On a routine transport mission, Raymond Lawrence's spaceship is attacked by the Pangalactic Federation and he crash lands on an underdeveloped planet. He meets Princess Laeticia, who is fighting to protect her homeland from an invading empire. Together, they set off on an adventure that will shake the foundations of the entire universe.
Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include why you should switch characters in battle and how to defeat formidable foes.
You do not have to stick to your default character, you can always swap between characters during combat, and it is something you should take advantage of whenever the need arises as each character has a unique combat style which may make it better suited to a certain situation. By taking direct control of the character you will be able to use their skills a lot more effectively than the IA.
New skills are obtained in Star Ocean: Divine Force by spending the SP that you earn from defeating foes. The skill tree is accessible from the beginning of the game, and you can plan your advancement toward any skills you want.
You have the choice between active and passive skills, or maybe you want to enhance existing abilities, it's entirely up to you. What is important to remember is that you will not be able to change the spec of your character, so you need to be strategic on how you spend your SP.
Stop mode in Star Ocean: Divine Force is a feature that allows you to stop the action when it gets too hectic and catch your breath while you plan what to do next. It also gives you the opportunity while not under pressure to plan a strategy, give your team commands, and use supplies. Make sure you take advantage of this feature, especially during some of the more challenging boss encounters.
It is inevitable that at some point during your adventure you will encounter a formidable foe that you will find yourself struggling to dispatch for whatever reason.
When this occurs you may want to consider adjusting the settings of your game, so you alter the situation. This can be done at any time during the game, even in battle, and allows you the opportunity to change your gear and team members, so you have a different configuration.
Although you are free to arrange many skills to a single button on your controller so that you can use them successively in a Chain Combo, it is important that you take into consideration the distance requirement for certain skills and their possible limitations so that when you combine them they flow together more efficiently. You also need to consider how the combo will affect your character's fighting tactics.
Focus on getting new skills and stats in the skill tree before you worry about upgrading old ones. Upgrading will cost much more SP after a few levels, but only provide marginal increases. However, once you have all your stats boosted, those upgrades will start to have more impact.
