In the game, you take on the character of Claude or Rena. The two characters are connected in the game, but I’ll leave that for you to find out more about. Smile.

A lot of the problems in the original Star Ocean have been taken care of – including having to journey back over vast distances in the wilderness/world to get somewhere you’ve been already, running into easily beatable foes again and again. A lot of people are going to be happy that this was changed.

Battles in the game occur in real time. You control the main character while the game’s AI controls other members in your adventuring party. The AI doesn’t do too bad of a job. If you want to take over another character in middle of a battle though (if you don’t think the AI is doing what you would be doing), it’s not a problem.

Overall, this is a pretty good adventure RPG for the Playstation Portable (PSP.) It might not be for all gamers, but if you like RPGs, there’s a good chance you’re going to like this one.

If you’ve played any of the Star Ocean series, we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below letting us know what you think.

Until next time … remember to evolve a little each and every day.
