I wish they'd bring back PSP1&2's racial super moves. It was hella neat how Humans and Newmans got summon beasts like normal, but Duman's got to TURN INTO giant monsters, and CASTs got summonable mega weaponry. As much as laser unicorn and fortress jellyfish are cool, being able to summon GIANT MECH FISTS was cooler.

Beasts were the ones that transformed (called Nanoblast). Dumans, introduced in PSPo2I, had super attacks that changed based on job and level.

CASTs had a ton of different SUV Weapons, but in practice only a few of them were very useful. Still, it's one more way to differentiate yourself from the crowd!

Prophets of Motav was an item in the original PSO as well, though I don't remember its effects.

In PSO it was a wand that cast lovely low-level Jellen/Zalure. It appeared in PSZero as Sarisa's signature weapon once you maxed your level. In PSPo2Infinity it's a wand with Ice boost by default. It's a book with the Seal of Algol on it, the one that sealed The Profound Darkness. The seal appears a lot in PSO, from the logo, when you summon Photon Blasts, and also what you fight Dark Falz on in the air. The three outer circles represent the three planets of Algol: Motavia, Dezolis, and Palma (Mota Dezo Parm, Muut Ditts Poumn). Palma was destroyed in PS2, leading to the weakening of the seal and the eventual release of the Darkness in PS4.

But I'm pretty sure it's just a wand now.

Speaking of, for all the times Dark Force has been brought back, would it kill them to show us a little Profound Darkness?

Once every handful of games or so should be plenty. PS1,PSGaiden,2,3,4. PSO,PSU,PSZ,PSPo2,PSO2. You don't want to dilute the impact by having her show up every other game.

While we're on the subject of unearthing ancient plot devices, how about we retread some goddamn mechanics? Bring back team combination attacks! Certain Photon Arts and or Techs chain together to create area-of-effect offense.

I hope they announce the release of the PSO2 OST soon so we can hear all of those tracks we forget as soon as they stop playing. Because they're bad. Unless some of the new areas introduced in the last year somehow have music as good as the previous Phantasy Star soundtracks (besides PSU).

I'd put Falz Hunar above some of the original PSO's music.

Kink in the Wind was the weak point of the PSO OST, maybe, but I haven't heard a single thing from PSO2 that comes close to Empty Space Out of Control, Revolution to the Origin, Abysmal Ball, or Underworld Chaos. I'm leaving Tricktrack out because it's actually from Phantasy Star 2, and because it's not fair to compare anything to it.

Br/Va became one of the four main classes (alongside Hu/Ra/Fo) in PSP2/I. It would absolutely be a step in the right direction is Sega made it available straight out the door. The only thing better would be if this version of Braver could use Techs, too. And traps. Where are the traps, Sonic Team? :mad:

U NO WUT IM SAIYAN
Jan 26, 2003

by angerbeet
Traps, specifically the two EX Traps, were hilariously overpowered in PSP2. There was a skill called Burst Bomber that increased trap damage, and the EX Traps which dealt area damage over time also contributed to the combo count. You could kill some bosses in seconds with traps alone. This, combined with the unholy Evasion modifier that Vanguards enjoyed, made them hands-down the best class.

Trap damage got fixed in PSP2Infinity, and all classes got some fixes to make them all better. Evasion was lowered a bit too, so Vanguards could actually take damage sometimes instead of just ignoring everything from the front.

I play on ship 1, where like 99% of players speak Japanese, and you get a bunch of extremely creepy, irritating, or obnoxious autowords. The worst by far are the ones who do cut-ins for literally everything, so they're spamming you with the image window right in the middle of your field of view. There are also a lot of people with autowords in English that are either totally incomprehensible, or full of hilarious mispellings and mangled grammar. There are also plenty of totally cool people who will hang around after you finish a run to just bullshit about stuff, of course.

In PSP2 you could only set one autoword per instance, and the phrases people put for when they used Photon Arts.... that, and 80% of the rooms up were people looking for girlfriends/boyfriends.

It's an arcade mech shooter with controls like an FPS (movement stick on the left, mouse on the right). Border Break was fun enough for me to waste $20 of yen on, but the chances of the game making its way out of Japan are slim :smith:

I agree with the want for Virtual-on collaborations. Let me dress up my character like Fei-yen.

Found the keys to my old account (Lv11 Hunter from over a year ago) and logged in, turned braver and did some client order that sent me from Lv2 to Lv9. Now to find some weapons I can use and remember how to play the game.

If you're still using your character from Ship 9, none of the SA players are there anymore, barring myself. Everyone's moved to Ship 2 instead.

Braver seems pretty fun so far. Katana Gear is pretty great and will definitely be helpful against bosses, and it's much easier to get started off now that you're not sitting around doing emergency codes for 200 exp while waiting for the next client order to unlock.

I have two accounts, so I booted up my Ship 2 character. Block 20 was full though, so I just played with pubbies.

Braver compliments every class pretty well. I finally have all classes unlocked, and it sure makes levelling up to about 10-12 go by much faster. The mag probably helps too, though.

While levelling Braver to 30 does unlock the Client Orders from Orza, Lisa, and Marlou that will, in turn, unlock the Client Orders from Coffie to unlock the Fighter, Gunner, and Techter classes, you need to have Hunter, Ranger, and Force at Lv20+ to complete those orders, since the items that drop or kills that are needed are available only in Hard mode or higher.

All of the classes are pretty fun in their own way, though! :shobon:

You can do all these COs with all-class weapons, so no, you don't need to level the base classes at all if you have access to the right equipment.

That's a good point, I didn't realize the all-class weapons were so strong and easy to find. It should be simple, in that case.
