Poor western audiences getting literal scraps.
namefag, opinion discarded.
Is it good? I only ever hear about the character creator.
So is the game even good? I can't remember the last time I invested time in a F2P MMO.
Shut the fuck up, Onsokumaru.
Why are you still alive?
Shut the fuck up Onsokumaru
>localized when the game, by sega's own admission, is on the last half of its life
Why?
So is it good?? I'm pretty sure I liked it when I played the Japanese version for like 2 days, I still get moonrune emails from them.
Xbox cut a deal. Xbox needs good publicity, they're probably paying for hosting or helped with licensing.
I'm so fucking ready to play this. My Bros and I are going to sink so many hours of this on PS4
So what's everyone gonna play? I remember being a Force in PSO1
You just gave a reason
Pat better fucking pay Liam
Because it's not releasing on PS4
They canceled the bet, it was a yearly double or nothing, and Liam refused to pay when he backed out.
Liam technically still owes pat money
it could only be good if they change shit for the foreign market
Yeah, PS4. I can't wait.
...
So how long till we can actually talk about the game itself and not meme about platforms?
user im so sorry, I don't think that's happening
I play it what do you wish to know?
Yesterday.
Only six years too late.
>PSU made subbers mad as unholy fuck by being 6months to a year behind JP

The only thing this disaster will be good for at this point is laughing at the rage from afar. The fuck are they even thinking?
>Europe told to fuck off
>All crossovers will be skipped
>The translation will probably be worse than the fan translation
Why even bother?
Never. After platform memery comes "Which race would you fuck?"

>PSO2 is on the ps4 already but only in japan
>finally gets localized western release
>it comes to Xbox
I mean I know the first game was on the original Xbox and all and it's a nice return to home, but god damn this game is ass backwards. At least since there's finally going to be an officially translated western version on Xbox, it should be a simple matter to port it over to ps4.
well nothing specifically, I got to play it some. Im just curious about anything people have to say, or are looking forward to , hope to role and not LOLSNOY.
Somebody post a video of all the weapons.
I need to see what we have now.
>return to home,
Aida pls
A non dying playerbase?
8 years behind on release, not content, US version is launching with all content at release
Anyone who cared to play has/is already playing.
It would have been too little too late if it had been released to-day, but we actually have to wait well into next year. Why do they even bother?
[citation needed]
Not PSO1 but I’ll take what I can get at this point.
The trailer literally said ALL content
>this nigger has waited for eight years and still has these goggles on
Fuck I envy that level of delusion to view the world with.
Yes, it sure did. It didn't however say "at release".
The game releasing in the middle of EP6 will highlight how little of the game is even relevant anymore, and how shallow it is.
>newfags think "gee whiz, seven years of content to play!"
>sign up and download the game to find out that 95% of it is completely deprecated and pointless, even a lot of the newer stuff
But it might get new players in
is this going to have cross play with PC? is this coming to US PC?
Eat shit Dreamcast nigger. If anything, the gamecube is its true home. If you wanted to be technical about it, I'd have been an autistic faggot and demanded it come to the switch, but I didn't because I'm not cancer.
Yes.
I’m gonna recreate my girl, if possible.
I was right
trannies BTFO
You shut your filthy fucking mouth. Dreamcast is hometown.
>Europe told to fuck off
Please explain.
From Microsoft's perspective, they just made a deal hosting a ftp game with 8 years worth of content.
The only people ass blasted about being years behind on content are retards and weebs that have played the game already on jp servers who are gonna lose the very little English population they have left.
Enjoy playing ep6 in silence with japs...
who is this slut
So is it coming to PC?
Bouncer. Jet boots too much fun
Yes Xbox and PC
Are you fucking kidding me?
I loved the Dreamcast but come on, being real here, the gaycube stole pso and made it better. Especially with blue burst and plus, which both were additional content handled differently and poorly on the Dreamcast.
It's Sega.
Fag
Kill yourself.
SEGA are zenophobes also lootboxes
Pso2 doesn’t have lootboxes. I thought it was cosmetic shit shop only?
>8 years worth of content
Have you ever even played PSO2? If you did, you'd know that to be completely worthless. Half the shit added not even a year ago is completely worthless currently.
Reminder: the vita version is playable in English with patches.
Reminder that episode 4 exists.
scratch tickets is for cosmetics
What's your problem? You actually asshurt over something? Why? Don't tell me you only played PSO on the Dreamcast.
People aren't going to switch unless forced to. Blame the EQ system.
It unironically saved PSO2 so yes
Is there a Rika? I want to have tipped ears
Ff14 drone detected.
Fuck off back to your dead game, please, normal people are trying to have serious conversations here!
PSO2 has Scratch Tickets. They give you mostly cosmetic stuff, but a lot of really useful and extremely powerful gameplay things are locked behind them too. You can buy them from others with ingame currency, but the only way for new ones to pop up on the market is people getting them through scratches.
I didn’t.
I’m telling you to kill yourself for even implying that the dreamcast is anything else than series hometown.
it drove many japanese players away forever.
only you retarded weebs want it
You just described every ftp/mmo model lol. Of course your year 1 items are gonna be worthless. You really expect them to drop ep6 in a year? They're gonna milk the ftp market as much as they can.
Look at every other ftp mmo on xb1 currently.
Nobody cares about a bunch of Elevens with shit taste.
Pso2 is ours now!
You're thinking of Ep5.
Ep4 mostly killed the gaijin population while bringing in the most new players of any episode.
enjoy ship 2, bro
all five of you
I can't wait for the SEA translation.
He's not just talking about gear.
microsoft IS paying for hosting. Also there were rumors that sony wanted PSO but sega said no. sony's terms were probably
>censored
>must have a ps plus bonus
>sega hosts it
Sony has been too cocky recently.
Does the game have any cute waifus?
Microsoftbros win again!
Yeah that's a fact that the Dreamcast is the home of pso but for god's sake user, it didn't even have split screen co-op until the gamecube and xbox versions.
Please post examples to back up your claim.
my nigga
I do wonder how they're gonna space out content.
