I love the 2.5 HD style... it breathes new life to a classic game art style, while retaining the original concept. I pre-ordered the physical of this... Looking forward to it!
I also feel like this game's style feels much more dynamic and less over-saturated than the standard HD-2D from Octopath/Triangle (which I'm kinda sick of already lol).
I remember really enjoying the original release of this game back in the 90's. So cool that they gave it the attention and love it deserves. I can't wait to play through it again. I'm hoping that SquareEnix show this same amount of love to some more of their older games. I would love to get an updated version of Xenogears. That game was AMAZING.
@@alexanderfrancis3008 umm it's an expression referencing my looking forward to playing a favorite game of mine. I'm obviously waiting. It must get tiring replying to all the comments that you find dumb on UA-cam. How do you find the time?
I hope they re do dragon quest taras and cobis adventure just like this .. I miss The old gbc one going thru the sand level facing the cactus and candles always wanting to befriend the serpants with beef bought in greatlog waiting to see if you had a rare monster to breed with the magician that lurks by the stairs were you do the tournaments . Sheeeesh
I don't even need to watch another review. I am sold. Wow has 2023 has been incredible! We still have Super Mario RPG right around the corner on the 17th. Thanks SwitchUp! Cheers! 🍻
Really enjoyed the demo! The music was so nice, the writing interesting, and i would stop often to admire the art style. Right now I'm still playing through Octopath 2 but would love to pick this up eventually :D this would be my first Star Ocean game.
It was the combat that really sold me on this title. I already loved the art style off of first glance, but did not expect such a well put together battle system. I’ll probably be picking this up after finishing my Cyberpunk playthrough 😄
I played the demo and still remember the original from my youth. The new look fits perfectly, the voice output is very successful and the most important thing is the fun from minute one. I give a clear purchase recommendation.
It's so weird seeing this. First I hear about Mario RPG and now SOTSS?? It's like I'm going back in time again to relive all the old games I loved as a kid 😍
Torn between getting this on my ps5 or switch but I did demo on Ps5 so imma start there, having this on a handheld as well almost seems necessary tho, I’m hooked it’s bringing me back to some of the first jrpgs I ever played on PlayStation (never played the original but if I could go back I’d change that)
This looks so much better than i was expecting. When you guys rate in the 90s, I pay attention. My backlog is groaning already and sale times hasn't even started yet.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time as I’ve heard so many good things about the original and I missed playing it the first time. Preordered and it should arrive tomorrow (2nd). Glad the developers put a lot of love and care into this remaster. I love the sci fi/fantasy vibe. Private actions sound like it might be good fun to switch over too. There’s so many good games coming out this year, but it seems like this one will stand high amongst them.
@@davidtimmer596yeah, I actually wrote remake first after seeing all the changes in this video and wasn’t sure what it was technically. So good to see all the QoL improvements as well the gorgeous graphics.
I have never played the original. But I really want to play this new version. Based on this review It looks really good and promising. Definitely worth checking out.
Very excited for this one. Looks like an absolute blast to play. I like these RPGs that can be done in 30-40 hours, but if you really want to do more, you could put a lot of time into it.
my memories as a 17 year old are SCREAMING!!! Was my first star ocean game. "Ripper Blast" will forever live rent free in my head. So glad this and Suikoden are finally getting remakes!
First Departure R was tricky for me given how dated some of the material is, not to mention I hit a wall literally at the last map when it turned out I was too weak to even grind the basic enemies, but seeing this review makes me want to give the franchise another go. Also, this game has Welch in it, so that's a worthy lure for me.
I've been waiting for this since we got First Departure R. I didn't care originally if it was updated or even improved. But when i played the demo i could already tell this just felt amazing and all of the QoL stuff like the specialties menu makes this a much more enjoyable experience for an already great game. The replayability is top notch with so many recruitable party members even though you can only have 8 per playthrough so a lot of people can have a different experience. It truly is a wonderful game.
It's exciting to see such a unique battle mechanic. I'm personally a big fan of turn-based RPGs, but seeing different types of battle mechanics like this is exciting!
I never got to finish the original version because my little sister destroyed the second disk when I was a kid. I am LOVING this remake so much! Full voice acting! Fully orchestral soundtrack! Beautiful updated graphics! This is an absolute dream of a remaster.
