So in 2008 tri-Ace decided to bring the story and its characters to the West through Star Ocean: First Departure, a complete remake on the PSP with enhanced graphics and an entirely new engine. The original Star Ocean for the Super Famicom never made it out of Japan. Still, I found the characters to be charming and quite lovable.Īnd the fact that the protagonist Fidel isn’t a whiny kid that spends half the game complaining was refreshing for me. The combat system also caught a lot of flak for being chaotic thanks to its inclusion of every single party member at the same time, which might seem desirable at first… but ultimately dilutes the strategic experience. The game can be finished in under 20h at a leisurely pace! While the game has a charming art-style that’s true to the franchise and boasts some of the most beautiful graphics ever seen on an RPG of its kind, it comes at the cost of a lackluster plot and a criminally short length. The fifth main entry in the Star Ocean franchise gets a lot of bad press from long-time fans and some media outlets for a variety of reasons.Īnd even though I enjoyed my time with the game, I can’t possibly rank it higher than previous releases.

This is a franchise with a unique narrative style that brings together elements from different genres to create an enthralling experience. There wasn't any logical reason to step forward and try to protect the shady business of some repro sellers, specially when a pretty good chunk of the rom hacking community frowns upon reproductions of hacked games.Įdit: Knowing this and seeing how the translation wasn't finished I feel even worse for the people who bought the carts.Fans of Sci-Fi and Fantasy RPGs have always found common ground in Star Ocean.

I knew it was pretty damn weird to remove the patch for "deal" reasons. The author also was obviously quite angry about the situation, not very surprising, anyone would be. While there are many unfinished, broken and terrible translations uploaded in RHDN (mostly from late 90s and early 2000s), that seems to be the actual reason for removing the patch from that website, the author asked for it to be taken away, because not only wasn't finished, it was stolen too. On the RHDN forums discussion about this opened today and the person doing this translation chimed in to say that the patch was stolen and distributed without permission, and in fact is glitchy, unfinished and in his/her own words with "extremely shitty text".

Other times, a company even aproaches a fan-translator and buys their work, like Magical Drop 2, which Aeon Genesis Translation Project was making, but Data East snatched to put in their Data East Classics Collection.īut paying someone to make a translation so you can sell repro carts is quite another.

Someone pays another individual to hack a game.