You get to make your own cute wiafu
Who needed split screen when you could play online with people around the world?
Only like 5 years too late
durr i wonder why hurrr
Is the game fun? Also when does it come out?
My big shit scary nig!
Which was also possible in the other consoles. The consoles which gave the game more features and content.
Gamecube had worse online than even the PS2 in america
Is Elenor in the game as well?
/psog/ weebs were having a meltdown over this earlier today. They don't want NA servers and are freaking out. It's fucking comical.
Almost 7 actually.

Why would you play this when FF14 exists bros?
go away
desu I'd already given up on this ever coming to the west and stuck with ffxiv.
PSO2 = soul
FF14 = soulless
My only MMO experience was WOW the first week of launch. I thought it was fuckin shit.
What's the best game in the genre to change my mind?
Yeah man I can't wait to play a watered down version with all the good stuff gone because the licensing don't want to deal with Microsoft because fuck Gaijins. Let's not forget about the exclusive costumes Sony and Nintendo got while also dealing with a bunch of stuff linked with Idola and PSO2es
It's like WoW then?
a costume
It's Nintendo do online is still something that doesn't even cross my mind when I think about the gamecube. It's such a strange thing that it could actually do it. I personally never played pso online on my gamecube other than a few times at a friends house on his Xbox, so I never got to experience it but judging from what we have currently from Nintendo, I can't even fathom how shit it must have been.
try wow again
Because I like a game with actual gameplay and not a cheap WoW esque hotbar babysitter
I'd play wow instead of a shitty wowclone

And that's not even mentioning the rotating RDR boost shit they do, where content is basically only worth running when they add special drops to it, or just straight up remove them from the game altogether when it's over (EP1-4 LQs which they repurposed into endless, chaotic city and revelry of darkness LQs more recently).
Wait for classic
Nobody cares about your shit opiniins.
Go be negative somewhere else.
>The translation will probably be worse than the fan translation
It will be the same since they will steal it like every late localized game.
I played FF14, it's braindead and boring. It tries to copy WoW and the expansions are the same formula in a new setting. SE is just milking that game for money. Most of the population are mentally ill trannies who ERP all day and have metldowns. It's a mess and most people only play it for dress up sim. I'd sooner buy a WoW sub than go back to FF14 but i'm not going to do neither since both are trash.
Is PSO2 any good?
It's hilarious, because we alread got PSO2 last month
Now tell me Yea Forums
I've played through the base game of FF14 and a good chunk of time into Runescape and had fun.
Will I enjoy PSO2?
I didn't have a lot of money growing up, so I'm going through all the MMO's I missed out on.
I'm gonna try WoW classic when it drops too.
It was goddamn mindblowing back in, like, 2010, when this shit wasn't literally half the market.
I feel like you're better off playing Dauntless or some shit today
that looks like mobile shit
Only for fashion and ERP.
>Casts biggest weakness in PSO was that they couldn't use force techniques
>They can use them in PSO2
How is it connected to PSO?
PSO2 is super interesting!
like 6 years ago, yeah
its different than both of those and relies a lot on action. however it is a very satisfying game and youll have fun with it until you reach endgame
PSO2 is a different game style. It's more of an action adventure, not an MMO.
This should go down well in the west
What collar is that?
I think they could in PSU too
If you want to play a glorified dress up game then sure, but at the same time you're also missing out on cosmetics and clothes because they're starting at Episode 6 rather than 1.
There's no reason to play PSO2 anymore. Please just let this game tank and close down.
is this the worst of it then
Races have mattered less with each new game. The base stats do change based on race but it's primarily a cosmetic decision.
I really didn't want to use my Xbox one ever again but this game forced my hand. I honestly wished it came to ps4 since I bought a ps4 pro for a few games and would rather play it on that, but now this game is going to make me buy an Xbox one X just so it won't look and play like garbage. Windows 10 ain't an option.
If you want to play it now then play it now, then you'll have something to talk about.
This will be DOA don't bother or hype.
>There's no reason to play PSO2 anymore
I didn't get to play it before. There. Found a reason.
Yeah, there's a shit ton of f2p action mmo's out now. Take your pick.
PSO2 is already out in PS4 in Japan for like 3 years.
Aaaahhh! Never say their triptag, it only boosts their ego.
The only way to kill a tripfag is to starve it of attention.
On topic, I can't even believe how excited I am for PSO2.
I hope it doesn't get hacked to shit...Or I guess I could just play legit on some separate lobby or whatever.
So does PSO2.
Stop hyping this please just let it die.
Depends on what you're looking for. The general is nothing but ERPers for a reason.
Based Sega!
It's not.
>PSO2
Christ I'd honestly rather play PSU.
I doubt I'd go back to it now but will there be character transfer? I kinda miss my cute newman braver sometimes
How big can I can make my tits
t. FF14 drone
We know who you are.
Don't count on it.
Is clem up yet...
Reminder if this announcement got you interested in PSO2 there's nothing stopping you from playing it right now, in english.
>NA getting an 8 year old game
lmao this game is shit
About the size of your head at best, without external edits. You can make them into torpedoes or melons, or anything inbetween.
There was a time I would have wanted to play PSO2, but I'm too into DDO now.
>torpedoes
Awesome.
Typically nothing outlandish but Sega just released an accessory that allows for sizes like
>chad PSO2 player vs the virgin ff14 cuck
Jesus fucking Christ FINALLY. I mean it'll still never dethrone PSO as the best video game ever made but I did enjoy what little I played like half a decade ago.
Yes user, but I can't decipher chicken scratch.
Didn't this already happen like 10 years ago? Unless it's a full rerelease with a bunch of changes I don't see this mattering to anyone anywhere. Best case it dies in six months.
Nah, I think it's the only MMO on xbox, at least it'll be the only weeb MMO. If FF14 had released on there then that market would be gone. I think that's why Microsoft pushed for it, they want a part of that market.
You realize you can play on PC in english and not on windows 10, right?
I'm curious to see what the community would be like on western servers/Xbox. Plus I have no idea if character transfers would work between different servers. I'm hopeful to see if it's like Ephinea but more lively.
