Star Ocean Universe

I Fayt (Or Darren for my real name) created the Star Ocean Universe as a project solely per my own inspiration, due to a number of reasons detailed below.

Firstly, I love the Star Ocean games, as well as other tri-Ace & Square Enix titles and wish to provide a fan service placing as much information as possible on these great games in a one stop location, particularly relating to Star Ocean and its developers tri-Ace.

My passion for the series started a few years ago when I received a copy of Till the End of Time as a Christmas gift from my lovely fiancée; from there I began to frequent the large Game Winners community and discussed my love for the series; and other Square Enix games like Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts there as well. Soon after I found myself visiting regularly and trying to help fellow members at every opportunity; which fortunately lead me to been offered a position on the moderating team to run the Star Ocean Series forum!

From there I began to meet even more great Star Ocean fans, and attempted a few other projects which always had some Star Ocean feel to it. Including a Guild and various threads on Gaia online; as well as a fan site with an old friend Scott (best known as StarGGundam2) - unfortunately he as the lead admin had a heavy workload at the time and wished to cancel the project...I however still had kept a majority of the guides etc I had and wish to continue to use them, as well as create many more.

Finally, I've had a break from my old regular forums and began to visit a large fan site based on the Warriors games by Koei, called KOEI Warriors. Combining this with an inability to find a quality Star Ocean only fan site and my experience and work with the great Star Ocean series in the past has lead me to here. Attempting to provide a quality service to the fans with Star Ocean as the main focus, hopefully many Star Ocean fans and those of it's related companies and games will appreciate this, and help allow this place to grow into a massive online Star Ocean and related games resource and discussion location!

The site was created on the 1^st Oct 2007. Official opening & initial advertising of the site on a few select locations and to some friends began as of the 19^th Oct 2007.

Please note I have no affiliation whatsoever with any large game companies, let alone tri-Ace themself. I'm just a huge fan which hopes to provide fellow fans more information on the great Star Ocean series and related games!
