Let's Play: Star Ocean The Last Hope International

[Sephiroth]

My playthrough of Star Ocean is the last one to Platinum, the Chaos Mode run.


For those who are interested in the story and what I do during that, enjoy this thread.





Chapter I: Aeos








After their mission has begun an anomaly has occured that threw Edge and Reimi, the protagonists and members of the military unit, SRF, out of their Warp Phase. Fortunately they still got to Aeos. However the Calnus, their space ship, was heavily damaged. Three of the other four ships managed to get to Aeos, also with some problems, last one, Crowe's ship, that of Edge's best friend and rival is missing.


When the first exploration started and the ship was about to be repaired, unknown life has been detected:




Aeos is inhabitated by gigantic bug creatures.

They attacked the crew and Edge barely managed to defeat them alone.

His captain, Grafton ordered him to explore the planet and search for one of the three ships, the Eremia, which no longer could be detected with a signal and find it.




Edge's other best and childhood friend Reimi followed him.

The area is one big jungle-like, rocky location with much water around and plants everywhere. Giant spiders and bees do not hesitate to attack in groups and flowers contain helpful items as well as there is much to harvest from such a lively planet.

When they reached the Cave of the Urd Falls they discovered other beings, bats and self-cloning plants gelee creatures. Here there were also some items as iron, berries and sage that recovers their health and restores consciousness when the characters are down.

Outside of the cave the next sort of bugs has been encountered, the greatest of of them on that side. They have a large back and love to attack with a ram attack while flying.

When the heroes arrived at the beach they found the wreck of the Eremia and a dying crew member. He told them about an unknown force, a being that was the cause for the Eremia and crew's fate.

He died in Edge's arms.

A young man arrived. He has green hair and is not human. While he tried to explain the current situation the force that wrecked the Eremia materialized and attacked the heroes.






The man joined them and fought the creature - a thing with a solid shell to protect its core and tentacles.





After a hard battle in which the shell was broken to quickly attack the core with Blindsides, attacks from behind while the enemy is confused, the being Armaros has been destroyed.



The young man introduces himself as Faize, an Alien from the Eldarian race, the Space Elves. He goes with them through the caves and the outside area back to the Calnus where an Eldarian station has been built for further planning.
