I loved Tales of Phantasia to death and this game reminds me so much of it. Dejap translated Star Ocean many years ago, I can't believe I'm only just playing it now. It's like I've been missing a piece of myself and finally found it. This game rocks.
They decided to remake 1 & 2 for the PSP after seeing how much interest there was in the romhacking community and years after people had already been playing it in English courtesy of DeJap.
god damn this looks and sounds beyond belief!!! if the people that made Tales of Phantasia made this, it's bound to be amazing. i'm about to play it on psp
@DLH112 Actually, the reason it was never brought to the US was because Enix had temporarily shut down its American division, although if it did come to the states they probably would have had to change the dialogue.
The first one reminds a lot of stories that appear in ancient history, of Alien visits from thousands of years ago and such...and our future, that someday it would be US who would be the "Aliens" intercepting in another planet´s business...that´s why I started liking that Star Ocean series and this is the game that made me get past the whole anime thing on certain JRPGs that I hated, I can now pass and even appreciate the style of many of these...
0:10 to 0:16 was enough for me. Those six seconds just prove how superb SNES audio is. Even though I've never played this game, for some odd reason, I was overcome with so much nostalgia, I wanted to throw up.
Really reminds me of Chrono Trigger & Super Mario RPG, since they're based off the same MIDI.
From 0:18 to 0:46... I looked at that and before i heard what he said at 0:46 I thought to myself:
''Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.'' And I laughed my ass of when he said what he says at 0:46
ive been trying to play this game on zsnes but i cant see the game. i can hear everything but why cnat i see anything. all i see is alot of white. whats the deal with that?
Yeah- the remake is way better than this version. The characters have well-suiting designs, better features, and a slower storyline that makes more sense.
the game voices are in english because Enix was plaining to launch it on America. But Enix America go bankrupt in 1997 and the game was only launched in Japan.
holy shi- voice acting on the snes!?

Well. I think the only english voices are the humans, while the guys with tails (haven't played this game in years) all speak Japanese.

Looks and sounds really cool! It's a shame that this never made its way to the U.S. during the SNES days. I should get this imported!

@kibjohn There are excellent translations everywhere, but you won´t be able to use it with an actual cartridge...just roms on emulators.

The people that made Tales of Phantasia broke off and formed Tri-Ace. Star Ocean is the spirtual succesor to Tales of Phantasia.

The intro of this game is really good, and so is the first hour of gameplay. Then it just falls flat and becomes uninteresting unfortunately.
