Yeah indeed, though it was Tri-Ace it was a different team than the previous Star Ocean, there wasn't even the creator of the serie on SO5, so even if Tri-Ace has the reputation of being better than SEGA it doesn't prevent them to get it wrong sometimes, in their case only one was bad enough to be bought by a mobile company in order to survive. As for PSO2 there is some similarities, not the same team than PSO1 (probably PSU/PSPo2i too) but at least they kept a few "big minds" of PSO1
