Hey everyone,

By the looks of things, European PSP owners will be seeing Square Enix’s remake of the original Star Ocean; Star Ocean: First Departure sometime during October 2008.

For those of you that don’t know what Star Ocean: First Departure is, it’s a remake of the original PlayStation Star Ocean game, only with a revised game engine, improved battle mechanics and brand new anime style cut scenes.

John Yamamato commented on the matter saying:

Star Ocean has already proved to be a popular series in Japan, we now hope that players around the world can discover why by experiencing the origin of the series. With Star Ocean: The Last Hope arriving in 2009, there’s never been a better time to enjoy the Sat Ocean adventure.

Star Ocean: First Departure is set for release on the 21^st October across North America.

Hey everyone,
