Man, I want this to be proper, but can't imagine it being anything other than your typical gachapon game.

That alone wouldn't be so bad for me, but what would scare me the most would be that it doesn't make it over here at all. Given that no new Phantasy Star games are making it over.

Sega JP had a decent Soul Reverse mobile game that never made it over either.

Final title is IDOLA : PHANTASY STAR SAGA
From the screenshot, looks like it's a turn based game, just like the classic Phantasy Star.

Oh man.  I want this so bad.

I can't believe it's not a gachapon game.

I would have preferred a 3rd person rear view for the battles, but whatever. I'd play it in a heartbeat.

Polygon Interview with Yuji Naka (producer) and Takao Miyoshi (director) on Phantasy Star Online 20th Anniversary

Quote
Yuji Naka : "The MAG system was initially supposed to involve a fully fleshed-out, animated pet-like creature, but due to various reasons, we had to limit this pet to an object floating over your shoulder. In early concept presentations of PSO, we had a monster-like creature that evolved over the progression of the game. If that idea had been greenlit, we might have seen a different type of PSO game."

Takao Miyoshi : "There were a few things that we couldn’t accomplish in PSO. I mentioned earlier that an early concept was to have the players start on islands and to travel to other islands to discover and explore. Another thing was to have your own room and make your own shop, display items for sale, etc. These were ideas that were dropped early in the planning stages of PSO, but we were able to include [them] in PSU."

Back in the day when Phantasy Star Online was announced, they said you would be able to play online with anyone around the world.
That is correct, anywhere, even Japan.
In today’s world, that isn’t that exciting.
But imagine being a kid in the late 90’s that didn’t own a computer growing up?

If you haven’t played Phantasy Star II, then you might not want to read on.
To me the character of Nei was always that one person in the game who you cheered for.
You wanted her life to get better. But why was her life so screwed up?

European Release's Coming Soon

Quote
I gave the game a try for an hour yesterday and found it to be pretty good,
though I have to admit that the setting and art style is quite different from the Phantasy Star we know from the Mega Drive/Genesis originals and Online series.
Dark Falz plays a part and there are rappys, though, so its not completely detached from the series.

"Given how many real people you interact with in Phantasy Star Online, being a badass hacking haxxor can not only ruin the game for others, but can also alert SEGA and in turn lead to a speedy banning.
That was, however, back in the day.
Now, the Dreamcast PSO servers are all but dead and the PC community is far from official, making hacking much easier.
I’ll admit, I’m not bad enough to know how to hack PSO."

Here's some of screenshots of Idola Phantasy Star Saga
At first I was hesitant to play it since I didn't like the art style,
but now they grew up on me because the voice acting is just so good..
The perfect voice acting really helps to make the characters feel alive.

The gameplay may be just generic turn based RPG with gacha elements,
but it's really fun to play and it has unique law and chaos system.
Law believing in justice and order, while Chaos emphasizing freedom and equality.
Their power sources are different too, law characters use runes while chaos characters use fests.
They can't fight within the same party because their different source of power will cancel each other.
Our main character, Uly, is the rare neutral of course. His power couldn't be cancelled.

Overall I gave this game 8 of 10. And 10 of 10 for its (Japanese) voice acting.

Phantasy Star Online 2 - Episode 5 Announcement Trailer :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAUKP7VVS8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAUKP7VVS8)

In Episode 5, following the aid of those on Earth, players discover a mysterious portal that leads to another dimension, called "Omega." This world seems driven purely by fantasy, a world of swords and magic instead of technology and science. The two worlds are in direct contrast with each other, and as the story progresses, players will frequently move between them while observing the strange similarities these worlds share. Simultaneously, a mysterious woman who calls herself "Alma" appears, and she seems to have information about Omega and–strangely–about ARKS.
Episode 5 brings a lot of new content and features including increasing the player level cap to 90, new ARKS missions and areas to explore, new enemy types, new quest types with new rewards, new seasonal events, new Alliance Quarters, and more. Photon Art and Technique levels will increase, and additional Photon Art, Techniques, and Battle Arena weapons will be added.

“I think for the next one, we may go with a concept close to the Mega Drive Mini. If I have to say some names, it could be an SG-1000 Mini or a Dreamcast Mini…” (Yosuke Okunari)

If Dreamcast Mini is really gonna happened, then Phantasy Star Online should be in it. It's got to be. :)

While the Japanese theme had some happy background music that I can’t quite place from the Dream Passport internet application, the western theme has the incredibly iconic Phantasy Star Online lobby music.
It may sound like I’m fanboying out over this, and I probably am, but man does the inclusion of that music make this theme a must own for any Dreamcast owner who has fond memories of 2am PSO play sessions.
Not only did this music ensure that you have properly connected your console to the internet, but it was also the beginning of the adventure.
Picture chat with your friends, pretend to be a Japanese girl, trade some guild cards, form a team, and hit the forest of Ragol for some rare blue Al Rappys.

Phantasy Star Generation:4 is a comprehensive relocalization (and for most of the story text, a retranslation), utilizing fan-translated PS scripts and resources and PS team interviews.
As SEGA canceled “Phantasy Star Generation:4″ many years ago, this project aimed to create a definitive, series-ending Phantasy Star experience.

1993 Phantasy Star (SMS) Developer Interview

(https://segaretro.org/images/4/4b/GoSegaIconPresentCampaign_252.png)

Quote
Phantasy Star was made during the Master System era, so there were restrictions in both the sounds available and the memory available.
It was very difficult, but also very fun.
The sounds from that game were a result of experimenting, trying this and that… not the kind of sounds you could create if you just relied on your theoretical knowledge.
Even today Phantasy Star stands out as some of the most memorable work I did.

1989 Phantasy Star II Developer Interview

(https://segaretro.org/images/9/92/GoSegaIconPresentCampaign_254.png)

Quote
We made Phantasy Star II with almost the same staff from the original, but unlike the previous development, there was a ton of pressure this time to make the first RPG for the new Megadrive hardware.
We wanted to contend with the new possibilities opened up by the Megadrive.
To that end, we spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the game even more “Phantasy Star”-ish than before.
We abandoned the 3D dungeons due to memory constraints, but in turn I think we were able to do more fully realized enemy animations.

1993 Phantasy Star II Developer Interview

(https://segaretro.org/images/2/2b/GoSegaIconPresentCampaign_255.png)

Quote
Another issue was related to the dungeons, which were created by a new employee.
Because he was new, he put a ton of effort into the maps and kind of overdid it… the game became more about the complex dungeons than anything else.
I think you really see that on the Dezolis dungeons.
They were really well done, and when Chieko Aoki saw them she didn’t want all the new employee’s work to be for naught, so we ended up using those maps… albeit with some mixed feelings.
They contributed to the latter half of the game being unbalanced.

1993 Phantasy Star IV Developer Interview

(https://segaretro.org/images/3/31/GoSegaIconPresentCampaign_251.png)

Quote
I think the innovation of the Phantasy Star games has mainly been in terms of graphics and visual presentation.
However, when you consider that RPGs evolved from table-top gaming, and that characters exist as something in the players’ imaginations, then the perspective that you shouldn’t display too much overtly is also correct.
For my part, though, I think the main draw of video games is their overt use of sound and visuals, and that’s what we have pursued in the Phantasy Star series.

It also depicts emotes, combat encounters, and in-game models of things that are, according to a cursory google search, referred to as oppai mousepads.

Hiroki Hamasaki (Director) About Phantasy Star Online 2 Cloud for Switch :

Quote
"There’s actually been a lot of downloads. However, not many are actually playing from there in the present situation.

And then  Satoshi Sakai (series producer) added :

Quote
"The Switch itself doesn’t have an email address and you can’t accept the email,
so we’ll make it so that you can use a smartphone or PC to accept the Sega ID registration.
I think things like are part of setting a threshold.
We plan to make adjustments so that you’ll get to play right away without making an ID."

Also he mentioned that Phantasy Star Online 2 is one of the main online RPGs in Japan,
and it is still one of Sega Games’ top level profit-earners.

Some people who are not members will see what Berto posts, even if they don't comment. This helps encourage people to be interested in Sega's products, which let's face it, haven't been doing as well as they used to be. This website is here to stay as long as Berto stays or if more people eventually start posting with Berto.

Thank you for still checking the forum.
Sure do I hope at leats member post once a week or once a month.
Doesn't have to be SEGA related, may be sharing what movie you guys watch lately or book you read on Off Topic threads.
Of course if you guys feel you would like to, no pressure at all.
I know Covid-19 pandemic hits hard and I wish you guys still managed it well.

Dark Falz might have been taken a human form before (PSO2),

For all people with weak minds, he could make them commit suicide.
In gameplay he's more dangerous since he could do that to any character in the game.

You make a good point there, but I feel like some of them might be bots. At least that's what happened to nerdforum.org. The admins there tried so hard to come up with a better security system to make it harder for spambots to create accounts, but they eventually took over the website. I just wonder if any of the old mods here read any of this (like Barry and George). I'll continue reading some stuff that you post. I would make more off-topic threads myself, but I feel like you would be the only person who would ever respond. Keep up the good work though, my friend.

Yeah, half of them are probably bots but creating account or posting (for new members) now isn't as easy as before.
We have to answered several questions first like "what's Genesis called in Japan" or "what colour is Amy Rose?"  :-D
And I think it works well since there are very few new members now. (we can see that at "latest member" info)

When battle units are damaged, they flicker three times, and the screen also flashes red three times.
Not only does this needlessly drag battles out, but the flashing is an issue for people with photosensitive-related visual problems.
Therefore, this set of patches has been made to slightly speed up battles and also eliminate the potential problems from screen flashing.

Trivia: Rappy in Phantasy Star III and IV

(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/1/19/Toyo_chirper.png)

(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/7/77/Chirper.jpg)(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/7/75/PSIV_king_rappy.jpg)

Quote
The first Rappy-like creature to be introduced into the franchise was a tiny, fluffy bird with small antennae that was known as Chirper in the English version of Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom.
It was not until its next appearance in Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium that the creature would famously be renamed Rappy and would acquire its unique quirk for being a coward when it appears to be in a losing battle

Let's say your wish is granted.
Wyndis is real.
In the game story, Wyndis is also one of the richest merchants.
She's also extremely attracted to you.
But there's a catch .....

.... you will be transformed into a girl with purple hair too.
Are you in or not?  ::)

SEGA x Cover Streaming Agreement

(https://media.tenor.com/images/41d2edb2da7f61c88a5c06dda7b2d6d3/tenor.gif)

Japanese company Cover, with which a number of popular Vtubers are affiliated, has reached a licensing agreement with Sega to allow their Vtubers to play Sega games on-stream.
Due to how Japanese copyright law gives huge amount of control to the IP owner, corporate affiliated Vtubers tend to avoid playing games they don't have an explicitly given license for.

