I like Nyau. :shobon: (except when he's being a smug little poo poo when he wins at blacknyack)

Barely see him in the field anymore, though. I feel like when I first started months ago, I saw him a lot.


e. Doing the Death, Destroyer Of Worlds mission and a) gently caress super-Magatsu, b) gently caress the AIS and c) oh god I have to do this 8 more times

Some people must enjoy missions like this but god I hate the AIS controls / piloting, and this beefed up Magatsu is just not really fun to fight, at all. I'm playing it on Hard, since there's no difficulty requirement for the unit giveaway, which is making it somewhat more tolerable

I was really hoping to get to fight old Magatsu again. Space Magatsu is lame and doesn't let me double jump and smash him in the face.

Yeah honestly I don't mind the old Magatsu fight, that one was kind of fun. Space Magatsu is just hiding behind rocks plinking away at his weak points, or getting one-shot by something he's doing when I'm not paying enough attention / wrestling to make my AIS do what I want it to do.

Let me chase him on the rooftops again Sega, that was more fun than this :argh:

Yeah I could not have been happier when I finally hit 9. I mean, I am definitely a lot better with an AIS than I was before, but blah.

Had remarkably good luck getting them all to +10 too, only had problems with the last one, it kept going between 9 and 7, just did not want to hit +10 for a while.

Also I sold the diamond dust for like 3 mil lol thanks Sega

Servers are down for maintenance, so let's post fashion.



My main girl has switched over to a humanish look more in line with the Androids of the OG Phantasy Star. People seem to like it since I get Lookbook likes just walking around.



For my alt, I tried to recreate this unused bit of concept art for a PSO1 Hu/newm. Getting 3 different shoulder accessories to line up correctly was a nightmare, but I think this is about as faithful as I could get under the circumstance.

Personally I like the android-style from PS4 with the human face/head and robot body, so this looks pretty good to me.

I made my partner machine Demi, and in JP gave her the orange version of Kressida's outfit, which is about as close as I could get at the time to her cloak.

Sadly the NA version of Demi is all robot bits..I should look around and see if anything suits better.

I keep having this feeling that I want to spend money on this game, like I'm good financially right now, so maybe I'll kick a little money at PSO2. But there just really isn't anything I want to spend money on, I mean I could buy AC scratch tickets, but I'm not really that into the stuff that's available now. It's just funny to me, because I was thinking the other day how this is the best f2p game I've ever seen, in that the stuff I do spend money on - premium mostly, and a few inventory expansions - is all convenience and just makes things a little easier. Even when I want to throw money at it, I can't really think of a good reason to. :v: I guess I could buy some of those high level boosters, but ehhhhh. I play enough and on high enough difficulty that I'm getting good drops, and I am real happy with my gear as-is. I might buy some SG if I run low, but I'm at 537 now and even when I do get low because I find something I like in Fresh Finds, I usually make it back fast off the mission pass or titles.

God help me if they ever open up an AC or SG shop for a broader collection of fashion items.

Also holy poo poo Phantom is cool. Just slidin' all over the place lasering things to death with my satellites. Can't wait to try a UQ with this, I've just been grinding Tokyo gold keys.

Pretty much the only things worth buying at all are inventory expansions, character storage expansions, mag claim tickets and maybe a scratch if you're feeling spicy. Oh and Premium. All the other stuff in the AC store is a huge ripoff. I cannot loving believe they bothered to put Cosmo Atomizers in the global version.

Looks like Luster, level 100, and more are coming after the 2/2-2/3 maintenance. Super PSO2 day is supposed to last until 2/4 too so you can mega grind Luster if you want.

And yeah, Phantom is a lot of fun.

Material storage is worth spending money on because it frees up HUNDREDS if inventory slots.

Also you get a button to autodump everything in the material category and the ability to draw stuff out automatically for crafting. It also can be bought with SG so you can earn it in game.

So I got Luster to 90. While I do have enough Bonus Keys to probably get it to 100 or close to it, I'm probably saving that for probably around the 22nd since I want to enjoy the class before hitting the level cap.

Anyway, Luster is good and powerful like every other Scion Class. Good thing I got like three Gunblades from the collecion files though I probably should've bought the Element Changes before Luster was released because I'm certain the price for them has increased.

Well, I beat PSO2. Episode 6 spoilers.

To whoever said that episode 4 was just the start of hyping up the PC, you weren't kidding. Vessel of the Universe ended up being a whole lot more literal than I expected.

I liked the ending a lot but I've beaten every story mission so of course I was going to like it. Gimme all the anime cheese. The credits and the credits song certainly made me feel too. A fitting conclusion.

I've been slow to do the story, so I just finished Episode 2 and I was not expecting it to be so. . . long. So many cutscenes with the weakest padding inbetween; like they decided to dump all the story resolutions into this one massive event. And having to do the whole thing in one shot if you wanted to get an S-rank is :rolleyes:.

Please tell me the other episodes don't end on this kind of marathon.

The climax of Episode 2 is easily the longest quest in the game. There are a few more long quests, but none of them come to EP2's level

I ended up with a set of Ceres knuckles, Union soaring blades and a Union rifle with Exceed Energy and EX Alles Soul, a Ceres assault rifle, and a Lepshtain katana also with Exceed Energy. Not too shabby.
