The PSP has been very kind to RPG fans lately, with retooled versions of Valkyrie Profile and Final Fantasy Tactics being released both Japan and here. Now Square Enix is continuing the trend by giving us enhanced versions of the first two Star Ocean games, the former was never released in the US, and the latter, which came out on the PS1 way back in 1999. According to Yoshinori Yamagishi, producer of the series, he wants the remakes to feel as though they’re completely new games, so both versions will have new content and animated cutscenes to add to the overall content.
