They simply do not make them like this anymore, so I'm glad they're remaking it.

Why is no one talking about the Star Ocean Second Story R demo from Gamescom?

I haven't seen any US Youtube channels or twitter channels talk about this, so I wanted to make a quick summary of some features we've learned through recent announcements and the demo preview!

Here are the new features we found out about so far:

3 hit basic attack combos (from the PSP version) stayed. We knew this from previous trailers, but I'm noting it again.

Assist Characters get EXP (From what we can tell this doesn't apply to Reserve members, which can prevent overleveling / SP waste, which I'm happy about) You can see this below the party's EXP increases. This is also a good look at the Battle Results menu

Bonus gauge returns from 3/4, although we don't know a lot about it. This includes Chain Battles! (I hope we get EXP or Fol bonus returning but not the horrible, easy-to-break system 3 had.)

Our first look at the Field Menu! Includes full portraits, a reorganized menu, and some party banter

Party banter is present on the menu AND in the field

We also see a mini-map in the field, which has been previously shown but is a new addition

Battles are no longer random / visible enemies

The player can now gain battle initiative / back strikes, resulting in enemies being stunned at the start of battle (this isn't present in the original versions of SO2)

First look at the loading screen! (Come on, Bunny!)

That's all the new changes I've found so far. If there's any I missed, let me know!

I just hit the last save point in SO2R and I want to rant about how much I love this game even more than ever. I’m especially glad that we get to “know” the Ten Wise Men a little better, though I still wish there was more and what we got wasn’t basically a side quest info dump. I still haven’t unlocked all of it. I assume it’s post-game content.

Who is the hottest wise man and why is it Lucifer? I’ve seen some art of him being kind of cuddly with Philia. I wonder if that’s just a fandom thing or if it’s canon.

His theme song fucks. He fucks. Problematic fave

Part 2 of Star Ocean : The Another Story scans upload

I saved these scans from e*h*nt*i galleries. These were uploaded by user InfinityHelios on 2022-02-20 01:10. I’d seen bits and pieces floating around but never the whole thing! These are the lower res scans. If you login to the galleries, you can download an even higher res. Personally I couldn’t be bothered. I just really wanted to share these on a non-adult space!! But I understand if the original scanner/uploader requests a takedown.

Anyway I think these pieces are really lovely!!! I especially adore Rena’s soft facial expression on the Haoh gamebook illustration.

The file name mentions C60. I think recently or ... the 100th edition is upcoming? Time flies. I don’t mind the redone art for the PSP ports but Minato Koio’s original art will always hold a soft spot in my heart...

I'm so glad Star Ocean 2R lets you cycle between all three versions of character portraits.

I’m obviously sticking with the new art because it’s sensational, but I love that I can see original PSX or even PSP portraits in 4K on demand.
