Sigh. Maybe they'll bring it to PS2 or PSN. I'd pay $60 for this. Looks way too awesome with the new animated cutscenes. The best RPG I have ever played. It was hard and fun. So awesome.
I remember playing the PSX one a looooooooooong time ago, I dont remember much of the story line but I remember enjoying the battle mode. I also bought the one for ps2 when it came out, but I wasnt really feeling the game all that much and ended up not playing more than a few hours of it. I think I may try out the one for psp whenever it comes out (if it hasnt come out already), the game looks pretty sick.
Star Ocean 3 was a decent game, just took a while to get good. Unfortunatley never played SO2 :<, but playing through the original SNES Star Ocean (lol re-translate) on my SNES Emulator.
Star Ocean The Second Story was a pwn game! I think I still have it, I need to dig it up and go through it again. My fav was the dude that was possessed by the twin dragons. :>
