Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (338)

I really can't understand Claude: why would he say that to that cute little penguin? Besides, isn't it obvious what it's saying?

As mentioned before, Vern Vern is one of the differences in this virtual Expel, and it's also your key to return to Nede once you're done with your tour. The other major difference is that the Synard is waiting for you just outside of town. Know what this means? Other than not being ripped off by the ferry toll anymore, of course. You can finally land on the fourth continent of the planet, normally completely inaccessible. What's there, you ask? The Cave of Trials, a so-called "post-game dungeon": it's an additional challenge for players who've already finished the game, where your characters can become even stronger and acquire even better equipment (it still wasn't common practice in JRPGs back then, but a bunch of Dragon Quest games had those). It's extremely advisable that you go through them before attempting to defeat limiter-off Indalecio. I won't go through that this time, because there isn't any funny stuff inside (well, there's Puffy, but that's not worth the effort necessary to reach her).

One more thing: if you have Noel and/or Chisato among your characters (which I don't, unfortunately), you can see what these two are doing during Private Actions in the towns of Expel; there isn't any particular even with them, but they have new lines of dialogue. Be sure to visit Hilton and Lacour with them, as they have their best lines there. What's that? You can't find Chisato in Hilton? Look better!
