Phantasy Star Online 2 - New Genesis 2021

JP PSU still has a fairly solid import community I think. I haven't touched it in close to 2 years personally. Most of the OG's from the vanilla era have moved on though. The whole cash shop thing alienated quite a few of them.

so is there really a serious chance this (PSO2) wouldn't make it over here? i wouldn't have thought that, but after some comments in here i'm wondering. PS was my favorite series growing up, and outside of a true PSV or good MMO (yeah right) this looks exactly like what i would want to waste most of my time on. wasn't a fan of PSU, but "PSO on steroids" would make me happy

Pretty much the definition of Phantasy Star Zero.

Topic has made me pickup PS0 again.

Also wish I had my Gamecube still so I could download TTF and maybe finally get 200 on my RAcast for old times sake. But 183 is still quite a way.

Whenever anyone at Sega starts talking about "international releases" for this, they're going to immediately point at PSU as a barometer for how well they expect the game to perform. If you go by how poorly it performed in the US and EU, it wouldn't be any stretch of the imagination to say that Sega is going to think twice before bringing it stateside. Is it a complete improbability that they'll release it here? No, but on that same note, I think there's just as good of a chance (if not better) that they won't release it outside of Japan as there is that they will.

Yep :3

More stuff for the lazy:

There will be multi-party quests, in addition to multi-party areas.
Techniques and items can be linkted to the number key palette mneu.
Lip color will be a character creation customization option.

Hucaseal looks boss.

I'm wondering what's going to happen when you switch class, will characters have preset appearances for HU/FO/RAxx? It's looking more like they're sticking to the PSO style of each class looking very distinct rather than PSU's everyone can wear everything idea. I think this is a great move, I'm just wondering how it'll actually work when it comes to class switches.

I find myself really looking forward to this, now.

Edit: Was this posted? http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content.../07/hunewm.png

FOcast and HUnewm look pretty awesome, here's hoping their stats don't let them down.

**Fallyn** · 2011-08-02 05:21

Can you class switch? Was under the impression you couldn't.

**Akiyama** · 2011-08-02 05:34

If we read into the context clues, it seems like it'll be possible to class switch. Here's hoping.

As for that last picture, vadre.. it wasn't. That looks awesome.

Info didn't seem to say you could, but it did say this:
# Class skills can only be used on the class you learned them with.
# For example, a skill learned as a Hunter cannot be used by a Force.
Kinda insinuates that you can class switch, just need official confirmation basically...

Gonna have a going away party before this game drops.

**Akiyama** · 2011-08-02 07:30

And why's that? :3

**Nitsuki** · 2011-08-02 07:44

Class switching has to be a must. PS

ortable 2 has the switching and allows you to have certain passive skills passed on to another class.

Oooooo i'm so fucking hype for this!! HUcast again do want!!

Also, i hope that sega becomes generous like PSO and makes the game multi-language. I'll gladly import again if that's the case.
