Events (イベント, Ibento?) are an activity in Star Ocean: Anamnesis. Events are typically marked by the opening of a time-limited series of missions, coupled with the addition of new summonable units and weapons that hold an advantage in the featured missions, as well as exchangeable items and useful materials.
Timed events[]
These events are time-limited. Most events run on two-week intervals unless otherwise noted to the start of a following event, with Misery 2 and higher missions arriving in the second week:
- Boss events - The player's party faces off against one preselected boss at progressive difficulties. Rewards may be given for kills completed during the event period, as well as for participation in story missions. May drop exchange currency.
- Special events - Players traverse a scenario map as in the main game, which may be based on a previous game, or may be an original event. Players must complete prior missions to unlock new paths through the story, increasing in difficulty as the stories progress. As with boss events, rewards may be given for bosses killed and story segments completed, though not all missions will have a boss. May drop exchange currency.
- Achievement events - These events are usually released as companion stories to a larger event. There are no battles, but there are achievements to collect during the event period, which include a featured unit and materials.
Material missions[]
