What would've made the game perfect...or almost

[Ceipe]

Well this thread is simple, choose one of the things that you think this game would've needed to have in order to make it almost perfect.

In my case, I have to say that if they'd given the ability for friends to communicate via the intergated microphone rather than giving the ability to see the custom picture chat (which I feel is..bleh...) would've made this game soooo much better.

Your thoughts?

[Simple]

Well since I dont have it yet I dont know but I just hope the mags are like the ones in PSO 1&2 and I also want the monogrinders digrinders and trigrinders that would make it perfect I been playing that since it came out for the gamecube :3

[Kyrith_Ranger_Pso]

well i cant get it till Wednesday but i alrdy know i wish photon arts werent in it, that's one of the reasons PSO is better than PSO

[BIG OLAF]

i wish photon arts werent in it, that's one of the reasons PSO is better than PSO

I take it you meant to say "better than PSU"? Why? Photon Arts make the combat in PSU/PSP far better than the simple, stale, 3-hit combat of PSO (my opinion).

Anyway, my take on what would've made PS0 better is a longer story. At least from what I've seen, the story is pretty short. If I'm incorrect (which I hope I am), please say so.

[Radori Nighthawk]

Player vs player. Once you were at really high levels in PSO, this mode was always enjoyable to me. :)

The MAG looks are different, and you can only raise them to level 100, but other than that MAGs are exactly the same.

Mono, Di, and Trigrinders all grind weapons by +1, the difference between them is which weapons they can grind.

thats kinda neat i didnt know that

Well MAGs can also be fed armors and weapons, not just items, this time around.

[Reksanden]

DAMN.....DS.....WANT......TO.....PLAY.......

[Java378]

If it shipped same day.

[AVHero]

If it shipped same day.

This. Getting hyped about a release on Tuesday to find out it won't be in stores until Wednesday or Thursday.

[Zero Revenge]

If it shipped same day.

Quoted for truth.

[Mike]

No friend codes, at least one more difficultly level, higher level caps, and a PSO-like special attack button.

I haven't played the game, but it would be awesome if they had plans for continued download support. I know that's not really feasible as it would leave regular DS owners out in the cold, but man it's fun to think about.

Yes, yes, and yes. I don't have a DSi myself, but just the thought of additional downloadable content gets me psyched. And come on, eventually even the variety of weapons included will get old, the ability to add on to that would just make it that much cooler.

Beyond that... Newman Rangers maybe? I can see how the style may be a bit redundant, but I'm sure there are still people that would love to play them.

[ZeroXRaven]

I agree with the release date lol I am so aggitated that I can't play that game right now :/
Tommarow is gonna be an all day PS0 play :D

Memory space for DLC could conceivably be integrated into the game cart. Your characters are saved on the cart, so why not new quests?

And MAG's can eat 5 items now instead of 3

On topic; the game would be perfect if there is a chance to actually meet people in the game, instead the random parties or friend-codes, a lobby would be nice.

Also more customization of the character would be nice (its only has 4 head options 3hair colors, 5 cloth colors, 3skin colors and 8 voices(not sure about the English version).

The game runs smooth, The maps look pretty nicely done, the monsters look cool(rare dark cute bunny's ftw), the tower-quest needs endurance and skill, most of the weapons are awesome, some PA's are pretty cool the other are insane (eat a grenade and then spit fire?????) and of course the regular treasure hunts.

THAT is what PSZ makes so great

[Zero Revenge]

My only complaint [for now] is the lack of Lobby. That would have been beyond awesome, despite understanding the difficulty it would've been.

[Arikado]

Man i'd like to see a Mass Multiplayer Online Phantasy Star with Turn-based battles........................................... ..........................NOT!

PS games are awesome the way they are if you ask me.

(Yes, even PSU.) *cough*

That's true. Here's hoping they have secret DLC plans!.

[zling]

multiplayer tower

[Arikado]

multiplayer towerWell i've heard it's pretty long so i'm not sure how it would've worked online, then again, most MMORPGs requires hours of playing together with like 50 people so yeah.

[Zantra]

There is no hospital... that would have made it perfect, 10 meseta for full healing.

[Zero Revenge]

There's no hospital?

How does one recover when we all wipe on Olga Flow [got he was always a pain in Ep 2].... Dark Falz?

[Java378]

I guess we don't. Recover.

I guess we gotta go for broke!!!!

[HUnewearl_Meira]

You can use Resta in town.

[Zero Revenge]

Oh. That's... alright.

No nurses though. There's goes any shenanigans.

[Rakath Talyn]

I for one mostly wanted more options for character customization (about 2-3 more of each option but voice would have been nice).

[Evicous]

PSO EP III much?

I for one mostly wanted more options for character customization (about 2-3 more of each option but voice would have been nice).
...what are you smoking? Aren't there 8 voices to pick from, for each class?

[Arikado]

PSO EP III much?First of all, you didn't quote me properly, I said "NOT." in caps, of course the idea of PS mass multiplayer online with turn-based battles online sounds lame.

Second, PSO EP3 isn't an MMO, it's a Card Battle game that plays online if i'm not mistaken.

What you think I didn't know PS games back when they were turned based console jrpgs? (Hell they even had dungeon crawling elements.)

