First Departure itself was a remake of the original Star Ocean, although it wasn't revealed what extra features will be included (aside from a high-definition upgrade) to warrant the 'R' subtitle.
It was announced that First Departure R would be receiving a worldwide release, which is good news considering the PS4 & Vita port of Star Ocean: Second Evolution stayed Japan-only despite the game already being translated into English for its original PS1 release.
