Are you ready for a reborn adventure among the stars? Square Enix has been diving back into its history to bring back games from the past and give them new life. The 2.5HD style has granted them new styles to work with, and the next game to get that treatment is Star Ocean The Second Story R.

The title is arguably the most beloved entry in the RPG franchise, so seeing it reborn for modern consoles will be quite a treat.
