1---Introduction----------------------------------------
IMO this is best Super Nintendo game there is. Yes, I even rate it
better than Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3, and some other great
games. Unfortunately, this game never saw the light of day in US until
now... With the magic of emulation and Dejap (although you can import it)
this game is now playable thanks to their graphics pack and english
patches. Why is this game so good? Easy. To start, it has a great
characters and storyline. On top of that there are multiple endings.
Let's not forget about the music though, the game has a good soundtrack
as well as voice acting! The game itself is quite short (10-20 hours),
although its multiple paths gives it replay value:)
---------------------------------------------------------

-Battle system-------
What really shines about this game is the battle system. Unlike Final
Fantasy's battle system, Star Ocean is real time. Not only all your
characters attack at once, so do your enemies. This makes the battle
often chaotic and fast. While battles rage on, it takes more than an
all out brawl to win the battle. This means it requires strategy than
just brute force and a lot of preparation is required to win. This is
why it's such a great game:)
-Techniques and spells----
There are two kind of characters in this game fighters and mages. The
fighters are Ratix, Dorn, Iria, Cius, Ashlay, Fear, Marvel, Perisie,
and Tinek. The mages are Milly, Joshua, and Ronixis. Fighters can equip
two short ranged moves and two long range moves. In battle target the
enemy and select L or R to use an assigned killer move. Depending on
where your character is and the range of the assigned move will
determined what moved is used.
(Ex. You have Raven orb assigned to a short range slot, and flare orb
assigned to a long range slot. If an enemy is far away, flare orb will
be used.)
Mages can use all their spells in battle. In battle go into menu and
select special. This will access their special spell set. You should
always take notice of the type of tech you use and how use them.
-Secret techniques--------
Ougis in short. If a character is proficient in their fighting style
and they have an ougi book equipped, they have a chance to learn an
ougi. Ougis are learned from practicing techs in battle.
Here are the ougi listings.
4---Approval rating ---------------------------------------------
Approval rating in this game is an important part of gameplay. It
affects how one feels for each other. This has a big role in battle.
Characters with high AR for another will act more friendly to another
(ex. Milly will cast support spells for people she likes) and increases
the chance of an anger explosion.
Anger explosions can be helpful in battle as well. When a character
goes in rage they'll shout some thing out like "You'll pay for that,"
and gain a large damage boost.
On contrary, characters with low AR for another will be less friendly
to one another.
Well how do change AR then. Private actions and battle. At certain
towns your party can split up and explore the town. Certain "events"
will occur with your characters. The choices you make will affect the
characters and either raise or lower their AR for one another. In
battle, if a person is getting beat and you help them, their AR will
increase towards that character. If you let them fall, their AR will
decrease towards everybody.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

How to recruit each character.
Ratix- take a wild guess
Dorn- automatically joins in beginning for short time.
Milly- automatically joins in beginning for short time. Will rejoin in
Edcart if just Ashlay, Cius/Joshua, Fear, or if just Ratix and Iria are
just in the party. Will rejoin in Edcart if Ashlay/Joshua, Fear/Joshua,
Cius, or if she doesn't join in Edcart.
Ronixis- joins automatically in Ionis.
Iria- joins automatically in storyline.
Cius- complete the delivery job and he will offer to join you.
Ashlay- Will join if Cius is not in party. In Tatoroy talk to him
outside the arena, enter battle arena, and he will join you if you take
a ship to Astral.
Fear- Don't get Ashlay or Cius and break her out of jail. Then she asks
to join. If you have Cius and Ashlay, she will offer to join when you
search for the emblems.
Joshua- will join you if you go Parji Shidin.
Marvel- Will automatically join you if Ashlay or Joshua is in the
party. Will not join you if just Cius and Fear are in the party. Offers
to join of you have nether of these people.
Perisie- pick up the ocarina the catgirl dropped and when you beat Van
trial cave go to Clatos and do a Private action. Say the name is
Perisie and play the ocarina. She will then join your party.
Tinek- enter a rank C or higher with Ratix and Tinek will fight you in
the final round. Beat him and he will ask you to join.
Ratix Ferrence
AGE: 19
Country of origin: Moore
Race: Fellpool
Class: fighter
Style: Edarlken
Height: 174 cm
Weight: 68 kg
Favorite food/drink: hiokoro (a type of jelly me thinks)
Ratix is part of a group who defends Clatos village. His father died at
is his post, and Ratix fights to defend the village from thieves. He is
a very close friend to Dorn and Milly who also lost loved ones. He is a
very calm and relaxed person, but is depressed when thieves attack.
Even then, he will fight for his friends and what is right (hero type
person). All seems well until a note comes from the town of Cool...
In battle, Ratix fights in an Edarlken sword style. He has a strong
attack with little recovery. Most of killer moves are weak and it
sometimes is better to use his regular attack. He can equip heavy armor
and shields.
Shouretsuha-Mp cost-3 range-short Lv.3
Ratix creates a shockwave that hits all enemies around him. The damage
is half his attack, but it can hit up to 3 times.
Gerenken- Mp cost-6 range-short Lv.7
Ratix charges his sword with fire and does a double jumping slice. Each
strike does the same damage of his normal strike.
Use this against the Velcants.
Senkouken- Mp cost-5 range-long Lv.10
Ratix charges his sword with energy and releases many firebolts around
him. It can hit a lot of times if the enemy is close and each bolt does
the same amount of a normal strike.
Raimeken- Mp cost-5 range-short Lv.12
Ratix summons a bolt on his sword to do thunder damage. This tech is
useful when fighting armor knights in Astral Cave, but is slow to pull
off.
Kuuhazen- Mp cost-9 range-long Lv.16

