First departure of Star Ocean
So, what do you do if you're a game publisher and you've milked one of your most famous franchises to the point of near-exhaustion? If you're Square Enix you can simply dip into the vault and hook another classic franchise to the milking machine. This time around the publisher is pulling from the days of the Super Famicom, bringing PSP owners a remake of the original RPG classic Star Ocean. For fans, the question will be whether or not the game stands the test of time, even with a fresh coat of paint and a few new tweaks.
The premise revolves around the classic trope of a fish out of water. Imagine a Dungeons & Dragons hero suddenly beamed aboard the Starship Enterprise and you'll start to get a taste of the series' flavor.
