  • Star Ocean The Second Story R released and in my review I want to talk about how great of a remake Star Ocean The Second Story R actually is. Star Ocean The Second Story R is interesting because it’s been so long and no one thought we would get a remake, let alone a remaster. In my review let me explain how the gameplay, story, and characters of Star Ocean The Second Story R absolutely blew me away! #starocean2 #starocean #squareenix
    THANK YOU again Square Enix for the review code.

    THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THE CHARACTER INTERACTIONS!
    That's what really makes this game. The story is alright but it's the characters and how they play off each other that makes this game so endearing and still hold up all these years later.

    This looks to be the RPG of the year, and your review made it look even better! I cannot wait to get this. I never grew up on this pixel style games either so seeing this is fresh and unique. Which console did you get this on? You went into great detail, gave you a sub brother and will check out your other vids 👊

      @SweisSenpai  9 месяцев назад +1

    Every review for this game is basically saying nothing but good things. As a fan of the original version I can attest that this remake feels like the definitive version to play. It's been a blast so far and I'm sure it'll be a title I come back to for years! Subbed

    While there are a lot of features that make the game easier than the original version, such as shield breaks, dodging, and making it easier to gain levels, they also made it much harder to keep enemies in a permanent stun lock which could be abused to beat even some of the toughest bosses with ease.

    t was developed by a the company founded by the Star Ocean 3, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, and Valkyrie Profile Silmeria battle programmer. No surprise it was a masterpiece of a remake
    renas AI is definintely way better as a healer. She always knows when to heal and runs around staying away from combat

    • @Eternalwarpuppy
      @Eternalwarpuppy 9 месяцев назад

      Sure would be nice if she could cast a buff or two when she has nothing better to do instead of spamming Star Flare.

    • @mikec5400
      @mikec5400 9 месяцев назад

  • @Darkheart68
    @Darkheart68 9 месяцев назад +2

    My advice to new players of the game would be to not use any of the guides online. It's very easy to make your characters overpowered very early, making even universe difficulty a cake walk. Beat the game legit the first time to have the best experience.

    To the purist argument: you just have to look at every title as its own game (remake or not), because at the end of the day it is its own piece of art. Then you can enjoy it differently and better in my experience.
    And also then you don't feel the urge to have to go back to the "original" first, if you never played it. You just can enjoy it for what it is on its own.

    Great review! There's something special about pixel games that just stands the test of time. It's the charm, the way the characters express themselves in a limited way, etc. It's kind of difficult to explain, but if you know, you know. I think you understand after playing this game. lol This is why Xenogears should be remade in this way instead of 3D.

    I have my mages on go all out and they devastate the field. They were always running out of mp until I got better gear to compensate. So much fun. My only disappointment is they changed one of the best op moves and what Claude says when he uses it. Tear into pieces….

    What I like was that there are cheese in early game BUT you have to either GameFaqs it or going out of your way to get it. The game will not let you know but there are more cheeses compared to the original version. Let's just say that the dev allows you to have fun for your discovery and Weapon Factor just opens a whole new can of whoopass.

      @@SweisSenpai As the guy who played this game to 100% back in the PSX/PSP, the new stuff they added was just chef's kiss. They literally removed all of the annoyance from the original like technical errors, Even marker, PA on the spot instead of re-entering the town with PA activation , or better yet....all of the other underutilized mechanic like Spells, Art, Writing, or Cooking got MAJOR overhaul. There are so much stuffs to enjoy now. NG+ is the feature that I asked for SO2 for a LONG TIME!!
