Ok, just read that there's no save transfer either. So, if I somehow decide to pick up the S2 version when it's on sale or whatever I have to start from nothing? This is a massive JRPG, sure there's no NG+ but you can go back to the earlier...
since there on the remake kick how about Kid Icruas 3DS remake. also wishful thinking star tropics 1+2 with updated control's from 2 into star tropics 1 and heck throw in star tropics 3.
