I hope they can remake 3 as well. And perhaps they can be reminded of what made the SO games good back in the day. I'm still surprised Square still tries with this series.

Nebaku214d ago

While I haven't played it, SO5 was basically supposed to be a return 3, and it bombed critically.

So don't get your hopes up.

jznrpg214d ago

I’ve played this game a lot back in the day on PS1 and PSP so not sure why I wouldn’t get my hopes up they just changed the graphics a bit

SegaSaturn669213d ago

I hated 3, the horrible design and layout of the dungeons, especially lazy design of that sphere company. It would need a lot of work.

spicelicka214d ago

Ah, very Japanese of them to throw in a random alphabet in the name lol. Japanese titles always amuse me.

MrNinosan214d ago

Huh?
Do you mean the 'R' in the end that stands for 'Remake/Remaster" just like Star Ocean: First Departure R?

spicelicka214d ago

I know it's abbreviated, I'm just saying it's random to abbreviate it while the rest of the title is complete.

jznrpg214d ago

Playing it right now. It’s great. Big fan of Star Ocean , some are better than others but overall I enjoyed even the games that most don’t like This game is the best out of all of them before the remake.
I really like the backgrounds with the pixel PC/NPC

2nd story is by far the best game in the series.

STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R review - ChristCenteredGamer

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."

Cacabunga82d ago

This game IS brilliant! A perfect switch game on the go

shinoff218382d ago (Edited 82d ago )

I felt it was just as perfect on my 55 from my ps5

Relientk7782d ago

The game is amazing and just a fantastic remake. It deserves all the praise.

LiViNgLeGaCY82d ago

Because it's incredible, that's why.

Eonjay82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

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.

shinoff218382d ago

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.

MrBaskerville82d ago

Forgot I had this game, should get back to it soon, was enjoying it a lot!
