ExHaseo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hype! First Departure is tied for my favorite game in the Star Ocean series. Finally getting a rerelease is really exciting for me. I'll probably end up picking it up on both Switch and PS4, but I'll definitely get it on PS4 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that one is just a port of the psp game, you can still play 2 in english on either the ps1 or psp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrHambone Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Nice, too bad no Vita release but I guess I can't be too surprised. If only they would localize Star Ocean: Second Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game already translated, both ps1 and psp version have come out to the west. I hope we will get the second story one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majob Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I'll buy it only to help with the release of Second Story. First Departure is extremely short by JRPG standards and the PSP remake was pretty much just a lite version of the second game.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (sp?) was the 1st VP game I’ve ever played and loved it. On topic: this is good as I never played the older Star Ocean games. Til The End of Time was my very 1st Star Ocean experience and I absolutely loved it. Will be getting this for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't played Lenneth then you absolutely need to, definitely one of the best JRPGs of the PS1 without a doubt. Covenant of the Plume wasn't bad either. First Departure is very short just to let you know, you'll go from the beginning of the game to the end without even realizing it. Think of it less as its own game and more as a prologue to the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite games though and I'd love to have that plat on my list. Kind of sucks knowing the only thing standing in the way of that is a translation lol.

Undead Wolf Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 That's great news! This is a series I've only dabbled in before. It looks like this will be the perfect game for newcomers like me to jump into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandA60VISE Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 That's nice, probably won't purchase as I've already played the PSP version. Not even trophies would be an incentive because no way am I gonna grind for a Star Ocean platinum. Now that user who demanded Valkyrie Profile, yes please I'd gladly replay that game.

DamagingRob Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @majob I don't know how the first one is so inferior to the second, but it's been awhile since I played them. I just remember really liking both on the PSP. Neither tops the third one to me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
