About to start on Ephenia thank you for the guide

Bernie and his weapon are colour coordinated.

I doubt Sega would do it but NGS could be saved but it require a fairly big update on the NGS side and some minimal effort on the PSO2 side. Simply NGS needs an expansion pack to drum up interest and provide enough content at once so that people don't burn through the games new content in a week which is what happens now with the drip feed system they have now. I think the new style of quests that play more like raids (Leciel, Nameless City) are a step in the right direction and they need more of that. Additionally they need systems that give longer term goals that will frankly require grinding (think Zig from the base game). An expansion style drop would also allow for a wider variety of content that's needed like more enemy variety, photon arts, classes etc. I would also recommend a system that encourages relevelling or alts like a prestige system. Making an expansion would take time, luckily they have an entirely second game attached to NGS that they could leverage to buy them time, PSO2. In fairness they almost certainly can't put too much resources in PSO2 anymore so I would recommend simply rerunning all the old events in the game and either keeping them on a scheduled rotation or just make them random. Include everything, rerun the old mission passes, the old seasonal events (like the one with the PSU characters), rerun the old ac/sg scratches, sell all the old packs (sonic collabration, ragol memories for example). They're running the game may as well make money from it, and I doubt simply running their already existing events would be difficult. They could do some simple things to buy time as well such as increasing level cap and maybe adding a harder difficulty and maybe adding systems that encourage relevelling or alts. As a final note on the PSO2 side, they could consider a progression server where they effectively relaunch the game, this would require a new server which they could either open ship 5 or merge 3/4. Both an NGS expansion and rebirth of PSO2 would be pretty marketable. However their current strategy clearly isn't working because rather than let PSO2 run a healthy course while they worked on NGS they jumped the gun way too early. Now they can't keep up and the game is losing players. This is what I would do though, revitalize PSO2 whatever way I can while I develop an "NGS: Blue Burst".

So what are the best section ids on these servers for rangers? I mean regarding to late game? picking up the game after 15 years since last played on GC :p . Will be playing casually 1 character at most. Or are trades easy to make?

That weapon skin is sick how did you get it?

Unrelated to the focus of this video, I was thinking it’d be helpful to upload video guides of the Episode 2 bosses (and perhaps the episode 4 one). There’s nothing available on the wiki, and some of the guides on PSO World aren’t the best written, in tandem with a lack of visuals. I feel like there’s still plenty of people who haven’t fledged out their playtime of Episode 2 (like me) and it could prove to be vastly useful.

Just coming back to the game after a decent break having to re learn the mechanics is a pain this was so helpful 🧡 did you have a guide on the different items like cubes or the new disks or they are new to me at least.

I would like this game to bring in OLD stuff from the original games PSO and psu. Weapons. Costumes. Stages. Bosses. Enemies. Music. ENBRACE the history. Add episode 3 as an extra download. The full card game. Give quests like the old games. With a story narrative. I know you can’t just make the ruins in the middle of aelio, but why not make some missions where you teleport into the ruins or mines or whatever and do a mission then teleport out. The open word ain’t it. PSO never been an open world game. Always based off missions.

never knew about the mags -- opens up a lot of ideas !

I do like this opinion piece type video. Different than your normal stuff :)

Some segments of audio have been muted on this VOD due to a copyright claim on the track "IDOLA The strange fruits", which plays in the final boss map. I have disputed the claim but it was rejected and I can't appeal further without risking a copyright strike. Sorry for the muted sections (there are two segments, both around the 2 hour mark and lasting for 2-3 minutes each). I want these VODs to be fun for you guys, but I'm not willing to get a copyright strike on the channel either

I missed the dialog that newman and CASTS were Dfactor infused in some way, makes sense I guess considering how proficient Dark Falz is at infecting machinery as well as lifeforms

hmm... so then Leo, WORKS, and their failed Mother Project are related to what happens with Mother back on Coral huh? definitely a good idea to stop them from trying again...

Thanks again for these videos, I never got around to beating Ep 1 on Game Cube as a kid. Watching your series has been great to get closure on this series! One of these days I'll have to download BB

Hi! :)

I deeply appreciate these videos. This game came out in the middle of a horribly turbulent time in my life. So, getting in touch with the narrative has been awesome. Thanks dude :)

i think its both.. i think they're ignoring both new players and old players bc it only ever seems like there's the same 1200 ppl across aelio 1/kvaris 1 so yeah there's only the diehards left and the occasional newb running around looking confused atl in my experience anyway, i spend a lot of time idling in towns and i see the same names every day

Just finished making a chao mag while I was afk at work. Word of advice, dont do it. It was a pain in the butt having to juggle feed it to get the exact stats you need to get it to 36/36/36/36. Bless the guy that wrote the guide on PSO world a decade a go. 😅

My favourite areas in the game! Really enjoying this series!

shotgun cs2 go BRRRRRR. also i got stuck in the same way with the switch puzzle lol

I think I watch these videos at least once a month! Really well executed mate!

