[IV] Star Ocean 1
===============================================================================

SD 346 (2432 A.D.)_____________________________________________________________

-Planet Ise at Mark 301.209 in Sector Gamma is destroyed by some third party
under the guise of the Resonians. A Federation research vessel is witness
to this act.

-Half a year later, this same third party fires a biological weapon at Roak,
triggering the once dormant virus engineered 300 years ago.

-Ratix and Dorn fight off a gang of bandits attacking Clatos village.

-The Elder of Clatos receives a letter from the neighboring village of Cool
that a virus is spreading that is rapidly turning people to stone. Maltos
travels to Cool to investigate.

-Dorn receives a letter two days later from Maltos warning that the disease
cannot be cured, and that the village of Cool is done for.

-Ratix, Dorn and Milly travel to Cool to meet Maltos. Maltos berates the
party for coming, and they return to Clatos.

-Ratix, Dorn and Milly scale the dangerous Mt. Metox in order to retrieve a
herb that they believe could save Maltos. Along the way Dorn reveals he has
contracted the virus from the carrier pigeon from Cool.

-Ratix, Dorn, and Milly are greeted by Iria and Ronixis at the summit. They
ask the three to come back to their ship, Calnus with them to analyze Dorn
and hopefully devise a cure. Dorn accepts, and the others follow.

-The doctor of the Calnus reveals that the disease is parasitic, and not
currently curable. However if the host was found and a blood sample taken,
a serum could be devised. He also reveals that the body is perfectly
preserved after being turned to stone, so there is no immediate timetable.

-Felworms are sighted in the transporter room, hatched from eggs they left
on Ratix, Milly, and Dorn. Since Federation Phasers are ineffective,
Ratix and Milly fight them. Ratix is wounded, and bleeds on one of them.
The Felworm disappears from the sight of Iria and Ronixis only. It is
later revealed that the blood of Roakians absorb all light wavelengths
between 240nm and 780nm.

The light we see is actually just a small part of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Violet colored light has wavelengths
beginning at around 380nm. As the wavelengths get larger, the
color changes from one to another, ending with red at around 740nm.
The Roakian blood then would absorb all visible light, as well as
a small amount of infrared and Ultraviolet.

-The doctor reveals the difference in Roakian blood to Human blood.
Specifically, the hemoglobin of Roakian blood is primarily composed of
copper with unknown elements. Iria speculates that the Roakians are being
harvested to create some sort of weapon. Sensors on the Calnus confirm 20
million statues or no longer on the planet.

-Dorn begins to succumb to the disease. He and the rest are transported back
to Roak. He gives Milly his sister's music box before "dying" in his bed.
The remaining members return to the Calnus.

-Ratix and Milly observe a ship approaching the Calnus before sensors
detected it. It uncloaks and claims to be a Resonian vessel come to
negotiate. The group reveals that the mysterious third party is responsible
for the planet's Ise and Roak, and they were coerced into starting this
conflict against their will. They also reveal that retrieving the host would
be impossible, as it was 300 years ago.

-The Calnus returns to Earth to learn the Pangalactic Federation has abandoned
the Roak rescue mission. Ronixis and Iria risk court-martial and life
imprisonment by traveling to the Planet Styx (Stream) with Ratix and Milly.

-The sentient time gate on Planet Styx (Stream) accepts the team's goodwill,
and opens a portal to the planet Roak in SD 46 (2132 A.D.)

SD 46 (2132 A.D.)______________________________________________________________

-Iria and Ratix arrive on Roak, south of Clatos on the Moore continent.
Ronixis and Milly's location is unknown at present.

-Ratix and Iria travel to the village of Hot (later known as Cool). They
meet up with a swordsman named Cius Warren, and the 3 accept a job from a
shopkeeper known as Badam to deliver a package to the town of Portmis in
exchange for a pass to allow entrance to the city.

-The party delivers the package, returns to Hot, then travels back to Portmis.
Cius may or may not leave at this point, depending on the choice of the
player, but in the grand scheme it effects little.

