Best Party Setup in Star Ocean 2 Remake

In Star Ocean: The Second Story R, multiple in-game characters exist, but your party can only have four members. To win every battle, it is essential to create a better group.

Optimal character combinations in Star Ocean: The Second Story R

There are a total of thirteen recruitable characters in the remake. There are two starters—Claude and Rayna. And two characters depending on the route you choose. The Diaz tab is only accessible if Rena is your main character, while the Leon tab is only accessible if you choose Claude as your avatar.

How to Create an Awesome Party in Second Story R

At the time of the original release of the second story, most players recommended creating a group composition consisting of three melee fighters and Rena. This strategy still seems quite effective; With 30 million characters to fight, a healer offers a great way to defeat challenging bosses. Claude is the most powerful fighter in the game, closely followed by Chisato. My favorite party consists of Claude, Chisato, Rena, and Ashton.

I have loved video games since the days of the family console, and I prefer adventure games such as God of War, Assassins Creed, Horizon Forbidden West, and Tomb Raider (before switching to RPGs). I have no bias towards any gaming console; for me, the best is the one that offers the most distinctive games. What matters to me are experiences with interesting storytelling, as the story is the basis of enjoyment more than the game-play.