NA isn't out until Spring 2020, this game will be forgotten by then.
>transfer character
>NA server closing down in a year or two
>cant transfer back
That would be hilarious but I highly doubt it.
Its a f2p, full release (if the trailer is to believe)
If anything it will survive for a year
Ranger it's the class I play in every game.
Your guess is better than mine, user.
>I'm curious to see what the community would be like on western servers/Xbox.
Log into ship 2 on the current JP servers and stand around B7 lobby. You'll get an idea very quickly.
>Didn't this already happen like 10 years ago?
No it didn't. Sega only released PSO2 in JP and SEA. They shut down SEA ages ago because no one played it. JP is now a cosmetic cashshop because nips are full of traps who like to play dress up.
Yes I do realize and I already did like 6 years ago with the English patches. I was in the beta tests for this game on PC and played it for a few weeks after the launch but the translations were shit and didn't translate the useful things so I lost interest. I hate playing games that aren't officially in English. Even if the current English patch is perfect, I'd still have to go through hoops just to play it again on PC since making an account required some annoying ass work to accomplish.
some similar terminology
Western pso 2 wont be going away for at least a decade.
Keep seathing.
The only notable part of making an account right now is the captcha but if that's too much work for you then by all means play on NA.
Honestly Ill be pretty content to at least get a year or two out of it
Didn't Sega already say the game isn't doing well in JP? Wasn't that the reason they never brought it to the west or gave it a full international release? It just didn't do well enough to justify it. I don't even the eastern version is going to last a decade.
No AIDA
I don't believe you, user. Why do you think this?
As big as you want, hun.
Just drink lots of milk.
>year 7 of the 10 year plan
PSO2 doesn't even have a decade left in Japan, you retard.
Can I get a quick rundown on AIDA?
The game has been in Japan for 8 years.
FFXIV sucks balls
tired of seeing that shit so aggressively shilled here
So is this game just legit not worth playing now? It came to us what, eight years late? Why did they even bother? Do they somehow, by some strange twist of luck, plan on supporting it for another 5 years or so?
Whats the closest to a cat girl I can make in this game.
dewman
Aida is a tranny who helped do translations for PSO2 JP. He convinced a ton of people to send him money for it and then ended up not using any of it on the translation. He stole basically $19,000 from the community and is now trying to weasel his way into the official localization team for Sega.
It was fun when I played it so yeah.
did my bro post this thread? i didn't know Yea Forums cared.
>game is said to be
>absurdly popular
They said they were planning to support it for 10 years so do the math.
You can outright make one, in many different varieties.
I played this series briefly over a decade ago, but remember nothing about it. what fascinates me most now is the cool /m/ content it has.
Damn. Xhe better not then.
The best comparison I can think of is Warframe.
>fun for maybe a month or two before you realize it's shit and drop it forever
>some people get addicted to it for reasons unknown and keep playing for years, although they don't really like it that much and never have as much fun as those first two months were
Don’t worry, you’ll get more.
Nope, number 2 mmo in Japan for seven years now and making regular profit.
Demand and supply, westerners want pso 2 and they’ll play it.
Three years is nothing and pso 2 will get there easy, stay triggered!
>hasn't heard of TK17 or SL
theres lots of "worst" worst games out there that have more ERP
Its year 8 now so Burgers get a game that'll shut down in 2 years while Japan moves on to PSO3
Does PSO2 have cosmetics that let me become a Kamen Rider?
>Why did they even bother?
Microsoft stated a while back that they were going to focus more on Japanese games because that's what their audience wanted. Sony/PS4 has FFXIV, so they want Microsoft/Xbox to have PSO2. They have enough money to throw at US servers that Sega didn't want to host to make it work and think people will want it badly enough for it to work out. They might be right (I think they are).
Yes, plenty.
The 10 year plan only applies to JP retards. You think Microsoft is really going to pay Sega to port it to NA just to close it immediately? How braindead are you?
Honestly if I didn't just build a new rig I'd even be really tempted to get an Xbone for this.
Yes they would do it
So what, the game stops getting new content in 2 years and microsoft just leaves the servers running for several more after that, while everyone already moved on to the shiny new PSO3?
Yes, what do you think they're going to do, hire the entire team and pay licensing fees to keep creating content for it like they were before the 10 year plan ended? The game has 2 years. That's not bad for a F2P game, take it for what it is and stop trying to fool yourself into thinking anything else is going to happen after Sega says the 2 years are up and start working on other things.
retard
You have 8 years of content to play and PSO3 will not come to NA for a long time. I doubt it'll even come to JP for a long time. Sega is milking PSO2 as is. To take a gamble and risk another PSU incident would be retarded.
>Demand and supply, westerners want pso 2 and they’ll play it.
I'd like to believe you but I don't. Asian MMOs don't have a strong reputation in the West, especially the free ones mostly due to China's practice of slapping random art assets onto WoW and calling it a free MMO. Most Western MMO players would rather pay a sub fee or copy of the game.
>JP stops getting new content
>the devs keep making new content just for the NA server instead of making a new game because ????
You're a retard, unless you're somehow advocating for Eternal Christmas 2.0.
Look at this retard, do you think after the content for the Japanese servers are done Microsoft are going to take over adding new shit to the game?
By that point PSO3 or whatever will be out too in japan at least so a ton of will just fly there instead.
My African American brothers.
>I doubt it'll even come to JP for a long time
It'll come in 2 years.
>8 years of content to play
You've never played PSO2, have you?
How badly will it be censored, Yea Forums?
>all the weebs on JP praying for this release to fail so that Sega doesn't IP ban them like they did with SEA
LMAO
>japan at least so a ton of will just fly there instead.
Can't type, maybe I'm the one who's retarded, I should go to sleep
Are there any other decent MMO's on the horizon? I was thinking of playing Kurtzpel but apparently that has its own issues and I have no idea what else might be coming
They will start on episode 5 or even 6 - that will give them +1 more year at best.
