Another fun example of symbolism in character names: Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter! "Albus" is another word for white (to represent he was a "good" wizard). "Dumbledore" is an old English word for "bumblebee", since he liked to hum a lot.
Yes that's true but I left that bit out on purpose given where global was with content. These earlier ones were made to drum up interest in the story and the world without spoiling too much.
Man Matoi... never thought much about her until i played episode 1-3 and she honestly one of the sweetest characters ever. Love that girl to death. Another character that i actually came to love was Klariskrays! Well the current one, she become very endearing and now i find whenever she calls me bonehead to be the sweetest thing ever lol
If you're into that sort of thing, you should go check out PrinceBrightStar's channel! Real knowledgeable guy and long time fan of the franchise. Glad you've been enjoying this! Pretty fun making these things albeit labor intensive. Hope you have an awesome week!
Matoi is easily one of my favorite characters in PSO2, and I’m not saying that because she is a waifu. I really hope she returns in New Genesis considering how important she is. Also you’re a brave man for going through some of those story scenes again; I would not be able to watch Matoi getting stabbed or killed again.
Personally I feel Matoi’s chances of returning are high. She is essentially a second protagonist given her importance to the story and her importance to the main protagonist.
Probably. Episode 4 pretty much confirmed that cryosleep is a thing, and it looked like there were a decent amount of those cryosleep pods when we see the main character wake up.
From my over 10 years of playing RPG and MMORPG game Matoi is clearly among the very best Heroine out there It true that, her "Normal Girl" persona made her become more mild toward everyone compare to her badass past self but the moment we realize why she want to have her current personality combined with how EP2 end justify her place as one of the very solid character out there.
@@Zeomantic She has very little presense in EP1 so most people sleep on her. EP2 change everything and SEGA did a great job with all those emotional scene her Voice actor ( not sure about NA but her JA voice sound like she is broken full of regret and about to cry for real )
I thought it was kinda funny that as the story went on (Ep 1-3) Matoi's outfits progressively became more... "Revealing" until EP 4 when they dialed it back a bit.
There's a lot more to her story but I can imagine it would take forever to explain it all. With that said I think the story is worth doing or at least watching the anime.
I remember going back and forth with players of Phantasy Star online 2 about wether or not the anime had any unique story beats outside of the games. I was just clingy in defending the anime and they were calling it pointless if you've already played the game. Maybe it is just the presentation, humor and fan service.
Honestly I've always wondered of what the official name for the Dark creatures in the Ruins and Seabed were in PSO Ep. 1 and 2 and thanks to another lore guru like yourself, now I know what to call them when I do a run slaying out in the Ruins as some point for nostalgia.
I LOVE Matoi! I dunno, soft spoken, white haired cuties are just...my kinda girl. Plus, her anime voice actress in Episode Orcale just, really sold her for me. Also, I LOVE how you included the color psychology and etymological roots of her name!!!!!
Global was only about mid-way through episode 4, plus the Steam version had only been out for a few weeks at the time I made this. I didn't want to give away too much, especially things in the latter episodes, out of respect for the folks who were just coming into the game at the time. The earlier videos from August to around November of 2020 were made to tell people about some things in the Oracle universe and encourage them to learn more on their own.
the last one you mean "PSO2 the Animation" ??? that one is just a side story exist between EP3 and EP4 while the recent anime "Episode Oracle" is EP1-3 minus Amduscia and Harukotan probably due to how they try to cram EP1-3 inside 24 episode รt clearly better if you understand PSO2 plot to certain degree what they lack is action scene which is somehow disappointing low...
Wait Xanthe Huynh that means matoi Is voiced by one of my favorite trails Girls Also how do you have what looks like new genesis Footage cause its certainly better Than what the game currently runs
@@Zeomantic ok, it understandable, i loved matoi as my little sister, enjoy both her kindness and she ready to call out on people if they did something wrong. My favorite moment probably her meting with Hitsugi

Finally a lore hound for PSO2. I hope you go far with your endeavours friend.

