Tailzo Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 ..Yes, sadly. Anyway. I wonder when we'll hear the exact monthly fee for this game? Does anyone know what the additional fee for FFXI is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 The guy sounds like he didnt like PSO. If he tried to stop me from buying this game he did a pretty poor job of it. I love PSO and even if the graphics havent improved ( which they have ) and the gameplay style is the same then its still a must buy for me. I apologize for his writing, I know its not the best preview in the world, but we are sorry. We'll have a better suited person for the review of the game.

Tailzo Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 ^ Well, no harm done, just be sure to get an unbiased person for the review. I like to see as many reviews as possible for a game, but in this case I'm quite sure I'll buy it. It'll have to have serious problems for me to avoid it.

Sanchez Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 oh god, no offline multiplayer? I just got very sad. What about 2 players online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I don't think that’s in either but judging by PSO, they'll probably have a version 2 or something somewhere down the line probably with added multiplayer and challenge mode (I hope). I kind of suprised they didnt put multiplayer mode in the game. At the very least they could of allowed a second player to control a character in the offline story mode.

Guest Stefkov Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I read through the article of PSO in my X360 mag, and it sounds good, but i have a question, whats the fighting style like? is it urn based, or can you all go at it like in say guild wars. I liked the part about your own lobby, decoratingit with shiny things so that you attract noobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fighting style is real time in PSU, here's a couple of video's that should give you an idea of what its like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiiLK12GauE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGs36UxuiYw You might notice in that second video that you can duel weild weapons since the character is holding two different types (sword and gun).

Tailzo Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Known facts about Phantasy Star Universe - About the team behind the game: Takao Miyoshi is the producer Phantasy Star Universe. Sonic Team seems to be the developers, and sega is the publisher. It should be noted that IGN, has Sonic Team and Total Entertainment Software [With Yuji Naka as listed as the developers. - Different versions of the game: There will be a PS2 version, a PC version, and a Xbox360 version. The PS2 and PC users will be able to play togheter, but it seems that xbox360 will only be able to play online among themselves. - Release dates: It seems to PS2 and PC versions will be released slightly before the 360 versions. I've found different release dates at gamespot VS AMN for example, so I cannot be sure. Most sites seems to point to that this game will be released within 2006 for all 3 versions, in Japan, US and Europe. - How much will it cost to play online? That has not yet been decided, according to the latest information I could find. - The game will both have offline 1 player, and online multiplayer. So far, it seems that it will not have offline multiplayer, in any of the versions. Offline, will have a story this time. At the first trailer of PSU, they hinted at the 1 player mode of PSU being "Phantasy Star 5". This means that you cannot level up your character offline, and then later take the same character online. The 1 offline mode is said to be a 40 hours long, story driven RPG. - How about the different classes? The game will have humans, CAST, the Newmans, and the Beasts. - Character customisation for the online mode includes: "This complete customization of your character includes changing facial features such as eye color, eye shape, eyebrows, etc. and altering the height and weight of the physique with the morphing function. You can also change clothing, glasses, caps, and even give your character tattoos depending on your character’s race." [directly copy and pasted from a AMN PSU interview.] - Will there be voice chat in the game? In a AMN PSU interview, the answer is simply that the 360 version will have voice chat. No word on the pc version (or ps2 version.). Sources: Advancedmn.com PSU interview, IGN and Gamespot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 If the Pc and Ps2 version are the same then i doubt it will have offline multi player. I know it is possible to have multi player on a PC while offline but i cant really see sega going through all the trouble to make that work.

James Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have a deck of PSO playing cards, how jealous are all of you!!! That aside I like the fact they kept it to 4 players per a game(I think), keeps it nice and intimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man I got those too, I won mine on the PSO account site, also, the ammount of people in a game is 6 but I'm pretty sure someone said you can set that to whatever you want on pso-world (I might be wrong though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Heh heh I think nearly everyone won a deck of cards. 6 isn't bad but I hope doesn't go into WoW proportions in the size of players available to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside I like the fact they kept it to 4 players per a game(I think), keeps it nice and intimate. I was sent a pack for complaining about the Frozen Screen of Death. It wiped my memory card if I remember correctly, and I filled in a email survey and a few weeks later they came in the post. I'm tempted by this game, I might get the pc version (spec depending), though the fee will have to suitable especially if I'm playing WoW at the same time.

ShadowV7 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't think I have some of the requirements needed for the PC version,looks like offline PS2 version is my only option unless they do bring it out for Wii... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 They Just release the PSU "Premiere disc" which is basically a demo of the game with a bit of offline and online mode on it (Sorry Japan only). Someone's been kind enough to record himself playing and put the video up at youtube: Hey Shadow, hope you don't mind me asking, how come you can get the Wii online but not your PS2? Edit- some stuff from pso-world: ( not new info but just incase its new to some of you) PC and Playstation 2 owners will play on the same servers and online accounts will be interchangable. There is no offline-multiplayer mode. Given the strain that Phantasy Star Universe puts on the Playstation 2, it was simply impossible to incorporate a split-screen mode. The online game flow will work like this: city-> mission -> resupply area -> mission -> goal lobby. Missions are expected to take between 15 minutes and 1 to complete. Goal lobbies will contain relaxing settings such as hot springs. For online play, the servers will handle most of the data processing. If any glitches are discovered, it will be easier to issue patches. If a client patch is needed for the Playstation 2, the patch will be downloaded to a memory card. The HDD is not supported. Online cheating will simply be impossible according to the developer. Online character names will not be unique. The Playstation 2 version will not have a screenshot function due to its memory limitations and lack of an Internet browser. Sonic Team is hoping to release a fan site kit that will contain things such as banners and fonts. Even when you are not online, time will continue to pass in the online world. For example, people will be able to visit your room and buy items from your Player Shop - if it has been setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
