Still, I wish they rerelease the others. Specially with the PSP store closing down, getting the first two games will become just about harder. Whether remake or original, though I think SO2 original is in the PSN, I think.

I have them both on the PSP in hard disk version. First Departure, a remake of the SNES-era SO1 in the engine of PS1's SO2, was recently ported to the Switch with a few additional art enhancements called First Departure R. I picked it up on sale for $10USD but haven't been able to play it yet.

I hope Second Departure, the PSP enhanced port of SO2, gets the same treatment.

I have heard it didn't do as well as previous entries, yes. Hmm...

I've been wanting to play other SO games, as I only own TtEoT. I know the fourth one is on Steam, but haven't gotten the chance to try that one yet. I'd wish they added the other ones to PC as well...

I picked up the 4k version that was released on PC and started it in summer 2019. I didn't finish it. It wasn't bad per se, just painfully mediocre. The plot wasn't very engaging, and some of the characters were just outlandishly bad.

I still need to finish it, though.

That's what I was honestly leaning towards the most so I'll probably get started on it today. I really enjoyed Star Ocean 2 so I hope this title delivers. For the most part, what I enjoyed the most from the series was the item creation and from what I know I don't think this one has any, but oh well.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is solid, but not as good as Star Ocean: The Second Story. In my personal opinion, anyway. SO2 is the pinnacle of the Star Ocean series.

We recently finished translating five blog articles that Shinichi Kameoka wrote about his time working on Secret of Mana: https://manaredux.com/lore/the-story-of-those-days-part-1/.

What's interesting is that the Maru project was defunct before Secret of Mana began development.

Hmm, I'm torn between Persona 3 or Star Ocean.

Go for the latter, I'd say.

Hey, everyone I managed to beat Suikoden (PS) today. Got all 108 Stars of Destiny, and did everything for the save transfer to Suikoden II. Decided to play a PS2 RPG this time:

Shadow Hearts, Digital Devil Saga, Persona 3, Star Ocean Till the End of Time.

Anyone have any recommendations between these titles?
