<p>Quickly after the reveal of <em>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</em>, Square Enix Japan began teasing a new game Thursday, and it might be a new <em>Star Ocean</em> game.</p>
<p>Not much is on this teaser site, however; but it includes &#8220;Sar&#8221; with a space in between &#8220;01 01&#8221; and an ocean below. Square Enix is also using the hashtag, &#8220;#sqex_secret.&#8221; This may lead to the thought that a new <em>Star Ocean</em> game is on the way, as the word star&#8211;and the picture behind of an ocean&#8211;links to the series name.</p>

<p>When Tetsuya Nomura left <em>Final Fantasy XV</em> as creative director, he told Famitsu (via Kotaku), &#8220;I get bored working on just one thing for a long time, and I tend to like working on all sorts of different projects.&#8221; Nomura is currently developing <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em>, and has been known for working on multiple projects at once. These different projects include Play Arts figure designs, but he also said in the interview that he is &#8220;Of course [&#8230;] making games as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yosuke Matsuda, the CEO of Square Enix, previously teased that an unannounced console JRPG would be coming this fiscal year to <a href="http://trendy.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/column/20150313/1063163/?P=7" target="_blank">Nikkei Trendy</a> (via <a href="http://gematsu.com/2015/03/square-enix-president-teases-jrpg-surprise-for-fiscal-2015" target="_blank">Gematsu</a>).</p>
<p>The last <em>Star Ocean</em> title released in North America and Europe was <em>Star Ocean: The Last Hope</em> in 2010.</p>
