The original Star Ocean is back, once again! Star Ocean, (formerly) Enix?s sci-fi action RPG series, never made it to North America in its original 1996 Super Famicom form. But roughly ten years later, the first game would appear on the PSP as Star Ocean: First Departure. This year, Square Enix is bringing that version to modern platforms as Star Ocean First Departure R. While this port is largely based on the PSP version, which had new art from Production I.G., Square Enix brought on freelance artist Katsumi Enami to provide new character design work.
Enami, who has made his name doing art for series like Baccano! eventually landed a gig with Square Enix for Star Ocean: The Last Hope. As part of the series? DNA, Enami also contributed illustrations for mobile game Star Ocean Anamnesis. A fan of the series himself, Enami has found himself in the position of not only putting hands on the original game but also on character designs he didn?t create.
