Star Ocean: The Divine Force – All Es’owa Rivals

Keep reading to learn about all the Es’owa mini-game rivals you can face in Star Ocean: The Divine Force.

No JRPG ever feels complete without the presence of in-game mini-games that are either too complex or too addicting. If it’s not done right, players may go on to finish the entire game without ever caring about their existence.

And if done properly, it can set you on a wild goose chase of wanting to track down every opponent you can find and take up every challenge you can win across the open world.

The latter may be the case for Star Ocean: The Divine Force’s one and only mini-game, Es’owa, which is a unique tabletop game featuring popular characters from previous Star Ocean games as “pawns.” These pawns can be strategically placed to attack and defeat your opponent in a turn-based style.

As such, the first to drop their opponent’s HP to 0 wins. The core concept of Es’owa is to build a strong deck and defeat the enemy in a tile-based strategy game.

Whether you’re playing the story as Laeticia or Raymond, you’ll meet plenty of Es’owa enthusiasts looking for a challenge. Of course, not all of them are equally difficult to defeat, as their Es’owa proficiency levels vary.

The Es’owa rivals you will face across the galaxy can hold any title, starting from a Beginner to an Apprentice, Expert, Lv1 to Lv8 Master, Grand Master, or Grand Champion. If you find and defeat every Es’owa opponent across the universe, you’ll finally be able to take down the Battle-God rank holder to claim the title for yourself.

Although The Divine Force doesn’t force players to play Es’owa, it’s still a great addition to the game. Sure, you’ll need to defeat at least one opponent, preferably the Undefeated Boy, to complete the Es’owa Initiation side quest.

Moreover, you’ll also unlock the hidden trophy/achievement called “The Start of Something Big” for beating your first opponent. Furthermore, defeating Es’owa opponents is a fun way of earning some quick cash (Fol) in the game. Lastly, if you want to build a strong deck, defeating different opponents is the fastest way of scoring new pawns for your deck.

If you wish to claim the spot of the reigning Es’owa Champion across galaxies, then we are here to help ease your search. This guide will list every Es’owa rival you must defeat to become the Es’owa Battle God in Star Ocean: The Divine Force, along with where to find them.
