Item Description
Claude C. Kenny should have been the most capable person on any planet he visited. A young Federation officer and the son of Admiral Ronyx J. Kenny, he touches a strange device on a survey mission and wakes up on Expel, an underdeveloped world where a girl named Rena Lanford takes one look at his energy weapon and decides he must be the legendary Warrior of Light. That misunderstanding sets off tri-Ace's 1998 RPG, the first Star Ocean released outside Japan and the game that put the series on the map.
Star Ocean blends science fiction and fantasy with an easy confidence. A meteorite called the Sorcery Globe has crashed into Expel and monsters are spreading across the continent, and the mystery eventually reaches far beyond one small planet. At the very start you choose whether to follow Claude or Rena, and that choice changes scenes, recruitable companions and how the story is framed, so the two campaigns feel noticeably different.
Battles happen in real time. You control one character directly, charging into enemies and unleashing special arts while the rest of the party follows the tactics you set, which makes fights fast and physical in a way most turn-based RPGs of the era were not. Around that sits a sprawling skill system that lets the party cook, compound, forge, write and even compose music to create items, plus Private Actions: split the party in a town and you trigger small character scenes that shift relationships and help determine which of the game's many endings you see. The cast is one of the genre's most memorable, from the inventor Precis to Ashton, a swordsman stuck with two bickering dragons on his back, all scored by Motoi Sakuraba.
The Second Story was later rebuilt as Second Evolution on PSP and remade as The Second Story R, but the two-disc PlayStation original is the version that won the series its Western audience, and it still rewards the kind of exploration and experimentation that later entries built on.
