Star Ocean: The Divine Force is upon us! In the latest entry to this series that originated in the 1990s, we play as merchant vessel captain Raymond Lawrence. But, some fans are left wondering where this story is set, given the series’ intergalactic nature. Read on to learn more about where the latest Star Ocean is set!
Where Does Star Ocean: The Divine Force Occur?
As mentioned, this time around we follow Raymond Lawrence, who is forced to abandon ship along with a crewmate. In a last ditch effort to survive an assault from an enemy vessel, they head for Aster IV, which is like a snapshot of an olden age. Kingdoms of yore do battle with each other, serving as a backdrop for the latest in a long-running series of adventure games.

When Does Star Ocean: The Divine Force Occur?
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is set in S.D. 583, which is nearly fifty years after Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness. For additional context, that is nearly 250 years after the original Star Ocean. To expand things even further, since the original Star Ocean is — technically, anyway — set in 2432 C.E., that would mean this one is set in 2669 C.E. It hardly needs to be said (but I’ll say it anyway); that’s nearly 700 years in the future relative to the year 2022 C.E.! Who knows? Maybe we’ll get warp tech soon …
Star Ocean: The Divine Force is currently available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Stick with Gamer Journalist for more Star Ocean content, as well as coverage of games just like it!