-Ratix and Iria want to travel to the Astral Continent, but pirates are
blockading the port. Ratix and Iria defeat the pirates and travel to Astral.
In the pirate cave they save a Lesser Felpool, Perisie.

-The party arrives in the port town of Otanim, then travels south to Tatoroy.
It is possible to recruit Ashlay at this point, but it makes no difference
in the overall story.

-Ratix and Iria travel to Astral Castle Town.

-The Captain of the Astral Knights, Fear Mell, is observed killing 2 soldiers.

-The party spends the night at a man named Warren's house (Cius's father).
Depending on whether you have Cius or Ashlay, Fear is observed by your party
to kill Ryas Warren. The party chases after Fear only to discover she is an
impostor. She is defeated.

-The party returns to the castle and is thanked by the King and the real Fear
Mell. It's said that Ryas's injuries are not life-threatening. The King
then suggests you travel to the Parj Temple, as there is an object there
known as the Eye of Truth that will let you see whatever you want, and thus
show where Milly and Ronixis are.

-The crew arrives at the Parj Temple. Outside they meet a Featherfolk named
Joshua Jerand who is searching for his sister. He says that his parents were
murdered his was sister abducted, and he was left for dead. Since everyone
has similar interests, Joshua joins the team.

-The inner sanctum is reached, and 3 spirits appear. They say that the Eye
of Truth is nothing more than a myth, but may still be able to help you. They
identify Ratix and Iria of not being of this world due to their incorrect
time signature. This surprises everyone and confuses the heck out of
Joshua and whomever else you have. The 3 spirits show you a vision of
Ronixis and Milly in a place Ashlay/Cius identifies as the country of Van.

-The party leaves the temple. Joshua may or may not leave you here, but it
matters little in the overall story.

-While heading towards Tropp, a spaceship lands outside of Clatos village.
The party goes to check it out. The "3rd party" has arrived.

-Ratix, Iria, and crew return to the port of Tropp and sail to Ecdart. They
meet Milly here, who tells them Ronixis is just south, in the town of Ionis.
(Although it is possible to not meet Milly until Sylavalant, I'm including
it here for simplicity.)

-The party travels south to Ionis. At the entrance they see Ronixis and Marvel
Frozen, a women Ronixis and Milly met in their travels. Marvel is arguing
with a man known as the Crimson Shield, who she claims killed her parents and
brother (Hmm...). The Crimson Shield says it is a case of mistaken identity
and leaves.

-All the reunited members celebrate in a bar. Marvel steps outside for a
moment. Depending on your party composition, you learn that Marvel's body is
not her true one... rather, she traded her old body for this one to become
more powerful. Ronixis is understandably disturbed by this. Ashlay says he
once fought along the Crimson Shield. He also reveals that he turned evil
after going on a mission to retrieve a mirror for the King of Van that turned
out to be cursed.

-Iria says that they need to find the host of the virus, who is identified as
the demon king Asmodeus. Since the King of Van has been fighting against
the demon world for some time, they travel to Van Castle Town.

-The King puts the party through a trial to see if they have any chance of
defeating the demons. The party succeeds.

-The King then reveals that is impossible to enter the demon world on this
side. Rather, portals can only be opened from the demon world to Roak. The
party insists there must be some other way. The King elaborates that a portal
was opened once by the original Moorians a long time ago, and they are
responsible for the link that still exists today. They accomplished it by
creating a special treasure called the Eye of Truth. He also reveals the
original Moorians were not babies, rather they sprung forth as full-grown
adults. Finally, the King says that the Moorians left different bits of
information with each of the other kingdoms of the world, and tells the party
to visit other countries for more information. He gives you the emblem of
Van and his blessing.

-Ronixis reveals that he was taught magic (also known as Symbology, Runology,
and Heraldry) by Milly. Ronixis regrets he did not learn it sooner, as it
may have been able to save his wife who died several years ago. Iria says
that is unlikely, as it was unable to cure the disease on Roak.

