Item Description
Before the adventure begins, Star Ocean: The Second Story asks a question that shapes everything that follows: Claude or Rena? Pick Claude C. Kenny, a young Earth Federation officer and son of the first game's hero, and you begin as a stranger stranded on the primitive planet Expel after a teleporter accident, mistaken by the villagers for a legendary Warrior of Light because of the strange weapon on his hip. Pick Rena Lanford, a kind-hearted girl with mysterious healing powers, and you see the same world through the eyes of someone who has always lived there. The two routes share a story but recruit different companions and reveal different scenes.
That premise blends science fiction and fantasy in a way few 1990s RPGs attempted. A meteor known as the Sorcery Globe has crashed into Expel, monsters are spreading, and the trail eventually leads to a group called the Ten Wise Men and stakes far larger than one planet. Developer tri-Ace fills the journey with a large cast of recruitable characters, and Private Actions, optional scenes triggered when the party splits up in town, quietly shift the relationships between them. Those relationships decide which of the game's dozens of character endings you see, which is why so many players have finished it more than once.
Battles happen in real time. You control one character directly, charging across a 3D battlefield with sword strikes and special techniques, while the AI follows the tactics you set for the rest of the party. Outside combat, a deep skill system lets you train specialties such as cooking, smithing and compounding, and Item Creation can turn ordinary materials into gear far beyond what the shops sell, which lets determined players break the game wide open. Motoi Sakuraba's energetic score drives it all.
This was the first Star Ocean released outside Japan, and it is the entry that built the series' international following. It was later remade as Second Evolution for the PSP and again as The Second Story R, but the 1999 PlayStation release is the original that RPG fans of the era remember, with its sprite-and-polygon look and its two-disc journey across Expel and beyond. If you love the late-'90s PlayStation RPG boom, this is a different flavor from the Final Fantasy mainstream and well worth the trip.
