It's not a remake, it is just a port with extra ****y artwork and anime cutscenes in the aforementioned extra ****y art style.

well its a revamp any was, certainly not a complete psx->psp port, if they wanted to do that theyd just need to run the game through the psp's psx emulator.
you dont really have to be so hateful toward the game.. i get your opinion - you dont like the artwork, and i respect that, i think its an improvement, what with voiced speech now instead of screens of words, and the animation during talks gives the game extra character. again looking forward to this game, great story, and it will be good to have a proper enlish translation unlike last time.. lol

That is perfectly fine, it does give the game more character. However, I found the character's profile art in the psx game to be a higher quality than what they are using for this version. I was expecting a less simplified style for the animated scenes, then what they are using.

I agree that they'll definitely do a better translation this time around. But I can't be so optimistic about the voice acting as you are, I know Star Ocean's track record with that aspect. The gameplay will be as astounding as it was nearly a decade ago. The I always like the musical score of the games, including SO3(which I despised in almost every other aspect).

oh, and claude is crawd...? hopefully thats just in the japanese version.. he better be claude again in the english
