Star Ocean: The Second Story

Star Ocean: The Second Story is a tri-Ace developed action RPG published in PAL territories by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, marking the franchise’s first release outside Japan and following Claude Kenny’s stranding on a low technology planet through an extensive science fantasy narrative. This is the English language original release, dated 12th April 2000, on a single disc under serial SCES-02159 with English language support. Country grouping, case type, hologram type, and EAN barcode are all currently undocumented for this variant. The English language SKU is the most commonly encountered PAL pressing of the title in collector circles and serves as the natural starting point for non Japanese reading enthusiasts exploring the wider Star Ocean series. Confirmed clean copies of the original PAL release command strong secondary market prices given the title’s limited European print run and enduring cult status among late nineties JRPG collectors.
