Item Description

The BradyGames official strategy guide for Star Ocean: First Departure is the definitive companion to tri-Ace's celebrated remake of the original Star Ocean, rebuilt from the ground up for PlayStation Portable. Published to coincide with the North American PSP release, this guide arrived at a moment when Western fans were finally getting their first proper taste of a game that had been Japan-exclusive for over a decade. That context alone makes this guide a meaningful piece of JRPG history on a platform that quietly became one of the best homes for the genre.

Inside, you'll find comprehensive coverage of First Departure's sprawling sci-fi fantasy world — full walkthroughs of every story chapter, detailed maps, and breakdowns of the game's Private Actions system, which branches character relationships in ways that still feel ambitious today. The guide covers the full cast of recruitable party members, their skills trees, and the item creation and crafting mechanics that have always defined the Star Ocean experience. Boss strategies, item lists, and party-building advice round out a guide that was genuinely useful whether you were a series newcomer or a returning fan.

Beyond the practical content, BradyGames guides from this era carry a certain tactile nostalgia — the layout, the font choices, the full-color artwork pulled straight from the game. Flipping through it brings back the distinct feeling of sitting with a new RPG and mapping out your adventure before you'd even touched the opening dungeon. For a game as layered as First Departure, having a dedicated physical guide was less a luxury and more a necessity.

This one is for the Star Ocean faithful, the PSP-era RPG collector, or anyone who appreciates a complete, well-produced guide to one of the more underappreciated entries in the JRPG remake canon.
