I recently played through the entire Star Ocean series, and at the time, a complete remake of Star Ocean 2 was the last thing I expected. While I did enjoy the original Star Ocean: The Second Story (On PS1), I also found a lot of issues with it, such as the dependence of walkthroughs, the random encounters, dungeon backtracking, and spammy combat.
The good news is, the Star Ocean: The Second Story R development team knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
This is a near perfect remake. If you’re a Star Ocean 2 fan, you will LOVE what they’ve done here. If you’ve never played the original before, THIS is the version that you should be playing.

💬 What are your thoughts on SO2 remake? Do you like it as much as me? Let me know in the comments below.
