Star Ocean the Second Story R Gameplay
In the game, you can choose to play as either Claude or Rena. The story changes based on your choices. There are other characters you can play with, but you can only have six in your party at a time. Some choices in who you recruit will affect the availability of other characters. The game is like most RPGs. You go from place to place, following the main story and sometimes doing side tasks. Your characters get better by earning Experience Points from battles.
Battles happen in real-time, and you control your character directly instead of using menus. You can move your character around the battlefield freely. Other party members are controlled by the game’s AI, but you can change their strategies.
You can buy nine different skill sets in the game, and your characters learn them by using Skill Points. These skills can improve your stats, unlock special abilities, or give you advantages in battles.
Characters can also have “Specialty” skills like cooking or writing. Your whole party can work on “Super Specialty” skills together. These skills let you do things like cooking, blacksmithing, or writing books. Everything you make has a purpose, but it might not always work