"OMFG THAT GUY KILL STEALED MY RAPPY!" ... yep, totally lame.

EDIT:It was just a few suggestions. Whats the the smarty dog?Nothing man, totally fine I was just surprised, struck me like a punch in the face. :P

Well you can already do this by turning off the BGM~

[Rakath Talyn]

PSO EP III much?


...what are you smoking? Aren't there 8 voices to pick from, for each class?

Lemme rephrase.

"Two or three more options for everything that isn't voice." as that was what I typed out with a hurry and limited use of grammar checking myself.

As 8 voices was plenty, but 3 heads was slightly... depressing.

[Evicous]

Calm down, man.

And let us not start a debate over whether or not PSO is an MMO (or whether or not PSO III should count in said debate.)

Take a deep breath.

[Arikado]

Calm down, man.

Take a deep breath.Of course, I just thought you were implying I didn't know PS games used to be turn-based before.

[Evicous]

Of course, I just thought you were implying I didn't know PS games used to be turn-based before.
Oh no, I didn't mean that at all. I meant it more as a "we tried this before, let's not mention it again" kind of joke. I was typing a little too fast and I didn't get the wording correct it seems. :-D

As 8 voices was plenty, but 3 heads was slightly... depressing.
With such a tiny graphic, will you really notice the minute differences between a similar but slightly different head and another similar but slightly different head?

[Arikado]

Oh no, I didn't mean that at all. I meant it more as a "we tried this before, let's not mention it again" kind of joke. I was typing a little too fast and I didn't get the wording correct it seems. :-DYep, you know a company is running out of ideas for their franchise when they release a card game. :P

SUPER STREET FIGHTER HARDCORE ALPHA EDITION: THE FIFTH STRIKE CARD BATTLE EDITION!!!

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

I actually Played a bit of the PSO Ep.3 for a while. All I could think of was the US Yugioh theme song. I believe in the heart of the cards! Go Hildebear! Strike down Del Saber with "Twin Fisting Crush!".

Hehehehe "fisting"!

[Ghola Ben]

I agree with many of you and would like more customization. Even if it's hard to see, I'm a sucker for good character generators and it would make me feel better.

At minimum, one more character slot. I'll be sharing this cartridge with my wife, and one of us will be short changed.

If there will be GOOD DLC, I will shell out for a DSiXL or DSi.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

New Weapons types we always list sometimes, even if possibly bad if ever made, but still interesting new uses of photons.

Such as Nunchaku.
Easy enough, just put:
Photon colored handles = why not yet?
Barrel is encased, where you see the color/element, perhaps as the entire portion besides the chain linkage and top and bottom. Bottom caps getting some designs later like a Blizzard Twin Ice Orb like deal. I'll have to go look up what that doublesaber rare was called.

Maybe even Cast HUnter only if they want to limit them, making some restriction of holding the photon barrel all day that also has to hit the enemy. Hum & Neu can't handle the power (burns), but RAbots wouldn't want to roll with them.

Even if RA capable, finally a new melee weapon they can roll with.
Maybe a glove requirement to handle them for Hum & Neu. Now everyone is playing with power.

Spear had to somewhere be in the new weapon discussion of PSO games before PSU. And it was realized to both positives and negatives.

[Vernon12345]

Being able to play through the story mode with other would be nice, especially that goddamn Eternal Tower which I absolutely hate and dread playing through again when my English copy arrives.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with it. Sure, a height/weight slider during character customisation would have been nice, and only 64 slots for friend codes seems a little low, but that's just me nitpicking.

[sylwyn]

Such as Nunchaku.

Would it be self-damaging as well? :-P
Although I do wish they added the cross/bow from PSU into this. Daggers and bows are my favorite weapons and we already have daggers.

[Rakath Talyn]

Yes, because Hunters definitely needed more weapons and are in no way short changed weapon wise.

I will agree putting the Bow in (maybe also Whip) as Force weapons would have been nice.

[landman]

This game would be perfect if it was released on Wii/XBLA/PSN with improved graphics :P

This happened with FF: CC EoT. It was an evil thing that should never have been made. Do not mention such blasphemy again. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2009/071/954342_20090313_screen002.jpg

2nd part was everyone could get them too. ;)

Bow and Whip would be FOrce only?
Nothing wrong with that, as you voiced you'd like more FOrce weapons, less Hunter.

FOrces getting the best rare versions, I'd be down with that. But potentially FOrces do run this game already. RA's get it worst. Hunters second?

[Kyrith_Ranger_Pso]

to make the game better i would have kept the old 5 types of every kind of item then in RED boxes come with the specials, altho getting special weps while lvl 3 is kinda nice

[KyuPoP]

The game would have been perfect if it did not pale in comparison to Phantasy Star Online in avatar customization. Your character appearances is so limited, everyone in the game will look the same, nobody is unique. They took away a major and fun aspect, that was proportioning. No more gorillacasts, no more child like forces, no more tall skinny model like newearls. I was severely dissapointed in this, but I looked past it for now, for my friend seems to enjoy this game a lot, and thats a lot to me coming from someone who reached like level 160 on his FOnewearl in PSO.

Another thing is the halving of the level cap... >.>
