I've been looking around for information on PSU(2) and I keep coming across this name. From what I understand, Laia is the girl in the fight on the picture fighting ethan. (check out the new PSU epansion on the home page if you haven't already.) I then searched around the Sega forums and someone mentioned that Laia hates ethan and ethan hates Laia. And that you even get to fight her in a mission. Is it only an online mission?

What is their connection?! Someone please explain.

Laia hates scoundrels and liars.

Chimeria

ARRRGGHH!!
But still...what's the storyline between them?!
Does she think that Ethan is a liar? What for? And why does Ethan dislike her? He was a pretty forgiving person on the offline story mode.

Short version: Ethan's on the LAM, supposedly for attempting to murder the president, and even though everyone else thinks that's he's still pretty much ok Laia's...hotheaded, annoying and rather stupid. Kinda like Ethan.

Play the online story missions, they explain what there is to explain.

ummm play the story >.>

Ethan attempted to kill the president.
Laia hates traitors.
Laia is also the adopted daughter of the president.
Laia was trained by Leogini.
Laia was trained with Maya like Ethan with Hyuga.
Laia is oyur official trainer.
Laia is basically a nobody storyline wise who just happens to know all of the other chars because they all had lives before hand v.v

I already traded in my copy of PSU...And to be honest, I really wouldn't want to waste money on the online part of the game because of all the negative things I've been hearing. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate PSU I just got bored with it...

But anyway, that's why I was asking because I've never been online before.

OHHHH...I understand now. I wonder why they didn't put her in the offline story. Sounds like a cool storyline.

...I got bored with the just playing the offline. I lved my character to 92 and things just got to easy. Not to mention you can only only raise your class lv. to 10. But that's a different story. I just wanted to know what was up with the chick from the expansion pack.

Quoted for truth.

Incidentally, I actually am kind of liking Laia as a person, even if she is sort of a bitch. Not every good person is nice.

Laia is just a very sexy Beastgirl. Don't read between the lines. She is hawt, and that is all that matters.

You learn early on that Laia hates rouges and scoundrels. It even says so on her partner card. She's blunt and to the point. You also learn that Ethan is wanted for an assassination sttempt on the president.

In Episode 2 Chapter 4 you learn Laia is President Dallgun's adopted daughter, who doesn't like the special attention she gets beacuse of that fact.

In Episode 2 Chapter 5 when you meet Ethan on Moatoob, she still believes he's a rouge, but Headmastar Nav orders her not to engage him in battle.

When you think of it, this would mean that Ethan is accused of trying to kill her father. I'd be pissed too if I had the accused right in front of me and I was told to let him go. I think the assassination was a hoax to cover up the reason that Ethan is still in league with the rogues after the destruction of HIVE HAL (the first HIVE), and in the second half of Episode 2 and perhaps in AOI we'll see the real reason behind him being there.

The relationship between Ethan and Laia: If Laia never listens to the truth, she will always see him as the enemy, even if Ethan doesn't mean to be.

Laia: Crazy bizzoich who steals all the credit in the online story mode. While she is one of the more useful partner NPCs she is prone to chronic deaths.

She hates liars. Has a superiority complex. And is some...Guardian celebrity or something.

For your records, here is a reenactment of the typical ending of a story mode. Played by community college actors.

Guy> Oh! Thank you Laia for saving my life!
Laia> No prob. It would have been easier if it wasn't for the fact Kenji here wouldn't stop complaining about doing a little work once in a while.
Kenji> I did ever--
Laia> >.O NO TALKING BITCH! -Smack- All you can do is stand there and nod.

Online mode makes me feel like an abused geisha. :'(

We need more topics and pics of Maya and less of Laia. Maya looks better but she's really dumb even on C rank missions. She'll be standing in front of a Kog Nodd but facing the wrong way so her back's towards the enemy and she just strafes, never attacks. Laia has that going for her, her IQ never drops that low. LOL FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTERS.

Phantasy Star Universe has too much anime bullshit in general in the storyline. Blue Burst was much better in this regard (except for the two NPCs that "rescue" Rico in Episode 4 9-5/9-7)

At least PSU has a storyline. Allow me to summarize PSO:

Episode 1: BIG ASPLOSION! RIOC'S MISSING! PLEASE FIND HER OH GOD!

Episode 2: You have just saved the planet from certain desctruction. Now we are going to test your skills for no reason whatsoever. Oh, and some old dude got infected by evilness and fused with an evil computer; please stop him, please.

Episode 3: IDK, LOL.

Episode 4: BIG METEOR! BIG ASPLOSION! EVIL MILITARY DUDE! RUPIKA! KIREEK! SUE! MONTAGUE! GIANT SNAKE!

Laia Martinez is dis sexii latina who gets all up in your face cause she don't answer to nobody *snaps* So you best not be frontin with her or else. Laia is also a Mary Sue from some writer at Sonic Team who didn't like the way Ethan was looking at Karen, so she inserted her self into the story to cause drama. You can tell she's a Mary Sue because low and behold somehow she ended up being the President's adopted daughter?? But everytime she's about to lay down the smack somebody gets in her way (ie. Leo, Lucaim Nav) and tells her to stand down. Then she and Ethan keeps fighting each other but later on they will fall in love to reveal her true purpose of Mary Suedom was actually to get Karen out of the picture. And they will live happily ever after Amen until its revealed Leo's son? has a crush on Laia and teh drama ensues..

Ya I think we should do a topic like this for each character. Maya especially.

You know, it actully kind of seems like Ethan is going Evil.

First, we see him in his gay ass lame green suit and a saber and a gun in his hand...

Now, we're seeing him in his Pimp ass black, long, supercool coat and a huge badass sword in his hand.



And he stands behind fire like Sephiroth.



If ethan goes Evil, ill personally go up to sonic team and pay them $120 for being awesome.

I doubt it. I could see them making him a sort of antihero or renegade hero, he's bullheaded enough--but from what I saw in him in his story mode, "Evil" with a capital E is just not Ethan, especially not this quickly.

And she secretly loves Ethan. She's just too stubborn to admit it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

She's also a waste of a perfectly good slot on the partner card list.

Do you hate Laia?

Fuck yes
With a firey passion

Double S says:
Post in the Laia topic then, like I did

PJ says:
Oh man
For saome reason
In Chapter 6
When she was apologizing to that robot (Dunno if you did it yet, but it's not really a spoiler) as much as I wouldn't have like the sudden change, I was actually thinking, "You know what? Maybe she's alright." Then she goes back to bitch mode and I'm like, "Oh yeah, that's right."

Double S says:
LOL
I haven't done chapter 6, but I fucking hate the online story mode

PJ says:
Really? Chapter 5 really made it for me <3

Double S says:
It's "wah wah Illumnis" this and "RAWR RAWR I'M A WHORE WHO PUTS OUT ON THE FIRST DATE" that and "GET ETHAN" here and "HE'S GETTING AWAY GET HIM NAO >:C" there...GOD

PJ says:
If Laia WEREN'T in the story
It'd be so great
Really, her personality does NOTHING
I fucking LIKED Ethan, and his change of character I only like, cause he's not evil and it's awesome
But Laia
"I just showed up, hey guys, OMGWTFSUPPORTINGETHANBITCHMODE"
Bitch mode is like, her Nanoblast, only not only is she just naturally uglier than the female nanoblast is anyways, but then she just gets 10 times worse
