Star Ocean: The Second Story R has just been announced during today’s Nintendo Direct. A remake of the second Star Ocean game, it’ll be launching on the Nintendo Switch November 2.
The game has totally new graphics that blend 2D and 3D in a gorgeous looking new engine. You see excellent pixel models moving around in 3D environments, plus lovely 2D drawn character portraits.
The original games’ real time battle system makes a return, where you can control and fight with characters in your party with more freedom than your typical turn-based RPG system from that time. With the remake, you can stun enemies with chain attacks and call in allies who aren’t currently in your active party for limited assistance during battle.
