I didn't mean that. I've never actually played it. Fabio just makes me feel kinda funny...female, I guess.


Tri Ace is notorious for early slow parts. The first 60-90 minutes of Star Ocean 2 is basically sitting through a slow, seemingly generic fantasy plot with a few simplistic battles tossed in. The game doesn't start to shine until you get a full party and start getting some of the cooler combat moves. The plot is slow until a few hours in where it suddenly shifts from first to fifth gear, then dips when you get sent on a "collect the 5 magic crystals" quest, then picks up again.

Protip: although it's very useful to start with, try not to rely on magic that much. The combat is infinately more fun once you ditch magic (except Rena for healing, and even that can be bypassed somewhat if you get everyone's skill up that increases herb healing power) and have a party of all fighters running around pulling off all their crazy special attacks.