As a returning player from launch, I feel like I didn't give the game the chance is deserved and kept comparing it to base PSO2. rn I'm having a blast with what I feel is the lovechild between Xenoblade Chronicles X and Sekiro

Hey Sky! I recently got a huge kick for psu since getting a steam deck. Have you heard of anyone having any luck getting clementine running well on the deck rather than full pc?

Love being part of this lore ship! From a lore perspective, the Temple and Spaceship aren't super interesting, and its continuation is being held back by being too cautious. (Although it might have been perceived differently back in the day--I mean I would enjoy it back in the day as a kid) But you can't disagree that they're great areas accompanied by a banger soundtrack. Btw the time trials, especially this one can be challenging as a lower level player with bad/subpar gear. Although I could get through the Temple in one go, this one made me grind and find some better gear before passing it.

I really like the indirect storytelling of PSO and although I managed to figure out the essentials, it's nice to finally explicitly get answers after all these years 😄 Really enjoyed your lore explanation so far! Btw at 22:03, you can also hear the dark undertone (string section) in the supposed "peaceful piano" piece. Such a simple thing, but I love it.

they need to add more class expression and complexity there need to be something to sink hours into understanding even for vets. Also enough with the gradually increases square icons for armors, I killed x boss let the drop reflect that. A community board in game already for better organizing group activities.

Hi Utuber just finished the PSO Ep1&Ep2 Xbox version (offline) solo player up to very hard injoyed your video's of PSO BB O PS i don't have Ep4 I'm injoying my play through the game

Interesting that WORK elite members were on pioneer 1. Maybe Leo corrupted nature could be a homage of pioneer 1 down fall

Hell yea this is my favorite series!

This is an mmo of my childhood which id like to relive... how can i play online again? Im a scrub when it comes to private servers

Emilia freaking out like she did actually makes sense when you consider both her past and, well... the way Kraz treated her up to now..

Oh, good. It's the PSP2i version of the game!

The player retention is ok, they still keep the same 100 players afk in the lobby since day 1 :)

Which ID do you suggest?

Regarding the story objective at the start, that may or may not be a mistranslation from the original english localization of Phantasy Star Portable 2 that the PSP2i fan translation patch is using as a basis.

Just finally catching up to this! Loving it!

I had no idea about that room behind those rocks in the jungle! WHOA!!!! 😮

To this day, episode 2 is beautiful.

LOVE these videos.

9:08 It's not a delay its just that the death animation for certain monsters are very long e. g. things like monests take over 12 seconds(380 frames) to trigger doors

A guide for psu brings me great joy

Yes! This is all brand new PSO story for me. I'm very interested in seeing what happens from here on out.

This videos never cease to amaze me mate. Love the depth you go into! Great work!

I remember the X-Box version had some downloadable story missions which were about some Hunters contest to get through the Central Dome that involved Ellie and Cal taking on a humanoid avatar. As I remember the ending was bittersweet but perhaps there were multiple I was just too low-level to beat in time. I never got around to Blue Burst but wonder if they got adapted.

Hello

June was effective at bringing players back into the game, as it can be seen in the peak of the month. Players usually come back during regional patch cycles, and they will come back in october even if it's just rescaled stia with gear upgrades and no story. The problem is not bringing players back into the game, but rather building up momentum with a meaningful loop to keep those players around. June in particular was an example of players coming back, playing for 1 week, get their ex augments and quitting the week after. This happened in ver2 when lc and solus dropped back in august 2023, which was followed with one of the biggest drops in the playerbase right after in september. The only reasonable conclusion is that players give the game a chance on those updates, realized it's more of the same and quit.

Where’s the next episode brother. You know we love these vids!!! We all know episode 4 is a bit of a stinker, lore wise, but still love to hear you talk the story. Even if episode 4 just ends up as one episode.

Bring back dungeons, Bring back collab based missions, give enemies creative spaces drops, stop blacking out bosses and give them color so they can pop and stand out more and stop with the lack luster rewards on the endgame content
