Following up on the Xbox 360 release of Star Ocean: The Last Hope earlier this year, publisher Square Enix today announced that an "International" edition of tri-Ace's sci-fi action-RPG will arrive worldwide on PlayStation 3 come February 9, 2010.

The long-expected PlayStation 3 edition (Square never billed the game as an Xbox 360 exclusive) will bundle a variety of language choices--"English and Japanese voice options" and "English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese language options"--and apparently packs a new auto-targeting feature.

Nearly identical fact sheets for the earlier Xbox 360 and upcoming PlayStation 3 editions can be found below, illustrating how "amazing graphics and visual effects only possible on Xbox 360" have been replaced with "amazing graphics through Blu-ray Disc."
