Star Ocean: The Second Story 1998

Is it still worth playing?

tri-Ace's action role playing game for the PlayStation, the second Star Ocean and the first released outside Japan, in North America in June 1999. In a science fantasy universe, Claude, an officer of a space faring Earth organization, is stranded on an undeveloped, medieval level planet, where he meets Rena. You play as Claude or as Rena, and the journey changes and ends differently with your choices. Those choices shape the party too. Ten other characters can join, but only six fit into an eight member party, and some choices make others unavailable. Along the way you go from town to town and dungeon to dungeon, with side quests, and battles play in real time, with direct control of your character and six preset strategies for allies. A party that differs on every playthrough still gives a reason to start again today.