-It is possible to recruit both Tinek, a lycanthrope, and Perisie, the Lesser
Felpool you saved earlier, at this point. They are both optional however.

-The party travels north to the ice country of Sylvalant. They pass a village
named Dulus along the way, and learn the entrance to the demon world is nearby.

-The crew arrives at Sylvalant castle town, in which all the residents are in
a state of quarantine because of the war. The party meets with the King.

-The King reveals that the entrance to the demon world is on a small island to
the south. He gives you the emblem of Sylvalant, a key to access some ancient
Sylvalant ruins, and access to the port.

-Ratix and crew travel to the Sylavalant ruins to the east. In the inner-most
sanctum, they meet a girl encased in ice Joshua identifies as his sister Eris.
Marvel warns everyone to stay back, or she will fight everyone. Joshua is
obviously not too pleased by this, and an argument erupts. An angry Marvel
disappears in a bright flash of light with Eris, never to be seen again.
For those of you confused on what happened, Marvel is in fact Joshua's sister
Eris. Eris discovered and used the Moorians Soul-Transfer device, and
transferred her soul to a Moorian, Marvel, in order to acheive revenge on
the Crimson Shield. In order to save Joshua the heartache of finding his
sister "dead", she takes her old body and runs. (While technically a side-
quest, I am including this here as it is important to the story. Thanks
K_19.)

-The party travels to Moore castle. The King also puts the party through a
trial, to dispose of the monsters in their treasure room. Ratix and crew
succeed. The king thanks you, and gives you the emblem of Moore.

-The group travels to Astral castle. The King gives you the emblem of Astral
and tells you some cryptic passages that have been passed down through the
generations.

-The group travels back to the Parj Sanctum. They meet the spirits and show
them the 4 emblems. The spirits wonder if they are the ones the ancient
Moorians predicted would come. They are transported into the inner sanctum.
The inside is very high-tech with computers and machines, obviously far
beyond anything the Roakians are capable of.

-The party reaches the bottom. Using the phrases the King of Astral gives
you and the hint provided there, the password to open the final door is
"Earth"! Iria and Ronixis are understandably shaken by this turn of events.
Inside is a holographic projection of the planet Earth. Iria notices a
large continent in the Pacific Ocean, and that it could be the legendary
continent of Mu that supposedly existed a long time ago. It is said the
civilization was very advanced, but was destroyed by a meteorite. A
hologram of a person appears who explains that he and his fellow Moorians
were somehow transported to this planet while the meteorite hit. Iria
recalls incidents in the Federation where people sometimes were transported
short distances by space-time vortexes, but nothing nearly this far. The
hologram reveals that the Eye of Truth's purpose was to open a wormhole to
allow the Moorians to return to Earth. Something went wrong however, and it
opened a gate to the demon world instead. The party retrieves the Eye of
Truth and returns to Sylvalant.

A wormhole is literally, a hole in space. If you imagine space as a
round object, traveling from one side to the other would require you
to travel around the circumference of the object. If it were possible
to simply drill a hole through the middle, your travel time would be
significantly less.

-The King thanks them for their efforts, and to enter the demon world at the
small island to the south. At that time, a demon runs in and warns that you
are too late, as a massive weapon has been developed. There is a rumbling,
and its revealed the entire village of Dulus was destroyed. The party leaves
right away to the demon world before the weapon can be used again.

-The party arrives at the demon world to be greeted by the Crimson Shield.
He attacks and is defeated by your party. If Marvel is with you, Ronixis
points out she has finally achieved her revenge. If Ashlay is with you, he
feels remorse for defeating an old comrade. The Crimson Shield says not to
feel bad, and to hurry for Astral. He warns that while the crew was
distracted, his evil shadow attacked in order to secure "the bladeless sword".
The party uses the Eye of Truth to travel immediately to Astral, and defeats
the Crimson Shield's shadow. They retrieve "the bladeless sword" from Ryas,
and Iria reveals it is actually a force sword (read: lightsaber) much like
they have in the Federation, but it's very old. New weapon in tow, Ratix
and the group travel back to the demon world and enter Asmodeus's stronghold.

