Forgot all about this game as I rarely come into community side. Registered ID and downloading now. PSO was my first online game. Judging from the screenshots this looks like that on steroids.

Are you planning to use the friend invite system? If yes, you could use my ID for some badges and stuff - 10077436. If you're planning on playing on ship 02 and want an invite to the gaf team, shoot me a pm when you're online.
Also, since this thread is a bit outdated, you can check the changes since release one to see what's been added to the game.

btw, is there any particular reason Ash, Sue, Gilliam, and Lupika are always shown together? I never played PSO so I don't know if there's any back story behind it or not...

Thanks for the info in that update post. This really looks like a nice time to jump in. Especially with the english patch. And damn, the screenshots are drool-worthy. Such awesome monster designs!

I might take you up on that offer for the badges and stuff. Will certainly send a PM when I want to meet some folks on Ship 02. I always start these kinds of games tinkering solo and learning the ropes. Is it particularly solo friendly?

They're SEGA's "demo PCs". They use those same names every time they demo content. They've been doing it as far back as the original PSO.
They also use SONIC, KNUCKLE, etc. at times, as well.

Just finished episode 0 and I am in the lobby. Wow! This is really it...Phantasy Star Online 2. Color me impressed so far. I love how natural the controls feel. Not once during the tutorial was I ever confused. Looks very crisp visually as well.

I chose a burly Cast because Sega makes some really nice mech designs. I entered Keiician's code when making character. Where do I get whatever gifts are recieved from that?

So yeah, this is my kind of game. Already washing away the taste of Universe. Can't wait to sink some quality time into it.

You'll get badges as you level up (1 badge for lv 10, 2 for lv 20, 3 for lv 30, etc...). You'll get a message sent to your mailbox when you earn one and you can then pick them up from the bank by selecting the promo storage inventory.

When you're ready to spend them, take them out of the bank and go to the shopping level in the lobby. Head for the lowest floor with all the TV screens and you'll find some shops tucked in there including the badge shop. Costume accessories cost between 1 ~ 4 badges while the weapons all cost 5.

Level cap raise without new zone or difficulty introduction? Hmmmm!

I can only hope they increase MPA spawns or something alongside that. As if we really need even more power than we already have...

Loving the Dark Falz E. Quest. That quest has gotten me up 2 levels already, but the drops are not so good. Is there really anything good that he drops?

I got a rod that I had to take to get identified but I can't use it since I'm a Ranger, and I can't sell for profit. I got it from Hard Dark Falz E Quest

Copy and paste the name? You can hit Ctrl+C while highlighting an item to copy its name into the clipboard.

Or take a screenshot of it and show us that.

Click to expand...
Not even a little bit. You can't even voluntarily drop anything for other players to pick up, aside from healing items.

The only penalty from my experience is that if you return to the campship (if no-one revives you with a moon atomiser) then you cannot get an S rank for the mission.

Hell no. Too many problems with that old system.

1. You could die and lose connection to the servers before you make it back to where you died, weapon & mst gone forever.
2. Could be in a game and die, some random decides to help themselves to your loot, leaves game, weapon & mst gone for ever.
3. Someone joins game, uses hacking program and PK's you, takes your stuff and leaves game or kicks you from your own game, loot gone forever.

That is really disappointing. One thing I loved about the original PSO on dreamcast was the ability to trade via drop stand off and losing your weapon when you died.

It really made you earn peoples trust in the game and when someone screwed you over you blasted their them across the server in the lobby. lol

You know those guys who'd wait for things to die/crates to explode and run and grab the red box drops? Those days are gone too. The drops that you see are your own, no-one else can pick them up, loot is unique for everyone in the session.

Things have changed a lot, but it makes it much easier to jump into games with randoms.

Feel free to throw me a friend request too; I'm not in the NeoGAF team but would enjoy the company all the same (though let me know who you are first). My Player ID is StarCreator - don't add me by Character name because it's not unique!

Finally unlocked Desert, only had the game since OB started (lol). Thanks Keiician for the help, though I ended up A ranking on that run, so I did it again and managed to actually beat the boss by myself (and partners) haha.

From g-heaven's twitter - according to Sakai, the 10* weapons that are going to drop more often in the "Advanced Q" added to PSO2 later this year will be new ones, not the current ones. Information comes from a chat during the Jump Festa.

I wish they would add some sort of Bestiary. Maybe something that updates as you kill a bunch of monsters. With images...

especially the images. Trying to make some sort of progress on the subclass quest but I don't know what exactly I'm hunting. Or they should just base quest goals on what I call the enemeis:

Armadillo thing
Dragon thing with tusk arms

Not sure what the other thing is... but I've killed 1 apparently.

You can use this guide - it has pictures of monsters you need to kill for COs.

Yup, I know it's called the Gilnas but not really sure where it is or what it looks like. I'm guessing it's probably the Desert since I wasn't there long enough to remember any of the enemies.

Gilnas are the silver robots that break into three pieces once killed the first time. In Desert they only spawn as part of an E-trial.

Oh right those, shame I didn't get the quest sooner then, I've gone through a few of those guys already. Probably wont get the tusky dragons anytime soon since I'm pretty sick of V. Caves after being stuck in them for so long haha

Looks like they've started sending out the Vita beta selection emails, I'm in!
Title of the mail is "&#12302;&#12501;&#12449;&#12531;&#12479;&#12471;&#12540;&#12473;&#12479;&#12540;&#12458;&#12531;&#12521;&#12452;&#12531;&#65298; &#12463;&#12525;&#12540;&#12474;&#12489;&#946;&#12486;&#12473;&#12488;&#12303;&#12372;&#24403;&#36984;&#12398;&#12362;&#30693;&#12425;&#12379;" and it contains a PSN code.

It will run from 15.01 to 26.01 (the dates can change).

Emergency Quests are limited-time missions that pop up at random. They start on the hour, with 15 minute notice. Most last half an hour, but the one that was up (Big Vardha, the boss of the Mines area) only lasts 15 minutes. It's best to head to a populated block corresponding to your difficulty level (5-8 for Hard, 9-12 for Very Hard IIRC) as soon as you hear the announcement that it's going to happen. Especially if Dark Falz is announced.

*is squeezed*
