Phantasy Star Universe discussion thread

well I did own the original PSO on dreamcast which I did really enjoy...for 2 days, because the name of the game say it all, phantasy star online truly shine online and at that time I didn,t have a broadband connexion so I was stuck with offline mode. Well the game was pretty fun and I did love the design (I still like it but less then before) but really the 1 2 3 gameplay thing was the worst thing sega could have put in the game and that,s was stop me from playing...the only thing that got me to continue was the dagger weapon which look more like a 6 hit combo and was more fun...

so to return to the subject, I was a little worried about this title and I really didn,t pay any attention to hit, but I watch some of the recent video and yes i'm really impress by the new look of the phantasy star MMORPG

I love the new graphic style, well new, I'm not sure but I think they return to the phantasy star rpg on genesis graphic style (at least for the character I think) and I do really like it better.

for the gameplay I,m really glad that they change the 123 and go beyond that with new combo system that really look fun! I like the tank transport^^
we don,t see much but I really hope they will give us a really good magic system, because in PSO I don't know for me a mage wasn't really good and even more boring to play.

really I'm impress by all those improvement and i'll probably get this too, I may wait for a free trial first though. Now we will have to see how Sega will manage this game, like how they will manage "botting" or "game money selling" and all those kind of thing that can make an MMORPG not very enjoyable to play...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

well I think they are making it for PC, PS2 and Xbox360

and miyomi I don't understand what you're saying, because when I look at the video you do can create your character and not just pick one and name it...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

wow the game is so beautiful!!! really I like the design and all! where you on PC or ps2 for this beta?

I realy like the new gameplay, but I did see some lag issu (the video when you're in a team, the other character movement are very "lagy")

and I like the little cut-scen for the plane between planet ^^ (well i have t see it,s a rip-off the game Freelancer but meh I don't care XD)

I really like the animation, all is pretty smooth, the emote video really show that.

but will there be ani magic in this game? in all video I see a lot of fighting but I don't remember seeing any mage class, not that it will bother me, it's just a MMORPG without any healing spell or ability seem weird...

but really not I can't wait for the US release ; ; btw is there an official date?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

this Phantasy Star really seem good, I'll probably try it out on PC

I just hope that the all the problem that happen with the JP release will not happen in the NA release (after 2 weeks they had to shutdown all they server, and start again in beta because there was too much problem...that mean that all character was reset too...)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

that's not true anymore, now it's up to 1 year before the delete your charaters and even that I think now they don't delete it anymore (well I'm not sure about that but I'm certain that now it's up to one year before they delete the charaters on that account, but some eprson said they add they account innactive for more than a year and still got they characters back when they re-activated)

I was speaking idiomatically.

why do we have 2 thread about PSU? I think we should close this one or keep this one maybe just for the story mode...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

well with okami, VP2, TotA, FFXII, school and other thong I don't really have much time to do XD

so I guess the story mode will wait a little, I just played 1 or 2 hour in it, and the voice acting really hurt my ears and that what's keep me away from it XD and the fact that the game seem almost exactly like the online mode which I think it's better in online with other friends XD

FELIPE NO
