Star Ocean The Second Story All Characters Killer Moves / Attacks & Spells Exhibition 

I swear to God I'm in this comment. 23 years ago is when I played it and I did the exact same thing. Rena, Ashton, Claude, Diaz. Best party hands down!

Not really IMHO that party sucks IMHO Claude OPERA Dias and Chisato/Bowman is the best party bloody armor all 4 of them lv 100 and with Healing Star at 999 uses you will NEVER die Else against Limiter OFF final boss even at lv 255 on earth mode I didn't even last for 10 seconds without using 4x bloody armor users against him. At lv 255 on Earth mode without bloody armor users I didn't even last for 10 seconds against Iselia Queen either which is why Ashton SUCKS and Rena is NOT worth using once Opera is IN the party.

Now he can leave Expel and see his dad!

Nah, it's more around... 50 points. (Having the images of the characters blocked a lot of the attacks.)

I'm from the future. That's what Tri Ace says about Star Ocean 6

GamingSage same :)

Ok

This game has a lot of charm.

Jan Harvey Sevilla you are welcome :)

Asellus Hysteria You had really good production value with it, making even an old game look good!

LAME LAUCHER!

Christopher Cabjuan there was never a way to get all the playable characters in one run right?

I use to have two different save files, one with one set of characters and another with the other set. I really wanted to try everyone XD

Christopher Cabjuan lol I only had one save file and went in blind so I'm pretty sure I've never even encountered some of these characters. lol I was like, "who the fuck is Chisato??"

Haha right!? I had to find a good place in the game early on to have a second save to get all the other side characters. Once the planet is gone you lose your chance:/

@@ApolloSol Chisato is a great character, as you can probably tell from this video. Almost all her Killer Moves are fast multi-hitters, and she is a generally cool woman.

From my opinion, he have the best skill animation, and cool badass looking with two snake on his back

@@jowyschwarz313 correction, he had two dragons 🐉 on his back, not snakes 🐍 One of his killer moves is called dragons breath.

@@alchemygal3285 yeah thank you for remind me that

LEAF SLASH

I love his dual sword wielding style.

@one one The world turns out to be a simulation. The universe Star Ocean takes place in is a simulation of these 4th dimensional beings (who are just regular humans, I think, but from the perspective of a person from a simulation, I guess they'd seem like they come from a higher dimension) called Eternal Sphere, which is kinda like a video game or something.

@one one They do exist. They're just really complex AI, at least from the perspective of the 4D people. Basically, to the Star Ocean characters, the 4D people are like gods.

You could always pretend it's not canon. Sounds like a silly shark jump anyway

I am worried that likely won't happen. If you look at the spells in the trailer they no longer pause combat. I think that's a great change for the pacing of battles but then how do we get the cinematics of Sothern Cross and Meteor Swarm? *cries in PS1*

​@@turner_classic well I have some good news for you can choose in the settings to skip the cinematics or not

...Isn't that how the game ends with Nedians basically being wiped out? ...Meh. It's all a simulation anyway.

Leon Tekashi man I was about to say the same thing I maxed out just about every move for every character when I was a kid

I didn't even know Proficiency was a thing until I saw Shooting Stars look different after spamming it for so long(srsly Shooting stars is fun to use for me)

I don't want to be "that" guy but there's no way y'all beat him that quick, not with the whole animation with Philia (his daughter and limiter) into play unless you were crazily overlevelled 😂.

@@RubenMakaya I was "that guy" who had Lv255 with most of the stuff out of the optional dungeon, with the exception of the Trumpet Boss, so ya. I _was_ crazily overlevelled.

@@Dhalin Hahaha that's definitely impressive dude, did you ever get a shot at beating Indalecio without his limiter?

@@RubenMakaya Nah, I never bothered. My cousin did once or twice.

All hail Opera Vectra

Jura Vendon and PSP

I really don't like the character design on PSP. It looks so much childish. Rena is 17, and in this version, she looks like a 13 years old girl maximum.

Billy bill that's anime logic for you. A lot of animu girls look younger than they're supposed to.

Yeah, I know that fully well. But in this case, there is a little more than that. they ditched the ancient design for something with less quality, if you compare both, it's easy to see it. A lot of details is lost.

No sir that would be breath of fire 3, xenogears, and castlevania symphony of the night

And unfortunately they took away proficiency from the remake 😕 I also love Rena screaming Tractor Beam. The way she said it always made me laugh as a kid.

Yep! Poison Pills is way too spammable haha. Can easily stunlock enemies, and it hits so many times that the dps is actually insane. Only struggles vs air, but other than that, it's probably the best single move in the game. I still prefer Chaos Sword, though~

The original actors for Celine, Dias, and Ashton were excellent, and absolutely nailed their personalities. The rest were kind of terrible; inoffensive and unintentionally funny at best and unbearable at worst, so their PSP counterparts were mostly massive improvements. Except for Celine and Ashton, funnily enough, whom I found really disappointing in the PSP version. The guy they got for Dias sounded virtually identical though, albeit a little more expressive.

