Literally the entire time playing I was thinking “If they do Xenogears like this I could die a happy man.” Absolutely amazing remake and amazing review! Totally agree!
there are two things that i miss from the original game that arent in the remake. The raw materials morphing in to the item you are creating and the voice line collection when you learn new attacks/spells. that was like our first iteration of achievements...to try and get every piece of voice lines for the characters
Anor calling out the dream we all have! #XenogearsRemake is definitely at the top of my wishlist. Thanks for the review, this game definitely looks like a solid remake that we should be aiming for.
*STILL A DAY UNTIL THIS GAME LAUNCHES AND I AM COUNTING THE SECONDS.* 7:14 You read my mind, man. I really want _The Second Story R_ to sell well and Square-Enix hire Gemdrops to remake other titles from their 2D library. _Xenogears_ is at the top of my list but I really want _Chrono Trigger_ to get the same treatment too.
It won't make my Top Ten video at the end of the year because I leave off remakes (Though I'm gonna shout it out almost for sure), but for anyone not instituting rules onto a list like that... It should absolutely be in contention.
Fun fact: Ashton is the actual hero of light but is cursed with extreme misfortune until you get back one of his holy weapon. You can see this in the church glass and tv show opening portraying him in holy white instead of his usual black attire with his weapon "Holy Cross".
I've always wanted to jump into trying a Star Ocean game, but it just never seemed to sync up with me at the right time. This might be my chance! Seems great.
It really is. Like, you COULD get Star Ocean: First Departure R because its a good game to me and you'd get to play with Claudes parents, but you absolutely can just hop into this one and be great.
this game is perfect on this kind of art direction and remake not the ultra high fidelity graphics they did on the FFVII remake. i love this remake bought PS5 and switch version today
@NaNoRarhThere are a couple small references like this, but my overall guess is that they wanted a canon choice in Ilia but also wanted people who played the first one and didn't get the Ronyx/Ilia ending to feel at home still or something like that.
Played about 55 hours with Claude. I maxed all my characters, finished the game, beat the optional dungeon, beat the trumpet boss, beat the arena, collected all the fish……feel like I still wanna keep playing lol. It’s a great game man. Kudos to the devs.
amazing review thanks. i’m a newbie to this game. only remember it on ps1 but the first one very little. but i’m buying this because I like final fantasy. and this seems to have endlessly good replay value
I hope this becomes a Trend to remaster old rpgs in this art of style. Legend of Dragoon Final Fantasy 7-9 Breath of Fire And so much more. I could relive my childhood and be the happiest being on the planet 😂
I'd love xenogears to get a HD2.5D remake. But I really want Parasite Eve to get an RE2 style remake. Both OG square PS1 titles that need some modern day love. Legend of Dragoon would be amazing in any graphic style.
A yes Xenogears. My number one JRPG since the day i 1st played it. Love almost everything about it. The amazing story, the way that it's paced, superb cast of characters(fuck you Chu-Chu),amazing music and world to explore. It has it all. If not for the second disk, it would have been a perfect game for me. And i will always have a burning passionate dislike of Squaresoft, for not allowing the team some extra time and money to finish it. As they wanted to force the game to end on the Solaris segment. And since the development team wanted to finish the story that they envisioned for the game, they had to take some shortcuts to make it before the deadline. So this is def something that would have to be fixed in the remake. They would have to take the visual novel parts of the second disk, and turn it in to actual gameplay. Then we have the whole topic of the religious aspects in the game, or the human condition. Dunno how that would fly with todays snowflake gamers. Still i really hope Square will eventually release it. At worst just give me the PS1 version that works on modern systems with updated translation.
Wonderful review. I can't wait to pick up the game. SO2 was my first and favourite of the SO series with the 3 being second. It's just sad that the new ones are just plain bad.
It’s very hard for me to get into rpgs ,I’m old enough I had a psx as a kid but I never had star ocean , the demo was something special i couldn’t put it down I haven’t had that feeling about any single player game in a long time
Sometimes games just hit you like that. It's similar to how lots of kids in the 90s said they hated RPGs, but loved Pokemon. It can be less about the genre as a whole and more about finding the RIGHT game. I'm glad you're enjoying it, though!
Generally with major studios there's a few websites where you can apply for codes, like Woovit or Lurkit or Rainmaker, but for copies well in advance of release you'll often need to pitch the Influencer Manager or Community Manager for the company and then it's a dice roll based on their campaign plans and your pitch. Worth a shot always, though, so long as you handle it professionally and just be open and honest about your work ethic and passion!
For me, I'm glad this came out now because January ends with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and you get a month from that dropping before FF7 Rebirth drops, so I'm glad this didn't get lost in the mix. RPG fans are EATING lately.
I tried it on ps5 and thought it was a bit jaggy but still looked great but then tried it on my switch oled and it really looked just as good but more at home on a hand held that I can play on the sofa,in bed etc..
I’m loving this remake, and I played the PSP version more than once. It just goes to show that Squenix CAN create a faithful remake. Let’s hope they continue along these lines, although they have a lot of trust-building to do with me.
this is a dream come true!! just incredible!! i would have preferred a FF VII remake like this! i even skip FF VII remake because being stuck in midgar for 50 hours and the huge story changes put me to much off. rebirth looks better but still ... the demo did not convince me either.
Dude this is more of the work of TRI-ACE and with a little help from Square Enix. Square Enix did a lot to publish this game but the programming was made by Tri-Ace Team. You should give more credit to Tri-Ace!
I acknowledge from the outset that Tri-Ace made the original game, but I can not stress enough that this is not just some uprez'd Remaster of an old game to cash in. SE basically overhauled the game, many of its systems, it's appearance, etc... And so I focused on SE because the amount better it is is immense. This isn't shade or a shot at Tri-Ace, mind you. I loved the game as a kid and it's not the only Tri-Ace game I've loved! I just need to focus on what was done here, y'know?