-The party enters Asmodeus's stronghold, which is some sort of biological
research laboratory. They reach a computer which Iria tries to hack into,
but it sets of an alarm and Asmodeus appears. His henchmen attack the group,
and Asmodeus runs away.

-The party chases Asmodeus. Suddenly 2 men appear, detain Asmodeus and take a
blood sample. Noticing Ratix and crew, they quickly leave. Iria says that
must have been the 3rd party who originally they killed Asmodeus. In order
not to change history or potentially create a time paradox, (yeah, sure,
whatever helps you sleep at night Iria) the party kills Asmodeus and takes a
blood sample for their own use.

-Ratix and everyone return to the King of Van, who praises their efforts.
He thanks them for restoring peace to everyone.

-Ratix, Ronixis, Iria, and Milly travel back to the future with the blood
sample.

SD 346 (2432 A.D.)_____________________________________________________________

-A serum is produced and a cure is administered to everyone affected by the
virus. Dorn is revived.

January 23rd, SD 347 (2433 A.D.)_______________________________________________

-Claude C. Kenni, Human and son of Ronixis J. Kenni, is born to an unknown
mother. (read: probably not Iria. See the Unsolved Mysteries section for
details.)

SD 347 (2433 A.D.)_____________________________________________________________

-Ronixis and Iria return to Federation Space.

-Admiral Beize of the Federation reveals to Ronixis that a ship from the planet
Fargett appeared in Federation space out of a wormhole and demanded the
Federation surrender. It was learned that on Fargett, a superhuman named Jie
Revorse is the mysterious third party who is plotting against Earth. He has
established a dictatorship, but there is a lot of opposition on Fargett. The
Admiral authorizes Ronixis to put down this uprising, and permits him to use
the Time Gate.

-Ronixis and Iria return to Roak to retrieve Ratix and Milly. The 4 once
again use the time gate to recruit their friends from Roak's past.

-The party takes the wormhole to Planet Fargett and beams down to the surface.
They are captured by Jie's soldiers.

-Ivana, leader of the resistance movement on Fargett, rescues them. She
reveals that planet Fargett has few natural resources, so they studied
genetic engineering as well as wormhole technology to survive and seek out
resources. Jie Revorse is the only successful product of this genetic
research, and has gone mad.

-Ronixis, Ratix, and everyone else travel to the top of Jie's tower. Jie
reveals that not all the Moorians were sent to Roak, that some were also sent
here to Fargett - so they all share a common ancestor. If Marvel is with you,
Jie recognizes her as a Moorian.

-The party defeats Jie Revorse.

-The Roakians from the past travel home. Ronixis and Iria drop Ratix and
Milly back on planet Roak, and say their goodbyes. Star Ocean 1 ends.

-Ronixis and Iria return to the Federation. For their efforts to put down
the Jie Revorse uprising, and introducing the new technology of Symbology to
the Federation, Ronixis is promoted to the rank of Admiral.

[VI] Star Ocean: Blue Sphere
===============================================================================

SD 368 (2454 A.D.)_____________________________________________________________

-Bowman and Nineh give birth to a daughter on Expel.

-Searching for ancients ruins to study, Opera and Ernest crash land on the
planet Edifice. They send out a distress call to Precis.

-Precis gathers everyone still living on Expel, as well as Leon. They head
off to Edifice, where they too crash due to some unseen force.

-Claude and Rena are unavailable due to their duties with the Federation. They
soon learn however, their mission involves investigating a being known as
Akuma, who has been destroying and rebuilding the civilization of a planet for
some time. That planet is... Edifice! Claude and Rena depart to meet up with
their comrades.

-Precis and crew depart the ship to explore. They come across a boy named
Lent from the nearby Scout Village. Lent shows the party to his grandfather's
house.

-Lent's grandfather tells the group of Mile Dungeon to the north, which is
rumored to hold some sort of artifact called "the gift". Thinking this may
lead them to Ernest or Opera, the party decides to check it out.

-The party does not find Ernest or the "the gift". They do however, obtain
bombs which they used to unblock the east exit of Scout Village and continue
their quest.

-Outside, the group meets Radol (Ruddle!), a traveling merchant who claims he
saw a 3-eyed man heading to Aba city.

-Precis and the others arrive at Aba city and meet the king. They learn there
are more ruins beneath Aba city, known as Leviabor. Again thinking Ernest is
there, they ask permission to enter. The king agrees under the condition that
the party goes to Garp Dungeon and defeat a bothersome dragon to prove their
worth.

-Precis and crew go to Garp, defeat the dragon, and return to Aba.

-They receive permission to enter the ruins from the king. Before they can
however, they get into an argument with a woman outside who is a member of
the resistance movement against the king. A soldier arrives, and thinking
everyone is a member of the rebels, throws them into jail.

-With the help of sympathizers, the party escapes.

-Back in Aba city, they finally meet Ernest! Ernest does not know why he and
Opera crashed either, so they decide to go to his ship to find out why.

-Ernest and company travel to Slave Village. Showing their authorization from
the king to the guard, they proceed to the crash site at Agit, which is also
home to the resistance movement.

-Climbing to the top of the trees, the group retrieves the energy crystal from
Ernest's ship. They also find that nothing was wrong with the ship after all.

-Heading back, they learn that Aba's army is attacking Agit and Slave Village.
They defeat the army and save the leaders of the resistance, Elius and Marcus.

-Ernest recommends the group go and retrieve Opera, who is working in the
laboratory at Knott.

-Passing through the Underground Passage, Nusa Beach, Bunny City, and a desert,
Ernest and the others finally reach Knott.

-They meet Opera in the laboratory, along with a young girl named Rival that
Opera saved from a monster.

-Opera asks the party to retrieve the Parentia Stone from the ruins underneath
the laboratory. The party agrees.

-The group successfully retrieves the Parentia Stone and returns it to Opera.

-Rival begins to explain a little about herself, but asks the group to return
to Bunny City and tell everyone they have the Parentia Stone, as well as to
obtain some info.

-The party travels to Bunny City and does so. Then a messenger informs them
that Knott is under attack!

-The group returns to Knott, defeats the monster invasion, and save Rival and
Opera.

-Rival then tells the whole story of Planet Edifice. Edifice was once an
extremely advanced planet, but one day Akuma appeared and destroyed the planet
except for a small number of survivors and some ruins. The people rebuilt,
but it was again destroyed. This process continually has repeated itself, the
most recent destruction being in SD 168. Rival wishes to put a stop to this,
and asks the crew to come with her to the city of Lung, which is rumored to
hold the secret behind Edifice's cycle of destruction. Everyone agrees to
help.

-In order to get to Lung, Rival and the others must pass through the lead of
the dead known as Scream, as well as scale Sunerupentesu tower. They pass
these trials and arrive at Lung.

-Rival and the team meet Jima, leader of Lung and one of the few survivors of
the tsunami 200 years ago, and thus is a seal to a place known as Grand Knott.
After a brief talk about Edifice before the disaster, he elaborates on Akuma.
He says that Akuma is not a single being, rather it is born to a human every
200 years. He says that he sent the monsters to attack Knott, in order to
prevent Rival from obtaining the Parentia stone - this entire time, she has
manipulated the party. Rival? But she...

-Suddenly, Akuma manifests itself within Rival! She kills Jima, and breaks
the seal on Grand Knott, the large object sitting above the city of Knott.
Rival then takes the Parentia stone with her and runs away.

-Meanwhile, Claude and Rena arrive at Edifice. The same strange force pulls
their ship into the planet.

-At a loss for what to do next, a being calling himself Lohse arrives. He
reveals he is an Edifan, the underwater race of the planet. He says that
he was sent by Jima to guide everyone come and meet his leader at the
underwater ship called Aqua City. The party agrees.

-Lohse sacrifices himself and transforms into a trinket to allow the party to
breathe underwater.

-Everyone travels through the Underground Combs and arrives at Aqua City.

