Star Ocean: The Second Story is an action role-playing video game developed by tri-Ace and published by Enix for the PlayStation. It is the second game in the Star Ocean series and the first game in the series to be released outside Japan, arriving in North America in June 1999 and Europe in April 2000, by Sony Computer Entertainment. Taking place in a science fantasy universe, the story centers around a young man named Claude C.

There, he meets several companions and must stop a plot from an evil organization that spans multiple worlds before finding his way home. The game was the basis of manga and anime adaptations. A remake, titled Star Ocean: The Second Story R and developed by Gemdrops, was released for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows on November 2, 2023.

This is a role-playing game in which players control heroes attempting to save their planet from destruction. From a third-person perspective, players explore various worlds while performing quests and battling enemies (e.g., bandits, beasts, lizards, phantoms). Players use swords, guns, sticks, and melee-style attacks to defeat enemies. Combat can be fast-paced at times, highlighted by gunfire, impact sounds, and explosions. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and/or blood: a character injured by a bomb; a character shooting a firebolt at another; bodies lying in pools of blood. The dialogue contains some innuendo and suggestive material (e.g., “You little pervert”; “I didn't know you had a voyeur fetish”; “I'm just amazed how big and meaty yours are, Rena”; "How about I try poking them some more?”). During the course of the game, players can encounter drunken characters slurring and hiccupping in taverns. The words “bastard” and “p*ss” appear in the game.
