Steer the fate of the galaxy in this Japanese-style console RPG full of magic, science fiction, gods, and demons. Through an adventure set four hundred years after the events of Star Ocean: The Second Story, players follow the tale of Fate Linegod, an Earth lad on the brink of manhood, who travels with his family to a planet on the edge of the mighty Galaxy Federation's influence.

Though protected by the Federation, the planet is attacked by an unknown alien force, and all its cities are destroyed. After losing his parents in a second attack, while fleeing to a place of refuge, Fate and his friend Sofia must now face their true destiny, together but alone.

Instead of menu-driven combat, Star Ocean 3 offers real-time interactive combat, similar to the .hack and Tales series. Battles occur when running into enemies on the main travel field or when certain pre-scripted events occur. In battle, the player directly controls one character, while the other two characters are controlled by AI. The player can, however, choose the tactics used by AI characters or switch which character they are directly controlling

STORY:
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time begins on the planet Hyda IV where a young man, Fayt Leingod, and his childhood friend, Sophia Esteed, are on vacation with Fayt's family. Fayt is the son of Robert Leingod, a famous scientist in the field of symbological genetics. For an unknown reason, the Vendeeni — an alien civilization with highly advanced technology that spans only a single planet — attacks Hyda IV unprovoked, thus initiating a war with the Pangalactic Federation. Fayt and Sophia escape on the starship Helre, but are separated from Fayt's parents, Robert and Ryoko Leingod. The Helre is also attacked by the Vendeeni, and the two are separated.

CHARACTERS:
- Fayt Leingod (Earthling, Male, 19 years old)
The main character of Star Ocean 3. He is a seemingly normal college student from Earth who doesn't pay too much attention to his studies, and takes every opportunity to engage in combat simulation holographic games. He uses a sword in combat, with some skill in Symbology.

- Sophia Esteed (Earthling, Female, 17 years old)
Fayt's childhood friend who accompanies him to Hyda IV. Sophia was born on the orbital colony Moonbase and moved to Earth later. Because she is such close friends with Fayt and his parents, as well as her parents and Fayt's parents working together, she is considered a member of the family and refers to Fayt's parents as "Uncle Robert" and "Aunty Ryoko". Unusually for girls of her time, she has traditionally feminine interests like cooking and sewing. She uses Symbology in combat, and is a weak physical fighter.

  MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION:

This stunning science-fiction adventure takes place in the year SD 772.

A brutal attack on the peaceful world of Hyda has separated Fayt from all that he knows and loves. Now he must search the galaxy to find what he has lost.
