Best party comp in Star Ocean 2 Remake

There are many playable characters in Star Ocean The Second Story R, but you can only have four of them in your party at a time. In order to have the best chance of winning each battle, you'll need the best party composition possible.

Best composition in The Second Story R

Back when the original The Second Story came out, most who played it recommended the Three-Fighter plus Rena party composition. It looks like is still a pretty good way to go; three melee characters along with someone with healing powers is also a great way to build for taking down even the most challenging bosses. Claude is the strongest fighter in the game, with Chisato in close second. I like to add either Rena or Opera to the party, then any fighter as the fourth. My personal favorite party is Claude, Chisato, Rena, and Ashton.