-They meet the king of Aqua City, Bie. Bie pleads with the party to stop
Akuma from destroying the planet again. Bie asks the party to rescue the
other 2 kings of Aqua to obtain their guidance and power. The 3 of them can
also allow the party to enter Grand Knott. Our heroes agree.

-King Laum and King Nero are saved.

-During this time, Rival has returned to Knott and boarded Grand Knott using
the Parentia stone. All of a sudden, Grand Knott begins to fly! It travels
to Aba City, and completely destroys it with a laser! It then "docks" with
the Leviabor ruins.

-The party rushes to Leviabor ruins to stop it before it can take off again.

-Along the way, they meet Rena, who tells everyone Claude is sick in Bunny
village. In order to cure him, Rena and the others travel to the Knott
laboratory with a herb found in the Underground Combs. A scientist known as
Simone makes an antidote, and Claude is cured. (This is technically a
sidequest, but Claude is such an important character story-wise it's almost a
crime to leave him hanging.)

-The party fights through the Leviabor ruins and defeats Rival... NOT! It
turns out they defeated a clone of Rival. The real one shows up and smites
you with power extracted from the Leviabor ruins. Before she can deliver the
final blow, the 3 Kings of Aqua teleport you out.

-Rival disengages from the ruins, and flies all the way up to a space station
orbiting the planet. (How did everyone NOT notice that?!) Apparently the
ruins are "recharging points" for the Grand Knott, which is why they are
always spared from destruction. The Kings of Aqua say it is only a matter of
time before Edifice is once again destroyed.

-Bie tells the party there is only one remaining way to save the planet - by
using the space elevator known as Ex-Trokia, they can travel up to the space
station.

-Ashton, Precis, Dias, Noel, Chisato, Ernest, Opera, Leon, Bowman, Rena,
Claude, and Celine prepare for the final assault. They fight their way up
Ex-Trokia and make it to the space station.

-On the space station they run across Cosmo City, a city of robotic guardians.

-Everyone finally infiltrates Grand Knott and finds Rival.

-Rival tells the group she is being controlled by a computer known as Mother
Edifice. This computer "protects" the planet of Edifice by wiping it clean
when it's technology advances too far, in order for the inhabitants to not
live through the grief of destroying each other, as a result of misusing
that technology. Akuma is simply how Mother Edifice works through a being
in order to re-unite the Grand Knott with the space station. The ones
responsible for Mother Edifice are... the Moorians! They were sent to
Edifice as well, after the disaster on Earth.

-In order to save Edifice, the party defeats Rival. Before dying, she tells
everyone she was responsible for their ships crashing on Edifice. Even
though she was being controlled by Akuma, deep down she wanted to end the
cycle, and used her power to pull ships from outer space, in hopes of finding
the prophesied heroes who could save the planet.

-Our brave heroes destroy Mother Edifice. This ends the cycle of death once
and for all, as well the stories of these characters.

All of the information given was copied from a faq that had the WHOLE STORY and everything else about the series in it.

I can't really summarize the story, because it's too awesome.. You have to play the games to understand.

Oh yeah. I should probably say SPOILER ALERT in there... Because ALL which I just posted tells the events of all the games, and everything which happens in the story...

If you get the chance, at least get a hold of Star Ocean II: The Second Story. That game was amazing, and it's really the earliest game you can get of the series in English ( Without taking emulators into account )

Star Ocean was never Translated, though The Second Story and on were. It's not really NEEDED to play the game, but it IS fun to play the games. I will say though, an event in Till the End of Time REALLY set me off, and uncovered A LOT of information about the past games... ( ******** 4D... )

So, you don't really NEED to play the other games, but it will be fun at least =D

Well, if you want to go play the 360, please don't let my wall of death text stop you. Just try to get a hold of Star Ocean II: The Second Story or the newest one that's coming out and get some play time in on it.

- EDIT -

10 man Naxx is calling me on World of Warcraft.. Talk to you later!

Aww damn, I missed Star Ocean talk? Not cool.
