ALL THESE GAEMS!1

Edit: Loved the PSP version.

DarkLordMalik · Sep 17, 2015

Where is the first game? Is the story different for each part like Final Fantasy?

Cave Johnson · Sep 17, 2015

Dammit. I thought it was part 3!

Can't access PSN at work but I don't think SO1 PSP is on the US PS store :X

Jay Sosa · Sep 17, 2015

Doesn't seem to be a remake of the psp version though.

That sucks. I was hoping for a remake of the remake. Would sum up this gen pretty nicely.

Vincent Grayson · Sep 17, 2015

I can't argue with this! SO2 is still my favorite of the series.

gundamkyoukai · Sep 17, 2015

Day 1 , love this game.

AtomskEater · Sep 17, 2015

The SO5 gameplay video thread made me want to play SO2 again. It's a Christmas miracle!

Replicant · Sep 17, 2015

The PS4 games just keep coming and cuming like energizer bunny.

I love it! Moar!

Someone who knows Japanese could translate the text, but yeah...According to google translate it's not a remake.

bomblord1 · Sep 17, 2015

Oh man my favorite Star Ocean so is this a port or will there be graphical improvements or additional content?

Transistor · Sep 17, 2015

SO2 was the best Star Ocean in every way. Story, artwork, characters, music. EVERY WAY

Stuart444 · Sep 17, 2015

WILL BUY!

SO2 was my first SO and my favourite. Second Evolution was also good.

This is awesome news <3

The first game is actually very sparse story wise, and has lots of backtracking padding and a very abrupt ending.

It's worth playing but not essential at all for SO2. The only thing you'll miss out on is a recurring character (in a smaller role) and an explanation for what the character Leon is (a Fellpool, not seen elsewhere in-game but the race of the main characters from SO1).

gembel · Sep 17, 2015

so Japanese devs are all either PS4 or PS4/Vita or PS4/PS3 or PS4/PS3/Vita now

Percy · Sep 17, 2015

Just the second one? Not doing both PSP remakes as a bundle seems kind of shitty if it's just a port job. Well... depending on pricing I guess.

DaSorcerer7 · Sep 17, 2015

uhh, what?! how random

Prelude. · Sep 17, 2015

The Vita SE games keep piling up, what a turnaround from last year.

Star Ocean was never released on PSN

That's good to know. Hopefully this is localized even if just for PS4.

Vita means life. It was just in a coma

Yeah it's a port and not a remake.

It's a Port. No release date but it won't take too long to come out.

Thanks! I'll update the OP.

Footos22 · Sep 17, 2015

star light attack or whatever it was called in all its glory

It is a remake of the original Star Ocean 2 instead of a remake of the psp remake so likely not a port.

Edit: I talked too soon. It is port.

The funny thing is all this love came after Sony sold their S-E shares.

bloodyroarxx · Sep 17, 2015

Even as a port, RIGHT INTO MY VEINS

Goddamn Square you are trying so hard to make up for last gen and its WORKING!!!

Dwight Schrute · Sep 17, 2015

The gfact they are bringing the second might be a good sign for SO5.

SolVanderlyn · Sep 17, 2015

I really hope we can turn off cutscene voices this time.

Dedication Through Light · Sep 17, 2015

When will the third get a portable port?

Anyway yes, I need more Star Ocean.

GasProblem · Sep 17, 2015

Will this look horrible playing on a big tv?

What a shortsighted company.

Suzzopher · Sep 17, 2015

PS4 too? Nice! Good chance of localisation now.

Loudninja · Sep 17, 2015

I am fine with a port.

Sesuadra · Sep 17, 2015

So much vita love!

Dunkley · Sep 17, 2015

Well I'll be curious about how this one looks. Wonder if they got the anime cutscenes at a higher res, or potentially will redraw them in a style closer to the original.

And none of them will probably be released outside Japan (unless if there's a PS4 version as well, in which case we might get the PS4 version only)...

At least World of Final Fantasy should have a decent chance of getting released on Vita in the West since it was revealed for both platforms at E3.

No info so far, but the psp game did so it's likely.
