[GameSpot] - Preorder Star Ocean: The Second Story R At A Big Discount

[343iBot]

Back in 1998, one of the best RPGs of the year was sadly overshadowed by the arrival of newer and more 3D entries in the series. Almost two decades later, Star Ocean: Second Story R is back with a refreshed lease on cosmic life. It includes a number of big upgrades to its core systems along with a gorgeous visual overhaul. If you're looking forward to the remake of this classic RPG, Star Ocean: Second Story R preorders are live ahead of its November 2 release, and you can save big on your preorder for PC.

Currently, Green Man Gaming is offering the game on PC (Steam key) for just $40 if you have a free GMG XP account. Retail price is $50, so this is a very good preorder deal. Without a GMG XP account, you can get the game for $42 with promo code JUN16.

If you're a big Star Ocean fan, you may want to check out the Square Enix Store for a physical edition on consoles. Standard edition physical preorders are still available. The Collector's Edition sold out quickly, though. The $200 version of the game comes with a four-disc soundtrack, artbook, and a 24-piece box set of mini acrylic stands, featuring pixel art of main characters from the game including the thirteen party members and the Ten Wise Men.