Yeah I'll be interested to see if her or any of the other characters make a return in NGS.
Personally I feel Matoi’s chances of returning are high. She is essentially a second protagonist given her importance to the story and her importance to the main protagonist.
@@zackmarsh4912 NGS is 1000 yrs in the future, if Matoi is there won’t your character and everyone is there?
Probably. Episode 4 pretty much confirmed that cryosleep is a thing, and it looked like there were a decent amount of those cryosleep pods when we see the main character wake up.
@@zackmarsh4912 yea but it looks like it’s mainly to purge the f factors and that takes like 4 years tops. I dunno I guess we’ll see
From my over 10 years of playing RPG and MMORPG game
Matoi is clearly among the very best Heroine out there
It true that, her "Normal Girl" persona made her become more mild toward everyone compare to her badass past self
but the moment we realize why she want to have her current personality combined with how EP2 end
justify her place as one of the very solid character out there.
I didn't really come to appreciate her as a character until I started researching for this thing.
@@Zeomantic She has very little presense in EP1 so most people sleep on her.
EP2 change everything and SEGA did a great job with all those emotional scene her Voice actor ( not sure about NA but her JA voice sound like she is broken full of regret and about to cry for real )
@@mickbotcast Yeah they really did. I'm glad Episode Oracle gave her a more prominent role early on.
@@Zeomantic my thought exactly, more Matoi scene time in EP1 part is really great... ( or else people will believe Quna is the main heroine )
I thought it was kinda funny that as the story went on (Ep 1-3) Matoi's outfits progressively became more... "Revealing" until EP 4 when they dialed it back a bit.
Gotta channel them photons better! LMAO
It even funnier when she got point out by Klariskrays 3 lmao
@@mickbotcast I like how the game pokes fun at itself.
@@Gat720Dua especially EP5 desert part lmao
Aika revealed how Matoi keep speaking about our skill to her for over 100 times.
There's a lot more to her story but I can imagine it would take forever to explain it all. With that said I think the story is worth doing or at least watching the anime.
Indeed there is.
Matois childhood was never explained but we got to see a glimpse of Ash's childhood in the anime.
We only know a little bit of past Matoi in episode 2, we get more information in manga Episode 0
I remember going back and forth with players of Phantasy Star online 2 about wether or not the anime had any unique story beats outside of the games. I was just clingy in defending the anime and they were calling it pointless if you've already played the game. Maybe it is just the presentation, humor and fan service.
We needed a lore, now we have someone (which is you). To speak this lore thank you
You're welcome! :)

That's Matoi Definitely Throughout The Heart Breaker
I was wondering who mother was whom my char looks like thanks to her gear I obtained. Thanks to this series I found her history and story.
Imagine if Matoi was in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. What would her moveset be? What would her final smash be?
I imagine it would just be ranged spells. I imagine she would have a thing where she turns into PD.
I wished it was a bit longer personally but still God video

I get it though still would be nice as you forget stuff or skip the cutscenes and want to learn more but don't have time
Are you going to do lore on The Protagonist/you-know-who at some point?
At some point but it's going to be heavily slanted towards head canon for my main character, Zeota.
our ingame WIFE
I can't wait to actually watch the anime. I hope it's better than the last one...
the last one you mean "PSO2 the Animation" ???
that one is just a side story exist between EP3 and EP4
while the recent anime "Episode Oracle" is EP1-3 minus Amduscia and Harukotan
probably due to how they try to cram EP1-3 inside 24 episode

Wait Xanthe Huynh that means matoi

Also how do you have what looks like new genesis Footage cause its certainly better
Than what the game currently runs
A few parts are movie cutscenes not using the actual game engine.
@@Zeomantic oh I see well still looking forward to it the New graphics it'll look awesome also Matoi is just the best
4:26 wdym by guardians? Only thing thought of when I heard that was Destiny lmao
It's what we're called after the events of Episode 3.
are you planning to update about Matoi any time soon?
I'll get to it at some point, but other things take priority right now.
@@Zeomantic ok, it understandable, i loved matoi as my little sister, enjoy both her kindness and she ready to call out on people if they did something wrong.
My favorite moment probably her meting with Hitsugi
"Purity..." heh heh...
Matoi: *shows up*
Apprentice: *PTSD intensifies*
PD: you're Hired!
Double: Boss!
Anime Apprentice: OMG NO!!! GO AWAY!!! GO AWAY!!!
Pretty much! Of course there's also the mango where she rips apprentice's arm off and starts beating her with it! Good tmes!
@@Zeomantic I didn't know Matoi was a Descendant of Doomguy
This is make me tickle if she confess my main character Serena like Yuri moments. XD
Fuck I love these vids
Dawg wtf?!
No way I’m rewatching this shit man 🤦🏾
IVE ALREADY SEEN THIS!?!
RUclips algorithm being goofy I guess
