Whoa... hey... ps0. Okay, I need to pick this up, asap. I put 234312 hours into the DC & first Xbox versions. Is this one like that or the shitty recent ones? Note: don't argue about the shittiness levels of the recent ones. The last one I played - I forget which - was pretty terrible by comparison to the dc/earlier pso's. I just want a mag to feed, plz.

It's Phantasy Star Online... with a shitty character design and story.
It also has two new classes, like the HUmarl, and some new gameplay gimmicks like rolling to avoid enemies.
But it's PSO, so you can buy it without thinking too much about it.
Nope it doesn't, it's bad (which SEGA game doesn't have a bad camera?) but you can get used to it, trust me.Jtwo said:
Ok, here's a little tip: you have three ways of controlling the camera.
L = the camera goes behind you
Keep pressed X and use L/R to manually rotate the camera
Keep pressed R and the camera will stay where it currently is
What's the online multiplayer like? Is it easy to find games to join? Someone said this before in an earlier post, but if PSP had online multiplayer, I'd probably still be playing it. Loved it regardless.
My friend has the JP version of this, so I've had some hands-on time and enjoyed it. Forgot it was out in the US! Picking it up this afternoon.

No, PSP has an online component, but right now it's ad-hoc only. Sony is introducing infrastructure mode in the US later this month (allegedly) so one might be able to play PSP with people who aren't sitting next to them. Will dig the game out if this is the case.
Good to hear about the PS0 multiplayer. Will def. be picking this up then.

Whewwwww, no. You've got very very confused somewhere along the way. Sony is releasing Adhoc Party in the west this month for PS3, which allows your PS3 to act as a wireless server for the PSP fooling it into connecting to other PSP owners connected to the same app on their PS3. Still all on Adhoc, not infrastructure.
PSP2 however will have infrastructure mode out the gate with online play tied to your PSN account with a PSP2 'key', much like the old DC PSO one.

Should be some reviews coming up shortly, I've been sending out some copies to the community sites to check out. I'm not a PR guy, but I still want to see how it fares. The first review for the game was Nintendo Power, which was an 8/10. (Though I wish someone had told them about the right trigger + start for quick equip!)
For a four player party, I'd say definitely have one FO, one HU, and mix and match after that as necessary. Rangers are also pretty great for long range support, but the medley of different classes offer a lot of team play strategies.

Anyone playing with SoA employees tomorrow? (errr, today) I wanted to sign up but I have Chemistry class during that time. I'm sure it'll be fun for those who are playing. If you get a chance to play with them you'd better share any cool visual chats they give you!
Speaking of visual chats, I made an Animal Crossing drawing. My friend's friend made a really cool Tom Nook drawing. I tried drawing Redd and it turned out OK I guess. It takes practice using the stylus to produce pixel style art. Slowly getting the hang of it though!

I absolutely LOVED the soundtrack and all things audio related to PSO. Totally obsessed.
That being said, ps0 NAILS it. The soundtrack sounds like it's straight out of PSO.
You'll be happy!
THANK YOU.RubyEclipse said:
About the game secrets, I just hope we will be able to unlock those super-secret-weapons... like, you know, Samus' beam from Metroid.
On that matter, I want to ask a quick thing to GAFfers with a japanese copy or someone who knows: those secret Nintendo items - or other items for that matter - that you can get from the Password Machine... is that the only way? is it considered "cheating"?

Two gripes about the game: Limited customization, although the additional classes are nice... are they even useful? Second gripe: WPA only(?)
Any good mag farming guides (what does everyone feed theirs?) I've just been feeding mine 'grinders.
Also, does anyone else just hold X+R/L and run through items to pick them up instead of individually?
Been playing as a HUnewearl. Enjoyable so far.

Hey everyone.. I'm confused.
I'm at the mission where you have to get the plant for the mayor (like the second mission).
I complete it, and it says quest complete.. i go through the little story part, and then when im done i get my reward but its as if i never did the quest. No new quests are unlocked, and i can only choose to do the same mission over again. I've completed it twice now and the same thing happened both times. I want to do the next quest! is this a bug, or am i missing something?

What weapons do you think are the best for hunters?
I'm level 20 and have been using a Double Edge +30 for a while now. I have several weapons that are stronger than it, but it just hits so many times that nothing I have can beat it. Damage wise, are double swords the best?

Did you talk to the Mayor after accepting the reward? I don't recall if it was after that quest specifically but sometime early on I had to talk to the Mayor to open up the next story quest.SuperPac said:This is happening to me too. I finish the quest, talk to everyone I seemingly need to, go to the quest counter to accept my award, then when I go to take a quest the only one available is Mayor's Mission.

I did, yes. I figured out what I was doing wrong. You have to talk to the mayor, go cash in at the quest desk, talk to the mayor again, THEN go outside before the next quest will trigger. Guh, confusing. Why they leave the Mayor's Mission quest in the list at all is beyond me.

Wow, I'm seriously diggin' this game. It's the PSO sequel I always wanted and it's really bringing out my suppressed hate for PSU. :lol
It's flawed, for sure, but it's like PSO with some minor improvements and fugly graphics. Really wish there were more palette slots though. There's a whole touch screen to use! What were they thinking?

JCX said:So does this game not have Ra- and Gi- versions of techs? If so,
Well... kinda...
You can't collect these versions of the techs. When using one of the normal techs, hold the button a bit longer and you'll charge it up to use the more powerful version. In the tech section of the menu screen it'll show you what the charge-ups are.
Got it and took down the first area. I'm enjoying it, but the camera is driving me crazy. Is there really no way to lock on? The battle with the dragon was pretty epic though, I had to do some quick thinking in order to get out of it alive (the stupid girl died in about two minutes).
Did not play with Sega; looking at their blog, it seemed like it was a fairly successful event.
Did anyone kind of become surprised by the first boss?
As someone kind of familiar with Phantasy Star (we're talking PSPortable and the desire to always try Universe but never doing so), I'm enjoying this very much. I just wish the current quest you were on if you save in the middle of an adventure wasn't reset if you turn off your DS. But whatevs.

He was actually kind of tough! Well, until I learned his patterns... but I burned through a lot of healing items. By AI teammates didn't last a minute so it was up to me and to me only. Was glad to see a somewhat challenging first boss!

Can anyone with a Japanese copy tell me what i should put here in order to get Wallpapers?

Wonderful game.
Some improvements/changes I would suggest for a sequel:
-fully upgradeable NPCs - weapons, stats everything
-simple town sim instead of the same hub for every DS, layout affects weapons production or ease of healing, provides some uniqueness when visiting other players
-currently unused character profiles can be chosen as NPC support, given a fraction of EXP
-voice chat for friends, even though the doodle chat is fun
-more character design choices, perhaps unlockable by level progression, at least some more color options
-weapons should have a glow or some other effect when maxed out
I realize some or all of these might tax the DS, but a man can dream.

I personally did it at lvl 27 or so on my HUCast...dunno what we want to consider a spoiler, but...
I think the most important thing to do is try to clear the first part without getting hit. At that level, the second half pretty much used all my healing items. For the first form, the easiest thing for me to do is to destroy the melee post, the one that spins around. Any of the other two can die after that, since their shots will most likely miss more often and they will leave the chest/head open for you to go in and destroy it. One of them will live through it, I'd personally much rather have the shooting ones. The second form is much easier with range, but being a hunter I spent the first half using melee
Haven't done it with my ranger yet, but I may go and try to get there now...
