Star Ocean the Second Story R is finally out! It reminded me of my playthrough of this just a couple years ago. When I was a kid, I thought Star Ocean 2 would be cool. I didn't realize it would become my favorite PS1 game! Tri-Ace really delivered a wonderful adventure with this JRPG, with a fascinating harmony of science fiction and fantasy elements. A future of our Earth, where space travel is not just possible but common? Travel to other solar systems and even civilized planets? Star Ocean has a direction similar to Star Trek's Prime Directive called the UP3, and much like Star Trek is violated constantly.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but with such an inspiring soundtrack by Motoi Sakuraba, gorgeous pre-rendered backgrounds, likable characters with flaws and virtues, and addictive action-based combat, I was immediately hooked. I immediately liked Ashton and his two dragons the best, and that holds true today.

Have you played this one yet? If not, why not? Star Ocean 2 R seems to just enhance all of these facets, so play that one instead of its more accessible!