Gelda (Christmas Special) is coming as Playable Character in Idola Phantasy Star Saga Global

Quote
Gelda is a Rosalinde's sister and of course also a Princess of Leorian Empire with a fire elemental attribute and Leo Idola type.
Because Prince Elwin is in favor of a tough policy against the Rebel Army, "consistent" with her own ideas, Gelda is ecstatic.
Considering her joy of being able to fight on the battlefield with Elwin, the envy towards her sister (Rosalinde) is negligible.
Gelda is thrilled by the dream of sweeping the enemies side by side with Elwin.

Aw.. To think that I missed the post.
For that I've read in Idola Phantasy Star Saga Discord Discussion :
PS Tetralogy, PSO, PSO2, PS Universe, PS Zero, PS Nova, and Idola ...
They are not in the same dimension/universe, meaning that they are separate continuities.
For example: Earth is already destroyed in PS II but still exist in PSO2.

But they share the same enemy : Dark Falz / Dark Force,
and they can go into other dimension using the Star Gate.
That's why Matoi, Phuramy, and Quna from PSO2 could show up to in Idola Universe,
via the Star Gate.

PS Tetralogy, PSO, PSO2, PS Universe, PS Zero, PS Nova, and Idola
That's actually more Phantasy Star games that I am aware of. The ones I'm aware of are:So that's four Phantasy Star continuities in total. With the PSO games being seperate continuities. For a long while I figured PSO2 simply takes place far away elsewhere in the same galaxy as PSO1.

Yours could be more right too.
To tell the truth, even SEGA didn't explain it well,
just like classic Sonic at Generations and Forces.
At first it was just from another timeline, but then changed from another dimension.
Anything could be retconed.

*See's MFDB Hoodie Innerwear is literally just plasters.*
Sometimes I wonder why PSO2 won't just allow nudity by now. I mean it's a 17+ rated game, with "partial nuidity" but some of the articles of clothes is really just beyond partial to barely covering the essentials and at times it feels like PSO2 is daring the users to be as scanty as they can. Like, I know there are some who don't want to see that stuff, but I don't see why not have the in-game option to set default innerwear to invisible or not.


Martial Arts Gi- Sometimes I think about roleplaying Segata Sanshiro, though I don't know nearly enough japanese to pull it off.

Since this game was made in Japan and targeted for Japan first, full nudity would be hard sell.
'Almost nudity' is the way to go, since showing nipples or private parts would be a suicide there.
Rating in Japan worked differently than in western.

I myself prefer this partial nudity than went full nude, 'cause it's more SFW to play.
Well.. it's still considered NSFW, but not 'that' NSFW.

I find it hard to believe that going full nudity would be regarded suicidal for a game where it's optional to go around with just plasters over nips and dips.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are PSO2 players who like the game itself than would rather see NSFW stuff on it and may be disuaded by it. But some of these articles of clothing are barely NSFW. Heck I've sene symbol art that's full-on 18+ NSFW and I'm like "Isn't there any quality control over that?" (Though given how difficult symbol art is I can't help but be impressed with the quality they achieved with basic shapes.) I myself am neither for or against it. I just think PSO2 should be more clear-cut on the matter, I find it hard to clearly see what PSO2 is going for on what kind of behavior it expects from it's communirt and what is acceptable. Not only is there scanty clothing, but there is emotes for sexy posing, pole dancing and one that I think is hog tying.

What I meant is, rating in Japan worked differently than in western.
If there are nipples and private parts shown in the game, the game would get CERO-Z rating.
PSO2 was also sold physically in Japan (with lot of exclusive bonuses of course).
Many game stores refuse to sell CERO-Z rating games and the ones who sell them wouldn't want to put them in display.
That would be suicidal for the sales of the physical version.

I guess, it's just some of the fashion and innerwear available in the game teeters on the edge of lewd and NSFW already. And checking the ESRB for the western release for the game it is rated Mature which is just before Adults Only so that's probably the highest they could rate it for a game with naughty bits.

Izuho 'IPPO' Numata :
"The sound work is harder if the graphics are not made at least to some extent (because you make sound effects watching the graphics), so I usually start working much later than the programmers and the artists.
In this way it’s much easier to integrate the director’s idea of the music with mine."

Yeah, life be like that sometimes.
Last year I was thinking how good my life was, with family, lot access to entertainment, and steady job.
And then pandemic strikes.... And my company where I worked announced bankrupcy.

But sometimes.. if something doesn't challenge us, it couldn't change us.
And we know that we supposed to always keep changing for better.. year after year.

I haven't played PSO2 in awhile (Still on Episode 5 and yet to achieve the Hero Class which I want) but I took a bite out of New Genesis.
I dunno the full story of New Genesis but whenever you're playing as a brand new character or continuing your old one they're both practically seperate games from the same start menu. As in If you have a Lv100 character with all the rainbow-star equipment well tough luck 'cus as a "Meteorn" you start off fresh at Lvl0 and no items or equipment other than the clothes off your back.
As for changes to the original PSO2 game... well I can tell there is new lighting and filters, perhaps even cubemapping for certain textures but the environment models still seem the same as before. As in Naverius still looks the same but a bit more shiney here and there.
As for why the current wedding theme in PSO2 lobby I dunno. Is someone who works at Sega getting married?

So I started playing PSO2 last year, a few months after Sonic's last anniversary event. So I've seen PSO2's events for Summer, Halloween, Christmas and other various events. But from all the events I've been looking forward to see is Sonic's  anniversary event.

So, here I am.

Honestly, a bit dissapointed. I mean yeah the decorations and Station Square theme is nice... but that's about it. Xia is not standing infront of the statue so that means no Sonic-themed Urgent quests or camo's to collect. I even tried saying "Gotta go fast" to see if I can unlock those masks from last year but to no avail.

Other than the plaza and gate being decorated, what other Sonicy things to do on PSO2? I think Nyan has a Sonic get-up and I could potentially unlock the Sonic Knuckles but yet to encounter him.

I think the decoration looks nice.

I remember seeing flying Sonic Doll and also Sonic costumes,
but those don't have anything to do with anniversary, right?

I just realised, doesn't matter if I ever unlock Lv75 for Hero class that I want, I'd probably have to unlock it again in New Genesis.

I know there are PSO2 players who are skilled at speed-leveling but I'm not. Leveling my primary class was easy but for some reason I'm slow at leveling my secondary even though I switched them around.

I used the last of my Exp tickets to catch up to Lv20 so it's nice to use my Last Survivor again.

Also, while I'm not after spoilers, is Halpha actually planet Naverius? I mean it's likely the planets in PSO2 were considered for colonization and that the areas we explored does not account for the entire planet. So the main map of New Genesis could be not far from the charted forests, tundras and ruins of PSO2.

The big indicator to me that Halpha is actually Naverius is that Sylvants seem to be native on this world which was the first thing I noticed along with Udan when I encountered combat in the game. It could be possible that Sylvants were abducted and placed on Halpha to prevent extinction of their race but given PSO2 doesn't give me that impression of treating Sylvants as a protected species I doubt this.

Another indicator to me is that some parts of Aelio have buildings and structures that may look high-tech but still regarded as ruins. Perhaps photoner ruins just like the ruins found on Naverius. The ruins at Halpha Wetlands in particular reminds me of the ruins from Naverius.

And of course you can see how cold North Aelio is from afar which is possibly the tundra region despite the rest of Aelio being of tempered forest climate, which in PSO2 story was noted how the cold region of the Tundra is confusing.

As for why the planet is now called Halpha and now Naverius could simply be that the names of places may change over history. Just as the name Wa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa_(Japan)) was Japans earliest known name... I think.

New Genesis is supposed to give us a new and fresh experience, so as for me it's kinda dissapointing if Halpha is to be revealed as Naverius.
It could be true though given the similarities and all that you mentioned, but I prefer Halpha to be ... I dunno, something else .... may be a big mysterious mothership like the one in classic Phantasy Star III.

If PSCrew wanted the game to be a new and fresh experiance, they would of made it PSO3, PSU2 or at least a seperate game where SG and AC can be used interchangably.

But the fact you can start New Genesis with your old PSO2 character and how the meteorn are described it does sound like a continuation after a thousand years gap. Speaking of one-thousand years isn't it said that whenever the Profound Darkness is defeated it re-manifests after a millenium of rest, and given the Dark Falz may take form depending on various hosts it possess, it could be possible the dolls are the Dark Falz new form.

All in all, while PSCrew may say the game is suppose to be a new and fresh experiance, story-wise people will want to fill in the thousand-year gap.

I've yet to begin Episode 6 let alone know how it ends, but I pressume what happened is at some point it was decided for ARKS ops to be cryo'd and ejected into space, meanwhile what's left of ARKS, probably the inhabitants of ARKS Ships, decided to land on Naverius for colonization and renaming of the planet to Halpha. These various events have faded over history but probably due to orbital projectories the ARKS cryo-escape pods eventually returned to fall onto Halpha. Memory loss and atrophy over long stasis caused our hearty battle-hard operatives to practically start over as new "Meteorns".

Another thing I noticed, is they decided to name the planet Halpha, which could probably be a reference to the term "The Alpha and the Omega (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_and_Omega)" given Episode 5 was all about a world that, like Halpha, based and inspired from the history of Phantasy Star. Naverius could be regarded as the alt-universe equivilent to ESC-A Earth and given Omega picked Apprentices from both ARKS and Earth means there could be a sort of trinity between these three planets. So Naverius could be the alpha to the Omega and why the name Halpha.
Title: Re: Phantasy Star - Official Thread
Post by: Berto on July 07, 2021, 12:36:37 am
Yeah, they promised new experience, but they also don't want to let go PSO2 fanbase (which is growing a lot, thanks to western release), that's why I think they don't want to make it a PSO3.

That "Alpha and Omega" theory is interesting. If there is really a thousand years gap, then it would make sense how Naverius has changed so much, more techy than the one in PSO2.
Title: Re: Phantasy Star - Official Thread
Post by: Mystic Monkey on July 07, 2021, 08:35:46 am
PSO2 is the kind of game that goes into deep lore to answer the most immediate questions but leave huge blindspots to the kind of questions I usually ask.

For example, when I first played Episode 1 of PSO2, I thought that ARKS was something like the Federation (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets) from Star Trek, and I often wonder who it's president, overall leader or council along with the structure of ARKS. While there was a Council of Six it was mostly disorganised and wasn't until Episode 4 where ARKS was given more structure.

I guess ARKS was more inspired by the Jedi which makes more sense I guess. The Jedi have a council than much structure and the use of photons is comparable to the use of the Force, with Dark Falz as the Sith. I just never made the comparison given the technology and spacecrafts used by ARKS reminds me more of Star Trek than Star Wars.

But you can see why I am the sort of PSO2 player who asks such questions as "How is ARKS structured?" or "What happened in the thousand year gap?", "What happened to Matoi, the Council and all our NPC friends?"