can be executed anywhere on the screen. This useful when fighting
enemies who are hard to catch.
Shouhazan-Mp cost-11 range-short Lv.20
Ratix does a jumping slice with his sword. Each slash does the same
amount of damage as a normal attack. The first attack doesn't always
hit though. I only used this tech to get Shichiseishouhazan.
Shoureiha-Mp cost-8 range-both Lv.25
Ratix launches a ki wave in front of him. The damage is the same as his
normal attack, but gives him some range between the enemy.
It can used in succession very fast with link combo.
Kouryuuha-Mp cost-13 range-short Lv.29
Ratix jumps up, turns into a dragon, and fires a blast at the enemy.
The damage is very high (2.5x) and can be a powerful move.
The only problem is it is very slow since he has to get into position.
----Ougi techniques-------
-Shiseijuu Ougi techs

This tech is a much more powerful version of shoureiha. Instead of a ki
wave omitting from the sword the legendary dragon. The attack is twice
as powerful than before.

Ratix summons Sazaku on to his normal shouretsuha. This attack hits all
enemies around him for double the power of shouretsuha.

waves can break any defense.

Milly is the daughter of the top healer in Clatos. She hasn't learned
anything, because she rarely stays at home. She is a tomboy and is
crazy about Ratix. She daydreams about him and can be very jealous. She
is also very emotional. When her dad is infected with the virus she
goes to Mt. Metox to find the herb.
Milly is the healer of the game. She uses a mix of healing ad support
spells. She comes in handy to bring along in battle to heal characters.
She is the least offensive character in the game. She uses a staff in
battle although it doesn't look like it:p She only gains two attack
spells.

Dorn Matro
AGE: 19
Country of origin: Moore
Race: Fellpool
Class: fighter
Style: none
Height: 181 cm
Weight: 75 kg
Favorite food/drink: 240g steak
Dorn is part of the Clatos guardians. He lost his sister to thieves and
keeps her music box as a memento. Unlike a certain Star Ocean 2
character <koff> Dias, Dorn is an optimist despite what happened. He
has high feelings for Milly although he teases her a lot.
In battle Dorn uses a huge long sword. He fights very similar to Ratix.
He cannot use techniques because you only play him for about 20
minutes.
Ronixis J. Kenny
AGE: 38
Country of origin: Earth
Race: Human
Class: mage
Style: attack magic
Height: 179 cm
Weight: 64 kg
Favorite food/drink: dried mushrooms
Ronixis is the captain of the starship Kalnus. He is currently fighting
against the Rensonians. He is a very calm and reasonable person, but is
dedicated to his task. He doesn't really believe in gods or anything
non-scientific. He lost his wife to an incurable disease, and would
regret if anything like "magic" would save her. Ronixis is looking for
what the Rensonians are doing on Roak.
In battle, Ronixis is a very powerful fighter. He has an arsenal of
magic, and he uses a bow in battle. Unlike most mages, Ronixis has a
powerful regular attack. His magic is very powerful, but he only uses
the most powerful spells you have. Since most of his spells are
elemental, you might heal the enemy often.

Ronixis shoots a ball of fire at the enemy. By now, his bows should be

Class: warrior
Style: Jujitsu
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 48 kg
Favorite food/drink: Tama no Hikari (alcohol)
Iria is the chief science officer and first officer of Ronixis. Unlike
Ronixis, Iria is good at socializing and getting drunk.
Most of the time she can get emotional but prefers not to show it.
In battle Iria uses her hands and feet to fight. In other words, she
fights in martial arts. Her attack is very slow and so is her speed.
Her Killer moves, however, are very useful. Watch out for her in the
beginning, because she dies easily.
Kikoushou-Mp cost-5 range-both Lv.9
Iria launches a ki blast with her hands. Since her regular attack
sucks, this gives her some range.

from there. Does 2x damage.

other side to sandwich the enemy. Genbu does 1.5x damage.

