CLEARANCE::STANDARD

A former rookie reporter who helped defeat the Ten Wise Men. Somewhat of a scatterbrain, she is nevertheless known in the office for her tough and go-getting attitude.

She's currently found all over the place, working as a camerawoman on the front line of Galactic Federation battles. After the events of Star Ocean: Second Story, Chisato has found it hard to adjust to life on Expel. She jumps at the opportunity to help Precis find Ernest and Opera.

// tactical_assessment
Chisato's special field skill "Photography" is needed for 100% completion — it provides a picture for each entry in the Monster Book. She is also a super strong and fast melee character, held back by her combo animation and low defense. She also lacks any sort of a ranged attack, so she isn't the most useful versus foes that cannot be stunlocked.
Skill Balance Graph
Skill Balance Graph — No one can master every skill in Blue Sphere. The graph gives a visual representation of how many skill points are in each of the four categories: Tec, Int, Btl, or Sen. Go too far in one direction and you'll find that you can no longer unlock skills in the opposite direction's category.
