Star Ocean The Second Story R

Square Enix’s Star Ocean: The Second Story R has received its version 1.1 update, adding the new Chaos difficulty, the most challenging mode yet. It also features the Ten Wise Men, the story’s main villains, as new raid enemies. Check out the trailer below.

If various bosses and enemies one-shotting the party wasn’t enough, Chaos mode is indeed super-hard. The good news is that defeating the Ten Wise Men in raid battles unlocks them as powerful new Assault Actions to hopefully turn the tides.

Several new weapons are also available across the board, and various NPCs like Mayor Regis, Allen and Mariana now have illustrations. Those who enjoy seeing the different expressions of characters can view them in the Character Graphics Collection.

Finally, there’s an Endings Collection feature to replay any unlocked ending scenes. Star Ocean: The Second Story R is out for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC. A free demo is also available, with progress transferring to the game.
