![]() ![]() You can't do that in the PSP version, and it sucks D: That is one downside to the PSP version. I don't want to spoil anything, but the SNES version allowed you to return to earlier areas of the game after a certain point. The PSP version introduces a point of no return whereas there wasn't one in the SNES version. So I'd say the PSP version is better overall. If I remember right, upgrading some combat skills too much in the SNES version could kind of screw you over. But in this version you can disable certain combat skills, which is good. They also revised skills, I believe? In the SNES version you couldn't turn them on or off. That's the soundtrack they used in the PSP version. Quite a few years ago they released a rearranged soundtrack for SO1. So the bigger spells will freeze all action on the screen I'm pretty sure. Spells work like they do in SO2, if I remember right. In the PSP version she fights like any other melee character and only throws her daggers when she uses special attacks. In the SNES version her normal attack would have her throwing her daggers. ![]() One annoying thing is that they really nerfed Fear (Fia, whatever). The SNES one was kind of sluggish (though I remember enjoying it despite that). Still, the world map manages to work without ruining the game.Īs for the battle system, it is improved from the SNES version. The SNES's various areas were definitely a lot more interesting. The PSP remake is essentially SO1 redone with SO2's engine. I agree with you that the world map is a weird addition, though I understand why they did it. ![]() One of the new characters ties up a mini plot that wasn't properly resolved in the SNES version. I've beaten both the SNES and PSP versions of the first Star Ocean. Besides, I can't seem to get the SNES version running smoothly on my PSP Go. I've decided to continue with First Departure to try out something new. So what I'm really getting at is after my rant, is the PSP version worth continuing or should I go emulate the SNES version? Does the PSP version have any substantial new content that's worth playing for? I'm all for continuing the PSP version if it's the definitive version with new content and the like but it's just so visually bland compared to the original.ĮDIT: Thanks for the feedback, ladies and gents. Definitely glad they kept the original music score in this. The anime scenes were a nice touch and the voice acting a hit or miss. I don't really remember how the battle system was like in the original but the PSP version seemed kind of clunky too. It was filled with vibrancy and the like. I remember the SNES didn't really have world map traveling and instead opted for traveling through different areas to get to your destinations/towns. I'll admit that I'm all the way in the beginning of the game, just got to Coulte and Millie's father was about to turn to stone so I haven't experienced the other areas yet. ![]() Lo and behold, the game was kind of ugly looking and felt really clunky. So here I am, ready to experience the beauty that was the original SNES game and started up The First Departure. Unfortunately, I never did finish the whole game. I remembered playing the fan translated version on the SNES and was completely blown away by how amazingly beautiful it was with its visuals and music. So I finally got around to playing The First Departure for the PSP. ![]()
