Berto, I have a question for you. Why do you still post nearly every single day if you're the last person here?

Hi Spock, long time no see. 

Well, I figured since everyone is already moving into Facebook or Discord, this forum is probably gonna be shut down some months later. That's why I'll use it religiously before it's happened since I love this forum so much.



“Why does the bird sing?” said the Master.
Not because he has a statement, but because he has a song.

All of these posts are the songs that I sing.

Jeanne / Gene is Now Playable in Idola Phantasy Star Saga Global

Jeanne is a young 3rd Generation ARKS and the heroine from Phantasy Star Online 2es that's somehow got teleported in Idola Phantasy Star Saga universe.
While good-natured and always proactive, she has a rough time in combat due to how she interacts with photons.

Got Jeanne using free 10-gacha bonus in the first try.
I didn't expected to get her this fast.
Got lucky I guess.

I still check the forums about every other week, depending on how busy I am. If it wasn't for Berto, then there would be no other reason for the forums section to continue. 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.

Hi Superglue, long time no see too. 
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.


One feature in this forum that I love is that it show how much people visits,seeing that at least I could know that some people is still interested in anything SEGA related.

Dark Falz might have been taken a human form before (PSO2),
but not as creepy as Idola Phantasy Star Saga version.
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.

Thanks Superglue.
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?" 
And I think it works well since there are very few new members now. (we can see that at "latest member" info)

Phantasy Star II - Reduced Flicker and Flash Patch

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.

Got him !!!
Love his design. He looks so cool.
He was also the hardest boss I've ever fought,
even Dark Falz didn't as hard as him.
But may be it's because my roster hasn't developed well when I fought him.
