A nice way of getting Goodie Boxes, thanks for those who shared this with me in the previous video's comments. Hopefully this helps others too! Please remember to subscribe for more Star Ocean 2 content. See you next time!

it's a joy discovering new things in this game after doing 100% runs a hundred times in the past on the ps1. i'm really smiling here!

Besides the Sword of Marvels, there are other equipments you can get for your other party members that may be a good idea to make and open more Goodie Boxes Rena/Bowman: Sorcerer's Knuckles & Knuckles of the Moon - the former is the stronger one, but the latter is needed to for them customize their ultimate customizable weapon Celine: Silver Rod - It'll be the best weapon upgrade she can get, later she can customize it her arguably best customizable weapon Ashton: Lotus Eaters & Luminous Slicers - like with Rena and Bowman, the former is the stronger, while the latter is a needed to later customize to his ultimate weapon via Customize Precis: Atomic Puncher - the best weapon you can get for her in the box, and can later be customize into her 2nd best weapon which in turn, can be customize further into her ultimate weapon once you have the right ore material Opera: Alpha Clip - it wont have +1000 attack like all the other character weapons on this list, but its still pretty solid, also Opera usually doesnt have a lot of opportunities to upgrade her weapon so this will last you fairly long Ernest: Spark Whip & Light Whip - Again, the former is stronger, while the former is to be used for customizing to obtain his best customizable weapon Welch: ??? - I'm pretty sure you can get a weapon for her, but if you could I dont remember the name for it

Thanks for the tips! Got the sword yesterday with the pickpocket method so now I’ll do this to equip my other party members!

TY i blew through both goodies boxes you get and didn't know awesome stuff was inside. This method took me 5mins tops to get that sword. Thanks tov you and the subs/commenters for this awesome tip!!!!.

Thank you for the tips. I got 18 goodie boxes and went for all these items (reloading). Then, after I just moved on with the story. Happy feeling OP early. Lol (Claude / Dias): Sword of Marvels 2x (Rena / Bowman / Noel): Sorcerers Knuckles Knuckles of the Moon (Celine): Silver Rod (Leon): Encyclopedia (Ernest): Light Whip Spark Whip (Opera): Alpha Clip X Clip (Ashton): Lotus Eaters Luminous Slicers (Precis) Atomic Puncher Miracle Punch - X (Welch) Playful Handy Stick - X

Wooooooo! This was so much easier than the other method, took me literally like 5 minutes to get the sword! Thanks Fuzz!!! Excellent content as always :D

Thanks for the video Simon, I love Star Ocean

You don't even need to dump SP into Purity for the Fol although it's not like SP is hard to come by unlike the original version of the game. As soon as you unlock IC you can also unlock the Group Appraise Super Specialty and easily get it to level 5 for a 15% reduction in buy costs and increase to sell values. This allows you to offset some of the costs of Magic Clay buying by vendoring all the non-goodie box items you craft (int boost mirrors sell for more than the clay costs and jack in the boxes sell for almost as much as the clay costs) and to offset the rest mass buy eggsa nd dairy and mass craft food to vendor (a full stack of 20 eggs and dairy costs less than 200 Fol with Group Appraisal running and multiple items crafted from it sell for more than 200 each). The whole crafting system for this game allows you to essentially trivialize it from the moment it unlocks.

I've been doing this method and now I have two sword of marvels for Claude and Dias, sorceror knuckles for Rena, miracle punch for Precis, xclip for Opera and I'm working on getting the best handy stick for Welch....I don't really care for Ernest lol

Thank you for these Tips! Waiting on getting my physical copy then will start using these tips asap.

Have to wonder if there's some way to make copies of the goodie boxes using the the other skills, like Replication. I managed to find a stock certificate, an item that gives 1 fol a minute, so I'm also interested in making copies of that if possible... but I remember from playing these types of games that you can literally make items that sell for insane amounts of money once you level up your skills high enough, so money ends up being essentially trivial. I plan on experimenting when I've leveled up more.

coming from the original ps1 version only , this is a godsent game from the future to my childhood self lol

Love your stuff. Greetz from Hessen, Germany.

Get the FOL from Cooking and selling. Don't upgrade Purity. Upgrade Training and Enlightenment. Once you unlock Fountain pens, use Writing to make books.

50 perfect dodges also provides your with 100K fol, which is quite easy to acomplish.

I wished they would give us more enemy links and more items in the Goodie Boxes

I’ve been opening boxes for about an hour now and nothing good has come out of them, really disappointed, has anyone else experienced this? I’ve tried reloading, coming back into town later and just straight up spending thousands on clay just to get, well, crap. It’s not a game breaker by any means as I know it’s random but just frustrating when I don’t get anything good

I got sword of marvels after about 10 minutes… thank you so much

So we don’t need to get the pickpocket then yay!

I have lotsa fol from fishing outside of Arlia in the river streams 10k per big fish

Hi Fuzz, It is also possible to fish them up. I caught one as an unidentified item fishing outside Krosse.

Nice! I'll try this ASAP LOL. When I get home How come no one is doing videos on this? Welp, it might be good so they don't patch it right? Does it still work?

Did they take the old man out of the game? I remembered this from the ps game and I got the thiefs glove as soon as it was availavle, but the old dude isnt here.

Muito obrigado pela dica amigo

Can you use phtography to make copies of the Goodie Boxes?

Is there a good weapon for Rena in the goodie box?

What if you don't have the option to create the goodie boxes?

So for added hacks, in the main area of the castle you can steal a camera, you can get bird food from a guy in the plaza, use familiar to stock up on magic film, and bird food. Get premium paper from a goodie box and make a counterfeit medal. Reproduce unlimited counterfeit medals for super early lvl 100 lol

Got it first try thanks!

test earlier...game have limit 20x only at all NPC now. maybe they saw your vid and nerf it...... [Edit] after I buy my 1st 20 clay, it will grey out.. then play some more.. come back or check other shop.. will have available to buy again, but this time i only see x10. Thanks for the guide! cheers!

Gotta give them credit that they added more cheese to compensate for the increased difficulty.

Can you get more than 1 sword of marvels? Can they equip on other chars?

How do you lvl up art? It’s not showing up

Yeah I did this as well. But since I’m doing a Claude solo run, I’m not sure if I need that many

Can someone explain how to get Relax Perfume?

I got 2 sword of marvel and 2 sorcerer of knuckle, what a lucky day 😂

Too late now everything in my game looks different

made me waste all them muhfuckin skill points in pickpocketing and my unlucky ass STILL aint gettin shit

Don't install updates btw, they usually jerk us when they find a game-breaking thing but all this was meant to be discovered organically so in a sense this ruins the game for you

Too broken, I don't think that was possible in original version.

Holy chit! this is would of been so much easier and faster than doing it one by one! :D
