Never have had the chance to play it. I've even played some SNES SO1 but never this. How is it? Maybe someday I'll import it.

Are they not involved with VP gacha?lots of things would be cool, but as far as I have read, things have been too good at tri-ace and currently they're just doing the Star Ocean Anamnesis gacha game. I don't know if they're working on any console game and given the precarity of tri-ace as well as the Japanese gaming market being predominantly mobile, I don't see a lot of hope for them unfortunately. But I'd love to be proven incorrect obviously :-)

It has been fantranslated in english, spanish and french back in 2011 IIRC. Played it emulated on my GP32, I remember really liking it but I'm not sure about my tastes back then (it was 2011 and I still had a GP32)Never have had the chance to play it.

Edge Maverick has my vote for the worst name of a JRPG protagonist in history.I still can't believe that Edge Maverick is the name of the protag for a Star Ocean game and not a Mega Man X game.
She was! For now.So you know that Millie is one of the least sexualized females in the series right?
No, that's developed by 7th Chord. Probably also the reason why it's not actually called VP.
They did work on Xenoblade 2 and remastered Star Ocean 4 and Resonance of Fate whilst working on Anamnesis.
The internet is telling me that Wonderplanet just did the localization. It seems like developer is just SE. Your totally right though, tri-ace is not listed as a developer for that game.no that's Wonderplanet Inc who's responsible for Valkyrie Anatomia.
He did spend a lot of time getting stoned.Dorne's new design is pretty neat. Glad to see he hasn't skipped leg day. That guy was as lazy as a rock in the original.
I wonder if they'll use Ilia's First Departure design. They haven't used it at all in SOA.

yesSo it's just the PSP remake of Star Ocean but in HD resolution and stuff?

that's...uh....huh.I never realized until I saw her original design that there was such a difference...
The bottom one is the original design, the top the new one for the first release of First Departure. Unless you knew that already.that's...uh....huh.
somebody missed the point pretty damn hard
It's weird, especially when you remember that 80s and 90s anime wasn't any better in leg fanservice. Some people may even call it worse, as the go to outfit for it was a leotard. Either that, or bloomers.Y'all lose this argument everytime when you try to bring up the "good ol days" of anime in the 90s and 80s
Not to mention the non-hentai anime that had full frontal nudity, I dont even think you can have those type of anime anymoreIt's weird, especially when you remember that 80s and 90s anime wasn't any better in leg fanservice.

it's was funny when I watched Gundam 8th MS Team and got some teen tiddies on the screen.Not to mention the non-hentai anime that had full frontal nudity, I dont even think you can have those type of anime anymore
Good...good...
TFW all console Star Ocean titles will be playable on the PS4 in the West -except the one that actually matters
Fayt Leingod from 3 was also pretty bad...Edge Maverick has my vote for the worst name of a JRPG protagonist in history.
This series, I swear...
(How did Rena end up with such a relatively normal name?)
I never realized until I saw her original design that there was such a difference...
I'm sorry I'm missing the joke with "dinner" : P.Dinner dinner dinner!
Just kidding. Something new could be cool.
Hoping adding the switch in the mix for port(s) of Star Ocean help a bit in some way and that we at least see a good amount of ports of their greatest games.lots of things would be cool, but as far as I have read, things have not been too good at tri-ace and currently they're just doing the Star Ocean Anamnesis gacha game.

You just mentioned original Tri-Ace games so I couldn't help but think of this infamous scene from Infinite Undiscovery.I'm sorry I'm missing the joke with "dinner" : P.

Its going on right now! I got the cross over characters in both games. :)So there is going to be a cross over with the Tales of mobile game and the Star Ocean one.
They showed Rena there and god I hope they with that design if they ever make a Second Evolution R.
Left: PSP version. Brr... Right: Her design in the Tales X Star Ocean mobile cross over.

Second Evolution Rena is the worst goddamn design. She looks like she's ten years younger than Claude.

it's much better than the loli version of the PSP release, but there is something off with her face.here's the Anamnesis version that they've been using - if they ever update SO2 the way they've updated SO1's character art, this is what we can expect:

I really hope not that when First Departure R comes out they just bring over the Second Evolution port that is available on the JP PSN.Second Evolution Rena is the worst goddamn design. She looks like she's ten years younger than Claude.
I admire your bravery! Real talk though...I would probably buy it too. Just let me pause to use items and I'll get though it again somehow.L O L, I don't remember that scene at all. I did the second half in japanese only though I think.
I would totally buy a port of IU !
it's much better than the loli version of the PSP release, but there is something off with her face.
So, Second Evolution art is really bad but I kind of wanted to comment on this just a bit because its worth bringing up.She still basically looks like she's got toddler face, despite her body looking more like her actual age.
In all of these pictures, she looks her age. In Second Evolution, she looks like she hasn't had her period yet.So, Second Evolution art is really bad but I kind of wanted to comment on this just a bit because its worth bringing up.
Second Story is defiantly an old game so I don't really blame anyone for making the mistake, but its worth mentioning that Rena has always had baby face, not to mention she is a young character.
Here she is in Second Story:
This is her main character art, followed by her appearance in Second Stories' version of the animated cutscene right before the end. The more confident attitude and the more overall pleasing art style of the left image might make her seem a bit older, but she is still clearly supposed to be a young character.
Here she is in the Star Ocean 2 anime, Star Ocean EX:
And here she is in the official Star Ocean Second Story manga by Elemental Gelade's Mayumi Azuma (she also became the character designer for Star Ocean: Blue Sphere):
Rena was 17 in Second Story, which I think may have been changed to 18 in Second Evolution. Either way, face to body observations are probably not too appropriate. The art of Second Evolution was just ascetically displeasing, that is all.
That's my problem with the PSP First Departure redesigns, they look so generic. Sometimes redesigning an old character to fit modern standards ain't a good thing. The thing I liked about the OG Star Ocean designs was how unique they looked. To me, it's a shame when you take an original design with character and downgrade it to be "like everything else". I hate garden-variety bullshit!I never realized until I saw her original design that there was such a difference...
Yeah! I usually don't complain about redesigns and stuff like that, but I so hate her PSP design. Might be because Rena was one of my first videogame crushes when I was younger.Second Evolution Rena is the worst goddamn design. She looks like she's ten years younger than Claude.
I love the art in Anamnesis! She looks so much, much better.here's the Anamnesis version that they've been using - if they ever update SO2 the way they've updated SO1's character art, this is what we can expect:
