Phantasy Star Online 2 - New Genesis 2021

Alright I'll watch all this shit but have they given a release date?

**Ryko** · 2011-07-26 19:57

Okay, read, money gib.

**Tymon** · 2011-07-26 20:06

This can't release any sooner.

This game has to do a lot wrong to get me to NOT play it. Quite a difference from most of the games that have to do a lot right to actually get me to purchase it at all.

**Akiyama** · 2011-07-26 20:28

Yeeeah. I'm just stunned by how amazing the customization is. I'm always like "FUCK BITCHES, HUMAR TIME".. but this time, I may make a Cast just because I can make a motherfucking gundam.

**Scythiroth** · 2011-07-26 23:07

So, I just noticed this, but in the character creation video from the press conference, it shows casts as force. >.> Quite odd seeing them with wands/staves and I have no idea how that will work since they didn't have mp before.

From what i saw in an earlier video, they're doing the PP system again. Which imo kinda sucks cuz of PSU, but the way it was done in PSP2 it was a lot better. Hopefully forces don't suck like they did in post PSO games. Every class in PSP2 is able to use PP, they got rid of the MP overall.

Oh, I never played any of the portable ones or PSU. x.x

Has there been an NA version even announced yet? This can only be awesome provided they've learned from PSU

**Gekii** · 2011-07-27 00:32

with the 12 player online thing, i look forward to giant leveling sessions with my brahs and everyone else. excite

**darkepyon** · 2011-07-27 07:07

I'm sure they have some epic 12-man fights in store for us. Let's see if they treat their users outside Japan any better this time around. I still have the account I used for JP PSU back in 06/07 with the address pointing to a Japanese night club.

This Edward is a GM for PSU, or maybe just a forum admin? idk I don't play or understand half the drama, but his attitude is absolutely disgusting and has ensured me that I won't be buying PSO2 unless it's either a totally different team handling it, or the servers are worldwide.

Edward is an employee of Sega of America. Read like two pages of this thread. Has me pretty worried if they decide to release on PS3/X-Box 360. Never played PSO-BB on the official servers but I heard they handled the international servers pretty bad as well.

SoA and SoJ have a very unhealthy relationship from what I've researched and it seems like SoJ takes it out on SoA and by proxy us. I wouldn't be suprised if getting the Japanese version would be better than touching any international release because I'm willing to bet they're gonna separate the servers like they have been.

When it comes to Sega, pretty much.

**Chrian** · 2011-07-27 19:20

well better start studying.

To be fair, they did handle PSU better than they did BB. But that really isn't saying much.

As much as I am pessimistic about PSO2, I know I'm going to end up buying the English version when it comes out, even if I do decide to play on the Japanese servers :/ PSO pretty much was my teenage years.

Edit: Also the PSO/PSU/PSP games have never really been that hard to play even if you don't understand the language. They're pretty good for using symbols and shit for items and weapons that it's pretty easy to figure stuff out with absolutely no knowledge of the language. Of course it wouldn't hurt to know a bit of Japanese.

**Not Kuno** · 2011-07-28 00:05

What did they do with BB online that got everyone pissed? I was long gone by then, and only played PSU on the psp super casual.

Hackers pretty much right from the stop that were never dealt with, delayed content (A few quests that were on GC never made it to the official BB servers), I'm sure there's more but I didn't play BB much, was just sorta around in the community.

The one thing I'll never forget and makes me hope SoA has nothing to do with running the servers (If they're global) was an incident that happened when BB was still online. The main GM and admin of the official forums, Clumsyorchid, joined a community IRC channel using a different name (I forget why he did though), and when he was outed he proceeded to ban users from the forums who were ops. I'll see if I can find the actual IRC logs and forum topics, but I think they're lost by now.

edit: nah, fuck it. Thread should stay about PSO2, not about SoA's fuck ups :>

**Akiyama** · 2011-07-28 03:26

Was just about to say. We know how awful SoA is, and don't need to rehash over it. No one will ruin my super hype for PSO2. NO ONE. :<

So, how about that hype? I'm super hyped.

@Gekii Yeah brah, gotta get our grind parties on.

**Fallyn** · 2011-07-28 04:55

i am also super hype

**rezn0r** · 2011-07-28 08:44

I'M SO SUPER HYPE
