As a SNES JRPG at its core, it was competent but definitely couldn't stand with its contemporariesĪnyway, like I said it was fine. Its such a wet fart of an ending.Īnyway, like I said it was fine. You are introduced to this big new threat, there's no explanation or development of the conflict or enemy, you are just funneled to the final boss. go to a new planet, get a sliver of an overworld with 2 locations that are basically 1 screen each and a final dungeon location with copy/paste design (typical SO fare, so no points off here). You wrap up what seems to be the main plot, only to discover there is a larger galactic threat. very rarely have I seen a game where the team so blatantly and obviously just ran out of time. Thats just the battles though, as for the final "act". From a power yet undiscovered, a new generation will be born. Dragon Roar is SO1's equivalent of Side Kick from SO3. Winning in 99.9% of fights is just spamming abilities.
Allowing teammates to use abilities meant that you would hear your teammates constantly call all out their ability names as they completely emptied their MP bar on trash mobs in a game where MP healing outside of towns is painfully difficult and expensive. It was alright, in the end it was really saved by its characters and the PA system.īattles were ridiculously broken, in that if you weren't completely overleveled all it took was a simple stunlock and you would be staring at the game over screen.

The sprites look really good, even blown up on a 55 inch TV upscaled to 4K and the character portraits obviously fitted right in.

Square Enix did a wonderful job porting the PSP version to the PS4 and the new character art is such a huge improvement over the PSP ones that the game is no longer off-putting to look at. Overall I had a lot of fun with the game, it was just a nice, easy experience with some decent characters and a straightforward plot without too many embarrassing JRPG tropes. The game also benefited from having no little off-putting humor or crass character designs in it (something that SO3 and onwards couldn't escape). I ended up cheesing the game by creating that item that gives you an instant level up, simply because I didn't have time to die to over-powered enemies at the end of the game (a stable of old JRPGs to me). The music was Motoi Sakuraba doing his thing (in a good way), and the combat system - while being relatively simple compared to the later games - was pretty much straight forward. And it was actually very enjoyable! The story was basically anime Star Trek with some pretty straight-forward themes.

Especially if they’re into hack and slash and beat ‘em up games.So this was actually my first proper full playthrough of a Star Ocean game. Even players who aren’t JRPG fans might really enjoy the combat. It holds up very well and is by far the most accessible way to play this first story.
By modern standards, it might seem fairly simple, but this is a port of a PSP port of a Super Famicom game. It’s a must-play for JRPG fans, and gaming historians.
The soundtrack is a memorable and fairly traditional JRPG-style one. The game is absolutely gorgeous, and will be a real treat for those who love their pixel art. The graphics have been updated with large 16-bit sprites on 3D, 32-bit looking backgrounds. The game has had its balance adjusted from the PSP version, in order to provide a smoother difficulty ramp, and speed mode has been added to allow characters to move faster. There’s also a new fully voiced English language option. This guide will tell you all you need to know about who the best characters to recruit in Star Ocean 1 are. The game even gives the option to choose between PSP and PS4 character portraits, as well as Japanese languages. If you’re playing Star Ocean 1 (Star Ocean First Departure), you’re going to want to know who the best characters in the game are because you get a limited number of recruitment slots and you need to plan your party ahead of time. This remake of Star Ocean adds gorgeous anime cut scenes to help tell the story, along with anime-styled character portraits.
