Star Ocean: The Second Story

Star Ocean: The Second Story is a tri-Ace developed action role playing game published in PAL territories by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, the first entry in the franchise to receive a Western release. This is the French language original release, dated 12th April 2000, on a single disc under serial SCES-02160 with French language support. Country grouping, case type, hologram type, and EAN barcode are all currently undocumented for this variant. The French language SKU is meaningfully scarcer than the English variant in collector circles, as French JRPG localisations of this period had lower print runs and a narrower retail distribution. Confirmed clean French original copies are a particularly valuable target for collectors building country specific late nineties JRPG sets, and the title’s enduring cult status keeps secondary market interest robust across all three PAL language variants.
