Star Ocean First Departure R 

 

Are you educated to the history of Star Ocean First Departure R? It was first released on the Super NES, and then remade for the Playstation Portable. Now it has been enhanced for the Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Star Ocean First Departure R definitely shows its retro roots in this downloadable only title on the two modern day consoles.

There are problems in Star Ocean First Departure R that families must be educated to. These issues are violence, magic, blood, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, false gods, evolution, and more. What is with Japanese entertainment and women slapping men in the face? Why is violence against men so acceptable? Is Star Ocean First Departure R part of the war on men?

The music in Star Ocean First Departure R is fantastic. I loved listening to this game. There is also voice acting and you can pick the language (Japanese and English). This 4.1 gig downloadable video game has real time battles where we hack and slash away at the enemies. Make sure you are close to them or your character will have to chase them down.

The Japanese intro song was not translated into English. The graphics in Star Ocean First Departure R range. From the anime cut scenes to SNES and PSP looking graphics in battles, maps, and towns. The storyline in Star Ocean First Departure R captivated me immediately. It is also cool to see where a franchise comes from. Star Ocean First Departure R does that in spades.

Families will get their moneys worth out of Star Ocean First Departure R. Expect to spend quite a few hours on the story, grinding, cooking, and more. Plenty of known science fiction elements are used in Star Ocean First Departure R. I enjoyed playing Star Ocean First Departure R. My biggest complaint is some of the long periods we have to go through before being able to save.