What I know is Matoi and some of NPC friends were going to Vandor and they teach Uly (protagonist of Idola Ep 1) how to beat Dark Falz.
Matoi still stays in Vandor even after finished teaching Uly.
But I don't know about Ash (or Protagonist in the PSO2 game).
Idola Ep 2 has unnamed protagonist too, but his face is kinda different compared to Ash.
Luther also went to Vandor and planned on using his new knowledge in Vandor to do experiment related to the Council later on, but I dunno how it would turn out.

There is indeed an area in New Genesis that looks like its already set up for concert, but may be not yet ready to be implemented.
Quna's concert is a memorable part of PSO2 (and in Idola too) so I'm sure when they're ready they're gonna make something that's equivalent of it.
Title: Re: Phantasy Star - Official Thread
Post by: Mystic Monkey on July 22, 2021, 04:16:00 pm
I always found it a bit odd the concert area is part of the Shopping Plaza. I mean sure the crowed that are gathered are never that big (at least not the PSO2 concerts I attended, the only big ones I attended were Summer Festival ones and Cosmic Twinkle Star and they were in the main plaza area.) I always figured that the concert area should deserve it's own area because I figured it could be used for music and perhaps major announcements if needed.

Meanwhile Franca's café is it's own designated area and it pisses me off you can't actually eat the food. It just sits there in front of you, mockingly. Other than being a second Gate Area and having certain shops for food, rings and such what else is it used for?

If you ask me, I think it make more sense if Franca's Café had the concert hall.

Title: Re: Phantasy Star - Official Thread
Post by: Mystic Monkey on July 31, 2021, 12:47:40 pm
So how about you. Who's your favorite waivu?
I don't really have a "Space waifu" from Phantasy Star, mostly because I've only played PSO2 and New Genesis. I can barely remember playing PSO1 from Dreamcast.

While the obvious choice would be Matoi, it feels like that's more of the story pushing us together than genuine feelings on her. I mean don't get me wrong she's definetly my type but I still think she is intended for Ash. Ash is PSO2s default Hunter and protaonist of the game, it's ment to be his story. We the players are just filling his shoes.

I do see the appeal in Risa. She is someone I would normally feel at odds with with due to her dacnolagnomania but getting to know her more I can see why she is still a nice person. I would be tempted into a commited relationship with her but the same part of me that would love her would also fear her, and know I can never fully satisfy her without her gun to my head.

Quna is perhaps close to someone I'd regard waifu, and not because of how popular she is as an idol but from getting to know her through ehr story arc with Hadden. How she needed time to get to know me and me to her as well. It just felt more genuine than the story scooting me with Matoi.
Pati I also think is cute, though will admit she is a bit ditzy. I also have trouble keeping my eyes to her face at times.

As for New Genesis I'm pretty torn between Aina and Mannon, my new "friends" in New Genesis. I suppose if I had to choose it be Mannon.

Sorry if it's not a very clear or definite answer on who's my number one waifu is. I never really felt a proper connection with any of them off the bat (Nothing like the first time I watched MLP:FiM and had knew Fluttershy was my waifu the moment we meet her) Maybe if the story of PSO2 was less scripted on how my character interacted with others and perhaps implimented a "dating sim" feature of sorts I'd feel more sure about it.

Post by: Berto on August 01, 2021, 03:17:39 am
I don't really like Matoi in the PSO2 since she's just generic protagonist who accompanies main character.
But I do really like Matoi in Idola since she's changed a lot. After years of experience in PSO2 and now has been separated rom Ash (for some years), she's like a different person. Very calm and confident, she has matured a lot.

Hm... maybe Idola takes place the same time as New Genesis? I never played Idola so I dunno if there is a thousand year gap between Idola and PSO2.

I do ship Ash and Matoi because at least Ash is able to respond to her. But when NPCs ask questions to us players the "multiple answers" (all two of them) are usually just the same answer worded different, other times it's just a single response that required a prompt.

If I were to make a "Phantasy Star Online 3", or the very elast a "Phantasy Star Universe 2" (I never played PSU so I don't know the difference between an Online Phantasy Star game or a Universe Phantasy Star game), I would have the story mode double as a dating sim of sorts. Whenever an NPC talks to you they may ask questions that value your oppinion. Depending on the answer will reward or deduct points towards their 🎁 stat. A negative friendship may result with alternate dialogue, such as them welcoming you or scalding you for your presence or alternate characters to replace certain cutscene events if they want to avoid you.

I know this idea sounds stupidly complex butgiven we're playing as custom characters with limited dialogue, complexcity is all we have to go for for our characters individuality.
Besides I've seen mobile games with such complexity so why not a Phantasy Star game?

I do ship Ash and Matoi because at least Ash is able to respond to her. But when NPCs ask questions to us players the "multiple answers" (all two of them) are usually just the same answer worded different, other times it's just a single response that required a prompt.

Yeah, even if answer are very different, if we pick the "bad" one, other characters just thinking that we're joking and treat that the option we chose didn't matter at all, lol.

Probably because the developer wasn't interested in making the game too complex, and to be honest I'm fine with it.
If this was made by Atlus, probably they could make it more complex.
We know how complex Persona 5 Royal was and personally I was kinda turned off by it.
That's why I prefer its sequel, Persona 5 Strikers. The game was more simple.

Most of the time in the story I felt like a cardboard cutout just prop their for the sake of the story. Everyone is praising me as this powerful Guardian of ARKS and and I'm just standing their like a plonk.

It's why I believe the best character development tool a custom-made character can have his dialogue trees that actually sway the story to a degree. Or if it will at least provide the illusion of free will it should do it better than how PSO2 did it.

Phantasy Star Online 2 & New Genesis Pass 9 Million Registered Users as Sega Announces Financials

(https://i1.wp.com/twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sega-7.jpg?strip=info&w=714&ssl=1)

Quote
The games have generated cumulative sales of 100 billion yen (about $911 million) worldwide.
Registered users have passed 9 million (6.5 million in Japan and 2.5 million overseas), and the release of New Genesis achieved the largest number of monthly active users ever for the game both in Japan and overseas in June 2021.
Moving on to Sega’s overall results, net sales were ¥59,447 million (+22.9% year-on-year), while operating income was ¥3,844 million, which basically reverts the previous year’s result which was an operating loss.

Rabbit lycan
No, that's an oxymoron and someone on PSCrew should be embarrassed about that. It doesn't work that way. The word lycanthrope is from Greek lykos, “wolf ”; anthropos, “man”. A "Rabbit lycanthrope" would still be a werewolf, just with rabbit ears or something.

While there is no greek term for it (given as far as I'm aware Wallace and Grommit are the only media that had a were-rabbit), an accurate word would be "Leporithrope". From the greek word "Leoridae" for rabbits. Other fitting names can be Lapicentaurs or Bunnoid.

Given Tyrol looks like a regular girl with bunny ears, a more fitting name would be "Usagi", the japanese word for rabbit. (Just as anime catgirls are called "neko".)

But "Rabbit lycan?" /facepalm

Well, here Lycan is a race (others than Human, Elf, Machina, Demonic, and Gnome).
Lycans are a race of humanoid beings native to the world of Vandor.
Most of Lycans are wolves (wolf lycan), but there are also other humanoid (Rabbit lycan, Lynx lycan, etc).
So yes, may be they're not using "lycan" words correctly, but they're already make an explanation of what lycans meant in Vandor.

Quote
"We wanted to continue supporting Phantasy Star Online 2 while allowing players to still utilize items they’ve acquired over nine years.
If two separate titles, such as Phantasy Star Online 2 and Phantasy Star Online 3, were available simultaneously, it’s possible that players would be spread out between both games.
So, we decided to instead release it as a major update."

That is somewhat understandable. It is nice I get to play as my original PSO2 character in New Genesis... but still Episode 6 wrapped up the story nicely and now shoving the player in an entirely seperate story wit hthe only relation is the thousand year gap between them.

I know PSCrew want to start a fresh this way, but when a story skips a large gap of time we want to know what happened to the old stuff we're familiar with and how they're doing.

My guess Idola.

I don't know enough of the overall Idola story to make accurate guesses, but from what I understand the "protagonist" from PSO2 does not appear in the game while PSO2 characteras seem to be showing up.
My guess after Episode 6, something happened which caused ARKS to scatter and that the NPCs are showing up in Idola while your character sleeps soundly and maybe hurtles off into space as a meteorn.

Yes, both protagonist from PSO2 and PSO2es didn't show up in Idola but their partners (Matoi from PSO2 and Jeanne from PSO2es) showed up.
Other than Luther, most PSO2 characters that show up and playable in Idola were women (we know the reason why).
In the last story that I follow from global version was :
Quna, Matoi, Jeanne, Seraphy / Phuramy, and Risa (Harriete mode) were joining forces to stop Luther's plan.

I just find PSO2 it mostly repetitive after you access most of the worlds. Usually "kill so many enemies" or "Kill so many this kind of enemies", stuff like that. Kinda hard to imagine how more hardcore longterm players find joy in this game... Maybe it's like school, only without the lessons and all the social interactions.

Open-world gaming has been around since the mid-90s.... since Meridian 59 (https://meridian59.com/). While Phantasy Star Online had specific areas on planets in a whole universe, World of Warcraft allowed you to explore the entirety of the one world it's set in... and frankly WoW became the more popular and reknown MMORPG of it's time while PSO remained in Japan.

New Genesis feels more like an "about time" sort of thing than saying open-world in ground breaking for such an MMORPG.

As I said on SNN (A Sonic wiki I am an admin at), I believe if they made a Sonic game with at least some MMOG features it would made that games shelf life last more longer than it's market.

My idea would be for the next Sonic game to have a "side game" called Avatar Battle Mode. It be like Battle Mode from Shadow's game but with Avatars and wispons. As long as it has more than three stages and more types of competitive modes then Avatar Battle Mode would carry the whole Sonic game for years.

Don't believe me? When Fortnite was release, it was released as a game with it's own story mode while the battle royale was a free seperate mode. In yet the free battle royale of the game has pretty much taken the entire identity of Fortnite and been keeping to it's audience interest for years!
If a Sonic game could copy what makes this MMO games so popular it too could make a Sonic game that's marketed for 2-3 years last for yeard on end.

Would love if the Avatar Battle Mode was expanded to be like PSO2 in layout.

Simple version of this also exists in Sonic at Olympic Games - Tokyo 2020 mobile game.
Used to play the game daily just because of this feature.

Quote
Being created as a product of a half-human/half-biomonster, Nei was often feared by other humans, especially after the incident involving herself and the other being eventually revealed to be Neifirst, who was also part of Nei.
As a result of the destructive behavior of her "sister," they were both placed on the bounty list.
Nei became fearful for her life and was heavily dependent on others who strongly cared about her and her situation, such as the elderly couple who raised her and the scientist who learned the truth about her past.
However, after being saved from death and taken in by Rolf, her sense of hope and living grew, nurturing her newfound optimism, confidence, and courage.

