I was expecting a simple port of the game, but this is so much better! Square Enix truly made an effort to improve a beloved classic. They've really modernized and enhanced the original by adding more battle mechanics, a revamped world map, and even fishing for crying out loud! I can't wait for this release :)

[@DragoonMS]

This is a bit of a port, somewhat - it's based largely on the PSP remake rather than the original version of the game on PSone.

[@Terranigma23]

True, but it look a LOT better than the PSP. Portait are finally beautiful (I can't stand the PSP character portait art) and the battle system seems so much more fluid.

[@Zyaire286]

Just played the demo of it and yeah, it is definitely something that I wasn’t expecting for any rpg game. Truly the benevolent ways of improving the game :D

[@jenniferhamels1176]

@@DragoonMS That makes zero sense. It is either a port or not a port. This is definitely not a port or a "bit of a port" of the psp version.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

This remake is looking incredible! I am surprised this was not at the Nintendo Direct.

[@nickwick35]

Thank you Square for actually adding more to the game and not just a simple remaster! This actually looks incredible.

[@victord777]

This remake could revitalize the star ocean franchise

[@Flegan777]

Star Ocean 2 has always been the peak of the series, but all these crazy new bonus features (which are definitely from the later titles) have officially taken it beyond that peak, beyond the stars, and into the next universe. I can't wait to enjoy Claude and Rena's adventure all over again.

[@Yusei255]

The map is the biggest and most welcome addition, so is the instant switch between normal and P.A mode. As that was soo annoying in first departure, as you litterly had to go put to the world map then go back in. Seriously can't wait for it, as SO2 has always been and will always be my favourite

[@ianlanford6922]

SO2 story always simple yet mesmerizing. quite unique battle system back then. maybe the only game that introduce a talent that steal npc stuffs lol

[@anayalater34]

So minor spoilers but to me it sounds like the PSP voice actor for renas mom

[@pridefulmaster1390]

that's because it is. the game is reusing the PSP voice acting for the English dub

[@martinvaux9843]

This game was amazing when it first came out. Picked it up on a whim for my PlayStation and later found out it was a rare game, and a bit of a cult classic! Anyway, here's hoping they do something similar with Suikoden 2, which remains the best ever of this era of RPGs!

[@lennalefay]

The Suikoden 1 remaster looks great, here’s hoping it does well so they consider it for 2!!

[@Lungoomba21]

Umm, the remaster is both games, that's why it's title has Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars because it's 1 and 2 respectively

[@daves6554]

Suikoden-related note If you're unaware of this... check out Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes which is out in April next year; it's the "Suikoden" that cannot be called Suikoden because the original creator is no longer with Konami and they didn't have rights to the IP

[@damonke79]

Suikoden II is awesome but not the best of the era. I'd still take Final Fantasy VII and IX over it...I'd take Xenogears over it.
