Dictionary Entry[]
- Star Ocean (The Last Hope)
- An expression used to describe the vastness of space. Its etymology probably stems from the resemblance of the great expanse of space and its uncountable shining stars to the vast, sparkling sparkling ocean witnessed by Earth's great explores, back when much of the world still remained to be discovered. The term is often used even by civilizations unaware of the concept of space.
Quotes[]
I know it must sound weird, but sometimes I think there just have to be other worlds out there, beyond the sky.
― Rena Lanford in Star Ocean: The Second Story
Stop being full of yourself, it's ridiculous. The star ocean is endless, the world vast beyond knowing. If you're presuming you can carry it all yourself, you're a fool. It is the stars themselves that decide between prosperity and destruction. All is fate.
― Eleyna Farrence in Star Ocean: The Last Hope
