The existence of a Star Ocean: The Second Story remake, called Star Ocean: The Second Story R, has been leaked, not by a data miner or a leak-happy insider but instead by Square Enix's own Support Centre website.

Originally released on PS1 in Japan in 1998, Star Ocean: The Second Story came to the West the following year. An enhanced remaster of the game was released in 2009 (2010 in the West) called Star Ocean: Second Evolution on PSP. This version came to Vita and PS4 in Japan but has not yet made the jump across the pond.
The first game in the series, Star Ocean: First Departure received a similar treatment in the form of Star Ocean: First Departure R, coming to PS4 in 2019, so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised. Are you a fan of the franchise? Are you excited to see the sequel get the remake treatment? Slip your moors and cast off into the endless ocean that is the comments section below.
