Why this petition matters

Started by Solace And Dread

This game and its predecessor have garnered a dedicated following over the years, and we believe it deserves to be enjoyed by a broader (and new) audience. We respectfully request that Star Ocean: Blue Sphere be officially remade and ported to Western audiences in the same vein as Star Ocean the Second Story R.

Star Ocean: Blue Sphere, originally released only in Japan and developed by tri-Ace, holds a special place in the hearts of fans who have had the opportunity to experience it. It is a unique entry in the Star Ocean franchise and is cherished for its compelling storyline and memorable characters.

Bringing Star Ocean: Blue Sphere to Western audiences would satisfy the existing fanbase and introduce a new generation of players to the next chapter for the lovable cast, especially considering the enthusiasm for Star Ocean the Second Story R.

Fellow fans of Star Ocean, please sign this petition for Square Enix to bring Star Ocean: Blue Sphere to modern consoles. 

In a recent interview, Star Ocean 2R director and producer Yuichiro Kitao stated that if players want a sequel to Star Ocean 2, they need to make their voices heard.

Azario Lopez: "Are there any plans to also bring Star Ocean Blue Sphere west? In this series, this game acted as a sequel to Star Ocean 2 but was never localized."

Yuichiro Kitao: "...what I want to tell the players is that if they enjoy the game and if they ever feel like they want to play a sequel, please make sure to tell Square Enix so that we can get the opportunity to develop one. Thank you."

To Square Enix:

We kindly request that you consider our petition and work with Gemdrops towards making Star Ocean: Blue Sphere accessible to gamers outside of Japan and on modern gaming platforms. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope to see this classic title made available to a broader audience in the near future.

Sincerely,

Solace and Dread, Hunter Harris, AndSpaceY, MadKaiser98, and the extended Star Ocean Community.
