Ahead of this, we’d already gotten a chance to hear some of the English Star Ocean: The Second Story R voice acting. Claude and Rena teaser trailers appeared. Each one showed them in and out of battles.
We’ve also gotten a chance to see some other characters. Official art for Ashton, Celine, and Dias showed up. These images let us see the official portraits alongside their sprites.
Star Ocean: The Second Story R will come to the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC on November 2, 2023. A collector’s edition will be available, but it already sold out online.
