Game Information:

Star Ocean (スターオーシャン Sutā Ōshan?) is a Japanese action role-playing video game and the first game in the Star Ocean series. It was the first game developed by the newly formed tri-Ace company for the Super Famicom video game console, consisting of staff that had previously left Wolf Team due to being unhappy with the development process for Tales of Phantasia with Namco in 1995. The game was ahead of its time in many respects. It required a special compression chip in its cartridge to compress and store all of the game's data due to possessing graphics that pushed the limits of the aging Super Nintendo system. Additionally, the game had voice acting for the game's intro and voice clips that played during the game's battle gameplay, a rarity for games on the system. The game was published and released by Enix in 1996 in Japan, but was never released outside of Japan in this form, due to Enix closing its American branch shortly before the game was finished, and Nintendo's focus on supporting the then-upcoming Nintendo 64 video game console. However, the game was later remade for the PlayStation Portable under the title Star Ocean: First Departure, and finally released in English-speaking regions, twelve years later, in United States on October 21, 2008, and in Europe on October 24, 2008.
