You know how the Japanese are, they can't resist adding something excessively cute to their games and anime. For Star Ocean, Perisie is it. She's a little cat-girl who tags along with Ratix. As you probably guessed, her arsenal of attacks are all cutesy. Her hearts and pineapples are lethal! She's probably the fastest character in the game, but she starts at a low level, her defense is very low, and her attack power isn't much better. Only later in the game (when she gets really good techniques) will she be of much use. Her main use is to allow you to get the awesome Bunny Whistle item! Perisie is by far the best at Music, and she's not bad at the other Abilities either (besides Writing). Obtaining Perisie: You must have Milly in your party, and you must have the Ocarina item (you can only get it just after finishing the Velcant Lair). Do a Private Action in Clato. (At some point, the game will refuse to let you do a PA in Clato any more; I'm not sure what triggers it.) Talk to the cat, choose a name, then equip the Ocarina and play it by pressing A. |
Techniques: Short Range
Multiple Punch Learned: Level 11 MP: 9 |
She summons three cats who all hit the enemy at once. It has a decent range and can work well for the start of the game. |
Hiii-Ya! Learned: Level 17 MP: 19 |
Perisie goes up to the enemy and hits it three times. It's decent, but drains MP very fast. |
Charming Pose Learned: Level 20 MP: 20 |
Perisie wiggles around and then shoots out a heart that smacks the enemy. |
Jump Kick Learned: Level 34 MP: 34 |
Learned: Level 34; MP: 21; Range: Short |
Techniques: Long Range
Shining Dance Learned: Level 13 MP: 11 |
Perisie jumps up and lets loose with a blast of kitty power! It hits all enemies for moderate damage. Not bad for the start of the game. |
Prismic Dance Learned: Level 25 MP: 19 |
Perisie summons her cat friends to heal the HP of the entire party. It takes a few seconds for the HP to restore, though. Once she learns this you might want to use her instead of Joshua for an alternate healer. 8-) |
Look Up There! Learned: Level 27 MP: 10 | Perisie distracts the enemy, immobilizing them for a few seconds. Quick and easy to pull off; good for a link combo. |
Spread Missile Learned: Level 30 MP: 17 |
She'll throw fruit (an apple and two pineapples) at the enemy, which explodes and can cause some major havoc, especially if you're surrounded. |
Panic Dance Learned: Level 36 MP: 20 |
It takes a while to set up, so be careful you're not knocked out of it. If you do manage to pull it off, you have a chance of dizzying all the enemies on the field. It doesn't seem to work too often. |
Secret Techs: Short Range
Dream Combo Learned: Cat-Fu! Secret Skill, from Hiii-Ya! MP: 32 |
Perisie goes up to the enemy and whacks it multiple times with a gigantic hammer. |
J.P.P.C. Somersault Learned: Cat-Fu! Secret Skill, from Jump Kick MP: 22 |
She does a jump and punch, and follows up with some more karate moves. A good multi-hit technique. |
Secret Techs: Long Range
Magical Dance Learned: Cat-Fu! Secret Skill, from Shining Dance MP: 64 |
A witch flies across the screen twice, and refills some MP for the entire party. Not all that great, considering how much MP it costs (ouch). |
