Star Ocean: First Departure

First Departure is a PSP remake of Star Ocean, which was never released in the United States. It adds several new elements, such as all new backgrounds and a tweaked battle system, while retaining the original’s exciting storyline and themes. It’s Space Date 346, and defense-force members Roddick, Millie, and Dorn are on yet another dull patrol in a sleepy town on Roak when a mysterious plague turns people to stone. Fortunately, members of a Terran Alliance reconnaissance mission, Ronyx, and Ilia, beam down to the surface just in time. They explain that the plague is a biological weapon and transport the defense force to the space vessel to plan how to save Roak from this mysterious attack.
