There’s very little in terms of complexity in battles. Gameplay in Star Ocean First Departure R is probably where the game shows its age the most. The in-game anime cutscenes are crisp and visually pleasing and so too are the character portraits across all 3 selections available in-game. Thankfully, the in-game towns and locations are detailed and have a nostalgic coat of artistic paint that has kept them somewhat timeless. The game’s world map is a bit rough around the edges with the terrain looking incredibly empty and bland. Playing on Nintendo Switch, First Departure R runs buttery smooth with only some minor frame rate drops when entering into battles.
