Star Ocean 5 Developers Want Series to Continue Trying Something New; Talk About Cleavage
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness is now in the hands of gamers worldwide, and while it wasn’t a perfect game, it’s certainly quite enjoyable, especially for fans of the genre. Today Square Enix hosted a panel at Anime expo, and Producer Shuichi Kobayashi and Character Deigner Akira “Akiman” Yasuda talked about the possibility of a new game and… cleavage.
Below you can get the gist of what they said, reported on Twitter by the good folks at RPG Site:
Producer Kobayashi wanted to make a new JRPG right now and bring it over to the West as soon as possible #AX2016

As producer of SO5, Kobayashi wanted characters closer to SO3. With it being on PS4, wanted a mix between manga and realistic art #AX2016

Akiman wasn't able to draw good cleavage in Street Fighter, & is happy with anime and SO5 he's finally able to. Sees it as revenge. #AX2016

It's been 7 years, and they wanted SO5 to feel traditional, but tri-Ace wants to try something completely new next time #AX2016

Producer Kobayashi wants the Star Ocean series to continue, will quit if it doesn't, and wants to have cleavage in future games. #AX2016

Kobayashi isn't popular with girls, but likes Star Ocean because he can be popular with girls there. #AX2016

Speaking of cleavage, as a funny note, Fiore Voice Actress Aimee Castle had a few comments on her own on the character’s alluring looks:
Aimee Castle didn't realize Fiore's outfit in SO5 was mostly skin, loved it, and thanked Akiman for all the tweets she gets on it #AX2016

Aimee Castle wants people to dive deep and explore Fiore's cleavage and experience it. What happened to this SO5 panel. #AX2016

I can definitely say that I did appreciate Fiore’s cleavage, and I’m glad that Square Enix decided to bring it to the west without toning her looks down.
