Who to start with?

[ShowOfTimes]

This will be my first time ever playing SO2, so I was wondering who would be better to start as?

I know there are some characters you can only get depending on who you start as but is there any real difference in the story?

Unless it's different in the remake, swords are the most op weapons in the game, so I usually go with Rena because you can recruit additional sword user.

Combat has been significantly overhauled. It's still questionable if melee uses beat casters, but casters seem like they aren't useless anymore.
But with that said, Rena's recruit able character is infinitely cooler than Claude's.

Why wait until Rena to play Universe? Real gamers play hardest difficulty on fresh run.

Claude if you're a furry, Rena if you're normal.

On serious note, since casters got a total re-do in this version taking them is no longer a waste of a spot so Claude doesn't have that one useless recruit anymore. Makes picking a protagonist much harder this go around.

Personally I've never picked Claude because in the older versions the choice between Leon or Dias was a no brainer. The fact casters have all been re-done to not be so useless makes me actually want to try Celine or Noel for the last spot but I can't decide if having Noel for back-up heals is worth spending the first 10-20 hours with only Rena and Claude.

Both get Claude who is pretty much the best dps in the game due to early op weapons so it basically comes down to the choice of do you want a cat boy caster or a daddy swordsman?

Agreed.

Thanks for all the input everyone. Still haven't decided yet, but lots of good food for thought. May wind up flipping a coin do decide. lol

You have a very weird definition of "furry" if "human looking kid with cat ears" is "furry".

Also, ew. Why?!

His second paragraph made it clear he wasn't being serious.

So Dias Flac for Rena Claude for Leon . Also Claude second playthrough so you can pickpocket for battle suits. Make sure to spam all skills for proficiency to get the master level of them. I have 500 hours on original. Also max out pickpocket first play through.

Well Noel is fine but if he wants a solid team. He should go Rena that way he can do second play through for battle suits. Not to mention ashton and dias are on par with Claude. True Claude's ripper blast is insanely op maxed out. Ashtons maxed out sword dance with valorant boots op. Dias FBS is really good too. Claude's new voice will take time for me.

Voice Collection isn't a thing in this version.

the correct way to say that would be simply to tell people to check their innate property at a new game to be sure they have the pickpocket trait.