I like Ernest's original voice, also. He had some funny lines in the Playstation version haha, I used to sit in the voice collection for a long time and try to combine different voice lines into funny phrases. Most memorable one was combining Dias' lines, getting him to say, "I'll get rid of them, in 10 seconds."

Same, i could not continue since the last CD became unreadable to my PS.

Emulator? AYN Odin or Steam Deck? You can still play n finish wit no need for a disc,,,,

That attack is awesome for a long time; however, I feel like Eternal Sphere is even more effective against single enemies.

Maxed Mirror Slice and Dragon Howl were all you need, not even Indalecio could stop Claude 😂

Chisato vc precisa estar jogando a história do Claude. vc pega ela no segundo CD.

LEON SUCKS all mages do and once Healing Star Opera has 999 uses Rena is completely USELESS.

proficient hurricane slash was so good threw them into the air and stopped them from attacking for a few seconds. i never used anyone but rena claude dias and ashton

Precis Ashton Celine Noel Leon all SUCK and are NEVER in my party Welch 2nd Evolution only is pure CRAP.

Ashton has a better story and is cooler. Mechanically Oprah is slightly better in battle but her character and story is very dry. Ashton is the second best swordsman and if used right can be better than oprah. But it’s situational and requires you to use him. For most fun play through don’t recruit Oprah, Bowman, Ernest, or Leon. Those characters are just too dry... and Leon and Welch are super childish and annoying. I go with Ashton, probably the most original and coolest character in this game. No other hero in any other rpg is like him. Two dragons on his back? Dual swords fighter? And a magic caster? Very cool.

@@alchemygal3285 even though it's late,.but thank you for the insight, yep i chose ashton, and he's one of my mains hehe

It maybe be late but choose opera. Thank me later. After you fight those Wicked wizard enemy that can transform to immune physical.

@@beliapadishopee292 yea, she’s the best character in the game mechanically. If ppl want the best mechanical team don’t recruit précis, Ashton, Ernest, Leon, and Celine. But seriously, operas story and bowmans story and characters just aren’t as interesting as Ashton and précis. And Celine is the coolest mage in the first two star oceans. But seriously, they need to do a remake that allows you to choose any group of characters. Cus to be able to recruit both Ashton and opera would be freaking awesome. Cus Ashton is the best recruitable swordsman. Claude, Ashton, and Opera on the same team would be so fun.

Cress similar. It's Phoenix Blast int the PSP version and Fire Bird Shockwave in the PS1 version. This series takes a lot of inspiration from the Tales games. Roddick from Star Ocean 1 for SNES has the same look as Cress in the SNES version of Tales Of Phantasia

Those Snowmen monsters? They're located outside of Giveaway, the town in Nede where you play Hide and Seek with Precis. they drop a ton of EXP and Fol, and even hace a chance of dropping a Rainbow Diamond. I used to farm the hell out them to catch both Chisato and Noel up to the rest of my party

This is Ps1 version, welch is added in PSP

SpanishFly120 lol i air slashed my way to the bonus dungeon with dias

if you got ashton you cant get does two, i think you meet opera in a bar in a town after you back track after the tournament, and by having opera in your team just follow the story and you will get ernest. again just like with Precis and Bowman you have to choose between Ashton and Opera and even Ashton is missable

TotoyDestiny ernest is trash hahah. Opera is worth it though :P

@@Shadow1589 Broken Heart/Bed of Roses is the most broken attack in the entire game when it's fully levelled. With him spamming that while Claude uses Ripper Blast and Bowman spamming Inferno Pellet/Explosion Pill, along with Opera supporting with Healing Star and Tracking Plasma/Alpha on One, they're basically unstoppable. I've had some very tough runs of the CoT in the past, but when I used those four I tore through it in an afternoon. The real worst character is Precis; her moves don't get enough hits, her hitboxes are really strange, her weapons all kind of suck, and her best attacks are locked behind you recruiting Ashton, who in turn stops you getting Opera and Ernest. Nobody notices this because everybody recruits Bowman anyway - taking Precis basically means skipping three entire better characters and listening to that damn helium chipmunk voice :P

you need to do a private action in cross (city) very, very early in the game to unlock the chain of events that leads to recruiting them. you also can't recruit ashton.

The PSX version had far too much of it, but I agree that they overshot the toning it down.

Dale S Bowman drains his MP up too quickly

Arms too short

I'd much prefer this then to SO3's "You're all video game characters" twist. that seriously betrayed the entire Star Ocean Lore

Nah hard disagree, i take this game's story over all the others any day.

That's because he's not meant to be played like Claude and Ashton where you just "Press A to win." His Killer moves are his bread and butter, not his normal attack