-Hakke Ougi techs
Oukahakkeshou Mp cost 19 range-short Learned from: Genbuhaouken
Iria unleashes a furry of punches as cherry bombs explode in her path.
A very powerful technique that can hit up to 4 times for 2x damage per
strike. Is faster and hits more than renkiken.
-Uraouka Ougi techs
Uraoukasakukou Mp cost 23 range-short Learned from: Oukahakkeshou
Iria's most powerful move. Iria leans forward and does a furry of
punches and finishes off with a trust kick. Almost the same
oukahakkeshou except for the kick.
Cius Warren
AGE: 20
Country of origin: Astral
Race: Highlander
Class: fighter
Style: Garyuu
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 90 kg
Favorite food/drink: kokuryuu (alcohol)
Cius is the son of Warren, a well-known person in Astral. His mother
died when he is young. When his father handed the job down to him, he
declined it. Than he left Astral to build his strength and confidence,
as well as to search for treasures. He is very a very rude and foul-
mouthed person, and he likes to brag despite his confidence. He has a
strong fondness of alcohol, and is often seen around bars and taverns.
Cius uses a big two-handed sword in battle. Many of his techs are
similar to Ratix, but are used in different ways. His attack and
running speed is slow. His power and strength make up for this.
Souretsuha-Mp cost-5 range-short Lv.9
This shouretsuha is the same as Ratix just costs more Mp. Use it when
surrounded.
Shoureiha-Mp cost 7 range-both Lv.13
Like Ratix's tech just gets it later. Use it with link combo to do it
really fast.
Shouhazan-Mp cost 10 range-short Lv.18
Cius does a front flip slash. This hits up to two times. This is much
more useful than Ratix's Shouhazan.

With this tech, Cius slashes the enemy as a thunderbolt hits it. The
second hit is thunder-elemental.
Gerenken-Mp cost 11 range-long Lv.25

and attack the enemy. Can hit more than once if the enemy is upclose.

Cius slashes his sword in the ground and Genbu appears and slashes all
near him for high damage.
Byakko shourai-Mp cost 15 range-both Learned from: shouretsuha

Cius slashes his sword as the opponent is struck by two thunderbolts.
Thunder-elemental.

Ashlay was an old war hero and master of Edarlken sword fighting. He
spends his last days at the Tatoroy Arena watching the battles. He is
disappointed that know one has the respect for the art of fighting.
When he sees Ratixs fight, Ashlay realizes his power and becomes his
mentor. He then joins them on their way to Astral.
In battle, Ashlay fights similar to Ratix. Most of his techs are more
useful than Ratixs, but as you level up, Ashlay becomes less powerful.
He starts of with a very large Hp boost and three Ougis equipped.
Unlike most characters, Ashlay learns Ougis by leveling up, with the
exception of the Shichisei Ougis. Ashlay can equip heavy armor. He
can't use shields since his arm is injured.
Shouretsuha-Mp cost range-short Lv. Na
Ashlay creates shockwave around him. This is exactly the same version
of Ratix and Cius.
Shouhazan-Mp cost range-short- Lv. Na
Ashlay does a jumping double slice with his sword. This is the same
version as Ratix. Each strike does the same damage of a normal attack.

groups of enemies or ones weak to fire. Fire-elemental.

Favorite food/drink: escargot
Joshua is a Featherfolk. Their race lives in the mountains and never
leaves(like the Highlanders.) Joshua is an exception. The Crimson
shield killed his parents and abducted his sister. He is currently
looking for his sister. He gets very angry at anyone who gets in his
way(Especially Marvel). Joshua is a pacifist and shy person.
Joshua fights with a variety of magic. He can use both attack and
healing magic. His healing magic is outclassed by Milly since he only
has three healing spells. Ronixis will get his spells about 5 levels
earlier. Eventually he will get the spell extension which is very
devastating to all enemies.

9---Dummies Guide----------------------------------------
This guide is for people with trouble working with dexor.
Requirements
1. Computer
2. Internet
3. Typing ability
4. IQ above room temperature
Tools required.
Star ocean rom
Dexor and graphic packs.
Winzip
Dexor and the graphics packs can be found at dejap.zsnes.com and search
for the star ocean rom on the net.
Starters
Start of by having all the files you downloaded in the same folder.
TIP: to make this easier on yourselves name the folder super nintendo
and the rom star ocean. Remember to keep the emulator and roms in the
same folder as all of these. Make sure they are on the desktop.
Actually if you want to understand this guide fully, do these steps.
Steps
1. Unzip all files in the super nintendo (or whatever folder you have.
2. Run dexor.
3. The file name is called staroc~1.smc if it is a SMC file and
staroc~1.srm if it is a SRM file ect..
4. Then it may ask you for the location of the XOR file. The name would
be something like C:\windows\desktop\supern~1 if you use my tips.
5. You now have a new sub folder called Socnsdds1. Put the file
SDD1GFX.IDX is in this folder.
6. Load the star ocean rom after running Zsnes
And you're done. This should be very simple for you to get if you
follow all the steps.
Finishing touches
1. Get an IPS patcher. Snestl12 works well.
2. Get IPS patches for the star ocean rom.
3. Run the patcher and select use IPS.
