Another one that’s pretty hard to learn, better off starting with it. This one is tough to learn, having it as innate skill is easiest.

Helps with the Familiar skill, which allows purchase of items from almost anywhere. Painting portraits and duplicating items will be easier with this Talent. This increases someone’s success with the Art skill. Either you start with it, or you don’t have it. A skill only available to magic users, and cannot be learned. This Talent is hard to learn as well, so your best bet is some pre-screening. Since most people are probably playing this on an emulator, I will warn you save states will not work for this, you will get the same Talents everytime, that is the nature of how save states work.Īnother consideration is it would be ideal for most characters to have the Originality Talent, as it allows them to Customize their best weapons. If the Talents are what you want for that specific character, or more importantly if they have Talents that fill in holes for your party, keep them, if not reset the game and have them join again.

When they join, check their Talents on the Status menu. The best way to get the Talents you want is to SAVE right before a character joins the party. I would also suggest that aside from waiting for Ionis, to first level up the Effort skill, which reduces the SP required to learn other skills. It is largely agreed upon by the Star Ocean community, that the best time to learn skills is upon reaching Ionis.īefore that point, hording SP is preferred as the only skill required for game progression is Gale being leveled up one to learn to Dash. This guide will provide a basic primer on Talents and Skills and when to learn them. Specialization is key in getting everything you need in a prompt manner. Talents can be innate, the character joins with them, or can be learned, in an often tedious process.Īppropriately pairing skills with the appropriate party member is key in saving the ever valuable SP. Talents are a character’s natural inclination to be successful at a particular set of skills. Success of skills is determined not only by RNG, but also by a character’s specific “Talents.” Ranging from gaining positional advantage in battle, to smithing, to even playing music, these skills are almost universally useful. The depth of Star Ocean is defined by its incredibly satisfying skill system, which provides benefits both in and out of battle.
