Left or Right?
BeHIND me?!
>18 year old
>looks like a 12 year old
is this the japanese way for a game maker to request hentai doujins be made of a character?
Right
>knife eared fucking shit
Pick left and kill right.
left doesn't even tell me his playstyle
>>343885650
She also wets the bed. Rena is worst waifu
>>343885465
Right gets you another physical character, so...
>>343885684
Its a JRPG, do you expect the hero to use anything else but a sword?
>>343885708
well now I wanna pick right, thats my fetish.
HERE COMES MISTER ENEMY
>>343885465
Left, I could care less for PEAR ONTO PEACHES
>>343885708
that's fucking sexy
>>343885465
The dialog in this game (the original release) is so sterile and the story almost writes itself with all the anime cliches used
CRAWD HAS ADVANCED FORWARD
>>343885590
>looks like a 12 year old
Instant boners everytime
>>343885730
Seriously. Star Ocean 2 was about sacrificing personal choices for whatever worked twenty hours from that point. That or learning the hard way, like I did.
>>343885465
Claude every damn time. But not because of any reason except that his path has Leon.

Being Ashton is suffering.
トラクタービーム!!
>>343885465
Neither. Play the Playstation version, you fool!
Then chose 90's Claude.
Who generally has the best recruits in their respective paths?
>>343886785
Its down to whether or not you want an extra mage or an extra swordsman.
Odds Claude
Evens Rena
>>343886785
Depends if you want an extra fighter (Dias - Rena only) or mage (Leon - Claude only). Both suck, though.
>>343885465
Claude gets extra story scenes, I'd go with him.
Also, goddamn those remake portraits are awful. The original art was way better and Rena didn't look like a ten year old.
>>343885465
right because i'm not a faggy
>>343887357
>not a fag
>plays as a little girl
Left has a gun for like 12 minutes
>POISON PILL
The AI for Bowman was nuts
Left or Right?
>>343888120
Right
>>343887665
Pillspam is the best strat and totally makes up for his garbage attack range and all of his other specials being completely worthless, though. POISON PILLS POISON PILLS SECRET SECRET POISON PILLS SECRET SECRET SECRET medicine.
>>343886278
Fun fact : Ashton has the worst luck. Literally. He has the lowest luck stat out of every character.
>>343886278
>Will you take responsibility for making me damaged goods?
What did he mean by this?
>playing with woman/healer
I'm not gay
>>343885465
Neither, switch to ps1.
>>343885590
Here's her old look
>>343886143
You don't need Dias. Any 3 physical attackers + rena is completely fine
>>343889278
>mfw Claude, Bowman, Opera and chisato
Does Star Ocean 2 get better? I'm to the part where I can go back and fight some dragon in the mines.
Some of this writing makes me want to throw my PSP out the window, holy fuck.
>>343890196
100000 VOLTS
FLAME THROWER
She is the quickest waifu in the game, legs for days
>>343885465
> special ability to heal others
Yea, i know what ability that is
>>343888120
> mana egg
This is a pretty nice plot for an hentai if you ask me. All the boys in school want to impregnate her because of her mana egg
>>343890354
Play the ps1 version. PSP version got a retranslation and new voice acting in order to try and be good but the voice acting is just stale and the new script somehow lost charm the original had. The old voice acting is bad but it's only in 2 fmv scenes and combat, instead of literally everywhere. It's also hilarious
>>343890623
And I'm sold.
I always chose Rena so I could recruit this fucker
>>343891234
How does she recruit him, exactly?
>>343891234
HAWK SCREAM BLAST
ILLUSION
Goddamn this guy is a baller.
>>343885465
who is this imposter
>>343891581
Just part of the storyline. I think they were childhood friends.
But some characters are only recruitable depending on if you pick Claude or Rena. If you chose Rena, you don't get the shota catboy.
>>343891581
Rides him like a champ and he tags along just to get more.
>>343889167
Fucking SE.
There was nothing wrong with SO2 original artstyle. Why the fuck did they waste money hiring some retarded artist for the PSP port?
>angsty faggot
>cute elf girl that's also a free spirit
how is this a competition?
Rena, everytime.
I don't even like her that much, I just prefer her story to Claude's.
Precis is the true best girl. She might actually be my first video game crush.
>>343892092
>Why the fuck did they waste money hiring some retarded artist for the PSP port?
Because the 90's had been over for a decade and general style changed.
>not picking Claude and making a harem party of cute underage-looking anime cocksluts
>>343892460
Like a less hideous version of western cartoons becoming all blobby and noodle armed.
Wonder how this became a worldwide trend?
>>343892661
digital animation + cheaper
>>343885465
Doesn't really matter.
Just make sure you recruit Ashton and Bowman. Those are the true main characters of the game.
>>343892460
Really fucked up with Rena though.The hairpin is a key part of her incredibly dumb backstory, so it makes sense for it to be huge and eyecatching.Not to mention that the new style sacrifices clothing detail and somehow manages to have faces that aren't any more attractive than the weird-looking and oddly-shaded old portraits.
>>343885465
What game?
>>343893192
Rena's new face is really attractive
>>343893436
There's literally full fucking names to google right in that image, you fag.
>>343893623
What game?
The whole point of the new portraits was so they could have facial expressions and anime cutscenes
>>343891234
I think he is the worst affected by the new style, he looks lame as fuck in the new one with the plainest looking face imaginable
>>343892739
>cheaper
This is the key word here. I don't know anything about Star Ocean but the character portraits in OP look like shit. It's not even ~2010 anime style, it looks like fucking fanart and makes the whole thing look like an indie game.
>>343892248
my homie..
Star ocean 2 best ocean. Well 3 is a close second
>>343892219
>retarded generic "free spirit elf"
Yeah you're right.
>>343893658
Pretty much this
>>343893658
Well, obviously. But the argument is also "why did they change the style so much?" There's no particular reason the new expressions and anime cutscenes couldn't use the older style.
Except that, of course, the modern style is what was selling.
>>343888120
Raze gets the waifus, Ulrika is the waifu.
It's a situation where you're supposed to do two playthroughs to see everything though.