I dig your idea, it will make people checking their game often.
Simple version of this also exists in Sonic at Olympic Games - Tokyo 2020 mobile game.
Used to play the game daily just because of this feature.
I've got ideas on how the "Avatar Battle Mode" could work. I've jotted down all my "fan game ideas" I've had for years. To sum it up if Avatar Battle Mode is a Sonic-copy of PSO2, I can imagine the new Restoration HQ (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Restoration_HQ#Test_Run.21) being like the ARKS ship for Avatars. Or the very least the town center of Sunset Heights (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sunset_Heights)/Park Avenue (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Park_Avenue) be made as the shopping district for Avatars. I can imagine a brand new Avatar customization with "Speed (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Speed_Type), Power, (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Type) Fly (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Fly_Type) and Technique (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Technique-Type)" serving as a class system for Avatars. Haven't decided if certain coloured wispons are limited to your Class-type or grants unique functions with them.

And like traditional Battle Mode from Shadow's game, Avatars can be pitted against one another in arenas, but I'd rather expand it to be like Team Fortress 2 with a variety of competitive modes to choose from.
Other than competitive matches there is also racing matches, with virtual hedgehogs (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Virtual_Hedgehog) substituting Sonic.

Factions might be a thing. Players could probably make their Avatars join the Sonic Resistance (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Resistance) or the Eggman Empire (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Eggman_Empire). Kinda like World of Warcraft with the Horde and the Alliance.
About adding new thing in PSO2, SEGA could also still feeling bitter about Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution.
It has such a good idea for a spinoff but the general reception wasn't that good.
I never played PSOe3 but I've seen clips of it which looks like Sega were trying to copy the Yu-Gi-Oh craze at the time. I agree it did look good but it looked better off as a side-game than the need to be the main game.

Like Triple Triad (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Triple_Triad) in FFVIII or Tetra Master (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Tetra_Master_(minigame)) in FFIX.

They could of still give C.A.R.D. Revolution it's own story episode... just accessable in the Casino area while Episode III had a more proper story. (Did PSO1 had a Casino? I can't remember.)

Somehow it would more fit to Sonic Forces than Sonic Rangers.

Factions / alliances / guilds, yeah, that what makes people always checking the games daily.
They're kinda already implemented  in Sonic Forces mobile game.
Sonic Resistance vs Eggman Empire, but only as events.
It was disbanded after the event is over.
It was rather good, what they're lacking is just customize avatar, like console version.

It isn't. Sonic Forces had the chance for DLCs or Expansions that could of expanded use of Avatars, but they didn't. I would of loved to see a Sonic version pf 2fort and have groups of Avatars defend their flags over it.
There could still be a chance for Sonic Rangers to have Avatar Battle Mode even such a battle mode has little to do with the game itself. (Just s Secret Rings had a Party Mode that was almost an entirely independant project from the main game.)

But let's face it. They're not gonna.
Factions / alliances / guilds, yeah, that what makes people always checking the games daily.

Can you imagine what PSO2 would be like if you made a brand new character and you can choose to side with ARKS or Falz? And that each faction had it's own series of episodes and characters to meet with? The ship being all dark and twisted but still has everything ARKS ships have.

I just figure I can imagine a Sonic Avatar MMORPG doing the same. Players can make a brand new character that could side with either Sonic or Eggman.

But let's face it. They're not gonna.

Five reasons to play Idola: Phantasy Star Saga, free on iOS and Android


(https://i.ibb.co/74DBVQc/Idola-Phantasy-Star-Saga-Summer-Jeanne.jpg)

Quote
1. Intriguing story arcs

Every RPG needs a good story. In contrast to a lot of quasi-medieval RPGs, Phantasy Star’s plots typically involve science fiction elements.
Idola: Phantasy Star Saga takes place on Vandor, a world besieged by monsters called Idola.
Our two central protagonists are Stella and Uly; Stella is the leader of the Aries Chivalric Order, whose mission is to defeat the Idola, whilst Uly is a recruit for the Order’s guerilla unit.
As the fully voice-acted story unfolds, players can discover more about the origin of Idola, and their connection to Dark Falz, the main antagonist of the series.
Many collectible characters also boast their own engaging side stories worth exploring.

Fans aren't happy about the price of certain cosmetics in a new Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis event promoting Sonic Colors Ultimate

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/210902_4_18.jpg)

Quote
For items like a Tails, uh, tail, or the ability to dash around in a ball like Sonic, players will need to spend some cold, hard cash, and a lot of it.
Unlocking Tails' tails, the lowest-level event reward in the "Treat' Chao-Self" reward track, costs 2,000 AC (PSO2: NG's premium currency), or $20.
To unlock the Sonic dash along with previous rewards in track, players need to spend more than 10,000 AC during the event period, which is the equivalent of $100.

Yeah. Could at least have had some special quests, or Xia donning the Sonic Suit F to give us some client orders in theme with the event.

Or better yet, instead of Xia, just a default human male named "Sonic-man". He's wearing the Sonic Suit M and his only dialogue audio is "Hey (http://y2u.be/wFNElafkSvM)".

Limited Time Missions
I would of introduced a series of Time-Attack Missions, one for each location in the game.
Sonic Legacy: Forest
Sonic Legacy: Tundra
Sonic Legacy: Ruin

The objective of these Time-Attack Missions is to reach the Goal Ring (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Goal_Ring) in shortest time possible. All the while rings (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Ring) (like the ones from the lobby) are seen throughout the mission. When you reach the goal these rings are tallied as bonus points. However rings are depleted with damage is taken from enemies.
Dash panels and catapults will be present in these missions, but reskinned. Dash panels will be reskinned with dash panels and catapults will be reskinned as springs, just like the catapults in the lobby during Sonic's anniversary.

They're called Sonic Legacy missions because I named them after Legacy Missions (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Legacy_Mission) from Sonic and the Black Knight. These missions replace gimmicks unique to the game with gimmicks found in traditional Sonic games. I can imagine if PSO2 ever wanted to do any more promotional events for other Sega games they could make Legacy Missions around them. (Such as "Sakura Legacy" or "Persona Legacy", etc)

Rewards
One particular reward I would like would be "Green Hill Base", an alliance quarter location themed after Green Hill Zone. Like the lobby during Sonic's anniversary it has rings and spring-like catapults. Franca's Café will also have the Green Hill Base throughout the event so that players without alliances can still enjoy it. The Alliance Base can be unlocked via earning a consumable ticket item.

If an Alliance Base is too much to ask, then at least more Sonic-themed Personal Quarters decor. Such as Green Hill balcony scenery, item boxes, palm trees, badniks etc.

As for weapon camos... maybe the Sacred Swords (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sacred_sword)? Shadow Rifle (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_Rifle)?

Maybe a shop? Or maybe Scratch Tickets?
Perhaps rings collected throughout the Sonic Legacy missions can serve as a form of currency exclusive to the event. Xia or Sonic-man will have a shop of their own where they will exchange these rings for Sonic Collaboration items that are no longer in circulation, such as Sonic Suits, Tails Suits and maybe new suits for Knuckles, Amy and Shadow.

Maybe instead of a shop, these rings can be spent on Scratch Tickets or something. But each ticket is like 1000 rings or so.

Post by: Mystic Monkey on September 14, 2021, 10:52:42 am
Of course though, ever since New Genesis came out, I've noticed Xia has been absent from the fountain during events and even Quna has stopped performing.

But in New Genesis I noticed this girl (I forgot her name) who shows up at events and... well, these events are lackluster and rather copy-pasted. What she does is tell you to go kill certain enemies with symbols above their heads, collect these blue icosahedron-like currency from them to but elemental weapons in her shop. I think she also sells costumes and other things but I can't recall.

Phantasy Star Online's Forgotten Card Battle Sequel Deserves More Attention

The game's card battles are, for the most part, well-executed.
Each character has a set number of action points, which can be used to equip weapons, perform elemental techniques or even summon monsters.
Players can then use their remaining points to attack with these various units or guard during the opponent's turn.
It's an easy system to learn, but one that requires time and effort to master.
Fortunately, the sheer range of available cards, combined with a cast of 24 characters who all have their own unique skills, gives players a lot of room to develop their own unique play style.

Without credentials or actual game making skills, they would of just tell me to get out and vent it over deviantART or YouTube like everyone else who "should of worked for Sega". While sometimes Sonic collaborations feel a bit half-arsed (Like, the 30th Anniversary collabs were great but were only so much here and there) I understand the degree of effort it would take to make such things for PSO2. And I think PSO2 would rather concentrate on getting the momentum of New Genesis on the way so I doubt we'll see Xia anytime soon along with PSO2-original events being more of a courtesy.

I never played episode III so I wouldn't know, but from how it's described I think it would of been better off as a side game. Like how Triple Triad was in Final Fantasy VIII. If Card Battle was introduced in PSO2, it should probably be special missions along with duel mode for two players. Or a side-story episode that can only be accessed in the Casino area. Like maybe the Casino. Like maybe the Casino is hosting a card dueling tournament and throughout the story you duel with familiar NPCs from the main story mode, maybe some sort of crisis or mystery happens during the tournament that the story wants you to solve, all the while not impeding with whatever episode you're currently on (Though perhaps progress in the main story maybe required to prevent spoilers, unless the game is exclusive to Council of Six and ARKS organization.

I think it was meant as spin-off at first, but then they put "episode III" to make it more marketable.
Just like Pac-Man 2, its gameplay were different than original Pac-Man.
The original title is "Hello! Pac-Man", but somehow they change it into Pac-Man 2.

I never played PSO1 (fully, only a bit of the Dreamcast game, we had no internet back then) but at the time I honestly thought Episode III was a spin-off or side game from the main series. Like, I know PSO1 was an action adventure, somewhat hack 'n slash game, then they switch it to card stradegy game in the last episode? Seems a stretch.

Still I'm not that engage with PSO2s casino, but if a revised CARD Revolution was introduced I'd be for it as long as it's a side attraction.

It's indeed a stretch, but it'll help the marketing development to sell it easier.  ::)

Casino would be tricky to implement since some country had a restriction on gambling.
It could make the game be blocked in some country.

I hope they're not cocoons either but they look like the same kind of technology cocoons are made from. Even if it's a barren wasteland they still look like they take up more space than a regular cocoon.

While Aelios is rather big, once I got my barings around it it isn't that big. If anything rather boxed in with mountains and oceans. That said if Retem is roughly the same size as Aelios I'd be dissapointed. Especially if pyramid cocoons take up so much space in Retem.

Sometimes I forgot that sand box and open world are different, they tend to overlap, but you're right.
New Genesis is... technically open world... but it still has boundaries. I suppose that is the difference between open-world and sandbox, all comes down to how boxed in you feel.

