Quick Ways to Earn FOL (Money) in Star Ocean Second Story R

Star Ocean: The Second Story R introduces FOL, an in-game currency essential for purchasing weapons, armor, supplies, and vital items to aid the characters on their adventure. Numerous avenues, such as engaging in side quests and battling in the field, exist to accumulate FOL.

Nevertheless, Star Ocean: The Second Story R offers improved, user-friendly methods on the menu screen to acquire skills and obtain additional funds. In contrast, unlocking skills in the original Star Ocean: The Second Story for PS1 and Second Evolution for PSP entailed a more time-consuming procedure. Here's how it's done in the current version.

IC/Speciality Skills To Earn Money

To simplify unlocking skills and earning extra cash in Star Ocean: The Second Story R, players can utilize the IC/Speciality Skills menu, which is similar to the Check & Strengthen Skills menu in Star Ocean: The Divine Force. By following this method, players can earn up to 100,000 FOL for each character by pressing the Triangle button on the PlayStation or X on the Nintendo Switch.

Investing Skill Points (SP) in Determination is crucial for players as it reduces the SP cost required to level up other specialties. It is considered the most essential specialty in Star Ocean: The Second Story R.

Additionally, players should prioritize investing their SP in Purity, as doing so will result in rewarding each character with up to 100,000 FOL.

Other Ways To Earn Money

To acquire Skill Points and Battle Points, players must engage in battles and focus on leveling up. The party's SP rewards increase as they progress through each level.

There are additional methods to earn money in Star Ocean: The Second Story R:

To maximize your rewards, focus on completing the main story missions. Engage in battles against progressively stronger foes on the field. Remember that green enemies are the easiest, purple denotes medium difficulty, and red signifies hard opponents. Conquer the most challenging adversaries to earn ample experience points and FOL.

In addition to victory in battles, the party is rewarded with items that can be utilized for crafting purposes. These items can be employed to create superior equipment or alternatively sold, especially if the party possesses an excess of items such as necklaces and spectacles.

Undertake missions on behalf of the Guild, which primarily involve culinary tasks like preparing fried eggs, as well as creating exceptional items and equipment. By completing various challenges, the party will earn rewards that can either be used or sold.

Challenge Missions offer a great opportunity to earn FOL while playing the game. For instance, completing ten battles will grant the party 200 FOL, and mastering 20 percent of all skills will result in a reward of 500 FOL. Another effective method to earn money in Star Ocean: The Second Story R is by catching and selling fish, particularly the Elurian Urchin, which can be sold for 560 FOL each.
