Healing Star can become one of the best healing special arts/spells in the game

Changing Dias old Voice for skills was a huuuuuuge mistake.

Hello guys. I'm sorry for taking so long to upload new video. I was doing my stuff, it was busy as bee. I'm also struggling to make sure my channel is still alive. I'm really scared since KZread make new system called KZread Partner Program (YPP). I didn't object but it is really effect small channel like me. I will try to upload a video in 1 - 2 weeks. I really can't do like other KZreadr like 4 - 5 videos in a week. I try to do it ASAP. But the more important is, hope you guys like my videos. Leave a LIKE and COMMENT and SHARE with the others. Thank you for supporting me.

Tear Gas + Poison Pills + Claude with normal attacks is a damn Queen Killer.

I loved Chisato. I paired it with either Ashton's final (Swords Dance?) or a wall! This combo wrecked all monsters.

Mirror Blade was awesome to use on bosses.

That hitbox at the end of Sword Dance is just obscene. Ashton was great, too bad you had to skip Opera to get him though.

If only we can make Gremlin Lair/Ravenous Fiend cause 9k damage per hit late game, that would be awesome.

Awesome! 😁

Kinda funny to see how alot of these moves are in tales series as well because of the creating team

Many skill animations were shortened in the PSP version. Explode in particular was ridiculous on PSX, although many of the longer animations looked badass.

They used the spell animations from First Departure, most of which were shortened or altered there. Notably Stone Rain wasn't even in the original Star Ocean 2 and Noel instead had a different final earth spell that summoned a giant to make a giant Earthquake, but since Stone Rain was in First Depature (and became a recurring skill in later games) they just used that instead.

also Dias Moon Slash is spammable on the PS1, they destroyed it on the PSP. You have to grind the proficiency to make Moon Slash into Full Moon Slash. Spamming Claude Mirror Slice from the left + Dias Full Moon Slash from the right + Ashton Triangle Attack, all with maxed proficiency, the final boss only last less than 5 minutes for me. I grind like crazy on that carnival themepark place prior to final boss.

is it possible to show moves at different proficiency stage? some moves change drastically after proficiency.

That is what I was about to say. Never played second evolution but at first I thought they may have took out the different stages of killer moves cuz seeing all of the killer moves in this video seemed like they were not ever used even though the characters levels are obviously high with max ho and mp. Hopefully they didn’t remove maxed out killer moves. But I can see how they might as some were op after they were maxed like ripper blast on ps1 when maxed would hit almost half of the whole screem

Nice. Now I’ve seen the arts on all the characters I never used.

Dias: "What? There's no way! No one can just deflect the Air Slash!"

90% of this video: “TRYGHHH ACEEEEE”

I agree with Ardy, it would be interesting to see a pre-proficiency stage, and post-proficiency maxed look on certain attacks. When you max out on proficiency, they tend to either get bigger, or get an extra attack. So, it would be interesting to see what the differences between them would be.

For being a bit of a comic relief character, Ashton's probably got coldest special moves.

Probably not, but Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean share several senior developers. Star Ocean 1's kingdom "Sylvalant" is a reused proper noun from Tales of Phantasia: the moon "Sylvarant". This word is later used for the first world in Tales of Symphonia. Yoshiharu Gotanda wrote the plot for Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean, and he reused the name in Star Ocean for the SFC when he led the development of that game. Tales of Phantasia was originally created by some of the Star Ocean developers, but there is no link between the series(unless you count the Tales of the Rays Claude/Rena etc SO2 cameo)

