Star Ocean: The Second Story R - 1:1 Rena Intro Comparison, Uncut

  • 3 decades of a classic Sci-fi RPG, with 1:1 matching footage of Rena's opening moments! Claude is in a separate video: • Star Ocean: The Second...
    The video ends when Claude and Rena meet, since the events afterward are mostly identical except for about 4 or 5 one-minute segments. I was slowly losing my sanity trying to play in synchronisation.

    Demo was great, though the run speed is a bit low for how much larger the areas are. Lack of camera movement keeps getting me, I move right stick expecting to see around town or a forest or whatever, forgetting it is essentially a pre-rendered environment, it is just rendered from a few angles as you move through.

    @NAzo. 10 місяців тому

    I approve it all so far included getting rid of the Claude battle. It breaks the flow leaving it in since Rena see's the sacred forest as majestic and all that should give Claude the shine right before Rena's eyes. The only thing I'll miss is the animation from the PSP. I doubt it but maybe they can include them all as an extra on the remake? And I kinda liked the original font of the opening title screen where it says Star Ocean. It would be cool af if they include the other 2 on the game loop if it has one when you don't press the start button.

    Just wish the new style wasn't so zoomed IN. I love 2D sprites as much as anyone, but they look 100x better when they aren't SO pixelated, and they need a smaller aspect ratio or a farther camera for that reason.
    Having everything so zoomed in all the time makes the sprites janky for a lot more of the experience :/.

    • @DBarns7
      @DBarns7 10 місяців тому

      You said what I thought. The sprite like characters looked fine in the 32 bit game, but looked too pixelated and out of place on the current backdrop. They should have tried to reimage the characters to fit the rest of the environment. It's not a deal breaker, but it would have been nice to consider that.

    @nickfarace9339 10 місяців тому

    Man I didn't download the demo yet so I didn't see this intro before. The more I see of this game the more I am just absolutely shocked they went in this hard on a remake. Especially for a series that kind of died out with each game after 2 originally came out.
    Like the amount of effort put into this remake is what others should aspire to.
    I also hadn't played the PSP version with what looks like a restranslation. I always felt the text in the original PSX one was just so bad and it sort of ruined the whole story. So now I am also looking forward to seeing that retranslation since this obviously uses that.

    • @EiriSanada
      @EiriSanada  10 місяців тому

      I don't think the retranslation was recieved that well when it first came out. I suppose it's an overall improvement but it's also not very literal - it's quite obvious if you compare the text or play with Japanese audio, if you can understand it.
      That part's arguably a matter of style, but the other issue is that most items and skills have also been renamed, even when they had perfectly servicable English names in the original Japanese. Makes everything a little harder if you played the originals.

    By the time the Second Evolution came out I had 1,000+ hours on the PSX version and Second Evolution will never look right to me. Star Ocean The Second Story on PC was the one I wanted the most for a port, ended up with a whole remake instead. Now to load up the demo, speed run to the caste then spend whatever of the 3 hours remaining cooking Eggs and Dairy so I can start the game rich when it launches. It's going to look pretty dumb when the game launches and I have 20+ hour in the demo...

      I personally love this reboot so far, but I agree the sprite-like characters look out of place against the current backdrop. They put so much money into the project that they could have dropped a couple more pennies to update the character (playable) images, too. Just saying. By the by, I'm 55 and love these games. 😁

    In my oppinion: i love the retro intro cinematic more in the older versions, they seem more logic. The anime cinematics on the psp are really nice compared to the other versions. But the 2023 version has the most beautiful world/area/zone. All in all after seeing this video, i would say the psp version is the best cause it has the retro cinematic and the anime cutscenes, even though the world doesnt look as beautiful as in the 2023 version.

    This Star ocean version is okay to call it a remaster but not worth it to call it a remake! Dont know why they used the same character sprites. If they spent lot of time improving the world and terrain surely they wouldve done the same for the characters too. Then adding some small extra content and VAs but thats it. The first VAs was from the PSP and simply was imported to the newer game. Im a fan of the Star ocean second evolution but I just cant call this a remake.

    • @bojangler9685
      @bojangler9685 11 місяців тому +5

      Its def a remake, and they took a lot of stuff from the original 2 but added their own take. They really tried it seems... I think they tried different graphical choices but it did seem to be a choice to keep the original characters without any touch ups including smoothing( which most people prefer) and put them in a realistic but not too realstic world with lighting and shadows that affect the sprites. Also the gameplay just seems really refined in every way but the same.
      Regardless i still think we deserve the original on steam.
      Also it should be possible the modders could do some really cool stuff since its unity i assume?