@@AnoriandGD I feel you bub! This was my Teenage J-RPG! Just saying that Tri-Ace made this game more and is funded by Square Enix. I was only trying to correct you. Also Squaresoft should not be a thing by now if ENIX DID NOT SAVE THEIR ASS IN THE YEAR 2002 AFTER LOSING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THEIR FAILED MOVE "FINAL FANTASY THE SPIRITS WITHIN"! So yeah bub, I only corrected you that Tri-Ace is the original and current programmers of this Star Ocean: The 2nd Story FULL HD 2.5D Remake. I hope this will blow out from the water Final Fantasy XVI. Here I am hoping they will re-release Star Ocean, Star Ocean: The 2nd Story and Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time from the Super Famicom, PS and PS2 as a faithful remaster for the PC and also release Star Ocean Second Evoultion R too for Windows. It was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT that Enix did not release a physical release of this game!
UHD 3D Remake of Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time should be next! Then Remaster Star Ocean from the Super Famicom, Star Ocean: The Second Story from the Playstation and Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time from the Playstation 2 and port it on PC. I want to feel again the originals in GLORIOUS 4K RTX SCREEN RESOLUTION! A Remaster that will correct the glitches and problems of the original games and is less pixelated!
Depends on the location! So in battle, and in most town spots, the camera is fixed. In the world map, however, as well as in a few larger locations, you can swing the camera around for different view angles.
I respect your opinion but i guess the 10/10 you gave to the game is based on how the handled the Remake and how they presented the game to the modern times.... Because the game is definitely good... But i don't think it deserves the 10/10 ... It has flaws but if you're a JRPG fan you'll probably wont even notice them. 😊
@@ZeNex74For both of you, is the issue that the combat just seemed too frenetic? It may be an issue of just not being the right game for you, but it might also be a case where toning down the difficulty is the best choice? Possibly worth trying in the demo to see if it feels a bit better.
yeah demo wiped me in the 1st cave. think i need to run around more but also think the controls on switch handheld are not good. special moves should be on the back bumpers maybe.. ill try again but such a backlog i may pass for a bit and see@@AnoriandGD
SO2R is very good by remake standards, especially visually, but it really just shreds the challenge off of the original game more or less completely. There's so much good stuff here though that it really highlights a lot of the flaws in the original SO2... namely, it's short, it's got a lot of rough edges for a game that is as short as it is, it has a lot of cut content and it shows, and the plot from what many would call the mid-game mark (but is really more like 3/5ths of the game) onward is near to non-existent. Also splitting the perspective of Claude and Rena into two 'stories' adds almost nothing to the game. Maybe if the base game were a little more engaging it'd feel more meaningful, but the game would be a lot better if they just let you switch perspectives during the game and do all the private actions for everyone. While we're at it, the remake should have removed the character limit and let you recruit all the characters simultaneously. There isn't really a compelling reason for limiting you to 8 characters total and there isn't a compelling reason why Opera and Ashton / Bowman and Precis to have to be separate either. Humorously the only entry in SO2 to go against this so far is the anime. The combat in SO2 is kinda shit. Stuff either kills you near instantly if you have the wrong equipment and too low of levels or it does basically 0 damage and is no threat at all. This holds true right up until the end of the game. So many of the killer moves require being horizontally aligned with the enemy and have near zero chance of hitting... this a bit part of why Dias is so broken. He can just go wherever he wants and use his ridiculous beefed up airslash with near zero risk. Then you get to the end-game where every boss enemy suddenly starts wanting to use instant party wipe spells (that are undodgable and freeze the screen so you can't act while they are going off) that really exacerbate the issue with levels and equipment determining whether stuff is fatal or harmless. R could have addressed that, but I guess they didn't really want to touch formulas. I don't particularly blame them, but it's a big part of why the best parts of this game are always going to be right before that one demon guy shows up when you're on the boat with the Lacour Hope. Really marks the transition between the game being fair/engaging and the game getting stupid.
@omensoffate ok so what? The game wasn't specifically made for people that were born in that time. It's a remake and games always try pulling in new audiences. Your argument is completely invalid. That's like me going around and spoiling resident evil 2 remake or final fantasy 7 remakes just because those games are 25 years old. It's not all about what YOU have experienced.
@@Super_DeathOkay, but... My question is what spoilers? Everything I mention regarding the story is discovered literally before even leaving the first town, with the exception of how many characters there are which is something that is even on the base Square Enix website for the release, and the fact that recruiting Ashton means you can't get Opera, and Ashton is someone you can recruit within the first 5ish hours of the game if you know what you're doing. Like, it's okay to not want to be spoiled, but given the things I mention in this video, you're essentially asking me to not even MENTION the story in a review of the game.
i hate the 2dhd look. It’s cheap and ugly. The center of the canvas should not have less detail than the surroundings, it creates the zoomed out, uncanny look. It’s hard dated and short lasting. They should treat the legacy series seriously and put proper budget on them when remaking them.
Excellent video and you really nailed it. Square did a great job with this one. I loved the original on PS1, i loved the demo and i cant wait to play this masterpiece again and again. Love goes out 🫶
If i just get a Xenogears remake in style of this and i could die a happy man.
Keep the dream alive!
Xenogears R with a fully fledged 2nd disc would be my dream remake
Do you have any experience with any of the other releases of Star Ocean 2? And do you plan on picking up this one? Let me know!
Mainly just the PS1, but I am beyond hype, already bought and predownloaded, may stay up late to play it
It was literally a big party of my childhood. I was playing this while everyone else had final fantasy 7.
To say I'm excited is an understatement.
I have extensive experience 😂 was one of my favorites as a kid in the 90's. This remake just feels like MORE in such an amazing way.
Literally the entire time playing I was thinking “If they do Xenogears like this I could die a happy man.” Absolutely amazing remake and amazing review! Totally agree!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
there are two things that i miss from the original game that arent in the remake.

