Item Description
A young Federation officer touches a strange device, gets beamed across the galaxy and lands on an underdeveloped planet, where a girl with healing powers mistakes him for a legendary hero. That chance meeting between Claude C. Kenny and Rena Lanford on the planet Expel is how Star Ocean: The Second Story begins, and Star Ocean: The Second Story R rebuilds tri-Ace's 1998 PlayStation classic for a new generation.
Developer Gemdrops chose a striking 2.5D look for the remake, placing finely detailed 2D pixel-art characters in fully 3D environments, so the towns, fields and dungeons of Expel feel both nostalgic and new. You choose at the outset whether to follow Claude or Rena, which changes your perspective on the story and which companions you can recruit. The cast that gathers around them is one of the series' most colorful, and who you invite along matters, because the Private Actions system lets you deepen relationships with party members during visits to town, shaping which of the game's dozens of possible endings you will see.
Battles take place in real time, with your party charging into the fight together as you direct the action. The remake sharpens the classic system with new layers: hitting enemies with sustained attacks can Break them and leave them open, at which point you can call in allies for powerful Assault Actions. Outside of combat, Specialties such as Cooking, Art and Metalcraft feed into an expanded Item Creation system, and the game's crafting depth has always been part of its appeal for players who love to tinker. Modern conveniences such as fast travel and three difficulty modes make the long journey easier to settle into.
The music is a highlight too. Motoi Sakuraba's original score is available alongside newly arranged versions, and full English and Japanese voice tracks cover the story. Released to mark the original's 25th anniversary, Second Story R is widely regarded as the definitive way to experience the fan-favorite entry of Square Enix's space-faring series, and with two protagonists and a web of endings it is an RPG built to be played more than once.
