Star Ocean: The Second Story R has been announced during today’s Nintendo Direct. This remake of the second Star Ocean game is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch on November 2.
The game features stunning new graphics that combine 2D and 3D elements in a visually pleasing new engine. Players will experience pixel models in 3D environments, as well as beautifully drawn 2D character portraits.
The original game’s real-time battle system makes a return, offering players more freedom compared to a typical turn-based RPG system. In the remake, players can stun enemies with chain attacks and call in allies who are not currently in their active party for limited assistance during battles.
In Star Ocean: The Second Story R, players can choose between Claude or Rena as the main character and experience the story from their perspective. This choice will impact the available party members and events in the narrative, making it a significant decision.
A remake of Star Ocean 1, titled Star Ocean: First Departure R, was released in 2019, receiving mixed reviews. According to critics, such as our friends over at Nintendo Life, it was considered a standard remake of the classic RPG that was “starting to show its age.” Hopefully, the revamped battle system and new visuals in Star Ocean: The Second Story R will help modernize this new title.
