Pericci is a playable character in Star Ocean, its remake Star Ocean: First Departure, and the spin-off Star Ocean: Anamnesis.

Star Ocean

Pericci is proficient in using knuckles as weapons. She is able to equip cloth armor and bikinis (which are an exclusive armor type to Lesser Fellpools). The Cat Fang, Xtra Knuckles and Kitty Hairband are exclusive to her. Her movement speed is classified as agile (★★★★), being tied with T'nique.

Pericci is notable for her very support-oriented arts, such as Healing Dance and Magic Dance, which can restore HP and MP for the party members, respectively. Unfortunately, those arts don't affect Pericci herself. Additionally, her offensive arts are a bit lacking and don't offer a high damage output compared to other fighters, on top of many having long startup. However, with maxed proficiency, her Air Kisses can pretty much cover the entire battlefield as she shoots seven hearts.

With the Cat Fang knuckles, Pericci can easily daze and stunlock opponents with her normal attacks, since the weapon adds two extra hits. In addition, she can equip the Gale Earring, which adds one extra hit to normal attacks, making her a fantastic melee-only fighter.

Recruiting Pericci allows the player to obtain the Bunny Whistle, which can be used to call a bunny to travel across the World Map, faster than on foot while completely avoiding enemy encounters. One must do a Private Action in Portmith first and then another in Haute to obtain this item.

Recruitment

The party first get to meet Pericci if the player chooses to explore the Pirates' Hideout dungeon behind the Velkhent Pirates' boss after defeating him. There they may free Pericci, who when back at Portmith runs away from the party and drops a shiny object on the ground—her Ocarina. The player must make sure you pick it up before leaving the docks area, otherwise there won't be another opportunity to obtain it.

Once the Emblems quest starts, the player can return to Kraat and start a PA. Roddick talks to Millie, and must choose Pericci when given an option of three names in the conversation. Then the player must equip Roddick with the Ocarina, and play it near the cat. Pericci will then join if there are seven or fewer characters in the party, with Millie included.

If, when learning that the Velkhent Pirates are preventing sea travel at Portmith, one chooses to "wait for some good news" and/or stay at the inn twenty times, the player will not be able to obtain the Ocarina and recruit Pericci.
