SPOILER WARNING

Current Game: Star Ocean Second Story R |

After a lunch break cliffhanger, I finally wrapped up Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and in this episode, I'm unpacking how it felt to see it through to the end. From cosmic detours to character growth, I highlight Claude’s surprising journey from a hesitant space cadet to a decisive hero.

Was the ending worth the wait? Did the character arcs hit home? And why do games from this era still leave such a lasting impression?

Tune in for a quick recap, a little reflection, and the satisfaction of finally closing the book on this sci-fi JRPG classic.

SPOILER WARNING

Current Game: Star Ocean Second Story R |

I beat Star Ocean 2… kind of. Right in the middle of the final cutscene—during my lunch break, no less—I had to pause and head back to work. Nothing says “epic RPG finale” like clocking back in before the credits roll. In this episode, I share the oddly modern struggle of reaching the end of a grand adventure... only to hit pause and finish it later like leftovers. Ever had to wait hours to see how a story ends because life got in the way?
