But then I remembered that I actually know a few people personally who might be interested who didnt burn themselves out on the japanese version ages ago. So I guess maybe I'll try the US version? Maybe?  Edit: also switch version or fuggoff

Yeah, I meant after all this time. The prior thread was enititled 'the fantasy of a western release', and its the one I clicked through on my UP to get here so I can register my astonishment that it actually is happening, and that I'm not stroking out. I was 100% it would never happen, but here we are

I'm probably gonna give it another go. I had a lot of fun with PSO2 off and on for a few years, but I'll probably start over again on the US servers. I hope the open beta includes the PC as well as the Xbox. It's kind of like anime diablo and I'm way into that compared to an actual mmo.

Hyper Inferno posted:If the closed beta only lasts for like a day and progress is carrying over, then does that mean the actual release won't be too far off? That's my read. I'd imagine they'll move on to an open beta (with PC crossplay?) not too much later. I wonder how much freedom they have to make changes based on feedback? I guess a lot of the cross-promotion stuff from the japanese version is toast but if they're supporting it enough to give it full english VA than maybe they can do other stuff while the hoods up. I'd like to see the quest/client order system streamlined. I'm sure loads has changed in progression since the last time I played around the time Episode 5 came out, so that might be an outdated complaint.

I dunno if it's been mentioned yet and I don't have a link on hand, but aparently its confirmed that the PC version is going to be distributed on Steam. Great news, probably means a better player base in addition to just being able to use the Steam friendlist. edit: https://www.mmorpg.com/phantasy-star-online-2/news/phantasy-star-online-2-heading-to-steam-according-to-online-manual-1000055259 It came from an online manual that can't be accessed anymore: https://dev.pso2.com/manual/game Long story short is that it confirmed that the PC version is gonna be on Steam- which I'm pretty sure wasn't actually announced yet.

A Halo colab would be pretty cool. They could do spartan armor, assault rifle/plasma rifle skins, and a cortana costume that's always a bazillion meseta in the player shops. Assuming they do anything unique at all, of course.

It wouldn't be too hard to remake my jp character since cast parts are pretty much all gonna make the transition. The hair's from some anime I've never seen so I don't know about that, but I'm sure I won't have any trouble finding something that makes the most of the silly hair physics.  Still gonna roll a cast again at any rate.Is the phantom successor class any good? I always liked how Katana Braver and forces played so that weapon spread looks like it's right up my alley.

Blorknorg posted:I enjoyed the Japanese version but I ended up just missing the designated SA server and sort of felt like an intruder so I stopped. Probably the hardest barrier to entry is being able to read and enter Japanese text into a captcha for your account creation. I'm really hoping the open PC beta is soon, I will absolutely pay for poo poo in the game as long as it's a decent value. I actually paid for stuff a couple times in the Japanese version.  There's a phone app for the Japanese version that you can link to your main account, and from that you can buy the premium currency without having to use a japanese credit card. You even get favorable conversion rates if the dollar (or whatever) is strong against the yen.edit: also yeah same.

NextTime000 posted:the FAQ on the NA website says we should have 3 free character slots; which is the same as the JP server. You typically do want to have all three character slots in use because whenever there's an update that adjusts Photon Arts or Class Skills, they always issue out a free all-tree reset passes for each of your characters, no matter what level they are. Thank you for typing this out, I haven't really played since right around the time they added Hero and I wasn't sure about how the stats worked on them. If I'm reading this right phantom would be the way to go if you wanted to use techs as a cast, right?

NextTime000 posted:you could use force, phantom, or even techter as you main class to deal primarily technique damage; being a cast has very little to do with it, they might have slightly less base t-atk/tec, but it's practically unnoticeable at this point Cool, it's good to know it doesn't matter too much. I like casts and I like forces, but it would bug me if it tanked my damage too hard. I'm going to have to max out a couple base classes for when the advance classes come out anyway so I guess I might as well.