Exactly, my boy. They remade the PSP port and not really the PS1 version, which I think was the superior version.
I played the demo and MAN did it transport me back to when I was 15! I will be getting this ASAP! Lovely review!
I had the same
Thanks so much! ^_^
yea the demo sold me after a couple minutes. very nostalgic!
My only problem with this remake is that it got some shit missing from the original game. I still got the original version of this game.
THIS GAME IS A TRUE MASTERPIECE BY THE DEFENITION OF THE ROLE PLAYING GAME GENRE!
Anor calling out the dream we all have! #XenogearsRemake is definitely at the top of my wishlist. Thanks for the review, this game definitely looks like a solid remake that we should be aiming for.
One can wish
this and chrono trigger. if they nail both then i can die happily.
I miss the old battle voice lines... TEAR INTO PIECES
Okay, but counterpoint: POISON PILLS
me too, thats why i spam ripper blast back then. the ripper blast skill animation now seems to have downgraded compared to the original imo.
PILLORY!
PEAR INTO PEACHES
Stoner Claude will always be cooler than Nerd Claude.
How amazing the QoL upgrades in the remake is criminally under represented here.
*STILL A DAY UNTIL THIS GAME LAUNCHES AND I AM COUNTING THE SECONDS.*

Keep the dream alive ;_; One day I will have best boy Bart Fatima in HD and it will be glorious.
I would kill for a Xenogears in this art style, one of my favorite games of all time
Oh man oh man the thought of Xenogears remake. Chills. Please Square Enix
Game of the Year. 😊