Did everyone really hate EP4 or was that just the western players being retarded? I am aware ep5 was so shit they were hemorrhaging JP players though
I typically stay far the fuck away from MMOs, but were the robot things playable? Can I wear gundam inspired armor and fight dragons? I would purchase the game the lets me do that
they emplace so quickly so much content we will get everythign and maybe west custom content, its rapid how much content comes out
>Didn't Sega already say the game isn't doing well in JP?
>Nope, number 2 mmo in Japan for seven years now and making regular profit.
From the game's producer:
>We regard the current situation of EPISODE 5 as very severe. The number of players has also dropped significantly.
>I am really grateful to everyone who is playing now. However, it is also true that many people are still dissatisfied, so we will do our best to make the "PSO2" better, and make improvements even more so that everyone who has fallen away can turn around. I will do my best to update. I will never do this, so I hope you will continue to support me in the future.
> - Producer Satoshi Sakai
ameblo.jp
They're starting on 6 so they have 2 and a half before support drops and developers stop caring
EP4 was only hated by anime hating gaijins, it was fine in Japan. EP5 killed the game for absolutely everyone though.
Yes to all of that.
the CAST autism is expensive but great. Yes.
Casts? Yeah.
yes
a little of both.
you can make your character a robot race and be a gundam yourself, but the giant robots are also playable in a few missions
>You have 8 years of content to play
Most of that content has been ignored and left to die by both Sega and the entire community, outright removed from the game, or locked behind the emergency quest system to ensure you can only see it once a day for 30 minutes, if even that.
Everyone went through playing with VPNs before and will do it again
Gotcha covered.
Imagine waiting 8 years to play this piece of shit because your dumb ass couldn't figure out how to make a SEGA ID
profit wise it was still no 2 during ep5. their playerbase PLUMETED to the point that actual game content had to be axed/delayed to fix the absolute mess that was ep5 launch. However their whales did not move an inch because the cosmetics so good
I haven't played at all, what happened in episodes 4 and 5?
Sega already said on Twitter that NA will only be supported until 2021.
>looking for good head part tickets
>you can increase the search price by 10m mesetta and still get the same fucking parts being listed
I fucking hate building cast fashion but I hate the visophone even more
>you spent 3 minutes doing a hiragana captcha
>i waited 8 years
Who's the retard now?
People waited 8 years because the tranny translation from Aida is literal shit and you lose out on so much unless you know moonrunes or don't care at all for all the non-translated stuff.
Is it worth it to play the original PSO on a private server?
Just looking at gameplay footage I really, really dig that visual style. Can't believe I never played it when it was new.
DELICIOUS BROWN
Has Clementine updated?
Oh boy my flavor text that means nothing, whatever will I do?!
They're in a live version of the server now, that means constant changes and tweaks ever few weeks or so but that means your character could get deleted after a major update.
>Tripnigger
Cringing at that alone.
4 was hated by gaijins because of a narrative and tone shift where the story was set on a futuristic earth and featured high school characters. Japan loved it and it was otherwise fine.
5 on the other hand introduced a massive gameplay shift that's to the introduction of an "advanced calss" called hero, which was meant by the developers to outright replace the older classes (you can imagine how people felt about that). The game design in EP5 changed to a faster playstyle that was clearly designed around hero and left the older classes stuck in the past unable to keep up. This caused MASSIVE upset with the playerbase and they had to spend the entire rest of the episode fixing their mistake by making the other classes viable again.
BOY, I WANT THAT FLAVOR, DAMN YOU!
THAT DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS FLAVOR!
YES, AFIN. TELL ME MORE ABOUT HOW YOU FAILED TO MAMORU YOUR ONEE-CHAN.
Yeah the official translation is gonna be really true to the official script, I'm sure.
>comes out in 2020
>supports and content ends in 2021
Who's the biggest idiot people waiting for the official english servers or Microsoft for supporting a game that has a one year lifespan when it releases?
there better be expert requirements or this server is DOA
But isn't there a system in place where you had to be a certain level or something to play the hero class? Surely the classes weren't THAT bad in comparison right..?
As purely a PR move it's great for M$, on top of it probably being dirt cheap to hire a room full of SEAmonkey translators and lend sega a server or two, they don't give a shit how it pans out when the average normalfag only sees "oh cool, microsoft funded the release of a game people wanted for years".
I bet my entire nutsack that AIDS is already ttrying to worm "her" way into the localization team. Enjoy tranny drama and shitty NA admins like PSU had
The people ESPECIALLY with the fucking appalling and abysmal service Sega has always had with non Japanese Phantasy Star games.
>final fantasy 7 remake
>pso2 english releasing after 10 years
at this point if nintendo ever makes an ocarina of time or majora full on remake my life will have reached nirvana state
You're like those Indians who keep shilling windows 10 saying how support for windows 7 is ending. Nigger, it'll still work and I can still play it. There just won't be updates anymore.
ep5 actually NERFED a lot of classes from ep4 on top of adding hero which was faster and stronger than all the classes and could use techs. The level requirement was even more retarded because you made a class that pretty much made every old class useless but you had to grind 3 classes to 75 to be able to use it. New players were forced to slog through 3 classes before being able to play the only good class.
>But isn't there a system in place where you had to be a certain level or something to play the hero class?
Yes, hero was locked behind leveling 3 other classes.
>Surely the classes weren't THAT bad in comparison right..?
It was EXACTLY that bad. Not just because hero was zipping around super fast, flying around with ease, and shooting energy bullets for free while wielding its giant sword, but also because all the new content from this point on was designed with hero's toolkit in mind.
>Ep4
Reverse isekai where you discover PSO2 exists in-universe as an MMO played by future Earth. It's revealed that PSO2 just takes place somewhere far away in space and the "MMO" is nothing more than part of the antagonist's millennia-long scheme.
None of the westerners liked going to Earth and the new class was considered too cute for PSO2.
>Ep5
You get isekai'd for real by the Profound Darkness and have to purify each of the Falz in this new world before it destroys everything.
They released a new class that was significantly faster and stronger than everything else at the time and admitted all content was designed around it to force everyone would switch. All Sega accomplished was driving out every single veteran, both gaijin and JP, until they started buffing the old classes to its level.
