Description
Journey to the stars in the definitive remake of a 16-bit legend with Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP. Originally a Super Famicom exclusive, this high-definition reimagining brings the series' origins to a global audience with beautiful hand-drawn cinematics and a refined combat system. It is a mandatory essential for JRPG collectors and fans of the Star Ocean franchise looking to experience where the space-faring saga began.
Ditch the turn-based limitations and master the fast-paced, real-time battle system that defined the series. First Departure features an expanded script, fully voiced dialogue from a star-studded Japanese cast, and new playable characters that weren't in the original release. The gameplay emphasizes the Private Action system, allowing you to build relationships between party members that influence the story's multiple endings.
