brb playing star ocean: second evolution because my boyfriend is dead to the world
1) Westa is actually really pretty in the cutscene face
2) Celine actually has a prissy voice now, as suits someone of her stature.
3) Sadly, some of her spell voices makes her sound like Leon from the original Star Ocean: The Second Story
4) Battle plays decidedly Manual. Not like that's a bad thing, but I sort of miss Semi-Manual play.
5) Place names changed because it looks like it was romanized diferently from the original katakana causes some confusion. Cross is now Krosse, Herlie is now Herley, Mars is now Marze, Clik is now Kurik wtf.
6) Skill names have been changed around though what they do is the same - Perseverance is now Determination, Radar is now Danger Radar, Playfulness is now Purity BUT some remain the same like Poker Face and Biology.
7) On that note, Heraldry has now changed to Symbology. What. I'm betting a few spell/Killer Move names have changed as well, as Rena's Press spell has turned into Crush and Claude's Shooting Stars has turned into Meteor Palm. Celine's Ray turned into... Laser Beams. That sounds less impressive. I have yet to find a Killer Move/spell name change I actually like. :p
8) Actually, Killer Move has now turned into "Special Art"
9) The medal indicating who is the leader is really useful though.
10) Status screen reminds me more of Valkyrie Profile - has half body shot in addition to a radar graph indicating elemental strengths and weaknesses.
11) Otherwise the game plays as I remember it, including the long beginning sequence.