>shitty NA admins like PSU had
They were shit and so were the PSO ones but it was made even further when they could literally do anything because everything required permission from Sega JP and at this point I hope everyone is aware at how of shit state SOA / SOE/ SOJ communication was/is.
Okay but at this point the other classes are buffed to match right?
Except now imagine your W7 explodes when it's over instead of "no updates".
Yeah. Gunner is the current busted class but it doesn't dominate the game the same way Hero did at Ep5 launch.
The classes have finally recovered as of episode 6, but this is mostly through a lot of bandaiding. Several of the older classes still feel really clunky to play, even if they can keep up in damage now. The gameplay change from episode 5 hasn't changed, though. Its still a much faster game than it was before.
It's already on PS4 in Japan
I get this feeling they're pulling the Xbox first, PS4 later things and didn't put it on the trailer for the reveal
you dont understand the level of JUST that sega dished out that day
To give you an example: bow braver. a middle of the road class that would be complete shit tier if it wasnt for a single attack that did an assload of damage with no set up compared to everything else that class had.
Ep5 day 1 comes out, sega gutted the damage on that attack.
that was the only change bow braver received in release ep5
God no, Ranger is fucking trash and having more than one techer in your 12 person party means your party's DPS is trash
I suffered through NA PSO and PSU, I have no delusions that PSO2 will be any different. There'll be script kiddies out the ass, updates will lag further and further behind JP, half of the items will be unobtainable, and the servers will be shut down after 18 months.
At least I'll die not being a windows 10 clown.
How does force play? I love being able to heal and shit, is there a class that's dedicated to magic and can use swords as well?
Anyone here wanna try playing playing ephinea? Would be neat if i could find people that never played it before and just mess around
That would be Hero, it uses Sword, twin machineguns and talis for magic
>Magic
>Its still a much faster game than it was before.
It was already a fast game where bosses melted in five seconds or less. How did they manage to make it faster?
What about Phantom? They use Katana, Assault Rifle and Rod.
Ranger, Hunter, the dual blade part of Bouncer, and techer are all still bad
>no EU release
I'll just keep playing on JP
you mean the Bo/Te stat stick?
You'd probably want something like techer then, there are tons of weapon camos that would turn your wand into a sword. Hero and phantom more strictly fit this definition, but hero doesn't really cast techs for damage, and for phantom you'd either cast with rod or use katana, not both.
I mean fast in that bosses have gotten faster and more aggressive, as opposed to the older bosses who do nothing but big slow attacks with huge windups.
ultra hard exists now, bosses live for at least 5 minutes in there
>is there a class that's dedicated to magic and can use swords as well?
Phantom. It's a modernized Force that sacrifices the powerful Compound spells for stronger close range options and the ability to use a katana and a rifle. You're weaving spells between rod's melee photon arts, bursting the opponent down with your katana, or taking out crowds of enemies at once with the rifle.
Hunter is one of the best classes in the game currently, and te/ph is fine.
>played PSU demo for months just chatting with people
>"damn, I think I'll actually pay the sub and play the full game"
>didnt
>year or two later, get urge to play the demo again and say hi to old friends
>demo gone
>game shut down
Jesus Christ, Sega.
baked in mobility and dashes and double jumps to all the classes in order to match hero.
>DB Bo
>bad
>Sword hunter
>bad
shoo shoo. It is a shame about ranger though. Wish they were a little more than weak bullet: the class
Ph Rod is pretty good right now. like Force but with more options at the cost of no compound techs
Only sort of. Some classes are fine, some classes keep up solely in damage while being clunky as shit mechanically, some are the reverse, others are just straight up outdated and the fast-paced content makes them hell to play. Hell, even fucking Hero is in a weird spot because its damage revolves around a passive boost you get for not taking a certain amount of damage in a certain amount of time, but literally fucking everything will ruin that boost currently.
Hunter isn't bad these days, just that it takes a very different approach from the other classes.
Gee I can't believe a crippled version of the game worse in every way than the Japanese version is happening! What a shocker, indeed.
They literally said all the content is going to be in the game
Remove yourself faggot
PSO on Xbox OG was a huge success and it had no content updates and lived on for a few years before it had to be turned off. People underestimate how willing xbros are to have any mmo to play. With this coming out in Spring 2020 I'd imagine Microsoft will also include it for Xbox Scarlet which comes out @ christmas 2020.
Shh, don't let the metafags hear you having fun. Jet boots are fun though.
wow the game i was playing on my vita and pc is now on xbox
Reminder that time they released a new class that was way faster and more fluid than everything else, then nerfed all the other classes with the expectation that everyone would jump to the new class and play it exclusively, but instead people just quit the game in droves and they had to drop all of their plans for ep 5 to prioritize salvaging the mess they created?
and now its ep6 and the game is in a strong upswing
trust in ysok
8 years, imagine being this much of a cuck and waiting
>'They' say it, it is therefore true!
Come on, m8. How gullible can you be. You're also ignoring the fact that it's going to be running off Microsoft Azure. Lemme guess though, you don't see a problem with a Cloud only version of the game.
I hope it being Pajeet W10 and Xbone exclusive here lower the amount of trannies.
Also remember to not AIDS on board
twitter.com
pso-hack.com
Because fuck you I can be a Robot. Piloting a bigger fucking robot. While Fighting a really a big robot.
What other game allows you to that? Fucking none thats what.
Not like anyone gives a shit about PSO2's meta. The gaps are undeniable but the game is casual enough to make them even more irrelevant than in games like XIV.
Hmm...what about a pure support mage class? I know this is probably a retarded question considering in pso, everyone can deal damage in some form, but I'd like to play the most supportive mage possible while also fighting after everyone is buffed and healed and shit.
Well hell, this being a thing now rekindles hope for a phantasy star portable port or another single player phantasy star game. I mean I was already a little hopeful after the re-release of the first game. But considering how impossible this one seemed, everything's in the fucking air now my dudes.
It's coming to Windows 10 store only.
You want techer, and you can still swing your weapon around like a sword or cast offensive techs.
