From PSU: "One must remember that Star Ocean: First Departure R is a re-release of a PSP game that released eleven years ago, which was then a remake of a Super Famicom title made in 1996. As such, you cannot expect a game like this to be on the cutting edge of innovation. At the same time, nostalgia cannot wash away all modern-day expectations either. The true question for Star Ocean: First Departure R is where does it stand between nostalgia and expectation?"
KeenGamer: "In celebration of the first Fire Emblem game coming to the west, here's the top 5 retro JRPGs on the Switch to wet your appetite. Because older RPGs play and feel a little different from new ones. Any game on this list will act as training grounds in preparation for diving into Fire Emblem. On top of that, all the games on this list have cemented their place in JRPG history. So if you want to embark on a journey, this list is great for that."
Player 2 takes on this take on the classic 16-bit RPG formula
Sahil Writes 'The original Star Ocean game came out in 1996 in Japan and was a Super Famicom (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) exclusive title.'
