Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (268)

Ok, I'm sorry, but either due to my mistake in game save management, or because of an emulator glitch, I never actually got that woman's ID card in the Synard's cave, therefore she didn't show up in Central City. The walkthroughs I read don't seem to mention that you need to pick up the card and use it before a certain event, but it appears you can't meet with her anymore if you do that anytime after the event in Fienal (or possibly after the completion of the four Fields).

What does this all mean?

  • I won't be able to fill up my eighth party slot, so I'm stuck with a party of 7 characters
  • I won't have access to any of the Private Actions and events with this character, including the research on the Ten Wise Men
  • She won't be an available choice for Leon's Private Action in Fun City (more on that in a later post), which is a pity, since that could have been a nice Funny Bit
  • It's now worthless for me to 'go back' to Expel from Nede, since the only reason I'd do that would have been a small Funny Bit with this character

Her name is Chisato Madison, reporter for the Nede Chronicle: hot-blooded and passionate about her job, she's an expert in martial arts (she could follow our heroes in the Synard cave after all), but strangely she's also pretty clumsy (you could probably tell already). A lot of her battle quotes refer either to journalism or movie direction. Other than martial arts, in battle she also uses machinery of sorts, and she can also call the aerial defense force (it's weird, but it works on Expel as well) to bomb-raid the enemy.

Why would she have chosen to follow our group? But of course, as per Claude's proposal, she could have kept covering them for the news without the need to stalk them, while proving herself useful in combat. That's all you need to know about Chisato; I won't be able to even see her again.