>azure
>no collabs
>even trash like odin is getting cut
hes right though
Techer is as close as it gets.
Can't you do that in Warframe? I've heard things about it but the game's aesthetic turns me off, warframe I mean.
PSO2 is the weirdest mix of casual/hardcore ever, where there's barely anything that is exclusively gated to hardcore players and most of the game is easy, but the casuals will sure as hell fucking piss you off when you get less EQ runs solely because of them.
Thank you, user. How's the mobility?
Yes, actually. Keep your expetations low, it's full of stupid changes and balance fuckups but it's playable now.
jet boots are good now thanks to phantom
dual blades are shit though
Seeing how we’re at episode 7 almost i’d say the situation is not that severe.
Keep trying.
Its fine.
no, it's dated trash with grind and Warframe copied the best parts of its gameplay
I would love a new game like this tho
Literally everything is only 1 run now though unless it's something like white day/wild easter etc.
They keep clamoring to raise the expert matching requirements but it literally does nothing because i've seen really bad players in my expert matched runs
Techer mate. Theres no pure healslut class but techer gets the improved buffs and field spells
Its also the sword/hybrid that you want since they're very much a melee class. think less white mage more red/blue mage
The newest EQ is multi run.
It will.
Keep trying what? I'm looking forward to playing a solid f2p game for a year or two until the servers are shut down. The fact that it's not doing well doesn't matter to me.
Warframe players can't ever call out a game for having grind, not in a million years
Also, would I be a detriment to the team by playing like this? I know a lot of players prefer killing everything as fast as possible so I was just wondering if I'd be seen as more of a burden than helpful.
inb4 NA is filled with pure heal/buff sluts that contribute absolutely no damage to the MPA
Enjoy your english voice acting and script localization.
Did you completely forget about Armada? The difference between a casual and organized tryhard MPA is fucking massive. 2/1/1 versus 3/2/1, with your drops in the last section being dependent on how many times and how well you do the first two parts. Hell, shitters were complaining about completely missing the third phase because of how slow their MPAs were going.
>I would love a new game like this tho
I wouldn't be surprised if they're using PSO2's short-term western run as a way to gauge interest in a western release for PSO3, which will be coming out after PSO2's eol in 2022.
that already happens
it's called techers on ship 2 block 7
I played that PSU demo on my 360 way back, is it similar in anyway?
No, techer buffs are very important, you help with mobbing, and te/ph does good damage anyway.
>more of a redmage
As a FFXI rdm main, I appreciate this comparison and am sold. Thank you user.
PSO2 is shit
t. played for over 1000 hours and quit after they introduced timegated gathering and crafting tied to a mobage currency
vs.
Which one of you am I supposed to believe here?
I would have been more excited for this half a decade ago.
Now it just makes me feel sad.
the game is structured such that a buffslut doing nothing but buffing is infinitely more useful than a retard playing a DPS class with awful gear
>Warframe
Please don't remind me how a good game such as that went into the tranny, no end game, ruined plot shitter.
which classes do organized MPAs actually run for armada? I remember persona was like 8 or 9 gu/fis
Welcome to FFXIV.
No, not really, its more power armored guyvers than true mechs.
> game's aesthetic turns me off.
I hold nothing against those who can fap to it. But I like my sci fi angular, blocky, and mechanical.
Why did you play it for over 1000 hours if it was shit?
Techers are incredibly valuable. You just don't want multiple people playing as one in a single MPA.
do we know if it's coming to steam or will i have to use the windows store for this shit?
most likely windows store
You need to do keep the mpa buffed and healed while doing damage. It's not that difficult bro.
But why? It already had one of the best unofficial translation support for any videogame. The unofficial launcher patches, autoupdates, and checks every aspect of the game to make sure it's up-to-date on any translation and even hooks into the game to translate auction house items to english in real-time.
What is the purpose of releasing it to the west if the main game and translation patch accomplishes the exact same thing?
isnt force > techer ? or is it the other way?
The classes don't matter so much as just not having 6 or 7 people with unaffixed Noxes and Stellar Walls.
For support? No.
Your days are numbered AIDA
Well is teaming up with people regulated to prevent this or is it possible to get grouped up with like 6 same class shitters?
Believe me, I'm the best support mage player in any game ever made. I won't be dead weight and can guarantee you I'll be the one with the biggest ballsack in the party.
Because they introduced timegated gathering and crafting tied to a mobage currency, dummy. Finish reading the post.
Techer is the bitch buff class. The only thing you do is buff, heal, and hit stuff with your wand. By hitting stuff, I mean slow dashing over to mobs and pressing M1 to do your autoattacks that literally any class can do, but yours has extra damage.
>actually import pso back in the day so i got a headstart over na release
>everyone is just normal and friendly
>na release
>hackers, pk’s, item duping everyone is behaving like fucking cunts, chasing normal people away and killing the playerbase
I will never understand “people” that do this.
really the ultimate support is Te/Ra but using it outside of planned MPAs is fucking terrible.
I meant turn off as in it just seems way over designed and gaudy, not that I jerk to it.
doll joints got me acting strange though
its possible. a full MPA is 12 doods, a full party is 4. So if you can coordinate its fine.
That being said it isnt the end of the world if you get some overlap
Which is piss easy to get?
And gathering is fucking useless after making the rings you want and there's barely any good rings anyway
kys AIDA
loli
Trash
Pick one
>timegated gathering
Sounds like GW2. I found myself only logging in to do that and figured I should just stop.
>crafting tied to a mobage currency
How does that work?
For random EQs and stuff its possible to get multiple techers in one MPA, but its not as big a deal as people make it out to be because the realizty is if you have a single braincell you're still going to outdps the majority of a random MPA even on expert.
loli, thanks
how rare is it to find a male healer that isn't gay in this game?
That dude is lying to you
Crafting isn't gated by anything except time, sure you can use real money to make your cooldown time go away but you can also get items in certain activities to reduce it as well
Gathering is about the same, you have stamina and can buy stamina drinks when it runs out with a separate currency, but that currency is handed to you out the ass from literally every achievement or activity you do, including story quests
Im gonna be a bara healer, and i wont be a fag.
