At last month's Tokyo Game Show, I got my hands on Square-Enix's Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP. I wanted nothing more than to show you how wonderful the game looked, but Squeenix had me on camera lock down, and they only supplied me with a couple of craptastic screenshots. The day has been saved by both Gametrailers and Jeux-France, giving us both video and screenshots of the upcoming RPG.
The above trailer is little more than a Japanese teaser, but it does give you some idea of the quality of the cutscenes I talked about earlier. The low quality of the video does not do the real thing justice.

I'm actually unhappy with the new artwork style for the characters here, because they're using the same artist for SO2 as well, and they made Rena look like a 12 year old... D:
i clicked on the gametrailers link and there was a little commercial before the trailer and to be honest with you, i really want to play the jackass game.

That would be awesome. Especially with decapitations.
I enjoyed The Second Story, so I'm looking forward to picking this up. Sweet.
