I'm usually never the person who starts these countdowns, usually because I'm either to late, don't care, or they annoy me lol. But for this one I can't help but start the countdown. As December started I only thought about one thing. 25 days till my personal christmas, PSØ!

So I'm count it the official way there is technically only 23 days left and about 12 hours.

So here I go ^.^

23 Days Left till the release of Phantasy Star 0. (JPN Ver.)

Get Hyped~ ^^;:-o

Edit: This is of course for the Japanese Version of PSØ

It's OK I don't celebrate xmas either, that's why I put it as my own personal Christmas. ;-) And yah I speak English too, I'm just going based of my former PSO knowledge and my love for ALL rpgs.

We'll be feeding on your table scraps until the NA release, so be magnanimous. :D

Er, okay guys. Though don't gut me if I can't give you story details.

I could care less about story, PSO wasnt known for its story, and PSU was so dorked up with bad JRPG cliches and nonsense that I gave up on that as well.

Gameplay, enemies, and how much fun it is, thats all I care about.

Dec 9, 2008, 11:44 AM
You got that right. Well, that's how I feel about all action Dungeon Hackers. It's like one of my favorite genres in the world. However, my problem is part of my addiction. I have a plethora of these games. I'm not just addicted to just a few games in the genre, but practically to the genre itself. In fact, outside of the many little indi-games that fall into the category, I've played a good majority of them.

And while a few, like Diablo II's mythos and CG movies, have surprisingly interesting tales...I hardly care in the end what really happens with the 'Wanderer', or Diablo's famous 'Archangel'. I just want more of the game. More things to fight, more places to fight in, and seeing shiny stuff pop out of stuff I defeat (or the means to get more shiny stuff).

Now, not all are good. There are some with badly implemented combat controls, or have too little combat variety (in addition to a lack of environment interaction) to maintain interest. I've had a few of those, which I play for a while, but then kind of give up on.

Still, there has never really been a Dungeon crawler in which I felt any importance in the on-going story in being a factor of why I play it. (Even Dungeon Siege 2's attempt to create some lovely story scenes really was just filler stuff, to me)

I don't take the stories seriously, but I truly do get entertained by comedy. Some of my favorite dialogue, text, voice, otherwise, in a Dungeon Hacker...is when the game doesn't look at itself too seriously and throws in humor. Things thrown in there to cause me to chuckle are probably the best thing you can serve me, as long as I enjoy the feel of your hack and slash. Story is just gravy...however it will never be my expectation.

psofan219
Dec 9, 2008, 04:27 PM
Each day, when the countdown reaches closer to zero, my anticipation and hype get built up even more. But as stated above, story... bleh. Like anchovies on pizza, not too many people care for it.

Let's all remember to do each other the common curtesy of warning about spoilers, because I DO like story in my games, and I took the time to get as much of PSO's story as I could from offline. I like having purpose to what I'm doing. 'Kill them because they're there' is not enough for me.

Hey if you would could you include the Countdown in your post, (Day 14) The Font is System and the Size is 5.

Please and Thanks

And regarding your post, I think you should buy it you could immerse your self in the online aspect, and be with us =)

Also, you'll get good items to trade to your English card.


One day missed! Argh! Where have you been, ShadowInferno?
Sorry, I was busy. I had school and work, and then set up my computer, which not only included Setting up the OS, but putting it together. Which I didn't finish till late, since I got in at 11pm. So I was tired just went to sleep. (Oh btw, the graphics on it are amazing =o ) Thanks for getting this day, for me. To bad about yesterday.

Dec 12, 2008, 05:19 PM
Got my post edited for you with the countdown~ the fact that it seems to have quick chat from PSO but with both english and japanese listed for each option is good enough for me in terms of communication with people I dont have a friend code for. so after seeing that in trailers im pre-ording it at this current moment.

So as of today I join the ranks of the importers, and on PSO even 70% of the time I switched the language over to japanese since I found playing it like that helped me learn to read everything easier.

Hell if anything depending how well I can understand it all I may just keep using my import copy for online play when the english version comes out if they can communicate with each other and just use the english copy I plan to buy IF it comes out for story mode. Or if a friend wants to play PS0 with me through local multi.

Precisely. Always try out a game on your own, no matter what score it has gotten in a review or two. People do have different tastes, and just because whatever reviewer reviews the game works for a gaming site/magazine/whatever, it doesn't mean his opinion is ultimate.

How in the Hell Laser did PSU get an equal score to PSO!? Has the world gone mad?

PSU as a game on it's own, if looked at with no relation to PSO at all, is in it's own accord just as good as PSO. There's plenty of room for argument here, but as far as I concern things myself, all games shouldn't be compared to their own counterparts, but rather only known for them. Much like saying "Current-age sonic games suck", while in themselves they're fun games.


Has anything been established for an English release date for PSZ yet? As far as I can tell by past news comments and links, an English copy of the game was promised for contest winners, if they so choose it. With this as an example, it seems apparent that the English version of the game is either complete or nearly complete, and it should be out relatively soon after the JP release. I'd suspect early January, but does anyone know if there's a specific date anywhere?

no way its coming out early January, and no date has been announced by Sega. If anything expect it after PSP is released in North America.

I'd estimate Summer 2009, if even that! :/

That was only an estimated date by myself - not official! It might come earlier, or even later.

Well, I'd much rather the game in English.

(Estimates are simply poor calculations)

lol ugh... well considering I don't know any japanese its probably better to wait at least until the date gets announced. I'm just so hyped up for this game. I spent a few thousand hours on the cube playing PSO xD.

An estimation is a rough calculation OR a guess, not ''simply a poor calculation.''

But yeah, no-one actually knows when it's coming. Let's hope for a confirmed date soon.

Ditto; there's no way I'll have it by tomorrow, but I've reached that stage in waiting where you irrationally believe your package will arrive, every morning.

Yeah. Play-asia was really quick about it.

NCSX is just a bit behind, but not by much. Apparently, according to their site, their copies of the game shipped early as well. At the moment, they expect to either have the game shipping to pre-orders tomorrow or wednesday.

For me, hopefully they get it nice and early and ship mine as early as the beginning of tomorrow. That would allow me to get it on the 24th. Then everybody will know what I'll be playing all christmas day. :) :) If not, then I guess friday or saturday would be fine. :)

I hope I get mine soon... I hope it doesn't take too long to ship to Denmark. Besides, Denmark is always ages behind on everything Japanese. That goes for games, anime and manga. Look at the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. It's friggin' 7 years behind!

But I torrented PSU, and only play online during pay box downtime. I'm a blessing, not naughty.

Got my rather virtual copy yesterday! Great fun, too bad I don't understand a word of it (although I got the hang of some things pretty quickly; Immediately knew how to equip stuff and feed mags, etc. xD). Awesome, awesome awesome game.

Merry Christmas right back at ya! Have a good day.
