remember me /v/ ?
>>344735137
Yeah
You were alright but not as good as PSO
I heard about you.
>>344735137
I was top 500 in that event in NA and got a gun named after me.
I quit cuz that event killed me.
Servers died so it was all for naught.
>>344735635
what was the gun called ?
>>344735137
yes
you were given away on xbox 360 and i love you for it
i wish your hot sister would come to NA
You gave me my fetish for space elves.
I remember all the content locked away on your disc that can no longer be accessed due to Sega tying it all in with the now dead online mode.
I want to go back to the casino.
>>344737369
aren't there private servers that you can use ?
ah yes i bought you on a random spur for my ps2 back in the day. SOOO much fun the expansion pack is very pricy now so i'm glad i picked that up at launch. It was cross play with pc so i brought my ps2 over to a friends and jammed all night on it.
Best game I've ever played. Tons of content, fun events, good customization, theres a lot to hunt and do gameplay wise, and the socialization. I miss it so much and will play the shit out of Clementine once it comes out. Itll never be the same though...

>>344738059
It's been a while, but I recall that they were in the process of trying to make private servers. They didn't exist yet.
>>344735137
I do. No matter the problems you had you are still better then the shitfest that is pso2
>>344739889
whats wrong with pso 2 ?
>>344740024
It is forbidden to like a PSO game on /v/ until it's completely dead.
>>344740178
isn't that with most mmos ?
>>344735137
I remember this game. I used to spam that twin blade drill move and kill everyone.

>>344740024
Everything about it is tied to RNG or a shitty schedule that expects you to play at Sega's pace.
That schedule means we're lacking challenging content that makes full use of the game mechanics.
Barely any thought went into designing skill trees or the new classes.
Not enough variation in weapons to justify the grind expected of you.
The core is fine. People will be more positive about the game when ep4 is over with.
>>344741225
this. I dont even think the core is fine. it feels to fast for some reason. PSUs pacing was a lot better
is the pso anime worth a shit ?
>>344742990
Hope you're not expecting it to be about the game itself, its about a bunch of kids who play PSO2 or something.

It's amazingly shit.

Please tell me you played on 360/pc too
>>344735137
I liked the cheesy Saturday-morning cartoon episodes.
I didn't like grinding through half-hour long dungeons because I was forced to use the shitty Hunter Ethan rather than my good characters, though.
Fucking shit up with a spear was fun, though.
When are the Phantasy Star online games just all going to show up on GoG or something? I get some serious nostalgia for these titles and am surprised that Sega doesn't want my money. Well, at least a little bit disappointed.

>you'll probably need to make 10 even if you succeed because of percents
>you'll probably need to make 100 of any given item because you'll explode them trying to grind them up to usable levels, or after the 'fix' just wind up with a crippled item with low +s
The rest of the game was alright but those things fucking sucked.

>>344748417
is pso2 easy to set up?
>>344735137
So fucking hyped for this shit......bought me energy drinks. Stayed up for 3days straight playing it. Pretty shit game though.
Felt like they just made the cities and forgot what to do next. No clue how they made a worse looking both graphics wise and aesthetic wise in fields compared to PSO.
>>344748458
The only hard part is the captcha but now you can just draw the characters in google translate and copy paste so its pretty easy.
>tfw doing the hoverboard race with friends online
>>344748417
Lot of english players still play it?. Played quite a bit when it was open beta to release. few hundred hours or so. Last time i was on all i did was unlocked gunner and dick around for 10hours or so.
>>344748687
Yeah there's still a bunch of english players. Ship 2 is still the unofficial english ship.
What is PSO/PSU exactly? I remember some friends playing them, but I was too busy and invested into FFXI to play any other MMO/online games
How do they work/what would you compare them to?
>>344748513
Gotta admit though the missions where you go back to Ragol were pretty fucking awesome also the music was just as good as PSO in some spots.

