Well, since First Departure has being released in Japan it's fair to say we should expect some information on this in the coming weeks, and months at the absolute latest.

http://au.gamespot.com/psp/rpg/staroceanthesecondevolution/images.html?sid=6179223&om_act=convert&om_clk=gsupdates&tag=updates;title;1

This is a link to an older source with a few images of the game, Rena looks rather childish doesn't she?

Similar to First Departure we can expect new content, possibly even new playable characters, new cut scenes, new designs and new voice actors (the one I look forward to the most!)

Post anything you expect/hope from the coming remake here!

Of course, as any new official information comes to hand I'll update it on the main site.

I love the graphics. Especially the anime-ness. Looking forward the the characters and cutscenes, and perhaps also the music.

Here is some more screenshots that were found via Famitsu a couple of weeks ago, dunno how I missed this originally!

Also, it seems Play-asia.com has got the release date...or are guessing. 3 April is what they have listed for the release date!

I'm disappointed in the art, but can't wait to play it nonetheless.
The art is just... I don't know. I don't really like it. It would have been a whole lot better if they got an artist who's art looked more like the original official art for The Second Story, or even Star Ocean Ex.

I can see what you mean about the art when it's put on top of the actual gameplay, but I think the opening looks pretty nifty.

Your title sounds a little strange...:p

I was half thinking of getting this even though I've had the original for years since its one of my favorite RPGs but I feel the same as FireboltDragon, the art style just doesn't agree with me. And I saw some trailer where they had all these cheesy lines + if their going to have voices all the time instead of just battles and on the intro then I don't want it for sure. The voices were so terrible in the second story that it was actually funny but I imagine any voice acting they add now will just be baaaad.

Surely they'd have a new voice cast though. With Square Enix's budget, they probably can afford some good voice acting.

Yeah, they have a new voice cast, I'm sure I read that before. :)

Boo. I don't see why every RPG has to have voices now. I can't think of a single RPG where it made these scenes better.
What I don't get though is why is it SO hard for them to voice RPGs properly? They manage it fine with other sorts of games..oh well.

I personally love the voice overs. It adds to the experience for me. I thought the voice actng for Final Fantasy X was pretty good. I'm a bad judge on voice acting though - I don't think I've ever thought any voice acting was bad be it on anime dubs (I seem to be the only one who can stand the English version of Naruto) or video games. But yeah, if they didn't have voice overs I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

First person I ever met who thought the voice acting on X was anything near good. I dunno if I should be scared or happy for you, haha. The Naruto dub is defiantly painful..
They should at least have it so you can turn off the voices. They did that for infinite undiscovery and it was well appreciated <3

Well, from what I've seen so far, the game is just as good as First Departure. The game really feels alive with the new designs, anime focus and overall feel.

Second Evolution wouldn't be the same without Leon... That's all I have to say about it.

Neh, that's just part of it. It's a really god game, with excellent characters, one in particular who puts 99% of all others to shame! I really enjoyed playing it, and actually, I'm replaying it on Universe Mode now. This should be interesting.

I know! I avoided most of his Chaos Swords! Before I knew it, three hits and I was dead. I alreayd encountered Leon in the castle, seems like he didn't care for me at all. I'm now in Linga and just met up with Precis. My party consists of Claude, Rena, Celine, Ashton, and Welch.

I had the ability to kill him, I really did. In fact, I was so confident the second time that he was going to die. But who knew, you can't hurt him!

The game tends to freeze, and the graphics will blur when you fly a Psynard in Energy Nede. It's just something that annoys me. I didn't think the game would have difficulties with the graphics like that. But it's just one little thing.

But I'm not sure if it's just my disc or all of them. Maybe I just scratched nine? But it ALWAYS happens. And I don't see it happening on YouTube videos...

Maybe you just have a bad disc? Anyway, I sure hope I don't get that...

It's not TOO troublesome, but when you need to fly your Psynard all over Energy Nede, it gets sort of annoying.

Oh, great, I guess I'll have to make sure my disc doesn't have any scratches. You know, the catridge games had the right idea...

It takes about three to five seconds before the game unfreezes from that position, so unless you don't want that to happen every time, be careful with it.
