![]() ![]() High-Definition Visuals – Up-converted from SD to HD resolution, the quality of the game’s graphics and movies has been enhanced.Here’s an overview of the game, via Square Enix: A PlayStation 4 Dynamic Theme will be included to which ever purchase gamers make. Pre-orders for the PS4 version is now open where gamers can either pick Standard or Digital Deluxe. ![]() Unfortunately, there’s still no word when the game will be released outside of Japan. Gamers who will be getting it on PlayStation 4 can avail the digital Deluxe Edition where it will include the Star Ocean Live Collection 2019 digital soundtrack for 5,000 Yen. Though in reality Star Ocean never really did get the same treatment or was even regarded as being as popular neither.Square Enix announced today that Star Ocean: First Departure R for the Switch and PlayStation 4 will release on December 5 in Japan for 3,200 Yen. It isn’t as in-depth as say an old Final Fantasy title and its story certainly does not match such a series neither. However, if you are new to the game like we where, having no previous experience of the original Star Ocean game whatsoever, then don’t go in expecting much from it and keep your expectations low. We can appreciate such an old title and come to the conclusion that back in the day it was enjoyable and unique. So yes there is a lot of missable content within this game. Thus, you will end up missing out on some of these characters so pick wisely and don’t be afraid to say farewell to someone who may just end up being a more permanent party member in the future. There are many different side quests to complete and a lot of which will only occur depending on what character is in your team at the time, warning speaking of characters you are limited to having only 6 different party members and there are more than 6 available to have at any given time. Basically the world turns to stone and so does its inhabitants, thus due to sheer luck you find yourself aboard a Spaceship and thanks to time-travel your goal ends up being to try and prevent this from happening. You as a member of a young group of friends living out life as per normal end up witnessing the destruction of your home world and one of your friends becoming gravely ill. The story is rather basic, perhaps too basic for our liking. So we wont lie despite its flaws it was enjoyable to finally experience the first Star Ocean title and the title that gave us the newer versions of the games in the series. However, we decided to purchase this game as the newer Star Ocean titles are quite enjoyable and we where a big enough fan of the most recent titles. We will admit we don’t really tend to play many RPG games any more, mainly due to their length and how difficult it is to get immersed into something so long. Perhaps we are just being hypocritical here and as we have not played many of these much older titles, we are not used to them and have become less experienced with them. There is a formation and team tactic option but none of them stops the character from happily running off to their deaths.Īlso there is a lot of so called random battles, they are more like constant battles that happen after every few seconds and this can get tiresome especially when you want to just explore the areas at your own leisure. Our gripe with the system is with how the npc characters act during combat, they seem to have an obsession with running off into the fight especially when you would rather flee, obviously the end result was that the character would end up dead. ![]() Unlike a lot of other RPG games this one is not turn based, though it would of perhaps of been better if it had been. We do reserve judgement knowing the age of such a game but what we really disliked was as has already been mentioned is the battle system, it is terrible and really frustrating. Obviously though a lot of it does remain the same since it is only a mere remaster that has practically been ported to newer systems. We are new to the original Star Ocean game and thus cannot really compare or say much on that regard. ![]()
