So last week I got something in the mail, Star Ocean - First Departure for the PSP.

Now in the intro of the game, there was this spaceship commanded by an unnamed captain:

The said unnamed captain

Captain Wilder of Macross Frontier fame

They must of been separated at birth or something. I wonder If I’m the only one who thinks they look similar? And ohbytheway, finding a good screenshot of Wilder was a lot tougher than I thought it would be.

I’m glad they kept the Japanese version of the OP, 「Heart」by あすなろ (youtube at the bottom of the post).

Anywho. Some random screenshots of the pretty box and manual:

Of course, I love Star Ocean for its battle system:

Unfortunately I’m not that far in. I restarted the game after I beat the first boss since I accidentally added Cyuss to my party T_T

And the video of the lovely OP:

  1. Hmm…. why does the commander remind me of a little something called Xenogears instead… and what? You have the original? Damn.

    You know, I love Star Ocean. I just can’t get past the part where I get enough skills, and I keep on buying those composer’s pens or something (you know, at the village where it’s always autumn) and so I keep on grinding and grinding to get more money, skills and stuff and so I completely neglected to advance in the game.

    Do we have a mutual interest in RPGs?

  2. Also, I have a torrent somewhere that will eventually give me Eiyuu Densetsu 1-3. I already have VI FC for PC (a pacifier when I couldn’t find Ever17 in Taiwan), but this is in English, so it should be easier to play through.

  3. I started the series in the opposite direction; Finished 3, quit 2 and am now playing the 1st. Wish they retained the original Japanese voices though.

  4. @ ritchan - Actually, I had the official firmware on my PSP until 2 days ago. Shin helped by pointing me in the right direction, and I installed the new M33 5.0 on Saturday

    @ ritchan & Shin - Eiyuu Desnsetsu is on my “To Play” but.. it’s in a very very long line. And I still need a PS2 so a can drown myself in RPGS :(
