""Unlike Legend of Legaia, where the allure of an intriguing combat system eventually gives way to the problems found in the remaining parts of the game, Star Ocean: The Second Story’s combat comes through virtually unscathed. In fact, the only real problem – which is somewhat of a running theme for tri-ace games – are that the various game-breaking and game saving tricks aren’t self-explanatory.""

"This game is just something else. Yet another one I have personally never finished (got close though but then had to give it back to the guy I borrowed it from) this one has 2 different main characters and depending on which one you choose, you will have different events AND recruitable party members available! It also is a fairly long game (I hit 80 hours in one playthrough and was still not done at the time."
