I was just wondering if the story of the second one follows the stroy of the first. I want to get the second game, but the first one got bad reviews.

The first one is really good so....but Star Ocean is like Final Fantasy, they don't have a continuing story, so you can just jump right into the second if you want.

They have minor references mainly fan service but nothing major. They are all stand alone games, and the first one is really good.

Second Evolution does have some First Departure spoilers in the intro, but you do not need to play the first game to enjoy the second.

One other thing...FD lasts around 20 hours, while SE should last maybe 50-60 (assuming both sides are completed).

SO1 didn't get bad reviews, unless a 74 average on metacritic is suddenly bad. It's a great game, you shouldn't just skip it and go straight to the sequel.