Heh heh. I saw you play this a few days ago Mark. I knew this review is coming. I just didnt expect it to be this early though. A pleasant suprise indeed. 😄
I downloaded the Switch version the other day and just tried it out. Music... stellar, art... stellar, voice acting... Love it. Runs pretty much perfect so far on Steam Deck, looking forward to playing more of this.
This game looks beautiful. I’ll be picking this one up for sure. It will be my first time playing the game so I’m coming in as a new comer so hopefully it’s not too difficult to get going.
Oh boy, this one looks right up my street. I was secretly hoping it would be rubbish so I didn’t have to fork out the time and money for another JRPG. But it looks like I’ll be diving straight in.
This was always one of my favorite JRPGs - I'm so glad they did it justice with this re-release. Converting the old pre-rendered backgrounds into fully lit and modeled 3d environments must have been a huge chore, but I hope they do this with other games from the era like FF8 and 9.
This was one of those games as a kid that I could not beat and really had no idea what was going on. I made it to a different planet where I was doing bunny races… and got stuck
I remember buying this in 2000. I absolutely loved it and treasured it. Unfortunately, I had to sell the physical copy during a spell of hard times and was absolutely gutted. As soon as this was announced, I pre-ordered the physical copy immediately. I'm absolutely loving it. My only gripe is Claude's voice actor; who can grate a little. However, this is easily remedied by switching to Japanese voices.
I am playing the demo right now, and it's a joy to play. Especially the graphics and lightning are awesome. The only thing that is bad with Star Ocean is the long loading times between fights etc. The battle -system is very addictive. I enjoy this game more than Sea of Stars.
After not knowing anything and enjoying First Departure earlier this year I quickly became super hyped to see this. Can't wait. This is my fav look of a retro style so far.
I downloaded the demo for this back when you uploaded this and yeah... you're not wrong it really is that good, got the physical for Christmas. I would have totally overlooked this game so thank you switchup!
I'm an hour into the game, and didn't expect this much of a nostalgic rush. I played this as a kid, but it was so long ago that I thought I forgot most of it. The music takes me right back to being that kid.
I wanted a physical copy of this and i like playing jrpg’s on handhelds so I picked it up on the switch. Man was it hard to find i tried like 6 places they were all sold out luckily best buy had 1 copy left.
86 endings! Crikey. Yet another great looking switch game. The parry mechanic going out the window made me laugh. Love the combat hud, number spam is satisfying. Oh Mark, what are you doing to us all with these excellent reviews!
I cannot confirm that - I don't have the physical I am afraid and don't have that information - if it says Download required then I would be a little worried. Mark
Its like reliving my childhood.... when my mom was alive, she bought me this in middle school. My rpg squaresoft adventures were grand. Now as a 41 year old... this brings joy to my soul to see I get to own this again.... end game is so challenging and fun.... i cant wait until tomorrow. Rip mom.... this is for you!
😍 I really can’t wait to play this game again for the 5th time. This game is going to take up all my gaming time, now I wish they would do something with Star Ocean 3. That game with some love and care can be great. Happy Star Ocean week everyone!
The original Star Ocean 2 on the PlayStation is still to this day one of my most played games of all time. Ashton and his dragons, even with his weird barrel obsession, remains a top 5 favorite video game character. Can’t wait for this one!
It's just a 3D game with 2D sprites. There doesn't need to be a label for everything. This has the same graphical style as Xenogears and Grandia and was very utilitarian due to the underpowered PlayStation platform.
I'm so glad that I just finished playing *First Departure* last month. That way skill system makes more sense to me now. I didn't order physical copy of this one as there are rumours about hefty download (nearly 4GB) and I'm waiting for community's confirmation if Play-Asia's version doesn't have as big of a download.
How is the performance, vs. other versions (PS5). I'm torn on which version to get, since I have the first one on Switch I'd like to have this one for Switch as well, but not at the cost of performance or graphics.
something not mentioned is that you can change difficulty any time which is cool. Loved playing this game in the 90s on the hardest difficulty and doin the optional dungeon which was SUPER hard. POISON PILLS!
I really love the rise of modernizing retro styles in games like this, as well as from little goody two shoes and sea of stars! amplifying an already beloved artstyle for me!
UPDATE: THE FULL GAME IS ON THE CARTRIDGE (the only download is for French, Italian, Germans or Spanish language packs). Amazing that we have been able to play this one early - REALLY hope you guys enjoy the video. Mark