>EQ scheduling
>for a country with a fucking 6 hour time difference between all its states
Boy, the gaijin sure are going to love that.
I dunno actually. defiantely a lot more females than males, but everyone is either the loudest LOL SO RANDUIM XDD kind of guy or a silent shuffler. Ultimately all classes are DPSes so theres little room for healsluttering
Everyone is gay in this game, but not nearly as gay as people in XIV
>DELETED
What did it say?
How's the gameplay?
>PSO2 SEA
>Trading
>Need premium member
>Stop for a while
>Play again, Braver class got nerfed so hard to the point almost useless
I'm glad and regret it closed down. Fucking Asiasoft on handling it
>plot
Just base it off central, easy.
>bara
>won't be a fag
You're going to have to prove this somehow because that's borderline impossible.
Well I'll definitely be a mute player, only typing only once every year or so, probably to call somebody a waste of space.
Don't you have some cock to suck?
Considering you're deadset on being a useless leeching Techer despite knowing full well DPS is king, you're already a raging faggot.
Why would anyone take you to 4 man EQs when the only thing you can offer is healing for people who never get hit, and buffs for classes that are flying miles away from your shitter ass, destroying weakpoints before you even know what stage you're on?
there's a difference between a fag and a hardgay
you know at level 85 techer gets a skill where they don't need to be next to you to buff you right, shitter?
I keep hearing people say shit like flying. Is there fucking flying classes in this game now?
>and buffs for classes that are flying miles away from your shitter ass
>user doesn't even know what the 85 skill does
Not to mention
>4 man EQs
Oh no muh deus rematch!
PSO2 has no soul.
Ephinea niggas rise up
>Xbox first, PS4 later
Bullshit. MS funded the localization.
I don't remember the exact story behind these 5 pictures I'm about to post, but I do remember that some user was extracting the models of I guess flat/loli characters at the beginning of the game's release and this is what the result was.
>skill that let's you buff across the map
Holy shit anons, that's fucking sweet. Techer sounding better and better. Is there one for healing people across the map too?
I personally only open my chat bar to spam symbol art at people who fuck up
only for your immediate party, and even then there are a shitton of retard techers who can't cast deband/shifta every 3 minutes and never once zanverse
2
Only classes that can prolong their time in the air with good usage of PAs meant to reposition the player. It's nothing new.
Got any proof of that
>that professor art
God damn I remember that shit all the way back in beta tests.
No, but enjoy your disappointment when you inevitably find out that it's exclusive.
>BoTe died for retard Tes who cant into zanverse
No but techer's resta and megiverse are fucking huge, its a non-issue.
3
I knew saving these pictures would come in handy one day.
holy shit this picture is fucking old.
>SEGA actually giving an excuse for shitter TEs to sit in a corner and spam shifta
The absolute state of this game. I'm glad I quit after Ep 5
>good usage of PAs meant to reposition the player
Or play hero or phantom and press any button.
I'm gonna play the PC version anyway, just would've been nice to play on console
5
I don't know what the user that was doing this did afterwards, but I hope it was successful.
Reread your post and imagine you're someone with no knowledge of Phantasy Star. Now you realize just how retarded that sentence looks.
These look like Elin bodies from TERA, not like bodies from pso2
you say that like most Bo weren't fucking retards doing negative damage with their own zanverse, although I do miss mother on release with hyper rainbow as Bo/Te
I'd be happy with just a sequel to PS0 but that's a pipe dream at best
Too little too late.
holy shit I forgot hero had rising slash and im mad about ep5 again FUCK
ONE BUTTON ROTATION
ONE BUTTON
pso2 sucks compared to pso
Im kinda glad I played it, but its honestly inferior
Who knows, you might be right. My memory has always been shit and Properties indicate I saved these in 2011.
???
The best DPS was Rising Slash -> M1 -> M1 and repeat. Not complicated but it wasn't 1 button.
Sup, WIll
I've never played a Phantasy Star game, what's the gameplay like? Is it anywhere close to Xenoblade's? Because people always call Xenoblade an offline MMO but I've yet to find an online MMO with gameplay as fun.
You mean Vapor Bullet > Vapor Bullet > Norm 3
imagine being on a thread for pso2 and trying to make jokes about the jargon for it.
I literally don't understand what they mean only in America.
Do nips not understand the internet? Or not realise eurocucks can speak English?
no very different. PSO2 plays like an action game.
If you played wow/ffxiv im sure you can tell they play almost identically to xenoblade but of course the single player version is more fun because you dont need 20 other retards doing the song and dance correctly to have fun
Watch it be a licensing thing for some shit they decided they could bring over for NA from JP.
It means they're trying to make 4 instances of the game.
PSO2, PSO2 SEA, PSO2 USA, PSO2 Europoor
PSO2 is like Tera in a way but with 360 degree combat
Aerial combos and such
the same way the japanese version is japan only despite mutts and muhammads playing it now
I think 'has' is the key word
I played it at release on the jap severs because I love the series but only stuck around a few months, the only English groups were too autistic for me
I would happily give it another go on a proper English release
PSO/U is not a MMO.
Not like it matters in the end but it's amazing to me how many people to this day label it as such.
SEA is already dead so now there will only be 3
>CTRL+F
>"It's too late"
>0 results.
It's too late.
Pso games are action rpg mmos while the rest of the franchise is jrpg’s.
First one is a dungeon crawler with first person perspective and the others are regular rpg’s.
they're covering their asses so they don't get complaints from nigel the bong that he missed every single EQ because he lives 8 hours ahead of north america
PSO2 is all action based. Think Vindictus/Dragons Nest, but more focus on vertical movement and clusterfuck spawns.
I played the Japanese version for a while before there was English patches. Actually really enjoyed it. Played it again for a little while with patches, but I'd fallen out with the friends I'd had that I played it with so I just played it by myself for a bit and got bored. Always said I'd play it when/if it came to the west, so I'm gonna try it out for sure. At the very least because there's sure to be a huge community for at least the first month.
