Star Ocean: The Second Story

Description

Claude Kenni is a young man who recently joined the Earth Federation, following the steps of his father. A strange energy has been spotted somewhere on a distant planet, and Claude and his father go there to investigate the matter. However, Claude gets sucked into a portal and ends up on a mysterious planet, in the middle of jungle. He sees a young girl threatened by a ferocious beast...

This young girl is Rena Lanford, an inhabitant of the planet - you can also start playing the game from her perspective. She likes going to the Shingo Forest to take a break from the world. But now she went a bit too far, and danger is ahead... but the two heroes finally meet and together continue the investigation.

"Star Ocean: The Second Story" is a RPG that contains some original gameplay elements. You can learn various skills during the game, and become an expert alchemist, blacksmith, scientist, etc. You will be able to produce your own items (like for example making armor from iron ore if you have the appropriate skill).
