Star Ocean 3 – 2003 Developer Interview (Patreon)

This lengthy Star Ocean: Till the End of Time interview originally appeared in the official Japanese guidebook. It covers the creation and inspiration behind the game, character design, and how the battle system changed through the development. Perhaps the most enjoyable comments come from director Yoshiharu Gotanda, who waxes lyrical on the themes of fantasy and reality. Readers should be aware that this interview contains many spoilers, particularly when talking about the game’s unique story.
