In a bold move that proves the enduring appeal of classic gaming, Square Enix has unveiled intriguing details regarding its anticipated release, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, specifically about the voice acting options in the game.
Square Enix clarified Star Ocean: The Second Story R will feature three unique voice acting choices: English voice acting from the PSP version, newly recorded Japanese voice acting from the original PlayStation 1 cast, and Japanese voice acting from the PSP version. This marks an innovative approach by the developer, offering players a novel layer of customization to immerse themselves in the narrative.
In an apparent move to increase the replayability of the game, players can switch between the voice-acting options at any point during gameplay. The freedom to choose and alter the voice acting in the game undoubtedly adds an extra layer of engagement for players, promising a personalized gaming experience.
This next chapter of Star Ocean has more in store than novel voice-acting capabilities. Star Ocean: The Second Story R is set to feature fully voiced event scenes by the original voice cast, and a new musical score arranged by Motoi Sakuraba, the original composer. The new soundtrack includes fresh songs, some featuring a live band, heightening the in-game atmosphere.
