Star Ocean The Second Story R

Gemdrops’ Star Ocean: The Second Story R launches next week, and as a remake of the 1999 PlayStation One classic, it looks very good. A launch trailer is available, showcasing stunning visuals, high-quality character portraits and more. Check it out below.

Square Enix also revealed details on new features, like Assault Actions. These are granted by obtaining Jewels and allow for summoning protagonists from other titles, like Roddick from the first Star Ocean, Fayt from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time and Raymond and Laeticia from Star Ocean: The Divine Force. However, you’ll have to defeat them first.

There’s also New Game Plus, which allows for carrying over items, character stats, level, SP/BP, skills, upgrades, weapons, armor, friendship levels, encyclopedia completion rate and more into a new playthrough. Whether you chose Claude or Rena in the first go-round, either can be played in New Game Plus.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R launches on November 2nd for PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. A free demo is currently available.
