Both Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia are stored on a 48 Mbit cartridge not on a 64 Mbit one therefore I have changed the value in the article

[edit] Never heard it with Fantastic Space Odyssey

I have never seen this addition "Fantastic Space Odyssey" made to the cartridge, box, or instruction manual. Could you tell me where to find it?

I believe that the little blurb of Japanese text beneath the title [as seen on the box and/or cartridge] translates roughly to that, but I'm not exactly sure. That's just what I've heard, and I unfortunately cannot recall where. Please tell me if I messed up this response in any way, I'm still rather new to this.

My Japanese is pretty limited, but I'm pretty sure that the text beneath the English language logo is katakana, which is generally used to translate non-Japanese words into Japanese. Given the context, I think it's far more likely that it is simply a repeat of the title above ("Star Ocean") in Japanese. – Seancdaug 02:28, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

You're probably right. My Japanese is nonexistent [unless you count being able to say "Konnichiwa" and "Yatta"], so...yeah, you have the one-up on me there. Also, some research I've done recently has brought to my attention that "Fantastic Space Odyssey" is more than likely an unofficial subtitle added by someone, somewhere after the release of "The Second Story". Unfortunately, I'm having no luck finding out where exactly it came from. -- Duayne Kiuda 18 September 2005

I know nothing about the game or the series, but the Japanese on the box is katakana (スターオーシャン) as best as I can make it out. This is just a phoneticization (if I may make up a word) of "Star

Ocean" (lit. "sutaa ooshan"). --Kyle Davis 07:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Yet, the unofficial title "Fantasic Space Odyssey" remains... I'm going to go ahead and lose that until someone can offer legitimate proof for its implementation.

It probably comes from Track 1, Disk 2 of the Perfect Sound Collection; it's the first thing said. Whether or not it's on the box or spoken in gameplay...?
