Star Ocean Archive
Welcome to my site cataloguing Star Ocean collectibles and merchandise. Although I mostly focus on Second Story and it's franchise, I will slowly add information for the rest of the Star Ocean series. Here I aim to provide a resource for other collectors, reviews, and archive any lost media. I also sell doubles / extras from my personal collection at times.
On this main page will be updates with my collection photos below. Wishlist will show items I'm actively looking for. Please select Archives to view downloads, interviews, ect. Select shop to see my extra Star Ocean merchandise for sale.
If you are interested in contributing to the website, please use my contact form. Thank you!
