At a press conferance today in Japan, Square Enix announced (among other things) remakes of Star Ocean (http://psp.ign.com/articles/787/787042p1.html) (originally on the Super Famicom) and Star Ocean : The 2nd Story (http://psp.ign.com/articles/787/787043p1.html) (originally on the PS1), both for the PSP. The remakes will be subtitled First Launch and Second Evlolution respectively.
From IGN on SO1 :
First Departure is a refurbished version of the very first Star Ocean, complete with 3D graphics and CG cutscenes, not unlike the retelling of Final Fantasy III that was released on the Nintendo DS last year. Although no actual gameplay footage was shown, the screenshots we have here give a glimpse of what to expect.
Both should feature updated graphics and additional content. No release date has been given yet, but we should be hearing more this coming weekend at the Square Enix Party 2007.
This is damn nice to see. The original Star Ocean never made it out over in North America, so this is a remake that is actually a very welcome surprise. That scratches off one SE game we need to get over here, now how about Seiken Densetsu 3 and Bahamut Lagoon?
