Star Ocean box art splits the world in two
The US box art for the upcoming PSP Star Ocean remakes are surprisingly void of anime characters. Instead, Square Enix USA has opted to go for something a bit more subtle: cracking the world in half. Like those friendship rings of yesteryear, buying both First Departure and Second Evolution and putting them together creates a whole image. As the Square Enix blog says, "How can you own one and not the other?"[Thanks. T.J. F.!]

Check the video out for yourselves and keep your fingers crossed for a Western release for both Star Ocean PSP remakes.