>>344748952
True for some of the music. Was nice to play the ragol maps again, but it just didn't feel right....:_:
>>344749358
There is going to be a crossover event for XIV they just haven't said anything other than "They're working on it and are going to match the quality of the content they added to PSO2" iirc
>>344749508
well i hope it's fun,also i hope people who played pso2 had fun getting murdered by odin
>>344735137
I love that opening theme even though I can't understand the lyrics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ9GjltpObQ
>>344749562odin wasn't hard, he dies before you see half of his attacks unless you have a really shit party.
>>344749741
oh well thats disappointing
>>344749797
That's sort of how it always is in PSO2. Either your party is good and endgame content is nonexistent, or everyone is bad and it's really hard. Odin is more pathetic than Persona during the PD fight, since Persona at least fights before unleashing the party wipe attack. Odin just sits there for you to pump out DPS. He isn't fast, either, so melee classes don't have the problems they face with most of the native PSO2 content with him.
better than
PSO2
to be honest
PSP2i
was
good too
>>344750384
PSP2i has been the only good PS game since PSO.
Everything else has been way too anime and lost the themes that made PSO so interesting.
>>344750461
You do play games before talking about them, right?
>>344750461
PSO/U was always anime
WHO SAID WE ARE LOST AGAIN IN THIS LONELY WORLD?
>>344750461
Nah, psu was better than the psp games. The psp games are simply good so you can recreate your characters and never worry about them being gone again
Excuse me while I drop in the comfiest place in the game.
>>344750824I SAY WE CAN START AGAIN
>>344748513
Sega's always been lazy about the fields. Most japs are. Their MO is to shortcut ground graphics - even newer games often have absolutely horrible, low res ground tiling and sparse vegetation.
I guess it's the only way they know how to improve performance.
>>344735137
>WHITE BEAST WHITE BEAST WHITE BEAST WHITE BEAST WHITE BEAST
I loved this game more than pso2 solely because of the beast race. Being able to transform was hella cool. Pso2 doesn't even have SUVs for Cast. Fucking dropped.
MAG was the hypest event ever. Some of the best times right there.
>>344751160
More like using the ps2 as a base limited what they could do with graphics. Shouldve been 360/ps3/pc. fucking garbage ass ps2 held down everything.
>>344751239
It's not just them, and it's not just PSO2. This is standard in the japanese games industry period.
It's the japanese's shit development skills that hold them back.
>>344751207
I hated how I could return to the game after a year or two break and White Beast was still the #1 mission. It was really disappointing.
And MAG was fun maybe the first time, not the next 3
>>344751301
PSU I meant to say. PSO2 came to mind because the ground tiling is the same as PSO1, and it looks especially awful even compared to what's already an awful practice.
>>344751352
Also 1Up Cup and that shitty winter event were the best
>>344751301
Not always. Segas own hedgehog engine makes games like sonic unleashed look absolutely incredible and pixar like. Generations and lost world are clean. AM2 stuff is always efficient and smooth. Japan is pretty garbage at developing and scheduling but its not all terrible
>>344740178
Cry more you weeb shitter
Of the Phantasy Star series, 1, 2, 4, (I liked 3 but I get that others didn't), PSO & PS0 are the only good games. PS0 was how the online gameplay should have advanced but instead we get PSP and PSO2
Fuck this world
There was something about PSU that I really loved. I knew that the game was shit the whole time, but I kept playing it. The atmosphere and music were on point. The lobby system was pretty well done. I loved finishing missions and heading to a new lobby to see other people hanging around who have recently done the same. The combat wasn't that great and the monsters were client side (or desync'd I suppose), but it still kinda fun if you didn't consider it too much of an action game. Transformations and SUVs were awesome. Magic was pretty sweet too, but it required a fuck ton of grinding.
I suppose cute would've been a good way to describe it. It's too bad the game came out in the era where F2P games were really starting to come around instead of during it. The monthly fee really limited the playerbase for what should've been a buy2play game. Too bad, really.
I tried PSO2 a few times, but I just can't get into it. It feels like a generic action game without a lot of soul. These days I have moved onto Monster Hunter instead.
>>344751558
>PS0
>good
This is literal bait.
>>344751656
>literal bait
>a perfect upgrade to PSO's gameplay with the classes, dodging and the charged specials
