Til the end of time is outstanding for its time. Great story. You can skip the others and jump right in without playing in order and it doesn't ruin the story

I started the series with Till the End of Time and had a blast!

Only downside I'd say is maybe the very noticeable early 2000s era voice acting and quality doesn't hold up quite as well. Honestly though if you go in expecting it then it's not a big deal.

I bought The Last Hope on release day, I might even pick up the 4K remaster given it's on sale. With that said, anyone that hasn't played Last Hope you likely want any other game here instead.

Till the End of Time is outdated. No fast travel made the game so much longer than necessary

Nice sale. Strange that second story r isn't on sale. Even just a 20% off might have gotten them some sales.

So: If you're a fan of the SNES "Golden Era" of JRPGs, First Departure R is an absolute no-brainer. Fun combat, likeable characters, EXCELLENT story (one of the most successful examples of melding fantasy + scifi I've ever seen) and a ton of replayability, since there are tons of party compositions and different endings. I was blown away by how good it was!

Then... my husband and I played Last Hope, because it was on sale.

I had to laugh at the comment above, because it's a super polite way to say that Last Hope wasn't that good. I'll go farther and say it stinks. Never have I gone from such a high (loving First Departure/SO1) in a series to such a low (SO4 was so bad. The story was bad, the voice acting direction was bad... so many cringey anime tropes stuffed into it... just ugh).

Can't wait to play Second Story R, since I've heard it's in the same vein of First Departure. Too bad it's not on sale here! But again -- can't recommend First Departure R enough!

second story is the most popular one, its probably selling really well without a sale

Are they close to a true jailbreak or are you just staying on low firmware? I always update mine and usually just try to get games on sale. So I don't really check the status too often.
