It's essentially a remake of the 1999 Playstation 1 game and updated to include new elements for it. Played the OG and the PSP version. The EN voices are from the PSP version.

One of my favorite RPGs, ever. I still have the original PS1 game including case and everything.

If you enjoyed the original, or the PSP remake, this feels like a more complete vision. This has:
  • Added QOL improvements for skills and abilities (combat no longer stops for spells; no cooldown for spells)
  • Fast travel has been added
  • Most PAs have voiceovers
  • Added additional overworld discoveries (items and "bosses")
  • All maps were reworked for exploration in 3D
  • Shows presence of PA/interaction on fast travel menu
  • Transparency on which PAs are timed (shows on fast travel menu)
  • Quick change in and out of PA mode in towns
  • Huge translation and naming fixes
  • New character artwork (you can switch to the PSX or PSP version as well)
  • Visible encounters
Just to name a few that I feel make the game more enjoyable overall.

I'm just now playing The Divine Force on PS Plus, and I'm finding it quite enjoyable. I know I vaguely remember playing a Star Ocean game back in the day, and I'm wondering if it was Second Story. Does your character say something when he levels up in this one?

I downloaded the demo and I just can't get into it. Looks like characters barely above Pong in graphics. Just overall odd to me.
That's intentional and it looks awesome.

look up FF5/6 complaints when they remade the character sprites(online polls were 90% in favor of the original sprites), square tried to avoid that backlash(they delisted FF5/6 from even being bought, backlash was that bad). konami are also remaking suikoden and leaving the character sprites untouched from the original

This game has 97% positive on Steam right now with 900+ reviews. It's an amazing remake. Runs at 164 fps @ 4k on my setup and it's just smooth as hell. The pixel characters are a bit jarring compared to the backgrounds but it's an intentional design choice. If the Dragon Quest 3 remake ends up looking like this I'll be extremely satisfied.

Geeze really? Pong? A bit of a hyperbole don't you think?