B-but there wasn't so much c-content j-just like Phantasy Star Online when it first came out on DC waaaaaaaaaah
>>344751739
>>344751558
The problem was a game like ps is fucking stupid idea on the ds. maybe if it was on a real console that could produce 3D graphics, itd have controlled and played better. but looking at that game in motion is like looking at 3D gba game. its torture to play and look at it
>>344751739
Lack of content is a perfectly justifiable reason to not give a shit about that game.
I don't want to be doing the same shit over and over all day.
>>344751829
It's not too bad on Desmume while using OnTopReplica to put the UI onto a single screen.
>>344751739
Its gameplay is watered down PSP and is basically nothing like PSO. The only similarity it has to PSO is that you are locked into a single class after selecting it.
It's a bit funny when people complain about PA spam in PSU or PSO2 and then say that a game that revolves around PA spam is good.
>>344751608
Unlike the other games, PSU got surprisingly in depth with cultural stuff. It was a genuinely interesting work in that regard, like they almost wanted to make it an actual RPG but were told not to.
>lobby system pretty well done
I don't know how you can even think that though. If it wasn't for the rampant hacking and neglect, staggered field lobbies would've been the single worst thing about the game.
Combining that with it's shit comm system was horrible game design.
>>344751023WE'RE ON THE SAME SHIP
>>344751831
>I don't want to be doing the same shit over and over all day.
You mean just like in every Phantasy Star game?
>>344751829
>real console
Like the PSP? Lmao. Sony couldn't even bother to put games on the thing that weren't ports of their shitty franchises that nobody cares about
Then they repeat it over again with the Vita
>>344751913
>nothing like PSO
>plays exactly like PSO but with dodging and specials
>complains about spamming in PSO
Try harder you faggot. PSP were shit games
I liked universe better than PSO honestly. It was so much more polished.
>>344752009
>You mean just like in every Phantasy Star game?
Yes, I do.
The difference is that the other games have way more shit to do before you finally get tired of it.
>>344751953
The only people who say it wasnt an an rpg are the people who didnt play it. There were tons of builds, stats, classes, weapons, and pas to consider. No, you playing it for an hour on the 360 demo and saying its shit compared to pso doesnt count as an in depth review of the games mechanics and time attacking capability.
>>344751953
>like they almost wanted to make it an actual RPG
What the fuck am I reading?
>>344752107
>looks back on folder full of old screenshots in windows user directory
Sure buddy, whatever helps you feel uncucked.
>>344752087
You mean grind for, because there were the same amount of levels as in PSO, just less items and weapons to hunt for
A lot of 'content' in PSO is just plain grinding. We all only put up with it because we were young and the aesthetics were top tier
>>344752165
Cool, then learn to play the game better because you obviously are garbage at it if thats your final conclusion
>>344735137
>servers shut down a month before I got it
Still a bummer I mean I still beat the main campaign
>>344752272
Game's been down for years. You really think I've been sitting here with it still installed, waiting for the day some pantshitting fag on /v/ challenges me to play it some more because he can't stand a negative opinion?
Good god, anon. Get fucked.
>>344752047
Same here. I think psu was better than pso in every way except music. Much better memories of psu than pso. I played pso a good amount on xbox but when psu came out on the 360, I was instantly hooked and played every day for years, always awaiting the next update or event that was planned, while hunting for materials or boards to sell, or leveling up pas and different classes, or chilling in my room and setting up a shop and decorating it.
PSU literally is a straight up sequel to pso with more action and content. It moved at just the right speed and blended the art between phantasy star and anime just right. Whereas pso2 goes full anime and the game feels like it moves at hyper speed.
It was my most played 360 game, with over 8000 marked hours in game. One of the best periods of my life ever and I'd give anything for it to come back.
>>344749741
What... Why are Miku and Luka in PSO2?
Don't make me download this game
>>344752607
Because it's a crossover cash shop event. the game is more cash shop updates than game content at this point. At least I have dragons dogma online.
>>344752508
