You know those cartoons you used to watch as a kid? The sort where a band of plucky and unlikely teenagers wander round, getting into adventures and winning through using only naivity, their wits and a good dollop of luck? Well the Star Ocean games seem to be modelled entirely on that sort of series.
Star Ocean may not be a big name in gaming, but the series holds a special place for fans of Japanese role-playing games. Made by Square Enix, the minds behind the seminal Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean: First Departure is a remake of the original SNES game that started the series back in 1996.
