Star Ocean PSP gets release date News

PSP News by Robert Purchese

6 October, 2008

Square Enix plans to launch Star Ocean: First Departure on 24th October.

This PSP remake will mark the first time the original SNES Star Ocean story has been told outside of Japan.

And better technology means a revised game engine and better battle system, as well as fully voiced and animated cut-scenes. Voice acting - we should try that. No I will not stop mentioning it.

Star Ocean is an RPG made by Japanese outfit tri-Ace, which is hard at work on a fourth game in the series for Xbox 360 next year.

The developer is also remaking Star Ocean 2 (Second Evolution) for PSP, although no date has been mentioned outside of Japan.

Yet another squenix game that I'll have to buy and then download a pirated version that swaps out the horrible english dub for the original one.

Also, the second game is out January 6 in the US and the 'EU' release is slated for Spring 2009 (and of course the US release is unregioned and cheaper) so there has been mention of dates outside Japan.