For example, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open-world Sega game given the scale of Hyrule. But once you activate all the towers and get around the place you'll start to feel a little boxed in. But regardless I still regard BotW an open-world game given there is many towns and other locations to visit.

New Genesis however feels more like a sandbox than open-world. There is only two settlements, the village you start off in which I can't remember the name of and Central City. The village felt more like a naturally populated place in comparison to the city... well it did before it was destroyed making Central City the only settlement in the entire region.

And really, it isn't really a city. It's more of a millitary base with on-site shops and services. I've seen cities in the original PSO2 that were much bigger and (while limited to UQ) got to explore them to a degree. Central City is just a few buildings surrounded by a main building. and doesn't offer much to explore.

From Central City it doesn't take long to reach the edge of the region of any direciton on foot which is why I feel like PSO2:NG is more of a sandbox game than open-world. There are places to explore, some more hidden than others, but there's not much to do other than missions.

And I bet the new desert region will be just the same. Mostly canyons, desert and in the center of it a hub-base posing as a city.

Is it really meant to be sand box?
Or did they aim for open world, but couldn't do it in time?
So that it's still what it is for now, but later they're gonna adding more and more contents to make it closer to PSO2?

I just wish they would at least acknowledge the Central Cities not being all that city-like.

If they were to introduce a whole region that is city, then I can accept that.

My guess they're trying to draw interest away from PSO2 to NGS. Which sucks given I figured the stage performances and seasonal client orders were automatic than the need of someone putting them there.

Oh dear. Well New Genesis feels like it needs a lot more work. When they announced it they hyped up the fact we'll finally get to explore an open-world area but they concealed the fact the open-world area was just a very large sandbox with only a few places to explore.

I mean, what kind of MMORPG only has the one settlement? (and no, I'm not counting the starting village that they blew up.)

It turns out Rockingham's spiffy spaceship happens to have the ability to corrupt people by hitting them with a large dosage of concentrated Dark Falz energy.
Part of their plan to revive Dark Falz Cave involves gathering Zodiart bearers together, and brainwashing them helps significantly.
They first attempt to use it in Chapter 2 on Rosalinde, but Jasper bails her out, while in Chapter 3 they manage to successfully control and capture Astraea (with help from Kaempfer, who pulled a Face–Heel Turn off-screen).

If we did get a new PSO3, like PSO1 I'd like it to be less meta.

I mean, there is still lots of questions I have on PSO2-lore that's never answered. Well, the animated series answers it a bit but still I wonder how ARKS operate as a whole. The kind of built-up lore than Star Trek has long established.

Instead PSO2 is meta to the point that it continues off from Episode 4 to be self-aware it is an MMORPG.

NGS has more substance to it's lore than PSO2 and I still think it's lacking.

They could, make us wondered if there is a decrease of the size of member of  team in charged of Phantasy Star franchises.
Especially with the termination of Idola JP, the forum has been closed, and the official blog's not updating anymore.
Probably. SegaSammy like to shuffle their staff every now and again. Kinda keeps them on their toes but also really bad for business.

It's like doing a science-fair project with an assign group and half way through "CHANGE PLACES!" and you're stuck with the layabouts who have no idea what project you're left with.

Yep. As well as Golden Axe Beast Riders and I think Iron-Man game. To me it was less of a merger and more of a consumation. Sammy devoured Sega and redistribute what was left of them to other subsidiaries Sammy owned. They kept the name "SegaSammy" and made a new "Sega" to continue the video game business with but this new Sega was more of a Frankenstein of Sammy's subsidiaries. But yeah Sonic '06 was the first Sega game after the merger, and you can tell it shows for it to this day.

Unlike Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed,
SEGA even delisted Sonic '06 from XBox shop.
Guess even SEGA themself is ashamed of how the game turned out to be.

Photon is the light particle energy that forms the foundation of science and technology.
And since science is a form of magic that's explainable, then yes, that is true.

Meseta's perhaps the easiest to grind in the game yet I still end up too short or requires AC to get.

Now that would be an interesting twist. Profound Darkness, the ultimate pinnacle of evil in the PSO2niverse reawakens and creates DOLLs to attack the world of Halpha. It too will take a new form and identity in order to control all those under it's whim... a space waifu idol star!

Not only would it be a completely unexpected plot twist, but giving Profound Darkness boobs would be something PSO2 would do.

Kinda make me remember there is an anime that has that..
but somehow I can't remember about it.
Macross? Gundam? Symphogear?

Anyway as long as there are boobs,
count me in...

There could probably be quests around her to make her look friendly, approachable and popular but could drop heavy hints she could be evil such as DOLLs backing off from her, a black smokey aura, or able to take down a Daedal in one hit. And when your character notice she's all ^_^.

So the idol could be the Dark Falz herself...

I meant *SPOILER ALERT* the latest Dark Falz in Idola is the female president of Canseed herself.
Why couldn't be an Idol.

PSO2 New Genesis FPS Will Increase With Nvidia DLSS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlvIzVsIVzI

Quote
To help show how it will affect the game, there’s a new video. It shows a side-by-side comparison of how DLSS support changes the PSO2 New Genesis FPS.
Actions like attacking, jumping, jetting around, and running are shown off.
Without support, the PSO2 New Genesis framerate tends to hover between 38-45. With it, it exceeds 60 FPS.

The frame rate is more the highlight, I think.
For me as long as it's more than 30FPS, it's good enough, but some players only satisfied when it's 60 FPS or more.

I prefer at least 60fps.
I remember when we got Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast for the first time, the game had the option for either 50hz or 60hz. At first our TV couldn't play 60hz, but when we got a TV that could, it almost looked like the game was somewhat 3Dish, as in watching a movie with polarized glasses.

I would definitely chosen 60 Hz over 50 Hz,
I've played Sonic in 50 Hz and I hate how he feels not as fast and how the music turned out,
compared to how I play Sonic in 30 FPS on handheld, Sonic still feel fast and the music is same thing.
FPS is how many frames our console is producing or drawing, while the refresh rate is how many times the tv/monitor is refreshing the image on the screen.
The difference in Hz (refresh rate) is bigger than in FPS (frame rate).

Phantasy Star III - Double Walk Speed Patch

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/19b6f6fe8f283be46a5c638ce9633086/tumblr_oqnzcvJq1K1ulp8mfo1_1280.jpg)

Quote
A patch to double the walking speed of your party in Phantasy Star III, thus bringing it in line with Phantasy Star IV (And basically any 2D JRPG released in the last 25 to 30 years.).
Given that the game has lots of walking from place to place with a dash of backtracking, and not a lot of ways to circumvent that for anywhere between 60 and 80% of the game depending on the path you take, the increased walking speed makes the game much less tedious in the author’s opinion!

Eeeeeeh SC5 games have their own retro-sci-fi style which kinda looked a bit plastic givne the design. PSO2 has more of a sleek sci-fi design that would clash a little between the two. Only way I can imagine Ulala in PSO2 would be if she was remade in PSO2s character creator.

Make the PSO2 character thrown into the SC5 world.
So it's kinda like time travel thing.
Modern looking gut thrown into the retro looking environment.

Or remade the SC5 Chars.. But design-wise it would be lot of work...

The ARKS ship in PSO2 has changed showing new counters and shops. There was this machine that looks like a vending machine but with a holographic face that looks like StarFox Andross polygonal face. The machine served as some sort of time machine that allows players to replay past promotional events that they missed or something like that.

Okay, that's a weird dream.
I rarely dream of SEGA franchises.
May be sometimes only when I played some games.
I dreamt accidentally meeting Michael Jackson on the street (when I played Moonwalker)
and become the protagonist of Phantasy Star III (when I played Phantasy Star III).
I don't think I ever dreamt about Sonic, but my son said he ever had one (a dream when he met Sonic).

What about forget to wear pants when going to school?

I rarely have those high school dreams... but when I do it's with the crush I had in school. 8) So not really bad dreams at all.

But seriously, homework nightmares are the worse school-related dreams because even when you awake you immediately worry about some hoework you forgot to do twenty-something years a go.

In real life, it's happened to me when I was in 2nd grade.
I forgot to do my homework and the teacher punished me to stand in front of the class for 15 minutes.
It was a traumatic experience, but I never forgot my homework again ever since. Not even once.
I guess the punishment was really effective, but I still hated remembering it.

Yeah but given it's an upsetting memory that will last you a lifetime then that means it's traumatic. Would you want your kids to have a similar experiance just for a teacvher to get a point across?

Actually yes if it meant they could do homework without being told to.
It's a valuable lesson of taking care of own responsibility afterall.

Without an upsetting memory, we tend to forget the lesson is ... until it's too late.
That's why most superheroes in the movies tend to have a tragic background.

But we're not heroes.

I'm just saying that if I had a kid, I don't want him coming up upset over forogtten homework because the teacher humiliated them. Doesn't seem a moral way to educate, that's all.

If you got time to always check your kid's homework, that's good.
I had a friend that has to repeat the class because he rarely did his homewors and seems didn't mind being punished either.
His parents never checked his homework too and somehow didn't to give a damn that his son repeated a class.

I guess so. I'd just rather have children learn in a comfortable environment and not learn through trauma. But I guess enough about thart.

A number of shows that also are connected to games, for example in some cases being based on them, will leave as well.
Among them are both seasons of Bang Dream, two Diabolik Lovers shows, Phantasy Star Online 2 the Animation, and Utawarerumono: The False Faces. In total, over 50 shows will be gone.

Well it would be nice to actually eat them. I rarely buy food at Franka's café... mostly because I find it reduntant I have to collect my own ingrediants for my own meals. Usually meals are treated as just items you can "use" in inventory where it instantly applies it's effects and so.

Meanwhile if you sit down at the café you're given food to look at! It's mean you can't actually enjoy eatting it even if it's just your PSO2 character doing animations for it. It feels like it's done for just twitter food pictures. Y'know where people take pictures of their food before eating it? It's not like those food-photographers just order food just for photos and leave it untouched.

(I like the idea of my PSO2 character being popular wit hthe NPCs in the story and no one cares he's a bit of a glutton.)

May be it's kinda hard to animate the eating parts with so many different characters.
Some character designs don't even have mouth in them (or have their mouth covered).

I see.

The PSO2 anime gave me the impression that PSO2 conventions are a regular thing in japan which is something I find it hard to believe because I don't find PSO2 that good to make a huge convention out of.

I mean BlizzCon covers not just Warcraft but all Blizzard franchises so that makes sense. Annual conventions for PSO2 not so much for me.

While PSO2 Global is only 2 years old in the west, it's already 10 years in Japan.
In 2012, PSO2 was a very big thing in Japan.
Also adding a fact that everybody there could play the game almost anywhere (PC, mobile, PS4, PS5, PS Vita, Switch).
And many collaboration with popular anime and events in Japan.
It's popularity difference between JP and western is too big.