Dude just can’t catch a break
@@omensoffateNope, instead he catches dragons. *Ba-dum-tiss*
I love how much love Square poured into this remake.
They put in work and it truly, truly shows.
how uninformed. “love and soul” put into by contracting a third party
BOY!! Don't give me hope. Xenogears in 2.5D, that would be a dream come true
Keep the dream alive, bud! You have to keep hoping!
I've always wanted to jump into trying a Star Ocean game, but it just never seemed to sync up with me at the right time. This might be my chance! Seems great.
It really is. Like, you COULD get Star Ocean: First Departure R because its a good game to me and you'd get to play with Claudes parents, but you absolutely can just hop into this one and be great.
Great review, definitely this is the right way to do remakes of classic games, hopefully we get more titles this beautiful
Thank you so much! Literally every time someone compliments me like that it means SO much.
this game is perfect on this kind of art direction and remake not the ultra high fidelity graphics they did on the FFVII remake. i love this remake bought PS5 and switch version today
Exactly. I think HD 2D is beautiful, and I think 3D Remakes of high quality can be beautiful, but this 2.5D approach fits this game *perfectly*.
My copy arrives tomorrow. Excited!
Awesome!
the remaster treatment Final Fantasies deserved
I always wonder why they never reference Claude’s mother that was in the first game. Isn’t Ilia his mother?
That is the supposed mother.
@NaNoRarhThere are a couple small references like this, but my overall guess is that they wanted a canon choice in Ilia but also wanted people who played the first one and didn't get the Ronyx/Ilia ending to feel at home still or something like that.

Legend of Dragoon
Final Fantasy 7-9

And so much more.

It can certainly be Hit or Miss. I will say I enjoyed The Divine Force last year, so if you haven't checked it out, it might be worth it!

Currently, this is in pole position for my February game
For me, I'm glad this came out now because January ends with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and you get a month from that dropping before FF7 Rebirth drops, so I'm glad this didn't get lost in the mix.
RPG fans are EATING lately.
There are only two things I would change.
A: Have Usage, manual upgrading and 10 levels of both.
B: Have Rena learn 3-4 killer moves.
That’s it.
We need Chrono Tirgger and FF6 remade like this
I tried it on ps5 and thought it was a bit jaggy but still looked great but then tried it on my switch oled and it really looked just as good but more at home on a hand held that I can play on the sofa,in bed etc..
This remake was somethimg else. As someone that never played the original, this game is pretty fantastic
I’m loving this remake, and I played the PSP version more than once. It just goes to show that Squenix CAN create a faithful remake. Let’s hope they continue along these lines, although they have a lot of trust-building to do with me.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if they remade FF7 (again) along these lines. Honestly epic.
this is a dream come true!! just incredible!!

SO2R is very good by remake standards, especially visually, but it really just shreds the challenge off of the original game more or less completely. There's so much good stuff here though that it really highlights a lot of the flaws in the original SO2... namely, it's short, it's got a lot of rough edges for a game that is as short as it is, it has a lot of cut content and it shows, and the plot from what many would call the mid-game mark (but is really more like 3/5ths of the game) onward is near to non-existent.
