Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (62)

I could have taken a better screenshot, but here you can see Opera's third eye clearly enough; you can also notice a pair of red goggles she's wearing, probably an infrared visor for aiming with her plasma cannon. The way she wears them, however, makes them look like bunny ears; and the fact that only two lenses are present is weird, won't she need a third one for her additional eye?

A close in of Opera after a victorious battle: every time you win a fight, the character who gives the last strike and another one (I don't know the criteria, maybe it's randomly picked) say their victory line. Depending on how the battle went and on how strong your enemies were, suitable quotes are chosen. The 'results' window also appears, with the number of experience points and Fol gained: Fol is the famous intergalactic currency I mentioned several posts ago, it's used on Expel, as well as Roak and other planets, so you don't need to worry about exchange rates when space-travelling.

You can also see some numbers in green: those are recovered HPs and MPs in battle. The Stamina attribute of your characters establishes how much you can recover at the end of a fight, although the longer the fight, the less you'll recover. It's a good idea to raise the Stamina statistic early in the game, by raising your Danger Sense skill level, so you won't have to heal very often and you'll regain MPs for your killer moves and spells during easy fights.