I can stand a negative opinion if its actually true and makes sense. There is stats, multiple classes, photon arts, races, and weapon, armor, and unit upgrades to take into consideration when playing the game. It is a traditional rpg that is action based. You turning around and saying none of this exists proves that you might be the pantshitting retard here. You casually played the english pc/ps2 version, the absolute worst version of them all by far. I know your type exactly. Garbage ass scrubs who couldnt get good at a simple game and so you go online and cry about how much better pso was because your nostalgia autism clouds rational thought. Grow up and get a better memory, fagboat
>>344752741
And instantly lost interest. I had a feeling that was the case.Can you interact with them or look up their skirts?
>>344752009
PS0 plays literally nothing like PSO. It revolves around Photon Arts, just like PSU, has dodge roll that makes positioning (one of the main aspects of combat in PSO) irrelevant, your weapon is just an ATP/MST stick for its overpowered PA, and weapon element never matters if it isn't level 3-5 Celeb.
It isn't more true to PSO just because it's clunkier than PSU or PSP games.
>>344752813
Its from a concert. PSO2 has concerts every once in a while.
You can make your character look like miku if you want, can even go install a nude mod if you want
>>344752813
They used to perform during events sometime in 2015, but they don't anymore. I don't think you could interact with them, either, so no upskirts unless you dress your waifu in their clothes.
>>344752927
>make your character look like miku
Fuck, interest is rising again. Like, just look similar to her and having her hair or something?
Or is her outfit in game to wear?
I need more details, please.
>>344753029
outfit and hair.
enjoy spending real money for a chance at it :^)
>>344738059
There's a project called PSU Clementine, but I think it's invite-only closed testing at this point
>>344751970IT'S CALLED STARSHIP EARRRRRRRRRTH
>>344753114
>>344753020
FUCK, and I imagine that's the only way to get it, some RNG nonsense?Is the nude mod any good?
>>344753029
Her outfits are from an obsolete scratch, so prepare to shell out tons of meseta if you want your own meeku.
>>344753114
>real money
You what?
>>344753029
>
>>344753114
You can use meseta and buy them off the player market.since its a hairstyle (one time use ticket to put the hair option in your salon) its gonna cost a lot, the costume though shouldnt be too expensive
>>344753274
>>344753262
Hmmm, I'm thinking about it.
Maybe I'll ask my weeb friend who's played PSO2 for years and is fluent in moon. Although pretty sure he's left for XIV
>>344735137
PC version had a bunch of hackers. I went on some forum and jokingly asked for some meseta delivered to my room. Some guy actually visited my room like 30 mins later and gave me the meseta cap which was 999999999
Used that meseta to buy every OP weapon in the game from player shops and it ended up screwing up the economy. People were charging half a billion meseta for just one S rank weapon.
>>344735137
PSO was better in retrospect. I hated the crafting system in PSU. It took days online to have a CHANCE to successfully make or fail making an item which was needed to make ANOTHER item. Nobody wanted to trade in PSU like they did in PSO either, people would rather sell you overpriced weapons/armor for meseta than trade for item equivalent. I miss the photon drops and trading economy from PSO.
Double Sabers were best weapon
Also those SUV weapons you got as a Cast were pretty cool. Summon a Gatling gun and just blast through waves of enemies.
>>344745927
Where's Infinity?
Been playing PSO2 for a few weeks. It's got a lot of problems due to episode 4; but you can ignore most of that after you get your feet wet and finish all of Koffie's client orders. There IS some depth into the classes and subclass bits and mixing up certain classes with certain weapons opens up how you engage in solo quests. Yeah, the schedule thing is weird, but it's not mandatory for you to join until you feel the need to start minmaxing and farming 10*s for excubes. The cash shop is a bit much at times but it can be ignored completely with FUN scratch items that allow you to sell stuff. The FFIV event is actually really cool and less RNG based like most others and gives me that PSOBB special quest vibe.
It's fun to play by yourself with a few buffbots and if you want to participate with others for the emergency quests, you can do that too. Almost anything you want is obtainable if you're clever about it. I say it's worth a try.

>hating something from japan for being way too anime
I met my best friend online on that game. We played the demo constantly on Xbox 360 like 6 years ago. It was such a great time. I'd invite random people into parties and we met people that way. Met some crazy ass fucks. Everybody just chilled on the highest floor and in Neudaiz. I'd play it every single day and one day everything just fucked up and they turned the servers off. Sad day.
