Topic	I might finally try to beat Star Ocean: The Second Story [potential playthrough]
Mr Crispy 10/28/18 10:04:49 PM #4:	the psp version has a new translation, new voice acting, and new portraits which are displayed when characters talk. Though while the new translation say refers to the ~~Wise Men~~ by their actual angel names iirc instead of the "censored" ones in the psx versions, it tends to use wacky exotic spellings for more straightforward place names items etc. like other squenix localization efforts like Tactics Ogre. gameplay wise I don't think there's much difference besides there now being a three hit base attack combo, and welch from star ocean 3 as a playable character. probably doesn't crash as often too. as far as party members go it's like Ashton vs. Opera (and Ernest) Precis vs. Bowman Leon (Claude side) vs. Dias (Rena side) and you can only pick 8 out of 12 (13 with welch) characters. dias is probably better due to mages sucking due to long spell animations and lack of hits, others it's kind whichever one you prefer really. no one really likes ernest besides opportunities to pickpocket battle suits but I hear that you have to keep him if you follow opera's side quest long enough to get him or they'll both leave together or something. IDK. Ashton gets a special attack from the postgame dungeon but it's kind of a novelty and not too useful, and with opera and precis you have to use engineering to get certain killer moves but they're super obnoxiously rare to even get so I'd suggest don't bother with trying to get those kms really what you're thinking of is probably during the tournament, you side with the poor old blacksmith who wants you to show off his sword over the other weapons shops (there's a few events that kind of nudges you along that route unless you just pick the first shop you see). then go back after being eliminated by dias to get his sword, and keep it until the second half of the game where you can get the materials to modify it twice into one of the best weapons in the game (there's some in the postgame dungeon that are statistically better, but this one has kind of a splash damage effect that hits more times) --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.
