Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Star Ocean has always been a story-heavy JRPG series, but The Last Hope really took a shine to having long cutscenes, really long. The game is a space opera story that chronicles humanity’s first expedition into deep space, following Edge Maverick and Reimi Saionji, inaugural members of the Space Reconnaissance Force.
Originally releasing on the Xbox 360 in America, The Last Hope had three different discs it was so long, and some of the cutscenes could literally last 20-30 minutes. Because the game was on the Xbox 360, this would mean that the controller would automatically turn itself off before the cutscene was over.
If you add up all the cutscenes, like in this YouTube playlist, it’s almost 10-hours worth of footage. That’s basically an entire season of Game of Thrones.