The outfit above is originally belongs to Phantom class in base PSO2 and now will be outfited into NGS specs.
In IDOLA each character have Fate Divergences which change their overall appearances (except post-episode 2 character banner as they only change the illustration and not the character avatar).
Matoi is originally belongs to PSO2 and because it doesn't have Fate Divergence's thing, it just make her change a job class (the first Matoi banner change between Hero or Phantom, while second banner change between Etoile or Luster).

Hiro Arai:
This update will introduce an auto-sell feature that users have been requesting.
Besides that, I'm sure there are many other features that will be added or improved. Are there any in particular that the dev. team wants to highlight?

Dev. team:
Yes, there are!
This is somewhat related to the auto-sell function. We wanted to relieve some of the pressure on the inventory in Kvaris. To achieve this, we plan to remove weapon and armor drops 4 stars and under and increase the amount of Meseta that drop to balance things out. However, please be assured that this will not affect silver and gold type weapons so they will drop as usual.

PSO2 NEW GENESIS - Retem region player survey results

(https://c.tenor.com/q97du0X-xOIAAAAd/pso2ngs-retem.gif)

Quote
The most common comments we received were related to the drop rate of the Relik series.
Players provided a variety of input, including comments stating that the drop rate is too low, but also that farming for rare weapons is fun.
Overall, the opinions were split about 50-50 between players who enjoyed it and players who disliked it.

In light of these comments and the current acquisition status of the Relik series, we have decided that we will not change their current drop rate.
In addition, we will continue to release items with low drop rates like the Relik series, and we intend to continue to allow such items to be listed in the Personal Shop.
However, we will continue to monitor the demand and acquisition status of these rare items, and discuss holding campaigns from time to time to give players more chances to get their hands on them.

According to Masaki Takeuchi, Section Manager of Business & Data Analysis Section, Business Planning Department, Game Contents & Service Business Division at SEGA, mobile gaming analysts are now free from the routine work of preparing data reports and enable them to spend more time solving complex analytical challenges.
SEGA introduced Qlik’s solutions, including Qlik Sense, to bring in multiple data sources and automate the creation of routine reports.
With Qlik, analysts can independently collect, process, and analyze the required data. They are also able to incorporate data from external sources without writing complex algorithms.

To enjoy the summertime, Publicity Officer Popona put on a swimsuit.
Her longtime bird partner "Hatosuke" is still with her.
According to Popona, swimsuits help to prove that you own the season.
After changing, she seems more excited than usual.

If Lillipans are native to Aelio, this supports my theory that Halpha is actually a mix-mash of planets from PSO2. I'm going as far to say that like Omega, Halpha is a planet that consist of records of sorts making it the anti-world to Omega.

From what I've read on Idola, nobody ever found out where the first Lilipans came, not even the Lilipans.
Lilipan Ancestors were a lot and quite adventorous and loved challenged themself.
They've travelled almost all planets and whenever they found the place that's similar to their former world, some of them chose to settle down.
That went on and on for thousand years to the point that almost any planets that have desert would also have them.

Okay, but there is still some evidence that proves my theory.

The Formers (https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Formers_(NGS)) for example, some of those enemies consist of Sylvants (https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Natives), these native animals were regarded as enemies and ARKS had no qualms with protection of planets ecosystem in favour of colonization. In yet these creatures are still present on Halpha. Why would ARKS want to Noah these creatures over to Halpha despite these creatures being regarded as free ranged hunting?

I haven't explored the northern mountain regions of Halpha but I bet Yedi's, Grulfer and MArmoths are up there.

Though I doubt the Desert region has automata (https://pso2.arks-visiphone.com/wiki/Mechs) but if if they do then that further proves my theory that Halpha is the anti-world to Omega.

Yeah, that theory makes sense. It could be true.
Also "Halpha" is just a letter off from alpha, the counter to "omega".

Exactly! The Alpha and Omega (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_and_Omega). Perhaps Halpha was not made the same way Omega was with the Akashic Records but Omega is suppose to be a world created from a compilation of both ARKS and Phantasy Star franchise history. Halpha is in a way made from the worlds from PSO2.

I mean a generic forest and wilds area is one thing for PSO2:NG but they could of chosen more original environments to explore. Instead Kvaris is like the tundra (https://phantasystar.fandom.com/wiki/Tundra) region of Naverius (especially the fact it's north of Aelio) and Retem is like the deserts (https://phantasystar.fandom.com/wiki/Lillipa#Desert) of Lillipa. Even the Aelio region, while mostly like the forest (https://phantasystar.fandom.com/wiki/Forest_(Phantasy_Star_Online_2)) region of Naverius, it has swamps and ruins very similar to the ruins (https://phantasystar.fandom.com/wiki/Ruins_(Phantasy_Star_Online_2)) from Naverius.

I'm curious where elements of Amduskia (https://phantasystar.fandom.com/wiki/Amduskia) will fit into all this.

That's another mystery to unfold.

Back then in Phantasy Star classic, each planet (Palma, Dezoris, Rykros, and Motavia) has only one environment (all deserts, all snow, etc).
I'm glad they now use more realistic approach, many environment in one planet.
Different regions has different environments.

That's true. Our Earth has lots of different biomes, environments and cultures making parts of our world radically different from one another. But in science fiction defense, uninhabited planets are usually just the one environment. Mars seems to be nothing but red canyons and deserts. But still the forest, tundra and ruins of Naverius was only so much territory. Maybe something along the lines of Iceland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland) which has forest region and tundra region.

What I mean is, PSO2 covers only a small stretch of forest, tundra and ruins region that it's hard to call it a "whole planet" from just these areas.

Even PSO2:NG, while it's trying to be more like a single planet with open-world gameplay it's really just covering a small country so far. I doubt it's even bigger than Breath of the Wild Hyrule.

Or may be most of planets are indeed like that.
We say them small it's because we live such in big solid planet.
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, while they are bigger, are just gas giants, which means it does not have a solid surface.
No human or normal creature could not survive “on” Jupiter etc, because there's really no solid surface to be on.
Who knows what the majority sizes of the solid planets on the other galaxies.

True. I did watch a YouTube video on Pluto showing it does have different terrain and environments for an uninhabited planet so it could be possible. And who knows maybe the planets in PSO2 are micro-planets or something.

Yes, a planet in the size of a moon, or less than that.

Could be. The game's still growing afterall.
If draconians are involved in this new territory then that will further cement my theory.

Some of it is alright, but I dunno, not really enough to pull me back in. Maybe the Sonic Nyau but I rarely encounter him.

Maybe if there was something along the lines of Time Attack missions where I have to run through a set course on each world as fast as possible while collecting rings provide small bonus points to overall score then that be more engaging. Or if Franca's Café had a Green Hill Zone apperance that can be made available for Team Rooms.

Or camo's that allow you to have weapons from Sonic and the Black Knight or Sonic Forces.

It's kinda disappointing actually but since it's Sonic Anniversary, not PSO2 NGS anniversary, it's still better than what other non Sonic SEGA games presented.

That's true. If I ever made a fantasy MMORPG something I fantasized about often) I'd definitely include Sonic's birthday. Especially an event that is a subtle nod to his birthday.

My ideal MMORPG would be an MMORPG like World of Warcraft or Guildwars but gameplay like PSO2. I can't stand the "click and wait" combat in WoW. And while PSO2 is trying to world build more with New Genesis it still feels like I'm just exploring generic boxed in areas. I want the best of both games.

Despite my hate for Luther you really turned it around for him during the redemption ark for all the Dark Falz.

I actually kinda like Luther.
In Idola: Phantasy Star Saga we got to play as him and see the world through his view.
Not just story-wise, as playable character he's also strong and always in my main team.
Only few characters have Skills that reduce the enemy's Element Value, such as Gelda and Phuramy (Summer).
But Luther takes this a step further and goes straight to Mana Drain territory.

I actually kinda like Luther.
In Idola: Phantasy Star Saga we got to play as him and see the world through his view.
Not just story-wise, as playable character he's also strong and always in my main team.
Only few characters have Skills that reduce the enemy's Element Value, such as Gelda and Phuramy (Summer).
But Luther takes this a step further and goes straight to Mana Drain territory.

A mysterious wandering magician, she's quite handsome in menswear.
Popular among the Leorian civilians with her elegant demeanor and spectacular performances.
But that's an illusion she created to deceive the world.
She is actually ... a spy working for the Principality of Canseed and Rockingham the Black Prince.

Moving one of our discussions over here since it's more on-topic.

May be she's more shocked about the color,
all black.
Quna usually uses bright and colorful clothes.

She wore dark colours while on the job as the 0th but not as revealing. If PSO2 story was more of a dating sim and didn't force-ship me with Matoi I'd say Quna could be my waifu given I got to know her off stage over her idol ID. But then again she has lots of fans anyway so I'm probably no different to her other fans.

Plus, I don't want to get into the waifu scene. I'm still trying to get over my previous waifu (https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Fluttershy).

Dark yes, but not all black.
Also given Leorian is like a tropical country, revealing costume is normal I guess.

That's actually understandable.
Quna is an idol so she treats all her fans equally.
This also make it hard to try to date her.

It's always revealing costumes so their skin can take in photons or something like that.

Yeah, this is why I never simped for her like everyone else to begin with. To me she was just some automated event or something. Made me wonder why she never got her own music hall or theatre. Franca got her own café wile Quna had to perform in the public market area. I figured she was just a generic PSO2 idol purely for fans to simp over and that was just not my thing.

But getting to know her over the Haddred story arc I grew to genuinely like her as we bonded over hunting Haddred and resolving her issues with him.

Not calling her my PSO2 waifu, I don't think I have one other than the game force-shipping me with Matoi who does remind me a little of Fluttershy but I rather have choice over such things.

Photon reason is enough. No need to go more than that~

We live in uncle era, Idol simping wasn't a thing back then.

We don't have much choice since unlike Persona series, romance wasn't this game's focus.

Didn't think Tyris Flare was your taste. All the more reason why we need a new Golden Axe game for barbarian fantasy fufillment.

My gaming days when I was a kid were in arcade centers.
Before Street Fighter II (1991) came with Chun Li, most of video game heroes back then were male.
That's why Tyris Flare stood out in the arcade center for some times.

Photon reason is enough. No need to go more than that~
Beautiful women wearing skimpy clothing for photons sake, I ain't complaining. Though if I wore skimpy clothing, they'll probably say I have enough surface area and should put clothes back on.
We live in uncle era, Idol simping wasn't a thing back then.
I'm pretty sure idol simping has been going on for awhile. Japan music industry made a business out of it.
We don't have much choice since unlike Persona series, romance wasn't this game's focus.

She went to Vandor, I guess.
Training the heroes to fight against Dark Falz.

But now that Idola has ended and Dark Falz has been defeated, wonder where she goes now.

I was an at-home kid so only had Sega consoles growing up.

I went outside because my parents wouldn't buy me a game console.
Though in the arcade centers I was mostly watching other people playing the games than playing them myself.