What's the erp status in this game? Do people openly act like degenerates or is it low key and personal room only shit? I really don't want to have to put up with any more cancerous people after having FFXIV be my most recent mmo.
Yes there is, why start a character now when you're gonna have to restart again later
Where my Castbros at?
>have to
To have fun?
>That entire forum post
What the fuck?
Are people hyped to play it just because of the "western PSO2 never ever" or are there people genuinely waiting for it? I tried it a few years ago and couldn't get into it, I much prefer the first one. Yes, even the card game.
pso2 players, specially ship 2 block 7, relish the depraved and taboo. however to get to the quality stuff you need a lot of tact
here broski. Still trying to find a good looking head that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. Im still wearing my god damn faren head
And let me guess, tact is something nobody has in this game, and everyone is just gay.
Anyone who cared enough played it already. Still it's cool to play with fresh new players.
Fuck man all this talk about PSO2 is making me want to play again.
I played a ton of this year's ago, if your thinking your gonna get dreamcast pso I can assure you your not. If it changed its name and had the the Nexon logo on it no one would question it
The former. PSO2 probably has the smallest barrier to entry out of any MMO not released in NA to play as a gaijin, and the unofficial patch, while shitty in parts (mainly fucking retarded name changes and choices), is comprehensive and expedient enough so that it's essentially a non-issue.
I'm excited for it, but I played the JP release with the english patch for the first like 2 years of its life or so.
Mainly interested in seeing everything I've missed since then and actual NA servers would be a good opportunity for that
>Nexon
Look you can hate PSO2's cosmetic gacha and premium conveniences but lets not pretend sega is anywhere near nexon's level.
>Joined ship 2 a LONG time ago "because that's where all the English speakers were"
>Can't leave because I have over 300 hours and I REFUSE to give this game any money
With pso2 they absolutely are. Would rather a port of pso1 to pc and current gen.
I might give it a curiosity glance. I've found my way around MHF before but haven't mustered any real determination to try out PSO2.
The nips are laughing it us!
Can i make a shortstack character in this game?
You don't even really need the english patch per se. You can scrape by a lot of the game operating off of mere pattern recognition and common sense, not being able to read a damn thing. It's how you had to play back when it first came out before the English patch became a thing
PSO2 isn't remotely p2w enough to be compared to nexon.
I've heard the most fun you could have is dressing your character up, and if none of the collaborations are coming, then it loses part of its appeal. I mean, good for you guys if you like it, and I'm glad Microsoft is bringing it to the West* (*NA only for now). Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I really hope for a new one.
Yes.
They can choke on my 13 inch bbc.
We run dis shit now!
Basically the disgusting tranny behind the english PSO2 community ripped off the community to the tune of twenty thousand dollars
I will admit playing dressup was one of my favorite parts of the game and I'm pretty bummed about not having my OG character on the NA servers
But I see it more as an opportunity to try new things instead of just defaulting to what I always wore on JP servers
Can anyone redpill me on Aida, seems like she took the money and ran, but honestly, most of it was scrubbed
Nice. Guess ill check it out on my laptop.
>she
>Knew it was a biological male based on the forum post screenshots
>Turns out is also a tranny
Are there ANY trannies that give the LGBTQIABCDEF+ community a good image?
The 40%.
>half the items will be unobtainable
Way more thank half and basically guaranteed since little if any of the collab or promo items will be present in the western version
He and his sycophants own and control the community entirely, it was absolutely memory holed with prejudice.
beat me to it
Yea, I get that, which is annoying seeing how hes a staple in the FFXIV community now it seems running the stupid BA discord
How does the core gameplay compare? Looks a bit more actiony than PSO ep1,3,4 which I remember being quite chill. Is the loot system and character progression similar? How important are mags?
This isn't w10 only,right guys?
I doubt it
no but its still a shit game
>Is the loot system and character progression similar?
No.
>How important are mags?
Very large stat sticks.
I'm just happy we're getting it at all, and doubly happy that I got a Xbone S for $160 recently.
W10 Xbox Store & Xbox One
hello NA newfags, just a reminder if your character doesn't look like this, you'll be cursed with bad drops and low dps
Ma favourite part is how Maidoll actually plays PSO2
do you think maidoll is a thot with big titties too?
official outfit btw, no hate jannies.
For everyone that played/still plays this game, can I see players more than 10 metres away yet? When I played PSO2 2 years ago or something I know there was a slider that made it so I could see up to 100 players, but only if they were within 10 metres from my character and they only way I could see beyond that was with a modtool that stopped being updated.
Doesn't look that way from where I’m standing, XD!
maidoll used to shitpost on /vg/ so almost certainly not.
Is that mustache supposed to remind me heavily of Dr. Robotnic?
Always hated how square the hips in this game looked. Like there's no way to make a phat ass and thigh character without having pointy hips.
Screenshot is from Nova but lady Casts have this lovely get up
Who do you think makes PSO2, user?
I'll probably play it since my friends are interests in it and I remember early on the fan translations being a pain in the ass to implement. I just hope their updating schedule isn't too far behind and they're not gonna do the same shit as Fate Grand Order where they follow the same timeframe to give players the "same experience". Speed that shit up.
Based
So I don't know how this works, since they're releasing it at Chapter 6, does that mean we cannot play through Chapters 1-5 story content? Or is all that still available to play through?
the story itself is permanently available and just a series of cutscenes and a few quests, the content from 1-5 is largely irrelevant and worthless but also still mostly available
Is there a list of total collab projects done with PSO2? Kinda curious what will probably dropped for the Western port due to licencing issues. I imagine all Sega IPs will still be there.
>literally 7 years later
Fuck off. I would've been onboard until 2015 but now it's just microwaved shit.
The short version is a fuckton of anime collabs and some japanese game collabs.
You had all the chance in the world. I tried it out years ago, but I just didn't really enjoy it all too much. Probably that I just don't seem to like MMOs and had nostalgia from the first one's split screen.
enjoy your dripfeed content
PSO2 has the same cast parts.
The short answer is 99% is gone
Long answer, anything related to an anime, Japanese brand, or game is not coming over
