    Well, considering this game is well over 20 years old and is only now starting to show its age, I'd say that's very impressive for an action RPG.

    Yes its age shows but i prefer the 2d look of these jrpg's to most newer rpg's (not all). There's something very charming about these snes type classics

    Damn, I didn't have this game on my radar until I saw this review. I recognized a couple of music tracks in this review that were used by some very popular games made within the rpgmaker2000 and rpgmaker2003, back in the day! I never knew their origin until now. Also I found out that the composer is the same person who created the golden sun OST, hence the similarity.
    I bought Star Ocean yesterday and I'm very happy with it. True old school vibes without feeling as old as other games from that time frame.
    I can recommend it too!! Thanks for reviewing it, I wouldn't have found out otherwise!

      Haha I used to use rpg maker back in the day! Figuring out how to use that back in 2001 when I was 11 years old made me so much smarter with computers, I remember all the switches and variables and I even took sprites from some snes games which I remember being an ordeal. I figured it out by looking at the way games that other people made were programmed. I was way too ambitious with my games though and never completed any 😆. How was this game btw? You said you were enjoying it but that was when you had just gotten it. Would you recommend it to an rpg fan?

      Mashing is fun for some people for sure. Playin the game right now and clearly qualifying the combat as fun is a bit much. Spam A, a bit of shoulder buttons when the enemy doesnt break your animation and thats it. For an RPG you'd expect to make you think a little during combat, and it really doesnt.

      @@geronuis2295 Well some remakes can be good like the works of Resident Evil but i think where things fall apart alot is alot of ports suffer from developers not having the kind of pashion and ambition to put forth an effort and it can be seen quite evidently in the translation and story, as well as the gameplay mechanics. Also One paticular thing i see alot of in playstation ports like Breath of fire, Lunar, Star ocean is that the difficulty is toned down considerbly, dungeons are more streamlined, or even traditional mechanics taken out entirely in place of action oriented combat, etc. its a new world now and its all about appeasing the wider market fanbase then it is to give us an 80 hr written epic.

      I played Second Evolution a few years ago, and was pleasantly surprised by how well it held up. Maybe it was the vastly improved voice acting (Which don't get me wrong, wasn't stellar -- but it wasn't ear-grating like in the PSX version), but I think it had more to do with the early-game pacing, and the fact that the narrative plays out like a much better "Episode of Star Trek where they land on an underdeveloped planet" than the first one does.

    My biggest complaint about R is why they couldn't have updated the battle system to include 2 player co-op for the battles. I mean it would work quite well as both players would be able to enjoy the story together. (Even having both decide the Private Actions together even if only player 1 controls everything else.)

    Sad part is how they actually broke the game in general. by adding unnecessary things to both SO1 first departure and SO2 for PSP and PS4.
    First: they added the god speed combat skill which was never introduced in the original Series for SNES or PSX
    Second: basic attacks are chained up to 3 attacks which sometimes feels really clunky compared to single 1 click 1 atack on SNES and PSX
    Third: SO1 for SNES had LINK COMBO as a combat skill enabling to steal other character skills( what i mean stal is disableing stolen character skills ) so that you can use linked skills yourself. As Rodrick I had 4 skills linked on 1 button on SNES. you could do some cool and crazy combinations with this ( this was never again introduced on both PSP and PS4 version )
    The Map system in SO1 was not so boring as on PSP and PS4 since there was no difference when walking on a actually field and for example forest dungone. you felt the whole map was like a one thing. here you see the difference by naked eye.
    If any1 is interested in playing the original SO 1 I advice getting SNES emulator and downloading SO game with translation if i remember correctly the only group who translated this game were Dejap.

    have a nice game :)

    I could only ever get into Second Story. I played all the way through the SNES translated version, and I couldn't tell you a thing about any of the characters (Except that one was Ronixis). I'm not sure why the other entries failed to compel me, but I think 3's dumb plot twist played a huge part in that.