I wish they would've just included it and not cheaped out on the cartridges, but whatever, at least it's not essential 😅
Yay! Thanks for the update!
SWITCHUP on website says it's expired?
Gamefreak should take note😂

It would be awesome if we get a 2.5d chrono trigger but we all know that's never gonna happen
i dont like it, brings me back to my youth with all the real life movies and cartoons added to it. dont know how it calls

Dang I'm kind of amped for this one. The only one I've played was The Last Hope and that was a fun game.
Imagine that!! Xenogears R, but this time with the content of the second disc fully fleshed out!! And why not... additional content!!
Saying you can wait is so dumb. What are you going to do? Freeze yourself until release? Build a time machine? Or go to the studio with a gun?

Watching Mark (and others!) discover and appreciate one of my favorite games of all time is such a wonderful experience.
Thank you mate. Mark
I played the demo on Switch and I had so much fun. I cannot wait to play the full game. Thanks for the amazing review! 🎉
This just looks amazing. We have had SO many good games this year 🎉
Amen! It is insane how many great switch games have come out for hardware that is crazy out of date!
You're absolutely right mate - they NAILED this one though I haven't been so engaged in an RPG in years. Mark
Now I need this. My love is for RPGs. It looks stunning too 😍
Switch players be eating very good this year
Risk of rain returns releases the 8th of nov if interested it’ll be 12.75 at launch. Hopefully we’ll get silksong to really ice the cake

Definitely going to be picking this up this weekend! Great review as always Mark!
Thank you mate!
This looks so much better than i was expecting. When you guys rate in the 90s, I pay attention. My backlog is groaning already and sale times hasn't even started yet.
I swear as long as SE keeps on doing this 2DHD visuals I'll keep buying them. Thanks for the review guys!!!
I cant wait to see what the new spells look like... Lunar Light, Dimension Door, Extinction, Southern Cross.... I am so hyped!
I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time as I’ve heard so many good things about the original and I missed playing it the first time.
Preordered and it should arrive tomorrow (2nd). Glad the developers put a lot of love and care into this remaster. I love the sci fi/fantasy vibe. Private actions sound like it might be good fun to switch over too.

It's the Chrono Trigger of action JRPGs.
I remember the combat style of this game. It's great that you can move about while in battle. Different from other RPGs.
Another good one is Grandia!
Very excited for this one. Looks like an absolute blast to play. I like these RPGs that can be done in 30-40 hours, but if you really want to do more, you could put a lot of time into it.
I played 35 hours, I’m level 124, and I still feel like I missed a lot.
This game is just so beautiful. It is as good as i remember.
my memories as a 17 year old are SCREAMING!!! Was my first star ocean game. "Ripper Blast" will forever live rent free in my head. So glad this and Suikoden are finally getting remakes!

Welch is what kept me attached to this series, so I'm with you here.
Absolutely fantastic review. I've never really played any games from this series but really loved the demo and will be 100% grabbing it
Great review remember playing this back in the day on my PS1 mint game.
Think I will pick this up next payday!

What a score! Surprisingly just got my copy arrive from amazon a day early (result!).
Very much looking forward to diving right into this.
Yet another to add to the backlog! Great review as always!
It's exciting to see such a unique battle mechanic. I'm personally a big fan of turn-based RPGs, but seeing different types of battle mechanics like this is exciting!

Runs pretty much perfect so far on Steam Deck, looking forward to playing more of this.
Bought this straight after seeing your review, gorgeous looking game and the depth of mechanics is incredible without being over complicated, so good!
Glad you’re loving it! Mark
I never played any Star Ocean games. This looks really fun. Thanks for the review

Brilliant game. Mark
Great review, i'm a big Square Enix fan but i've never played a Star Ocean game before. I'll be picking this up physically.
Oh boy, this one looks right up my street. I was secretly hoping it would be rubbish so I didn’t have to fork out the time and money for another JRPG. But it looks like I’ll be diving straight in.
You and me both mate - was hoping for trash and got GOLD. Mark
Great way to start my morning is to watch a new switch up video with my coffee ! Cheers mate !
Lovely stuff mate! Enjoy your coffee. Mark
This was always one of my favorite JRPGs - I'm so glad they did it justice with this re-release.
Converting the old pre-rendered backgrounds into fully lit and modeled 3d environments must have been a huge chore, but I hope they do this with other games from the era like FF8 and 9.
THIS is the aesthetic I want for Pokémon's eventual Black/White remakes.
This was one of those games as a kid that I could not beat and really had no idea what was going on. I made it to a different planet where I was doing bunny races… and got stuck
Just grabbed this with a Black Friday sale, happy days
Had this pre-ordered, but definitely glad to hear it is this good!
Yep and no download needed
This game was so long but fun. I don’t know how far or long i’ll play but getting my physical for sure to play it for how ever long it takes❤️💪🏽🔥

Many thanks for your fantastic review. Will buy it today (have bought first one before).

