RPG Site: "Star Ocean: The Second Story R has brought a cult classic into a new era. It’s been thoughtfully retooled, but it’s still packed with all the heart and soul of the original. Graphically, it’s gorgeous. It still sounds sublime, subjective song preferences aside, and the new quests and features range from fair to fabulous. It’s one of my favorite video games in even finer form."
A new Square Enix March 2024 Switch eShop sale is up and running with the lowest prices ever for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Paranormasight, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and more.
CCG writes - "On a technical level, Star Ocean 2 R takes all that was good about the original game and polishes it to a mirror sheen. Coupled with an immense amount of quality of life and rebalancing decisions to make this classic game accessible to both old-time and modern gamers, I cannot recommend it highly enough."
Square Enix, Tri-Ace and Gemdrops' role-playing game, Star Ocean The Second Story R has achieved over 2,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam.
Beat it. Great game. I have to replay it though so I can fight Gabriel without the limiter. I missed the damn cutscene the first time. I'm also in love with the OST at the bottom of the Maze of Tribulations.
Same but I was going through it again, cause I was playing both campaigns anyway. Could not do the cooking mini game for shit. My girl smashed it in about 5 tries. Got me that platinum lol I wont lie.
Loving it !
i really hope tri ace learns from this and ditches 3d. their 3d models are awful aside from valkyrie profile 2: Silmeria
if they'd go to a hand drawn style like odinsphere/dragons crown and make more games like this Star ocean remake that would be amazing
