Augmentation (Anamnesis)

Augmentation (進化, Shinka?, lit. Evolution) is a feature in Star Ocean: Anamnesis that enables characters to increase their rarity. The new rarity not only raises their level limit and increases their status parameters when at their maximum level, it also increases the number of talents available to them and adds their final battle skill. Augmenting requires characters to be at their maximum level, FOL and the use of augmentation materials. The level of augmented characters resets to 1 after the process. The player must do this at the 'Augment' option on the Character menu.

The feature is not initially available and must be unlocked by completing Mission 2-31 "Who Is Responsible?" on Esperance, which marks the end of Episode 1's second chapter.