"Is it time you finally dipped your toes in to this ocean?" nice :)

I wanted a physical copy of this and i like playing jrpg’s on handhelds so I picked it up on the switch. Man was it hard to find i tried like 6 places they were all sold out luckily best buy had 1 copy left.
Man, having a list of available PAs and being able to just fast travel around to get to them all is just fantastic. So excited to play this!
Square's 2D HD style looks incredible. Maybe it's a direction Pokemon would do well with
You know, I was actually thinking that when I was making this video. Mark
Finally SE does justice to one of their classics
Hell yes! there are no words to describe this nostalgia
86 endings! Crikey. Yet another great looking switch game. The parry mechanic going out the window made me laugh. Love the combat hud, number spam is satisfying. Oh Mark, what are you doing to us all with these excellent reviews!
hehehe yeah I tend to grind my characters to become absolutely unstoppable if I am able in RPGs. Mark
@@SwitchUpYt I hear that, overpowered as hell to rinse everything mwahah!
@@SwitchUpYt End game superiority is soooo fun!!
Would you guys consider doing an update video on the post game content that was recently added?
This has been on my list for a long time. I'm so happy to hear that there aren't any performance issues. Can't wait to play this!
So is everyone in agreement Mark must be called "Claude" under any circumstances from now on?
lol
I don't feel like the latest Star Ocean entries have hit the mark, but this looks to be an absolute gem. Purchased the physical. Thanks boys.
Reminds me of octopath travelers
2023 can’t miss for gaming!
For the physical version can you confirm thats its complete on the cartridge? Why does it have the download required warning on it?
I cannot confirm that - I don't have the physical I am afraid and don't have that information - if it says Download required then I would be a little worried. Mark

Haha thank you mate! Mark

This looks visually stunning. The gameplay being on point makes this look like a must buy for me. Thanks for the review guys!
I'm excited to pick this one up tomorrow. Definitely getting a physical copy for this release. Thanks for the review!
My God, this games visuals look phenomenal.
Definitely getting the PC version of this. I played the original and used a Gameshark. Wouldn't be the same without it

Great review, as always. I'm getting the physical/cartridge version of this game on release. Can't wait to play.
Don’t forget to use our Play Asia code ;)
@@SwitchUpYt Thanks!
Really loved the demo. My first star ocean game. Now you’re worrying me about getting a physical copy though lol. Thanks for covering it!
Would LOVE to see the classic Tales games remade like this, too. TALES OF REBIRTH PLEASE!

Hadn't ever heard of this game, and that's why i love this channel! This game looks awesome 👌 definitely one for the list!
Thanks mate
Nice review, I wonder, does the red indicator to parry can be set as other indicator? Maybe hd rumble or something else?
I see what you did there with the intro! 😂 clever clever!
Good to see that they went further than just a remaster, it looks really appealing.
Man, too many great games to play! Watching this footage and listening to the review has me second guessing my initial impressions. Looks great!
Would you rate the game any differently now that an update patch is available?
Been excited for this one so glad its looking like a banger. Art style is absolutely stunning and the game play looks like a lot of fun!
Just stopping by to see if I should be picking this up on the Switch. Still remember Claude’s original VA screaming “Tear into pieces”.
The original Star Ocean 2 on the PlayStation is still to this day one of my most played games of all time. Ashton and his dragons, even with his weird barrel obsession, remains a top 5 favorite video game character. Can’t wait for this one!
Darn, the backlogs keep piling up. This looks and feels amazing. I'm gonna get this when I got the chance. Thanks for the review!
This isnt a 2d-hd game. Its a full blown remake. Square enix made it known that its much more than 2d-hd or whatever its called.
The sprites are still 2D but practically everything else is remade in full 3D. Such a beautiful and unique looking style
“Or whatever it’s called” you already said what it’s called, twice in fact. Why play dumb and shit on the art style in such a snobby way?
On Sony’s website it’s officially described as 2.5D
It's just a 3D game with 2D sprites. There doesn't need to be a label for everything. This has the same graphical style as Xenogears and Grandia and was very utilitarian due to the underpowered PlayStation platform.
It is a 2d hd game
I'm so glad that I just finished playing *First Departure* last month. That way skill system makes more sense to me now.

Sooooo glad this turned out alright, I was torn on getting it but not anymore. Thx guys
This game is so fricken sick! Thanks for the review, Mark!
Fingers crossed we see a Parasite Eve remake next! 😍
So stoked about this game. It was one of my faves on the PSX, can't wait to revisit this gem in a brand new skin!
