* Japanese name: '''スターオーシャン Till the End of Time''' (SLPM-65209), '''スターオーシャン Till the End of Time ディレクターズカット''' (SLPM-65438)
* Also known as '''Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time''' (Japan), '''Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Director's Cut''' (JP)

* An "undub" patch was released by fans which applies to the US-NTSC version (Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time). Basically it replaces ''all'' of the dubbed voices with the original Japanese voices. The latest version of the undub patch fixes nearly all spoken game text, compared to an earlier version which still contained portions of the English dub. Please be careful when setting the game cutscene setting to Automatic with this patch. There are significant differences in the length between the Japanese and English scripts leading to lines that drag out either shorter or longer than it takes to read the text in English. Also, you're on your own when it comes to dialogues in CGI cutscenes.

* This game has a unique save file for Battle Trophy Data. When you want to back up your BT data, you will have to copy the entire Memory Card file (Labeled <code>Mcd001.ps2</code>) by default. There is some sort of checksum inside the Save File/Game itself that corresponds with the actual Memory Card. This makes it impossible to back up just the BT file itself. Every time you try to copy it to a new Memory Card it will result in a corruption message when you try to continue from that particular BT file. You can load it up to unlock costumes for example, but you won't be able to get any NEW trophies on that file. If you want to continue getting trophies, you will either have to use your original Memory Card file that came with the BT file, or you will have to start a brand new BT data file on the new card.
