Square Enix has been making good on its promise to comb the company's back catalog for titles deserving of a remake, and this week continued that trend with the release of Star Ocean: The Second Story R. A remake of the beloved PS1 RPG from developer TriAce and publisher Enix, Star Ocean: The Second Story R strikes a perfect balance between innovation and nostalgia for fans of the original while adding in modern quality of life features to help endear the title to a new audience. If Square Enix is going to continue parsing through its library for more classic titles to remake, Second Story R also provides the perfect template for the next game the company should tackle: 1998's Xenogears.
