Anamnesis: (noun) The remembering of things from a supposed previous existence.

The latest Star Ocean outing is not another console release, as some had hoped, but rather a walk down memory lane on mobile devices. Star Ocean: Anamnesis follows an unnamed federation captain who must journey home after being transported to an unmapped sector of space by a failed warp jump. There he meets a mysterious woman with the power to summon warriors from other planes of existence. Think of it as an anime version of Star Trek: Voyager.
Of course, these warriors are all characters from Star Oceans past. So far, the list of characters as revealed by early screenshots include:
- Ronyx J. Kenny (Star Ocean 1) – Illustrated by Izumi, voiced by Kenji Hamada
- Cliff Fittir (Star Ocean 3) – Illustrated by Kazama Raita, voiced by Hiroki Tochi
- Maria Traydor (Star Ocean 3) – Illustrated by Itiso Kujou, voiced by Michiko Neya
- Myuria Tionysus (Star Ocean 4) – Illustrated by Katsumi Enami, voiced by Hitomi Nabatame
- Fidel Camuze (Star Ocean 5) – Illustrated by Akiman, voiced by Kaito Ishikawa
- Miki Sauvester (Star Ocean 5) – Illustrated by Ama Mitsuki, voiced by Nao Toyama
- Hana (Star Ocean 5) – Illustrated by Mago, voiced by Hana Takeda
- Pavine (Star Ocean 5) – Illustrated by Hakuseki, voiced by Setsuji Sato
The game will play on a freemium model for mobile and is supposed to come out this year in Japan. A livestream event is planned for Novermber 19th. A western release has not been announced.
