Hi everyone! I want to clarify a few things that people have been asking about in both my combat guide and this video. - You can change characters you can control during battle, but you can't swap members of your current party with your reserves. - You cannot change the abilities mapped to the bumpers in the middle of combat. (L1/R1 or L/R) - Magic fusion does not exist in this remake. The PSP version removed this functionality due to other characters dealing faster and heavier damage, which made this function moot.

Star Ocean 2 is a first game that got me invested into JRPG's. I still remember it fondly when I first played it in 2000. The mix of fantasy and space opera is what always intrigued me about the series. I was extremely extatic when they revealed the remake. The demo was just what I wanted out of the remake. Can't wait for my copy to arrive. Honestly, I'd like to see Xenogears being remade in that style if they ever come up making it in a future which it happens to be my favorite JRPG of all times..

You know I was already planning on buying this game......But then you said New Game Plus and it was game over lol. I love it when games give you a new game plus because now it makes me want to go back and get other things I did not get in my previous run and since this game gives you a way better method of tracking affection with characters so you can get the endings, that means that there is no need for a guide to check for character endings anymore. Plus with the combat being more refined, there is more stuff to do even in comparison to both the original and the PSP version and you can summon characters like it is Marvel vs. Capcom, both this and TOA Beyond the Dawn will definitely keep me occupied until we get Granblue Fantasy Relink next year. As for this game, I am so excited to get this with the only negative being how annoying it has been with JUST trying to find a PS4 version of a game all of a sudden, because trying to get Star Ocean the Divine Force AND Disgaea 7 was very annoying. Now I have a new reason to dislike the whole PS5 version of games are out but the PS5 console still doesn't exist thing because relaying on the switch is something I REALLY don't like doing, however THIS will be an exception. Soild review overall Alex and I would consider Rena to be a monk class since they are healers who can PUNCH lol.

Updated graphics, updated QoL, additional content - but keep the soul of the games in question.

If you're lucky, you can get a really strong sword drop for Claude, which makes beating the monsters easier.

I would say that Second Story R's visual style is pseudo pre-rendered. It's not actually pre-rendered, but the 3D graphics are rendered in such a way as to be reminiscent of the way that pre-rendered backgrounds used to look. Maybe you could say that this is the 32-bit era of HD-2D.

I'm still waiting a remake of Xenogears and Legend of legaia.

Can only hope for Xenogears. With all the remasters taking place in recent years, would be great for 2D-HD remakes of Xenogears, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. They would sell like flap jacks @ Ihop, I would be beyond thrilled if this ever happens.

@3:07 "Might sound overwhelming for JRPG fans" ... eh. Not only was SO2TSS originally like that, but also any Tales of game, and also the first few Dragonquest games (except for the first one which was a solo adventure). This is nothing new for anybody who's been playing JRPGs for awhile. And then, more modern JRPGs do that too (Tales Of, DQ11, and I think even Persona dips into this).

As mentioned, this review is aimed at new people to this style of play. As such, they won’t have any context of “how it was in the original” as they would have zero experience with it

Just started watching & I have to say that I agree, they SHOULD go back to their roots cus that was clearly when they were making the best games! The games since then have paled in comparison imo. It's why I hae fallen way from JRPG's a bit as the quality of them simply isn't the same anymore. I don't care about visuals, I don't care about flashy effects. I care about good systems in place & a good story! The stories & character designs have suffered the most imo, w out of this world & unrelatable stories these days, & characters designed in a way where they look like they're from another planet. I don't like that. I like being able to relate to whatever it is I'm looking at or reading. I miss the days when stories & character dialogue was more realistic & down to earth. Things have become too "Anime tropey" which I absolutely HATE!

This is one of those games where I start playing and I can't put it down. Kind of like a xenoblade. A lot of games I'll start and play for a little bit and say oh this is pretty cool and then get sidetracked. Not this game, my switch is with me wherever I go LOL

@@BacklogBattle Really? I remember you had to turn off the "Motormouth" skill and then time spell activations for them to combine. Would be kind of a bummer if they're gone.
