In Star Ocean 2 you get a choice of who you'd like to join your party. Who did you pick?

In my most recent playthrough, I've got Claude, Rena, Celine, Ashton, Precis, Noel, Chisato and Leon.

1 & 2) Claude & Rena, (obviously)
3) Celine - I think she is the best Runologist in the game, and she is hot! :wub:
4) Ashton - Not the best swordsman, but really handy support early on in the game, before Chisato that is.
5) Dias or Leon (Story dependant), I’d prefer Leon of the two though.
6) Bowman - He is way better then Precis if you ask me, POISON PILLS FTW!!! “Looks like I’ll be popular with the ladies again!”
7) Chisato - I think she is underrated, she is the perfect melee support unit when I'm using Claude, Tear Gas among others are extremely useful.
8) Noel - I hate the guy, but I have space left over with this setup so I let him come along, although I don't need him with Celine and Rena. -_-

Yeah, I hardly ever use Precis. I mainly use Claude, Rena, Celine and Ashton. Chisato's good but I wasn't bothered with training her up :P

In my first play through, aside from Rena and Claude, I got Leon, Ashton, Celine, Bowman and Chisato. Noel was useless, so I didn't bother keeping him.

I'm definitely going to play through more though, to get the other characters.

My first I decided to go with

Claude and Rena
Ashton
Precis
Leon
Chisato
Noel
Celine

And then the popular recruitment continued to be that list. I mainly make use of my magick casters and Ashton/Precis duo. Main magick casters would usually be Rena and Noel, sometimes Leon or Celine.

At my first playthrough, apart from Claude (main character) and Rena, I picked...

Celine
Ashton
Bowman
Leon
Noel

I didn't get Chisato the first time just because I didn't know how. So, on my second playthrough, as Claude still, I consulted FAQs and got pretty much the same people except Bowman. I got Precis that one time. And also Chisato.

As Rena, I got (apart from Claude, of course)...

Ashton
Celine
Bowman
Dias
Noel
Chisato

I'm not done with either my Claude or Rena save, but my current parties are:

Rena game (all 8 slots filled):
- Rena (protagonist)
- Claude
- Celine (for some reason, I ALWAYS take her)
- Ashton
- Precis
- Welch
- Dias (♥)
- Noel

Claude game (all spots filled):
- Claude (protagonist)
- Rena
- Celine
- Bowman
- Opera
- Ernest
- Leon
- Chisato (just got her)

...Yeah, I have a tendency to play both stories at the same time.

All right, let's go through the list one by one like everyone else:

Leon: He was my favorite character, and so, he was the one who I controlled in battle. Sure, he was slow, but I gave him Bunny Shoes, and he moved across the field in about two seconds. What's more is that he has access to the most powerful Symbology in the game: Ravenous Fiend. No, it is not Extinction or Meteor Swarm. Ravenous Fiend deals consistent damage to enemies that don't absorb its element, and if Leon has over 1,000 INT, it deals over 800 with a hit. If the enemy is close enough, that is about 20 hits of 800 damage. And last I checked, 16,000 damage with a single spell is much greater than 9,999.

Claude: He was my main hero, and I used him in my main party, too. His attacks were some of the greatest in the game. And his defense was pretty solid. He was one of my main characters for dealing damage. His Rock Explosion was probably the most useful one, since it has such a long range.

Opera: She's the best healer in the game, need I say more? She has the Healing Star skill, which will instantly freeze the screen and recover 5,195 HP to all characters if its proficiency is at 999. That's way better than what Rena can do. But in terms of power, she is very good at it. Her Tracking Plasma deals about 5,000 damage with each hit; it has five hits total at max proficiency. That's over 25,000 damage if all the shots hit.

Chisato: With her Tear Gas, everything in the game died so fast. Seriously, though, Tear Gas has got to be one of the best, if not the best, skill in the game! I can't even imagine how many hits in has, and once an enemy is near a wall, it knocks them onto the wall, nearly killing them. She is definitely one of the best damage dealers.

Rena: I didn't have a choice; she was sort of... mandatory. But I never even used her in my main party. I thought she took too long to cast Symbology. Seriously, though, I died faster than she could heal me!

Celine: I didn't use her. i just sort of took her along.

Noel: I hated him, but I just decided to take him with me. He could heal if I wanted to not waste any of my main party's MP or items.

Welch: I wanted to see how useful she was. Indeed, she was a decent fighter, with Nibelungaling dealing 9,999 to everything, but I didn't want to use her.

Well, so far my party consists of:
Claude
Rena
Celine
Ashton

Claude is the main fighter and Ashton as back-up. Celine is set to save her spells, and Rena... does nothing. She only heals when necessary. But Fate, she saved me a few times!

I wanted to try out Ashton, I really did. But I found out that if I were to get him, I would have to give up getting Opera. And since Opera was my main means of healing, I just couldn't give her up. I didn't like Rena, so I didn't want to use her. And did I mention that Rena likes to play favorites? If her affection rating for Claude is high, and her affection rating for Leon is low, here is what will happen when they are both dead at the same time: Rena will revive Claude, and then she will heal him. After that, she will... attack the enemy! Then, she'll revive Leon and heal him!

Don't worry, you're not missing much. From what I can see, he trying to be like Claude, but Claude is still better, much.

I heard that he had good skills, but they somewhat mirror Claude's. His one final attack is suppose to be a copy of Claude's Mirror Blade, I heard. Oh well. I think I prefer Tear Gas to any other moves. And I've yet to create Hyperlauncher for opera, so I can't comment on that one yet.

I guess I'll tell you when I level him up. I'm currently finished with Ashton's "exorcism" and I'm now reading about what to do next.

I don't think I ever recruited Bowman, either. At first, I just didn't want him to be in my party. Then the second time, I recruited Precis instead, thus making it impossible to get him all together. But maybe on my third playthrough, I'll see how good he is and recruit him instead of Precis. Can I still get Welch if I get him, though, or is he too late?

I know that to get Welch, it requires that you have four characters in your party at the time you enter Lacuer and dot he private action to get her.

Meaning your last slot is open for either Chisato or Noel. Don't choose Noel. He has almost no personality, and you don't need another symbologist! Chisato, on the other hand, has Tear Gas!

I guess I'll use the game guide for her, then. It is a girl, right? When will I need to start this quest?
