Plot
Taking place 2 years after Star Ocean: The Second Story and the defeat of the 10 Wise Men, all the characters have since moved on with their lives. Claude has taken Rena, Leon, and Precis to live on Earth with him. Ashton, Celine, Dias, Noel, Chisato, and Bowman still live on Planet Expel. Ernest and Opera are treasure hunting when their ship crash lands on Planet Edifice. Opera manages to send out an S.O.S. to Precis, who then rounds up the entire gang (sans Claude and Rena, who are on a Federation mission) in her self-built ship and heads to the planet. They are also mysteriously pulled down through the planet's atmosphere and crash-land. They decide to explore their surroundings and search for their missing comrades, hoping that Claude and Rena will rescue them, but they too crash-land on Edifice later on in the game.
Now 21 years old, Claude C. Kenni takes Rena, Precis and Leon with him to live on Earth after the events of Star Ocean: The Second Story. After helping Precis and Leon settle, he returns to the Earth Federation with a real job along with Rena. While constantly being sent on missions into space, Claude's relationship with Rena doesn't change much at all.
When Precis receives the SOS from Opera, Claude and Rena are on a mission and cannot assist immediately. Once the mission is complete, they travel together to Edifice where their ship is pulled through the planet's atmosphere and they crash. Claude is separated from Rena and contracts a deadly illness. He is bedridden in a nearby village and it's up to the player to find the herb that will cure his sickness.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
