If the only new things are media (Voice, artwork, movies) then it's not really worth a buy, especially considering, you know, they're not very good.

Even if it means a chance to play SO2 without the shitty, shitty voicework.

Still that's not a tone to use for casting extinction.

I have whined. Thank you.

@indiemike: I had the SAME THOUGHT. I saw Dias in the town, in the middle of the fire and I just cringed, mumbling, "Don't turn around and walk through the fire. Don't turn around and walk through the fire."

Specifically, the new Rena design is was bothers me. She looks much younger, and she already looked young to begin with. Claude looks about the same in terms of age, but with Rena looking so young, the relationship between those two goes from, being rather cute, to being rather creepy.

To be frank, this is my biggest concern with any remake. A good remake is worth it's weight in gold, but the prospect of radical changes in art style, and characters being re-designed, tends to erk me on a real purist fanboy level.

Though, of course, some redesigning is necessary. This is especially true when you're taking 2D sprite based characters, and trying to bring them into a 3D realm. However, it's a balancing act, because while changes are often necessary, if you take them too far, they start bugging people like me.

Still, lots of nice looking new features in this remake. Even though I have the original, I might have to give the remake a spin, if it ever comes to America.

Let's be honest, we haven't hung out lately. I get it. I totally miss you too. I mean, I'd pick up a PSP and all, I'd still take that shiny, slim bullet for you. No problem.

It's just not the same. We've grown apart. Half of you knows that I played the hell out of this game back on the psx (damn kids still calling it "ps1," or "psone"). I loved it. It's in my top two favorites. I know you aren't going to work your ass off to port one of these psx gems to the DS, if it would even work. That's cool I understand it.

I just can't see us hanging out anymore. You've been tough to read. Those anime cut-scenes, I can deal with that. It IS an rpg, usually comes standard. But don't ever pull that Dias BS on me again. I saw it, don't try to hide the fact that you "Sephiroth'd" him in front of the fire in that town. I watched the clip seven times, I just couldn't believe you'd do it.

Do you not have faith anymore, Squeenix? Do you think this game won't sell or something? Does EVERYTHING need the FFVII treatment now?

Look, I know if we both worked at it, we can make it through this. But we BOTH need to work. Maybe you can start with a better selling handheld platform, that I actually own. It's like you're asking me to go cosmic bowling in hell. Come on man, I love cosmic bowling, but it's HELL. You've got to understand these unrealistic expectations.

PS: I won't even get started about The World Ends With You, but you're getting lazy, man.

Man, I'm so psyched! Really crossing my fingers for a quality port to America!!! Either that, or my Japanese education will have to take a step up so I can read it as well as I understand it...

With the Production I.G - the great studio behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, IGPX and Blood+ - created intro, the parallels between Star Ocean and the Tales Of series are becoming more evident than ever. Those franchises truly are "cousins".

I'm probably forgetting a few. But with Star Ocean 1 AND 2 coming out for the PSP (Hopefully in the US), the crop certainly got a bit sweeter.

I'm a JRPG fan AND psp owner, and I'm not sure what games are in this "amazing crop". Besides Crisis Core and the remakes of Final Fantasy, what exactly am I missing?

Ichidou

other than that i can't wait for this to come out in the states (it better >:( ) especially since after moved, a box of ps1 games went missing, this game included in that box (along with lunar silver star story complete and lunar two eternal blue complete :( )

but yeah i hope this comes over looks like good times >^.^<

Now if only Square would stop side-stepping around those FFVII, VIII, and (maybe) IX remakes.
