As previous games, players can change the AI in the various characters. The developers rae also promising not to make the item creation in Star Ocean 5 as complicated as the one present in Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope.

Odd numbered games have a protagonist with blue hair, while even numbered have one with blonde hair. He even spoke about his willingness to do more Star Ocean titles if given the chance.

“I definitely would want to make a Star Ocean 6 and Star Ocean 7. As long as there’s room for more new titles and the ideas for them, I have a sense of duty to keep the series going. Then again, that depends on how well Star Ocean 5 sells.”

Star Ocean 5: Integrity & Faithlessness is set to release later this year in Japan and sometime in 2016 in North America & Europe for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
