Star Ocean 1 & 2 Remake/Port for PSP AND future SO4

[Fayttt]

I'd say go through the Wandering Dungeon, then do Universe Mode, and then do Chaos mode, uni/chaos swapping characters that you mainly played as.
I dunno, it seems like the best strategy, but after that I have no clue.
Wandering Dungeon will net you a bunch too.

I'm trying to think of stuff to do without switching disks >_> xbox toooo far away

I got like 80.6% of the chests, wonder if I should try for them or just not bother

edit: woo 46 on ranks XD

Hey now, you pushed me back to 52, just after having signed up there. =(

Fayttt, have you done the Colosseum yet? I'm wondering what level you need to be to take out the top stop? I know one of Edge's trophies is to beat #1 guy in less than 5 minutes. Working my way up now...

Is there an OST out yet for SO4?

Spoiler: show

So I'm at the place of creation area 4 and the only option is for me to move into area7 >.> but I can't do anything here, there's these steps that dissappear when I walk on them but can't seem to go anywhere else. Anyone know?

Just beat Team Colosseum....barely. My team consisted of Edge, Reimi, Myuria and Arumat at level 130-140, Edge got rocked twice then Arumat died, using up all my fresh sages. Then he killed Sarah (level 49) before I could get her to raise anyone. I was quickly left with just my level 84 Meracle. I found out if you just run around the circle, eventually he'll lost interest and just hang in the middle. That gave me the chance to charge up rush mode and do a chain. Lather, rinse, repeat for 20 minutes. Each chain was about 150k and I lost count how many times I did it. You get a nice item for beating him though, Team Championship Medal. Nullifies MP damage 15% of the time, Adds one hit chance per attack, MP cast -5% in battle, Nullifies light symbols 20% of the time.

/back to finish 7 Stars

There are 3 exits in area 4. You come in from the south exit to area 3. The north exit is area 6, which is a dead end area with chests. There is an exit just south of the exit to area 6 that is the exit to the east side of area 7. In that area 7 is an exit to area 8 which you need to get something before going back to area 4. and then lastly, there is another exit to area 7 in the east section of area 4. Which you ride another pendulum, but you need that item from area 8. Kind of confusing, I know.

I haven't done all of it...I'm #1 on Reimi solo though since about level 120ish, I was like on floor 4 or 5 of 7 stars and got kinda bored. I haven't really started team battles yet, haven't seen a need since there aren't any achievements but I'll prolly do it soon enough for Edge's BT.

Need to get Serpent staff off the statue, then break the chain holding the pendulum on the other side with it, then you can use stairs

Comes out on the 18th I think.

[sephir]

what do I do in the black and white rooms in Nox Obscurus? I pressed something in the first one and got everything to return to normal, but now im in a black and white room with a ! by a cliff, and two stair cases that turn to dust if I try to run up them.

[Julian]

first get the serpents staff in the room before that one.

the one that had that golden(iirc?) beast in the middle, and a statue and a bunch of mirrors to the north. check the statue, then the mirrors, then the statue again.

Then, go to the black/white room, go to the other side, and there is an exit to a meteorite area. Keep walking on the edges to open up doors, eventually one of them will take you to a zone line (careful not to take the one that takes you to the area you've already been to) to the black/white room, take a step, and the serpents staff will automatically activate

So apparently i haven't had as much time to play as i hope lol. Just pasted the first area the second disk. Slow i know. And i went though and started to get all the recipes for the current chars i had. And lol holy shit at the 2,000+ attack sword i probably wont be making any time soon. And has any one seen the ???????? recipes that show up. I think ones a sword and there's an armor one it shows how to make it. But the stats are all ???? out.

edit: wow and here i am just screwin around can't rember when i saved last and the damn thing freezes are u kiddin me

[Fayttt]

the ???s are the ultimate craftable items. they'll trump anything else basically
fuck philosopher's stones k

[MisterBob]

Just dupe them using Arumat...Magical clay, while annoying to come by (the best place to get it is the insect warren, which is on disc 2, ugh) is way easier to get than the stones themselves.

I just get clay from the sanctuary, guaranteed 3 clay and you port straight down there. Just have to go board Calnus again to reset the points, but you can do it pretty quickly. I imagine it should be faster than mining out the insect place. EN II Sanctuary and Calnus are both on Disc 3 also so that makes it more convienent.

[Zeb]

Once you get down do about levels 13-14 in the wandering dungeons, Damascus Forts seem to drop them often enough. It's worth it to spend a little bit of time getting a few instead of mining up 11 clays. Pain in the ass getting down that far though.

/Hate Geostone floors

[Fayttt]

I've been to Eth. queen 4 times now so I know I can get there, but I just have horrible luck lol. 2 hours spent farming clay all over Aeos / En II to get three, and on my last time to Eth. queen I literally fought every single mob I saw from floor 11-20 and I didn't see a single Damascus Fort. I got two stones from Grim Reapers but still..

[Zeb]

I fought one group in an assassination group on the 11th floor. I didn't see any more until I hit floor 13 or 14. They were pretty common then. Not as common as those damned ghostkeepers though. Think I'm almost 100% on those.

So what's everyone's favorite/hated bosses? I liked the team battle in the colosseum. He rapes like Gabriel can but you have a bit more room to work with. I HATED the fights with Armored Manifest. I was a bit worried when I ran into it in the wandering dungeon. I had already spent a good 4 hours getting down there and had just gotten my first visit to the Santa shop. It's damn lackeys can wipe out your guys fast.

Are any of you focusing on getting BTs? I'm planning on starting a 2nd game on the next difficulty and I know BTs carry over, but if I earn a BT on the 2nd game, does it unlock on the 1st too or does it only unlock on the 1st game once I beat the game on that save?
