Square Enix has released the launch trailer for Star Ocean: First Departure R, which launched today for PlayStation 4 via the PlayStation Store and Switch via the Nintendo eShop for $20.99 / £16.99 / €20.99.
Originally released in the west on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, Star Ocean: First Departure R tells the story of a young swordsman, Roddick, and his companions who first set off on a journey to find the cure to a deadly disease, before becoming involved in an adventure that spans across a sea of stars.
Our tale begins on the primitive planet of Roak where Roddick lives in the peaceful and uneventful town of Kratus.
When they reach the summit, the party encounter Ronyx and Ilia, who appear before them in a pillar of light.
