Star Ocean 1: First Departure Dated In Japan

[x3sphere]

According to latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, tri-Ace's Star Ocean 1 remake for PSP is scheduled to grace our friends in the land of the rising sun on December 27. A limited edition PSP Slim bundle with the game as a pack-in will also be released by the year's end.

While Square Enix did confirm that the remake would be heading stateside, a solid date has yet to be announced.

Now I'm really ****in pissed off about this game I though we had a whole new title on our hands of star ocean for psp now all it is a omg digitally remastered version with fancy pants cutscenes and the making of videos. It's a flipping rip off. If they woulda made a brand new version for this game that would be sick like I've said before but now I'm just wanting to shank someone.

But, unless you've played the translated SNES ROM, you've never even played this one... So it IS like a whole new game!:w00t:

Yeah, but I did, and loved it and I'm actually looking forward to getting it even though I've played it before.Besides, the translation that DeJap did wasn't exactly perfect.

But just to be fair this is getting to be a bit of a joke, rehash classic games without having to be creative beyond making new cutscenes and a few artwork galleries. We seriously could use some fresh titles or has everyone forgot the word sequels. I just got my copy of FFTactics and while I'm glad my overseas friend got it for me I would have rather waited for a true sequel to FFT...

At any rate, I'll be buying this game when it drops, the EU version that is. Why the Euro love?
