To Do (10 left)

  •  Patience values and getting items from people. Including rare items like the shu-mai roll in Salva which otherwise is only available from a limited time pickpocket opportunity in Herlie.
  • Equiping a new killer move makes you immune from random encounters for a screen
  • Each Rainbow Diamond equipped raises all specialty levels by 1 to a max of 10
  • One of the least well-known things in the game is that if you block NPCs for a certain number of times, you get them angry and some give you an item to leave you alone.
  • Later fieryinvective discovered each NPC has a patience value and found 3 other people that you can wear down for items: Herlie, Screen 1, Pink-haired Woman: Wolfsbane Herlie, Screen 2, Blue-haired Man: Meat Dumpling Salva. Elder in Mars: Tuna
  • No one has ever arranged a formal list of all the items, so there's still room for a final FAQ in this game.
  • Algol's property of parrying stars that can cause instant death have the best sudden death attacks in the game. You can even use it to beat Iselia Queen on Universe mode. People should explore it for speed runs.
  • Rena and Dias never have a Private Action together
  • Berserk Ring doubles ATK, great ot get before Atlas Ring. Atlas Ring doubles ATK and can be stacked for quadruble ATK and no berserk status but lowers elemental status which must be counterracted with other equipment.
  • Ending 86 which occurs after credits has them meet up. It may be the only true ending. It ends on the terrible line "Star Ocean 2: The Second Story. Do life forms that do not evolve have the value...? FIN"
