The Second Story, but first in our hearts!

On this week’s episode of Retro Encounter, we got marooned on an underdeveloped planet called Expel and discussed Tri-Ace’s western debut title Star Ocean: The Second Story. We compared the finer points of the PSX original with Second Evolution and Second Story R, which characters make the best party members, and how best to break the game using the special skill system!

Featuring: Ben Love, Audra Bowling, Matt Wardell, Rob White, Steph Sybydlo; Edited by Zach Wilkerson
