Fol, also stylized as FOL, is the recurring universal currency of the Star Ocean series. It can be obtained by defeating enemies in battles, selling items to shops, as a reward, or found in treasure chests. It is used to buy items, such as weapons, armor, and consumables.

Appearances[]

Star Ocean/Star Ocean: First Departure[]

In Star Ocean First Departure Fol is relativley easy to come as some early game enemies drop a decent amount. For the most part Fol is used to buy better equipment for your party like weapons and armour as well as other supplies like food, consumables and skill books from the skill guilds.

Fol is also used to buy materials used in Item creation like cooking ingredients, tools and compounding regents.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time[]

In Star Ocean Till the End of Time Fol is a bit harder to come by in the earlier parts of the game, enemies drop a small amount and some items in the shops cost quite a bit but luckily there are a few ways to earn more.

Fully exploring field maps between towns yields 1/144 scale bunnies which sell for 9000 fol each and early on in the game this is a lot. Filling the Bonus Battle Gauge with a major attack will give you double fol per battle as long as it doesnt break and some items that you create can actually sell for double the amount but that only becomes an option a bit after you reach the Town of Peterny.

Fol is again used to buy better weapons and armour for your party along with supplies like food and consumables. Not a lot of shops offer materials to be bought as they are mostly found within chests or dropped from enemies.

Most of you Fol will be used in Item Creation to create new items or upgrade existing one's and to recruit other inventors.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope[]

In Star Ocean The Last Hope Fol is once again used primarily to buy new gear for your party and while Item Creation itself doesn't cost any money, the materials needed to create them does.

As in Star Ocean 3 you can acquire bonus Fol from battle, by defeating multiple enemies with a single attack you gain 1 yellow tile, for each yellow tile you will recieve 10% more Fol after the end of the battle up to 140%. Certain foods can also be consumed to give additional Fol on top of that.

FOL is used along with the game's premium currency, gems. Completing battle missions rewards the player with fixed amounts of FOL. Enhancing weapons, characters and accessories requires FOL in addition to the correct materials. Obtaining and selling ingots is a quick way to amass FOL, with Platinum Ingots being the most valuable (they are valued at 100,000 FOL each).

Earning certain amounts of FOL is required for various permanent and time-limited achievements, among which there are several that give FOL as rewards as well.
