An object found in an archaeological dig from an undetermined age. It shows a high level of technology.


Magical, high level of technology, writings from Moatoob, from an ancient age (or not)... I don't get it xD

[Minamo]

Just an oopart.

[Arika]

well, ancient ages of ryucross is the ragol ( I think)
they have high level of technology (PSO technology) and in PSU ep1-3. it said that there is old civilization(pioneer2) that using A-photon energy and was somehow extinguished.

[landman]

But... Gurhal civilizations are all human based civilizations, why should Beast and Newmen use an ancient civilization writing from their planets? I though their writings were more "modern".

Oh and didn't know this word, oopart, very interesting, and another possibility xD

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

maybe its to do with the moatoob relics

[kurisu1974]

Or maybe the skull is ancient, but the thing it rests on (the round thing with the writing) isn't?

[Akaimizu]

That sounds like the best explanation. Not only that, but it's more plausable than if they found the Ancient skull on an Ancient stand with the writing on it.

[Weeaboolits]

They're trying to perplex you with moatoob font so you won't notice that they misspelled "skull".

[DEM_CIG]

Or maybe its magical, and it tells forutunes...=P

[scarz]

well people have been buying them like crazy when i sold mine i had the cheapest price 300k!!!! and a flock of people came and i got 900k!!!! just from three skulls!!!

[landman]

Yes, the "modern" stand is provably the most coherent deduction O_O

So maybe some Moatoob merchant is selling this stuff found who knows were telling it is magical and all...

[stukasa]

I wouldn't put too much thought into it, I'm sure ST didn't. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Thanks for translating the text landman, I was curious what it said! (lol skall)

[Akaimizu]

Well, what do you think is the better Japanese/English Romanji spelling of Skull?

They certainly couldn't use Skull because too many people would probably say, "School". The the idea of a Magical School sounds a bit like a Harry Potter or Witchcraft school reference. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Weeaboolits]

Except the text is in English, using a fancy font, I doubt it was an intentional misspelling.

[Akaimizu]

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I think of it as a Romanization of a Katakana used to spell out english words. It could've been printed as Skall so it would be pronounced correctly.

It's printed that way for both Japanese and English servers, so I would guess they make reservations so the pronunciation doesn't get butchered as much.

The Japanese tend to take any written words and use their own rules of pronunciation regardless of language. Be it english, french, or even Chinese. They pronounce Pinyin written text completely with their own Romanized rules of language, not Pinyin.

Does anyone else think the artist just needed to put something on the side of the stand so it wouldn't look boring?

somebody at sega is snickering Oo

[JuliaJunku]

Guys it was just announced... They're having an emergancy rollback to fix the issue with the "skall."

[RemiusTA]

You guys do know this is a an allusion to the Crystal Skull phenomenon in real life, right?

google Crystal Skulls. Theres an article somewhere that has the theory and the skeptical view on the subject, but neither are able to be proven true or false.

[Akaimizu]

Hmm. Maybe if I get one, my luck in this game would change. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Maybe not.

Here's to being an Allusion to an Allusion.

[RemiusTA]

That allusion to an allusion from my allusion of the skull was just an allusion conjured to use the word allusion over and over again in an intellectual sentence.

Now lets talk about Irony and Parallelism!

Yes I did, and I LOLed when I first saw the pic and description of the PSU crystal skull. Anyways, I think its funny that Sega would put it in PSU.

And as for "Magical Skall"--- Engrish FTW.

(Although I suppose we could argue the origins of the PSU Crystal Skull for fun...my personal theory is a Beast found it in the dirt somewhere, thought it was pretty, and made up a special display base for it with modern Moatoob writing labeling what it was).
