Classic RPG, Star Ocean First Departure R will soon be releasing on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. The game first came out on Sony's handheld PSP and is a remake of the original Star Ocean.

    this is like the 3rd opr 4th time this has been released! Squeenix need to get a shufty on and do a re-release/hd remake of star ocean til the end of time!

    I rather wish this one put more effort into its hd presentation, like Trials of Mana remake is doing. That game looks like a modern JRPG. This one sticking to the tiny retro sprites is less... impressive.

    Still have the original Till the end of time on PS2. Probably my favorite SO since the Snes game. I never got to finish it though. Still have a lot of oldies waiting in line to finish.

    I do hope that the JRPG remake/remaster trend continues on the Switch.

    Personally, what I want most would probably be a Tales of the Abyss remaster. Great game, but had severe, gamebreaking load times on PS2.

    Guessing the R is for Rehash? Resell? Reused? Redundant?

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    its my 2nd fave JRPG of all time (breath of fire 3 is my fave this needs a complete remake like the mana series) Star ocean 3's ending is really good probs my fave ending to a game, then theres the endgame/new game which has different difficulties like the mobs doing 4x damage and having 4x health n stuff like that and collecting the tropihes too required multiple restarts/playthrough to get it was a well made JRPG that came from a time that enojyed (and was profitable) to make them! Edit i should be clear re release it for PC

    I forgot the meaning of that word but some JRPG series are very commonly known for having an R or an F at the end of the name representing an enhanced, complete edition of an older game. Or expanded with new content.

    Tales of Hearts R
    Tales of Graces F
    Persona 3 FES

    are some examples.

    Star Ocean 2 was one of my favorites back in the day. Still regret not picking up the PSP versions of 1 and 2, so I'm glad to see this happening. (Even though sometimes they go cheap..ish on ebay.)

    I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

    That's actually wrong. 

    Tales of Hearts R - "Re-imagination"
    Tales of Graces F - "Future"
    Person 3 FES - "Festival"
    Fairy Fencer F - "Fang"