Yes, she mentioned him three times in the dialogue.

Yeah, but the arcades isn't the only place where I can go to.
There's also a river, a hill, a field, playgorunds, or friend's house.

It made me remember Balan Wonderworld.
There are 80 costumes but the function of some of them are just a little upgrade from existing costumes.
For example there's a cat costume that could make us walk in the air for few seconds.
And then there's a uniform costume with same function but could walk a little farther.

I have a theory on why male CASTs look like gundam robots while female CASTs look like beautiful women... other than PSCrew being horny.

What if male CASTs are CASTrated?

What PSO1 and PSU CASTs were confirmed to be all machine, PSO2 CASTs are able to use Techniques and this is explained that CASTs were once humans with extreme potent for photons to the point it's a deadly strain on their organic bodies. To save them, I presume their brains and some of their organic parts were placed into specially designed androids. So they're more cyborg than robot.

My guess the reason why female CASTs appear more human than the males is because they still have functioning organic uterus. That while mostly mechanism there is stilll enough organism in them to support life.
Males with exterior reproductive organs however maybe unlucky, that what's left of them inside the CAST is not enough to maintain healthy sexual organs, thus removal of them is necessary.

Whoever was in charge with turning humans into CASTs probably figured "The men can't reproduce so might as well make them all-out look like robots. Women however can preoduce so they will need to retain their sex appeal."
And just because male CASTs don't have their genitals doesn't mean they are all aromantic. Some can perhaps still form relationships with other CASTs or the other three -man races, they just won't have any sexual attraction towards them or capacity to feel lust (or maybe they can feel lust or a sense of horniess but it would be diminished without the testosterone produced by the genitals).
They will not be able to procreate, unless a healthy supply of their seed is frozen and stored somewhere.

It's my answer to why we don't see any male CASTs that look as human as the females do.

Interesting theory.
So since CASTs were humans before, if female CAST could have a kid, will that kid be a human or a CAST?
Likely human, female CASTs will likely give birth to human children. But depends how inapt with protons those children will be. If they inherit their mothers dangerous aptitude for photons then they may require the procedure to be turned into CASTs, if not they may remain human.

However if humans can crossbreed with Deumans and Newmans then maybe those children inherit their fathers more resistance to their own photons.

As for why male CASTs can't keep their genitals while females can, I dunno. I presume given the organs are on the outside and perhaps our bodies produce natural hormones and chemicals to keep our swimmers swimming then the new CAST bodies may require only essential organs to function and the male organs cannot function in CAST bodies. So whoevers in charge of the process of turning humans into CASTs perhaps figure "Might as well turn the men into fighting robots and the girls keep their beauty and sex appeal", likely because if they did had children they may still be able to mother them and their human children will bond with them.
It's the only explanation I have why CAST gender appearances are so different from the other man races.

This explanation is too detail.
I doubt SEGA themself think this far, lol.
So that means when female CAST wanted to choose their partner for reproductive process, they couldn't choose male CAST since they don't have male genital?

This explanation is too detail.
I doubt SEGA themself think this far, lol.
So that means when female CAST wanted to choose their partner for reproductive process, they couldn't choose male CAST since they don't have male genital?
It's never shown how humans are turned into CASTs so this is purely speculation. But given "sperm banking" is a thing we have with our current technology, I imagine before the procedure to turn a male human into a CAST, some of their sperm is collected and preserved for future use wit sperm banking procedures beyond ours. So I imagine the only way a male CAST could procreate with any female would be artificial insemination.

But yeah, I never liked how Sega never really put much thought in PSO2 ARKs lore until a few chapters in when something resembling the Federation (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets) or the Jedi Order (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jedi_Order) was put in place.

I think PSO2 need a novel or a serious comic.
So that when the writers do research and ask SEGA, SEGA had to provide them with deep explanation.
It's happened before with Sakura Wars and Valkyria Chronicles.

I agree. PSO2 is sega's leading, most popular MMORPG. I've played budget indie MMORPGs that have more fleshed out lore than PSO2.

When I first played the story mode of PSO2 I couldn't help but think who was in charge of ARKs? Was there a leader on top? Did ARKs had structure? Yes there was the Council of Six but they gave me the impression they were simply elite ARKs operatives than of any official authority and it wasn't until Episode 3 when ARKs established it's structure.

But it made me question how ARKs worked all this time. ARKs operatives are trained but who pays for the training? We recieve missions from the quest counter but who gives the Quest Counter Clarks the missions? I understand Xion was at the heart of it all but most of ARKs didn't even know about her. And her brother Xiao only took charge not long after her passing.

Just so many questions how ARKs even functions. It seems to be mostly consist of specially trained mercenaries, private-owned mercenaries if you consider ARKs more of a business than a military.

Yeah, in the fantasy anime / manga, some trainings and missions are provided by the empire / kingdom.
The empire have the money from the taxes.

ARKS didn't even have an empire/kingdom funding them, unless you count the mother ship Oracle which given these ships are big enough to hold cities with citizens means there could of been some government managing ARKS but we just never see them, or if they did exist let ARKS manage itself entirely. They seemed like an independent military faction.

I know for Sega it be kind of knocking off Star Trek to base it's structure on the Federation or Star Wars to have something like a senate amongst ARKS and the civilizations on the planets in the game, but at least it would add some structure to the lore.

I can imagine Ulku or Casra negotiating with the Draconians and the Lillipans for alliance and maybe colonization, with Aki and Fourie as ARKS ambassadors given their time with the locals.

I won't be surprised if some elements in PSO2 were inspired by Star Trek.
The original Phantasy Star tetralogy's setting was a fusion between medieval fantasy and science fiction, inspired by Star Wars.
Still curious about the funding though.

I think PSO=PSO2 ARKs was inspired by the Jedi Order.
I'm afraid I dunno much about Star Wars, but I imagine the Jedi Order still had an "order" to it's monastic religious order. There was a Jedi High Council that worked with the Galactic Senate to ensure peace and protection for all across the universe.

The "Council of Six" as they were called had the title of council but early episodes in PSO2 mostly regarded them as elite ARKS operatives than an official council. Other ARKS operatives give them respect and authority because they were renowned during the first war against Dark Falz before the events of the game. They probably took charge over ARKS because "no one else did", but it doesn't seem on anyone else authority they were allowed to do so. It wasn't until Xion took over when ARKS was given some recognizable structure.

  • Most starting weapons in PSO2 seem to generate solid, lethal light, just like lightsbers.
  • "Photons" being a connecting force throughout the universe with ARKS operatives using it for attacks, just like the Force.
  • While Jedi are mostly lawful-good while ARKS operatives range on the Lawful-chaotic attribute, ARKS operatives are still a morally good faction, follow a set of principals and while may not look it, is actually an ancient order. Just like the Jedi Order.
  • Dark Falz were individuals turned evil by a corruption in the photon, just like the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force.

I don't want to say "sorry on behalf of Britain" because, well, it was long before I was born. And I find it kind of arrogant when citizens of a country use "we" to refer to historic events and battles their country partake in.

French guy: I hate the English for what they did in the battle of Waterloo!
Me: Can you even point to Waterloo on the map?

Truth be told I can't point to Waterloo on a map. I never served in any war so I think it's unfair of me or any British citizen to use the royal we when referring to British history.

And as a Brit, I can see why some countries out there don't like us. I bet the EU representative only knowother countries by whenever or not we conquered them at one point.

It's all in the past.
While I wasn't born yet, my father has experienced Japan invasion.
Japan was the cruelest invader among all invaders but now ...  many youngsters are otakus.
Even I enjoyed games and manga from Japan.

I mean, she's nice, but it's just a leotard, socks and arm cover thingies.

8-bit and 16-bit character outfits usually are that simple.
But the purple wig and the ears are the most important of Nei cosplay though, not the outfit.

It's all in the past.
While I wasn't born yet, my father has experienced Japan invasion.
Japan was the cruelest invader among all invaders but now ...  many youngsters are otakus.
Even I enjoyed games and manga from Japan.
Yeah WW2 brought out the worse in most countries, especially Japan with cruel militaristic practices not to themselves but to the enemies... But I'm glad I'm not the only one who believes that what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just too much, too tragic and horrible, even for them.

That's true. The anime with the guy who made Japanese dolls and the blonde cosplaying girl showed me just how much dedication and effort goes into the cosplay scene which I didn't even realize. So the right wig is important.

Ah... Yes.
You meant Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (My Dress-Up Darling), right?
I haven't watched the anime but I already read the manga (the anime based on).

The game server of Idola Phantasy Star Saga has been shut down on Aug. 22, 2022 (UTC) and users wouldn't be able to log in.
I've been playing the game daily since day one until the very end.
My level is 90 when the game's ended and probably the highest number of level I've ever reached in any RPG.
Too much in-game currency left in my pocket since the game's too generous with that, and probably that's the reason why it didn't make so much money like other gacha games.
I've also been a leader of INDONESIA Brigade/Guild/Alliance and I am proud enough to say that my Brigade is constantly in the Top 10 Brigades including the final day.
Thank you all for playing Idola Phantasy Star Saga, especially for my Brigade members.

And the scary thing is ... those weapons are still exist.
That's the thing about creation and destruction. When something is created, there's no turning back from it. Especially how destructive that creation is. When Japan was bombed with these nuclear weapons instead of regarding these weapons as too much for humanity, other countries simply went straight into manufacturing their own. That's the thing about scared humans, they either fear the weapon or fear not having the weapon to defend themselves with. And usually those who fear the weapons are regarded the fools by those who desire the weapon. And what can those who fear the weapon say about it? Those guys have the weapon!

Humanity should be careful on what ideas they conceive, especially weapons. Because the moment you come up with an efficient weapon, the side you're using it on will come up with their own variation of it, or take it from your people.

By "Your people" I'm not talking about Indonisians, I mean humanity and it's countries and tribes in general.
The song is too cute to my taste, but the music does share some similarity with Green Hill Theme.
It is a bit sickly sweet, just can't help but noticing the similar tune.

Yeah, there's no turning back from COVID too, whoever created it in the first place.
Humanity just have to adapt the so-called "New Normal".

The hard thing is .. as long as there are countries, there will always be weapons.
Some will always develop new weapons in the disguise of "to protect themself" from possible future foreign threats.

Rolf also possesses strong attack techniques and a few curative ones.

Sega did not specify the launch window for the new crossover content. However, the company had previously shared a roadmap that includes a plan to launch the PSO2: New Genesis collaboration Scratch with an anime franchise—which fits the description for Overlord—in November 2022.
In the preceding month, it will release a Scratch Ticket lineup based on Melty Blood: Type Lumina as its first external game franchise crossover.

🔵 - pressed on Prince Rhys blue vinyl
🎨 - ft original JP art from SEGA
🗒️ - 8pg booklet from gamespite

Sega brought in composer Izuho Takeuchi to compliment the new gameplay with a fresh flavour of music, ushering in a more playful refrain yet tinged with dark gothic fantasy motifs.
It’s a melodic treat for the ears that’s unlike anything from the previous games in the franchise and is not one to be missed by fans!

