INTRODUCTION
.........................
If you're like me, you have a difficult time remembering which stores carry
the items you want in Star Ocean 2. Star Ocean is no different. In fact, I
find it even more difficult because it's in Japanese, a language I don't
know, and I imagine most people playing Star Ocean also don't know Japanese.
I wrote this FAQ to aid myself in Item Creation, and I hope it can help you
as well.
First, a brief explanation. In Star Ocean, shops can be recognized (usually)
by a sign next to the building's door. One type of shop is labeled with a
sign showing three round objects. They could be bubbles, berries, whatever.
Your guess is a good as mine. ^_~ Since these shops generally carry items
that heal, I call them "Potion Shops". Another type of shop is labeled with
something that looks like a pot, a bottle, something like that. Since these
shops generally carry items such as raw materials for Item Creation and
offensive items for battle, I call them "Tool Shops". The shops that sell
weapons and armor I call "Armories". These are labeled with a sword. "Skill
Shops" sell skills (duh). These are labeled with a magnifying lens. There are
exceptions to these, so my advice is to talk to every person in a town. You
should be able to find the store you want easily enough.
In addition to the items I have listed prices. But as far as I can tell,
prices are constant in the game. No matter what shop you're in, a Blackberry
is going to cost the same amount.
By the way, I threw in Skill shops just for the heck of it. You really don't
need that information. Star Ocean doesn't allow you to buy a set of skills
more than once, so each time you reach a new Skill shop, try buying them all.
You'll get the ones you need, and you don't have to worry about wasting money
on the ones you already have.

basic items, though.

CONTACTING ME

Since I don't know Japanese, some of my translations could possibly be
incorrect, but with the aid of Katakana and Hiragana charts, Ian Kelley's
walkthrough and FAQs, the Star Ocean: The Second Story Strategy Guide, my
friends who know Japanese, and other resources, I think I got almost
everything right. After reading through this, though, I'm sure you'll
discover the translations I'm unsure of. If you can help me with these, I'd
REALLY appreciate it.
If there's any information you think is missing or info that you'd like to
see added, email about that. I will NOT include info relating to the ROM, nor
will I change my FAQ to match any translation patches out there. I did the
work of translating all this stuff myself before the ROM was even playable.
If you'd just like some help with something in Star Ocean, I would be happy
to help, but I will not and cannot (as I've never played it and have no
desire to) provide information on where to find the ROM or how to get it to
work, nor will I answer questions regarding translations patches. I love
chatting about tri-Ace and the Star Ocean games, though. ^_^ My email address
is:

THANKS TO...
.........................
Tri-Ace for making one of my favorites games. You guys rule. ^_^
Enix for publishing this game.
Ian Kelley. Without your walkthrough, I would have never been able to play
this game. The same goes for many SO fans. Your walkthrough and FAQs also
helped me with the names of a few items. Your Hiragana and Katakana charts
have been useful in MANY ways.
PJK and Kurt. Thanks for letting me bug you about some translations. And
thanks to all my buddies at the Game Pond and the Castlevania Dungeon for
putting up with my constant ranting and raving about how Square sucks and
tri-Ace games are God's greatest gift to man. =P
GameFAQs for just existing. What would I do at 3 in the morning without your
FAQs and message boards?
Andreas. No real reason. Just felt like thanking you. You know why. ^_~
And I thank myself, because without me, this FAQ wouldn't be possible. So...
till next time, peeps. Toodles.
