STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R

An extremely good remake of the original! This game has it all: story, diverse and interesting characters, an awesome item creation system, tons of secrets (including a MASSIVE bonus dungeon and a hidden character), challenging bosses, arenas, cooking contests, a new fishing minigame, bunny races, so many optional skills it will blow your mind... I can't really think of anything this game doesn't have. They just don't make games like this anymore, the worst part is when the game finally ends. If you are looking for a good old school style RPG, look no further! Try the first Star Ocean game if you like this one too, though unfortunately you won't find it on Steam. That needs a good remaster like this. As for every Star Ocean game after this... Avoid them like the plague, they are all terrible.

I don't know what it is about Final Fantasy but I've never been able to finish, or really even start more than the first hour or two, despite how much I enjoy JRPGs. So far, Dragon Quest has been the only series that I'm able to play all the way through, something about the more charming setting and more straightforward combat just works for me. Well now I can happily say that Star Ocean also fills that JRPG niche for me. I had a great time with it, completed almost everything (besides catching a record size for EVERY fish I'm mean wtf??) and got overpowered as hell. Great times. I'm excited now to check out other entries in the Star Ocean games and see if they hold up as much as this one. 4/5 game 5 - Perfect 4.5 - Nearly flawless 4 - Well above average 3.5 - Above Average 3 - Average 2.5 - Not good or bad. Meh 2 - Dissapointing 1.5 - Bad 1 - Really Bad 0.5 - So bad it stays with you for days.

Started out trying to save the universe. Ended up a five-star chef, bestselling author, master alchemist, amateur composer, expert fisher and part-time blacksmith with a side hustle in pickpocketing and contraband. Accidentally pickpocketed my party member during leisure time in town. 10/10 would ignore the main quest to make more herbal tea again.

なぜこんなに高評価なのかわからない。

夏促之前两天开始玩，夏促没结束已经白金了。 很罕见的对于一个jrpg有很多话想说。（会包含部分游玩内容的剧透，但不含剧情部分） 1，其实对于玩过游戏多的人，像八方或者p5那样的游戏，既视感是很强的，八方其实是拿来了trpg的大地图互动，异闻录是捏了自家本传的收集合成和老式养成avg（类似心跳回忆），然而这种类型的rpg确实极为罕见，甚至可以说独此一家。冲这一点确实有条件的应该去尝试一下这款游戏。 2，本作剧情长度大概是传统jrpg的70%左右，也相应的比其它rpg少一次反转。但是这不重要，一旦上手就会发现剧情和对于rpg很重要的升级之类都可以算是额外附送的，游玩的核心点根本不在于此。 3，这款游戏的便利度玩起来不像一款复刻作品，甚至都不像传统jrpg。后期有飞船这种是那个年代的常规操作，前期就直接能有兔子跑图，和飞船的唯一区别就是不能渡海。除了最终迷宫可以随时传送，传送列表直接标注支线和pa地点甚至标明是否限时，除了限定物品其他东西有一个就可以直接复制，随意开关寻敌和躲敌，随意开启大地图秒杀敌人，随意制作所有道具（甚至包括经验值翻倍和所需经验值变为1的道具）等等。 4，一般rpg中重要的等级和钱在本作中完全不值一提，玩明白ic系统之后，你可以在第一个主城就实现经济自由，甚至如果你愿意你可以把商店里的所有东西直接买到上限；收到第三个人物之后你就可以直接凹出中后期的武器装备，主线大概50%进度的时候你就可以凑出无敌的装备（不是数值高，单纯是字面意义上的无敌）。 5，和网游一样，本作end game内容很重要，通关主线只是开始，你甚至可以刷词条凹上限 大概02年03年的时候我曾经在gb上玩过星海的外传，当时带给我极大震撼，以致多年之后我卖掉自己的老gb时只留下了星海外传这一张卡。如今看来由于纯日文的缘故我当年还是完全没玩明白那款游戏。我无法想象如果在当年就玩过本作的初版，我会对之后的jrpg抱有何等苛刻的标准。 即便以如今的角度看，本作的系统在传统jrpg中仍可以说得上是领军者，比八方等作品有几个身位的领先，只是由于时代原因体量和审美方面略有不足。 最后，既然有了本作，我们是不是可以擅自期待一下 北欧女神1 的复刻呢？

I had not played this game before and found it to be really fun. The story have its moments and chars are charming and unique. Im very keen the play the other games from this series :) Played on the Steam Deck.

Picked this game up on a whim and I'm absolutely loving it. Despite not knowing anything about the star ocean franchise this game was super easy to get into.

played this %98 on my steam deck and no problems ever occured and locked 60fps the whole time. the game is great and I enjoyed the story though they never do answer the questions you have from the very start of Claud's story and theres a loose end here and there, the game also felt a bit too easy at times but I think thats my play style and not the game itself too blame. overall love it and would recommend!!!!!