Rieko Kodama, also known as Phoenix Rie, has passed away.
She was a major designer for the Phantasy Star series, directing IV, and produced several games including Altered Beast, Phantasy Star IV, Alex the Kidd, Sonic 1, and Skies of Arcadia.
She will be greatly missed.

I'm seriously gutted. I believe she created 7th Dragon series as well, which in my opinion was the spiritual successor to the classic Phantasy Star format.


Oh man, every aesthetic choice about those two series was exactly what I love about JRPGs. I love those two series above all others. RIP, you will be missed Phoenix Rie!

Yes. I only played 3DS version of 7th Dragoon but I loved it so much due its similarity to Classic Phantasy Star series.
Also SEGA Ages Phantasy Star was my favorite game of 2019 but sadly SEGA Ages lineup was already ended.

Guess asking sequel of 7th Dragon for Switch/PS5/XBox Series X/S is gonna be hard now that she's gone.
She will greatly missed.

Yeah, language barrier sometimes prevent these creators from knowing opinion from many people around the world.
At least some of the appreciations were managed to be talked by SEGA Europe back then when they were doing interview with Reiko Kodama.

“In Memory of Rieko Kodama” – Remembering the Legendary SEGA Designer, Director and Producer
The SEGA AGES series was Kodama’s last project at SEGA.

Quote
In a bittersweet moment, Kodama ended her interview with Famitsu remarking “This might upset some people, but I work on each as though it were the last thing I did with my life”.
Kodama continued, saying “If I didn’t actually do it that way, I wouldn’t be able to make something as full of heart as these. And I really have worked on all of them as though they were my last project.”

We learn that sales for the whole company were 150 billion yen, up year-on-year, while operating income was 9.5 billion yen, down year-on-year.
Looking at the Entertainment Contents Business, which includes games, sales were 116.6 billion yen, up year-on-year, while operating income was 13.8 billion yen, down year-on-year.
It’s worth mentioning that Sega still predicts growth in both sales and operating income for the full fiscal year.

Quote
Complex melodies and infectious basslines permeate the soundscape creating a remarkably enjoyable experience even for those who haven’t played the game; it’s a score that won’t leave your head - or your record player - for days and as such is a must for VGM enthusiasts, particularly of the 16-bit era!
Now pressed on vinyl for the first time, Phantasy Star IV: The End Of The Millennium - Original Video Game Soundtrack is presented as a double LP, featuring an 8 page booklet with new liner notes from Retronauts’ Jeremy Parish and rare original artwork from deep inside the Sega archives!

About time the issue was brought up (in this comic), we see other users going around in bare covering, it#'s barely a teen-rated game any more because of it. Might as well go whole hog.

But PSO2 New Genesis wasn't for teens.
Late teens probably in some regions but still an age's closing to adult.
The game was rated CERO - D in Japan, PEGI 16 in Europe, and ESBR M (Mature) for North America.
Titles rated D by CERO have been assessed to be suitable for gamers ages 17 and up.

It will make SEGA a lot of money I'm sure, but SEGA would lose its credibility as respectable company in Japan.
Most big game companies in Japan always try to avoid CERO Z rating.

Yes, still it's not what the core of PSO2 and not what they're most focusing into.
If someone asked you what your favorite game is,
if you answered PSO2, you'll be fine, nobody will judge you.
But if you answered DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation or Senran Kagura Bon Appetit, they'll give you this kind of look...

Nope, back then before it's discontinued, it's a norm people playing PSO2 on PS Vita everywhere in public area in Japan.
Nobody's insane enough playing DOA Xtreme or Dekamori Senran Kagura on PS Vita though.

That's fair. Plus it's hard to imagine a PSO3 game different from PSO2. Even PSO2 wasn't that far off from PSO1.

Not normal, only in Beach episode... But of course in the game, we could use beach outfits in other places...
I didn't notice this was fan art. I thought they were more provocative than usual.

I didn't notice this was fan art. I thought they were more provocative than usual.

The costumes are kinda the same (after removing some layers) and there are more skimpier costumes in the game, but yes for the poses though... Fan arts usually are more provocative.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Rika is a biological construct created by one of the last functioning computers on Motavia.
She may be a little naïve (life in an underground complex doesn’t offer much life experience), but she’s a good warrior to have on your side in a scrap.

Shortly after the deal was signed, Sam Tramiel suffered a heart attack and control of Atari Corp was passed back to his ageing father, Jack.
With the prospect of seriously challenging Sony, Nintendo and Sega in the upcoming next-gen console war getting slimmer each month, the elder Tramiel wisely decided it was time to get out of the video game business and brokered a reverse merger with hard drive maker JTS on July 30th, 1996.
Atari, and the Jaguar, were dead.
As you can see from these scanned documents, Sega was willing to ...

Somehow they are looking more like Shining series characters than Phantasy Star Online characters...
Yeah I know the point of PSO2 is to look sci-fi anime, but I do believe that the fact it's obviously 3D rendered over 2D anime-like does sort of compliment what it's going for. It especially makes it less noticeable to other 3D anime games out there that use celshading to make it look cartoon like. Genshin Impact comes to mind.

Making game all by ourselves is about designing and programming, so there's no such thing as "natural talent" in designing and programming, it's an acquired skill.
It takes a lot of practice, right place/community for learning, never ending interest, and free time.
I used to make or modify existing M.U.G.E.N game characters and stages back when I'm still in college since I got lot of free time, but I never touch it again after I graduated.
I don't even have anything left from what I've made from that time since it wasn't my priority again when I worked and started a family.
The interest for it has long gone, only good memories remain.

If some how your playing this on DEMUL then the saving will crash it :).

When I was young, I really wanted to make video games. I envisioned myself as a new-generation Shigeru Miyamoto of Sega or my own virtual empire. But back then we didn't have easy-accessible programs like Unity or Unreal, everything was done by pure code and virtual modelling. It's all well and good to think schools and colleges will "just teach you that" but the schools and colleges I went to did not have any of that and just let me down in the long run.

Now we live in a time of Unity and Unreal evolving to allow video game making to be more adaptable, and I'm just super-procrastinating because after all my constant failures and setbacks, I simply lost my drive to try and make games.

Because of that, I'll never make "the ultimate Sonic game" that I've been wanting to make for over a decade.

That doesn't mean Nadereh is evil.
Every Dark Falz has their own personality so they still could change.
The Profound Darkness ? Now that's another story.
When the strength of the seal is abated, the most intense part of The Profound Darkness' spirit of hate leaves its dimensional prison and arrives in many places in physical form.
This extension of The Profound Darkness is known as Dark Falz.
With their journey in these new places, some has changed their personality, but of course almost all of them are still evil.

The Sonic the Hedgehog PSO2 New Genesis event is being held in honor of his birthday.
The hub will feature statues of Sonic, Tails, Amy Rose, Knuckles, and Dr. Robotnik.
There will also be a Special Training: Green Hill Sprint limited quest. This is a practice drill with item drops like a Curio Holy Ray.
It also offers extra quest point bonus rewards for getting rings and Chaos Emeralds.
It’s designed to behave like a Sonic level.
As a reminder, Sonic items ...

Can you talk about how SEGA and non-SEGA collaboration events are developed to keep these events true to their original franchise roots while integrating them into Phantasy Star Online 2 and subsequently in Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis? How do you go about deciding which IPs to include within the game, and how involved are the IP owners/developers in co-developing or signing off on the crossover content?

YK: In deciding which IP to collaborate with, we consider IP that have a high affinity with the PSO2 series and its players. Most of the time we will propose the project to the IP that we wish to collaborate with. For mutual collaborations, sometimes we get the offer from the other party and then we launch the project. Once we’ve decided to move forward with the collaboration, we create a detailed plan for the content to be distributed and supervise it. We also have the created content supervised in detail before it’s distributed, including the detailed text level and the content of the announcements beforehand.

Popona is one of playable characters in IDOLA Phantasy Star Saga.
She is a public relations agent who often refers to outside materials and frequently breaks the fourth wall by talking to the player.
Outside of the game Popona has also been a VTuber of IDOLA Phantasy Star Saga.
And then after the announcements of IDOLA Phantasy Star Saga shutting down, she was promoted to become New Genesis' Official VTuber.
Now once again, Popona is promoted to become SEGA Official VTuber.

Phantasy Star II - Sound Engine Replacement Patch

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FrzjGOQWYAMyGAr?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
These patches work to change the sound engine and PCM samples of one region’s release of Phantasy Star II to the other’s.

The original japanese release used a different sound engine than the west’s. More knowledgeable people have said to this hack’s author that it looks like it may have been translated into 68K assembly from Z80 assembly.

Meanwhile, the western releases (English, Brazillian Portuguese) used a rewritten 68K sound engine that (apparently) doesn’t bear as much resemblance to a Z80 program.

The western release also changed ...

Did you know that this year marks the 35th anniversary of the Phantasy Star series? It’s come a long way. To celebrate, Sega have released a brand new rock remix of the main theme for PSO2 New Genesis, featuring beloved Sonic musician Jun Senoue and arrangement by NGS community staff member GWIZOFTHESTARS. You can listen to it right now on YouTube, and if you log into NGS between now and November 21st 2023, you’ll receive this same remix as a music disc (Not a physical disc, like a CD) that you can play within the game and a poster to be displayed within your creative space. Both items will be absolutely free as long as you ...

Its well known by now that Ken Sugimori of Pokemon fame is a big fan of Phantasy Star however whats never brought up was the rumored Phantasy Star game by Game Freak.
According to an interview by Sugimori in the "Ken Sugimori Works", Sega approached Game Freak with option on several MD projects, A game which used a fast food chain’s character, a Phantasy Star sequel, or a Magical Taruruto game. Magical Taruruto was ultimately picked.
If Phantasy Star was chosen, PSIV would've been a completely different game developed by Gamefreak. The "fast food chain mascot" project may have been picked up by Treasure (McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure).
While not confirmed Eevee shares design similarities with Phantasy Star's Myau. Fujiwara and Sugimori worked at Gamefreak during their fling with SEGA so it wouldn't be shocking if they picked up some inspiration. If true this would mean Tails and Eevee share the same ancestral design lineage.

SEGA executive shuts down Microsoft acquisition rumors

According to Utsumi, the Sega Sammy Group isn’t open to be acquired by another entity, regardless of price.
“Many companies are interested. We feel honored,” Utsumi said. “We have attractive IPs and potentials. Companies owned by the owner. A strong owner. I don’t think that kind of transaction is going to happen.”
Indeed, Sega is already in the business of buying companies. In 2023, Sega bought Angry Birds developer Rovio Entertainment for $771 million USD. The company has also seen tremendous success with ...