Annath posted:It's supposed to be seamless between Xbox and PC right? Same account, same characters? Yeah, supposedly on the PC version you'll log in with the same XBOX/Microsoft ID. I hope PC version drops with the full release, but it seems a bit weird to me that they'd go hot without testing crossplay (like with a beta, say), even if the PC version is a decade old and stable as gently caress.

katkillad2 posted:The OP says you can focus on a single weapon as Braver. I always like playing ranged classes, is there any reason to pick one over the other between Braver using bows vs a Ranger? Most bows are gonna have a dex requirement, and braver has a skill that converts dex on a mag into both s-atk and r-atk damage types It's been a long time since I've played on JP but I'm pretty sure my mag was an even split between dex/s-atk (mel-atk now?) for my katana braver. I'm probably just gonna go pure dex this time with an eye toward phantom down the road.

Even at 30 it spends time loading them and you're gonna be looking at a lot of 'loading...' gray characters. Might as well just give up and scale it back. Just a reminder- those equippable units that function as armor can be set to stealth mode if all the weird floating techno baubles are messing up your sense of style. Some of them can look okay, but ya know

I think the PD shop is on the second floor of the shopping area, along with a bunch of other specialty stuff. Btw, gamepass ultimate is having a special for a dollar for the first month right now. If you sign up and download the win 10 gamepass app you can claim the pso2 rewards and cancel gamepass if you don't want it before the next billing period. The PSO2 perks include some xbox related cosmetics and a bunch of premium stuff, including a bunch of scratchers which will if nothing else will probably give you a bunch of stuff that you can sell for a lot on the player shops.

Bardeh posted:I'm trying my best to like this game, but it's SO loving confusing. The menus are terrible, I can't tell how the gently caress skills work, how I equip new poo poo, how I can see what to equip. If you're talking about learning skills, you do that at the class counter in the lobby. If you mean equipping them, some of them are passives, others are active and you have to manually assign them to your toolbar. For example, on braver the dex up skill is a passive, katana combat is is triggered and finished by whatever button you assign it to. You can equip skills/pas under the same set of menus that you use for equipping weapons/armor units. The UI is christawful, yeah. Can't do anything without navigating at least 2 menus. edit: Try doing an expedition quest at the counter, then navigate over to the globe icon on your menu and go down to client orders. After starting a quest at the counter, there should be an option there to accept all relevant client orders associated with that quest. You still have to run around to all the clients to turn them in afterward (they'll have an unmissable green icon over their head) but it at least streamlines the process of getting them in the first place.

Saagonsa posted:They're different games with extremely different combat pacing and focuses On paper, monster hunter seems like it would be right up my alley. In practice, I don't like that the game is focused entirely around boss fights that you need to do over and over to advance, and need to always have company to make any headway. I mean you still have to grind poo poo out in PSO2, but It just feels unabashedly 'gamey' to me in a way thats hard to pin down and that I like a lot. Edit: everything is so deliberate in monster hunter, sometimes I just want to drop in and gently caress up some trash mobs without needing to coordinate anything.

Imagined posted:Awesome, you guys keep rebutting the "this game is like monster hunter" argument I wasn't making, but rather was anticipating someone else making because a) I referred to it as an MMO and b) I saw this game's fans compare it to Monster Hunter (as opposed to an MMO) earlier in the thread. I think you're reading too much into it, nobody is salty. Theres comparisons to make to Diablo etc too, but PSO2 only shares things in common with these games. I wouldnt call it an mh like or a Diablo like.

There's a lot of poo poo to remember, but aside from your mag you can't really mess up too bad aside from assigning skills, but skill tree cards will pop up from time to time so whatever. Definitely ID stuff and either feed it to your mag (if it gives you the right stats) or sell it. If you pick up a shop pass (you'll get them from fun scratchers from time to time) you can throw any you have saved up on there and people will buy them for mag food

It really is surprising that they put as much work into the va as they did. It's pretty good as far as that goes, but its still confusing and tucked out of the way besides. I can confirm that the anime is probably your best bet for getting a grip on the story. I've see like half of it, and now I actually have a decent idea of whats going on in e1. It's also on Hulu, for the record Edit: the other PSO2 anime though, oh man. Literally just a long-form ad for the game, its cute how trashy it is THE FUCKING MOON fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 7, 2020 |

You're gonna need to get two classes up to max level to use the successor classes too, you won't be able to just drop in on e5 and play hero first thing. I'm really looking forward to e5, It's basically all new to me, and I'm still spotty on some e4 stuff as well. It's convenient that they're starting the content drip more or less around the same time I checked out on JP
