Perisie is the quintessential “cute addition” to Star Ocean. This adorable cat-girl tags along with Ratix, bringing charm and whimsy to the party. Her arsenal of attacks is as cutesy as it is effective, featuring hearts and pineapples that pack a surprising punch. Perisie is likely the fastest character in the game, but she starts at a very low level. Her defense is minimal, and her attack power is modest at best. She only becomes truly useful later in the game when she learns powerful techniques. One of her standout contributions is enabling the acquisition of the coveted Bunny Whistle item. When it comes to Abilities, Perisie excels at Music and performs reasonably well in most other areas, with the exception of Writing. Obtaining Perisie To recruit Perisie, Milly must be in your party, and you must have the Ocarina item (obtained shortly after completing the Velcant Lair). Then, initiate a Private Action in Clato. Note: At some point, the game will no longer allow PAs in Clato, so timing is crucial. Once in Clato, talk to the cat and choose a name. Equip the Ocarina and play it by pressing A, and Perisie will join your party. |
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). |