I thought so aswell, If i’m not mistaken the original version had a huge lag in the animation midthrough, which often left Ashton open for attacks? Mirror slice suffered the same thing, although not as severe. I’m glad they fixed it though, balance Ashton out somewhat. The general ”missconception” was/is the Ashton and Claude was/is #1 and #2 in the terms of heavy fighter (Claude, Ashton, Dias), mainly because their Multi-hitting abilities hits more than Dias does, and their auto-attacks are the fastest, whereas Dias is one of the slowest, If not the slowest. But at the same time, Dias is the most durable fighter in the game (due to high dexterity), and don’t suffer Ashtons fate of only having 18 luck. Played SO2 fanaticly when i was younger, and was always hanging out on forums etc. Some had some local ”leaderboards”, and Dias would always dominate them. Cleared the tournaments roughly 20-40 lvls below the other characters and whatnot. Not to mention his best weapon (Crimson Diablos) acts as a berserker ring, and is accesable early in disc 2. So while the other characters does around 2-3 k damage, Dias is doing 5-6, and is able to hit the 9999 marker in early disc 2 aswell, If you have both the Crimson Diablos + a berserker ring. Air slash being the most OP spell in the game, and Illusion being the safest, and most efficient multi-hitting ability, makes Dias borderline unstoppable. Mirror slice and Sword dance were like a double edged sword, and neither had anything to match air slash (which funny enough made Dias the best ”ranged” DPS). So i love how Dias is/was considered #3 in rank amongst the heavy fighters, but in reality was so much stronger and versatile than both Claude and Ashton, making him OP. Shame that this video shows High profiency on both Ashton and Claudes skill, but little to no on Dias ones. Illusion starts to hit 4 times, and giving Dias a red aura. And what made Illusion so great, is the it had no lag, and the third strike would send you forward, so If the enemy recovered throughout the combo, or If you’d somehow missed, the third attack would send you flying to safety. Also you could use two illusion in the time it took to do one mirror slice or sword dance, due to long cast time, and lag. I dunno why i’m writting all this, so sorry about that. But i’m glad that they fixed sword dance, a cool attack which was unfortunatly way to dangerous to use in certain situations, due to the hefty cast time.

@@ollegrahn1937 As far as I remember, Dias' best use is that his Air Slash travels REALLY fast and it is pretty safe and has a super cheap cost, allowing him to spam it like tomorrow without moving. Very nice for enemies that move around the map with high speed. If it's Claude or Ashton, they still have to get in position, so they will spend a lot of time chasing and getting in position, and leaving them vulnerable if they missed. I guess the meta has eventually changed, instead of how much flashy multi hit you can register, it's about how SAFE you can be while you deal damage more consistently and rapidly. Guess that was why in latter days, I tend to pick up Opera more often than Ashton. A lot of her moves can hit more reliably.

While in the remake Healing Star only has a 2 skill lvs via SP spending once you max out it and have the ENTIRE party at 9999 HP lv 100+ it will restore 5500 HP on all which is about 500 HP higher then then its healing for the PS1/PSP version.

After finishing the first game, and watching Claude''s special arts here, one may ask, is he really Ronix son? I can see he learned some moves from his mother, but none from his father (thats how useless he was in combat... hahaha...), instead, he have some of Roddick moves. Considering one of the endings of the first game, Roddick being Claude father isnt something impossible. Hahahaha... Just a conjecture ok.

Phase gun is what he learned from Ronyx which was Ronyx's prefered combat style that he couldn't use in SO1 because he couldn't bring it with him first time and second time it was useless against the final boss. He just kind of took up archery and casting out of desperation. Hence why he was so bad at fighting as he only barely was proficient with a bow and had weak magic power. Once he was able to use his phase gun again I expect he tossed his bow in the trash and never cast a single spell again.

Just like in First Departure/First Departure R, she is a secret hidden character. While she is there, she doesn't have any significance in the main story and she'll mainly speak in Private Actions and can share endings with other characters. As for Opera and Ernest, Ashton and Opera are the characters you have to pick and can't have both at the same time. You need Opera to get Ernest on the other hand. Their recruitment can be complicated.

I don’t know how her got to such a high level with most of these killer moves not being maxed. It makes no sense. Maybe he just used symbology users.

I find it funny that most of the final Specials you get aren't even the best ones. For instance, Ripper Burst and Dragon Howl are arguably the best for Claude endgame. Mirror slice sucks because it has long animation and it doesn't stop if the enemy breaks free and Sword Bomber is just underwhelming. In fact, I think the only final specials that are useful are Tear Gas and maybe Tri Ace.

The voices are worse than the psx version and seems like they changed alot of the names of the Killer Moves

pulverizer? that was "tear them to pieces in the original ps1 version. and what's with Claude's irritatingly high pitched screams? And Dias Flac's voice was deep and grating before. pale moonlight was crescent wave... Moonight arc was Crescent moon slash... Phoenix arc was Hawk Scream blast... ... the new names are saaad...
