Hey guys, wow it's been a long time since anything has happened here. Thanks SEGA for finally getting around to publishing that once promised English version of Phantasy Star Online 2! *cough*

So does anyone here who's still checking this place (Or stumbled across it again for memory sakes) still play PSO2? The Japanese release I'm talking about - Because it's the only version there is!

I've finally decided to get my arse in gear and try it out. Installing it is proving tough enough, but when I finally get there, is anyone else still on it?

Obviously to install it I've got several guides (Not to mention K_I_R_E_E_K's of course - Here). I'll let you know when I get this b*****d working!

Also, any top PSO2 tips for a (I can't believe I'm even saying this...) newbie? :O

Hey guys long time no speak! I been wanting to set up a private server for me and my brother to play PSOBB. Now I got all my server setup (got that Sodaboy's one) but I have no idea how to share it over Hamachi any ideas or guides would be great

My computer isn't really reliable enough to play Blueburst any longer (And I never saw anybody online when it was reliable enough) so I've mostly been playing my old Gamecube version of the game. My goal is to get through episode 2 with my highest leveled character, a Hucast. The relevant points are as follows

-He's currently level 115 and at the Central Control Area.
-He has an ideal mag (5 defense, 145 power, 50 ATA, 0 Mind)
-He has the best double saber I can currently get him (Demolition comet. Want to eventually ge a Double Cannon. I'd focus on getting a Black King Bar since it's objectively better, but I can't afford a broadbad adaptor), and a good long range weapon. He could probably use a better sword (Best thing I have right now is a 35% hit calibur)
-His power is basically as high as it can reasonably go, what with 4 God Powers.

His section ID is Redria. I've got a level 63 Force with Viridia as her section ID, and a level 55 Hunewearl with Skyly (planning on using her to get a decent sword. Too bad Sealed J-sword is a 1/12604 drop).

That's everything I can think of that's relevant. Thanks for any advice you can give.

didnt know where to place this thread so i put it here.

Hi i'm S o m a [Tommy] i usually play HUcast ingame massive swords are my calling.My hometown is swansea,wales i'm 26 years old and i love PSO.

Been spending my gaming time recently on psp2:infinity.was considering gettign a vita for pso2 vita version,but i would like to get an english release if i can and play it on pc, but my guess is sega are gonna just not announce anything ever again and never speak of it ever.But no point being negative about it if it comes to western shores then that will be awesome.

if not by 2014 i guess i'll join pso2 jp hahaha.I would like to fight dark falz elder at least once before the game dies a horrible death xD

anyway enough ranting about pso2 my other games i play are 3rd birthday,any FF,resi evil series,MH,VP:L to name a few xD

i play an mmo atm its called FW[forsaken world] im a bard lv 47 ign Edin of the silencers guild [if im not booted for inactivity] i can't play as much as i would like to life is busy alot xD

posting from my 3ds so if you see this, its the very brief version.

Since the last thread (sorry, been meaning to do this for awhile) pso2 has had 3-4 updates (from hot springs to new bosses completely), the major additions are:

The dragon alter level (http://youtu.be/hBX-rvQdgN4 - free field run done by yours truly)
Level cap raised to 60
Hot springs team room
New skills and major reworking of hunter stances
10* trading!
Chrome dragon EQ
Egg rappys! (with easter lobby, with the psogc easter lobby music, so so good :'))
Naturally, costumes by the thousands.
Three new advance quests, with yet more psogc items (Twin brand and dragon slayer to name but a few).
Grinding buffs, its now slightly easier then before.

Now! for the future alot of stuff was revealed/confirmed over the last week or two (For the Japanese version anyway) that has me very, very excited. First things first:

A tower is coming to PSO2 very, very soon (in 2-6 weeks, is my best guess). Heres a small trailer video with some bits in action: http://youtu.be/rJAC6OpXzxc (The first section is the new forest base team room). From what we know:
You have 30 mins to 'clear' the tower, however that's done.
Each floor has a condition before you can go to the next one, IE kill 10 spardons within 15 seconds, or defeat 23 parts of the big vardha and kill it in 3 minutes. Also if you notice, there is a posion gas effect during that video, just to add more pressure on you...

Emergency code: Pso2 episode... two?

mmhmm, that's right. The second ark of the story has been officially announced, not many details have been given, however what we do know is this:

Three new classes (totalling 9, 3 is my guess anyway but makes sense)
New planet(s). one is an ocean based planet with a level on the beach/seabed (Anyone guessing a jungle area will be on the same planet?)
A new race! Dewmans make a grand entry into pso2 in episode 2, boasting high attack stats but lacking in Hp/defense's
The beginning and End of the Arks
The third type of Darkers
Who are the Photoners?


Unfortunately, we need to wait till at least June for more information, however have a trailer with some cool music: http://youtu.be/LTYZNGmRIwk (note at 0:43 how that character looks alot like the Hunewearls from pso1, a connection, perhaps?)

Anyway, part 2 of the imperial guardian update comes tomorrow, with a new time attack quest, possibly new advance quests and a new set of costumes \o/

Hello all! This thread is about pso GC.
Yes not many play it anymore but a small few do and this was meant for all or any discussion on it. Ill begin by saying I'm a old school player back in the day admin but now I get on to re-live the glory days I'm currently trying to worm on a software that makes a server for GC online tell me what you think of GC pso.

I'm aware the news is almost 2 weeks old now, but for those that aren't aware, seems as if we're going to have to wait a little longer to get our hands on PSO2

Polygon Wrote:Phantasy Star Online 2 delayed in North America, Sega confirms
By Griffin McElroyon Mar 25, 2013 at 6:46p

Phantasy Star Online 2, Sonic Team's online action-RPG which launched for Windows PCs in Japan last July, has been delayed in North America, publisher Sega told Polygon today.

The game never received a formal release date in North America, only being targeted for an "early 2013" release. Considering we're nearly out of the first quarter of the year with no word on the title's release plans, it seemed unlikely that the game would hit that goal, despite being playable last year at PAX Prime.

"Originally slated for an early 2013 launch, Sega can officially confirm that PS02 has been delayed," a Sega spokesperson told Polygon. "We don't have any specifics but will update everyone as soon as there are more details to share."

The title was also ported to Japanese PS Vitas in February of this year.

so, this information was updated on the official website about a week ago, but i didn't notice it till the other day, so here it is~ (note: I added some dates for the ones that haven't even been announced yet, however they will be right, unless sega changes the way they've been doing updates)
