I really wish they'd just throw the director's cut into the North America release.

Innocent bystander here, but can someone tell me what extra material is added into these 'director's cut' editions?

I'm not too happy with how multiple editions of the same DVD and game are produced.

Bored? "160"

Well, Star Ocean 3 was like the beta and this is the final product. Really, those who had bought the first one must be REALLY pissed off. It has many new systems, at least a new character, many new scenes, a bonus versus game, and NO BUG THAT KILLS YOU TO DEATH.
I assume what they add was huge, because the game is now on 2 DVD, when the first one was only on 1.
For the international versions, do like me : when you want a RPG, wait a year and buy it then, if they have done a good international version ; if they don't, you'll buy the game ultra cheap ; and if it has an international version WITH ENGLISH voices unremovable, cry and forget this game.
I know that's what I'm going to do on DQ8 and Valkyrie Profile 2 whenever they come out.
In the meanwhile, play the other +alpha games, like I'll do with Star Ocean and ShinMegaten.

Well, when they "finished" the first version of Star Ocean 3, the directors of Triace said in an interview that they were going to begin to work in a near future on a new game, "who would be a sequel to one of their games they wanted to transform in a series like Star Ocean", if I remember well.
But then, maybe they were talking about this new complete Star Ocean 3.
Or of something absolutely different. What have they done apart from StarO and Valkyrie?

Also a couple of people said they wanted to make another and that there was still fan support for the game. If you piece together the puzzle, it does look like there's going to be a VP sequel next.

Also my theory (based of hope and desparation) is that SO2 keeps getting delayed because they want to include this full version in the outside Japan release.

- Two new playable characters (Mirage, an NPC from SO3, and a new samurai-ish guy who seems related to another NPC)
- Party maximum of 8 (in SO3 it's 6; you still can't get two of the characters, but at least you have a larger pool to draw from)
- Three new costumes for all characters (including the new characters)
- Versus mode!! This alone would make it worth it
- Extra dungeons
- Certain characters get new spells
- BUGFIXES!! Well, hopefully, they don't introduce more.
- Voiced endings. SO3 didn't have any!

Seriously, if the domestic release isn't the DC, that would truly suck. The DC version's extra stuff (on paper) beats the crap out of the old version.

I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard.
I will rule the world

and find that truly good cup of coffee.

*sacrifices an incredibly HUGE herd of goats so that the gods will allow VP2 to be made*

And I don't care if they make a DC version or not, I'll buy both if I have to.

I think the costumes can only be used in versus mode... deception.

That may be if you could do Versus mode against monsters (and that's a big if, as from what I've seen so far you can only Versus the playable characters), because there's plenty of gameplay movies in the alternate costumes while fighting the monsters.
