Star Ocean The Second Story R Celebrates 3rd Anniversary With New Celine Artwork

Square Enix and Gemdrops have shared new artwork celebrating the third anniversary of Star Ocean The Second Story R,

This new artwork by Yukihiro Kajimoto depicts the party member Celine:

Star Ocean The Second Story R features fully voiced event scenes with the original voice cast, a newly arranged soundtrack by original composer Motoi Sakuraba with new songs, including some with a live band, as well as the new Break and Assault Action combat mechanics.

Players can anticipate two selectable protagonists, Claude and Rena, akin to Star Ocean The Divine Force. Claude is a Pangalactic Federation officer and the son of the legendary Ronyx Kenny, which causes him internal strife over his identity.

During a mission, Claude’s ego gets the better of him as he’s transported to an underdeveloped planet and spotted by Rena, confusing him for the Hero of Light.
