Saw this list on a certain other site but it is still rather interesting.

[Hentai_Kittie]

Nuuuuu, wheres my diga! >.<

Seriously though. pretty interesting. I'm kinda suprised theres no "machine" mob type.

So they have a Wind tech list but no techs listed in it? that's just weird..... but it's one element i've been hoping they would add for the longest. I like how they did add the Sa- techs, and wheres earth techs?

Pretty interesting indeed

These are just my random thoughts

[ShadowDragon28]

AWESOME. I'm liking the names/themes of some of those areas. ^_^

This is just the alpha build, I think there's alot that will be added to either to the final build or in updates.

[Vashyron]

Espio already translated some parts.


Photon art and technique descriptions
* SwordPA01: A jumping sword attack. Can launch, making mid-air combo links possible. Can also be charged up to two times.
* SwordPA02: A mid-air rotating attack which finishes with a landing strike at the ground. The landing attack creates a shockwave which can send enemies flying.
* SwordPA03: A charged sword attack which builds up energy as you spin around an area. This photon art can blow away enemies in the circumference of the attack.
* WlancePA01: Latches on to a target to throw it in the air and then smash it into the ground with all your strength. Can perform a single attack on targets which are far away.
* WlancePA02: Retracts the wire with incredible force after latching on to a target, then sends it back out with a powerful kick. You can shorten the range during the attack, as well.
* WlancePA04: Latches in to a target and swings them around. A wide-ranged attack that will damage not only the target, but also enemies in the vicinity.
* GunslashPA01: A quick, frontal slash with the blade. An all-purpose, easy-to-use photon art with a wide range despite its shortness.
* GunslashPA02: Follows up quick repeated thrusts with gunfire. Can heavily damaged a single target.
* GunslashPA03: Fires shots at your target after launching it into the air. Very powerful.
* RiflePA01: Replaces the magazine with piercing bullets. Though they are not capable of rapid-fire, they offer high power as a focused attack.
* RiflePA02: Replaces the magazine with bullets that explode on impact. The blast radius of the explosion can also damage nearby targets.
* RiflePA03: Concentrates fire into a single point. A simple, but very powerful attack.
* Fire01: A basic fire technique. Releases a fireball by converting photons to fire.
* Ice01: A basic ice technique. Using photons as a medium, freeze the air to fire a line of icicles.
* Thunder01: A basic lightning technique. Charges photons in order to cast a bolt of lightning in any location.
* Thunder02: Description of lightning technique 02.
* Thunder03: An intermediate lightning technique. Charges photons to generate a sphere of electricity. This sphere releases its energy to affect its surroundings.
* Light04: A technique which restores health. Heals wounds and restores lost health with through photon energy.
* Light05: A technique that cures status ailments. Through photon's purification effects, removes impurities from your body to return you to health.

This is Alpha, very probable they don't have plans to go any further than the Volcano area with it, thus no 'Machine' type.

Also I belive Earth techs was replaced with Wind. (Game doesn't reference anything Earth tech related.) It was already similiar to Fire in my opinion anyway.

[Soul Guardian]

I can just see that dropship screwing people over with an enemy when they aren't expecting it...

On another note, that Falz Shrine area sounds interesting.
Too bad wind techs aren't in the alpha though, would be cool to know if they used any of the old PS ones or made up new ones.

I'm glad they got rid of the earth spells. They were all just knockoffs of the Foie spells... And pretty much every one looked like molten lava, so they probably could just incorporate some of the diga spells into the Foie ones.

And yeah. There's definitely a Wind element in the game, but apparently no spells exist for it in the Alpha.

Anyway.....

Nice, I want to see old urban area.

im so scared for forces. looking too much like psu/psp2.

Im glad we're back to only the 3 basic and light/dark. PSP2i had far too many useless ass spells.

Can you PM me where the translations are coming from? I don't want to have to mine something that's already been done and would rather focus on the music files which are annoying me to no end.

[Serephim]

type "pso datamine" in google.

[Asai]

type "pso datamine" in google.

Yea that pulls up a bunch of shit about algorithms and swarm intelligence...

Edit: thanks for the PM

[Vashyron]

Oh right, not the hardest thing to find out, but PSO2 uses Physx.

OMFG!!!!

[DA_SHIZZLE_IG]

lol all these years, you guys are still at it. I rather just find out on my own and then look for things I might have missed.

[DA_SHIZZLE_IG]

same here

[Arande]

the recent FO info, and now seeing the sa- techs, and possibly the return of -zan. must resist urge to FOcast.

[Vashyron]

Found these... :wacko:

meseta_icon
arcscash_icon

These 2 are found next to each other.
You probably know Arcs/Arks are this game's 'Guardians' and probably know JP PSU has Guardians Cash which is a cash shop... Hmm.

Of course though this could just mean the game has another currency besides Meseta, but eh it's sounding awfully familiar.

[Demon-]

Yeah...lets hope its for something else...

[SELENNA]

Real money auction house

[adam-james]

See my thread about micro-transactions. This could be a good thing if used correctly.

Having a separate currency most likely means they look to be trying to keep things separate, so you won't be spending cash on items you normally get with meseta, and vice-versa.

So, in theory, there won't be an easy way to buy a 10/10 SN/G anytime soon :D It could just be for room decks and novelty items.

[Nitro Vordex]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it was payshop, but only if it was for cosmetic features, nothing that gives you an unfair advantage.

[Serephim]

Micro transactions aren't acceptable EVER in a P2P game.

And if the game is F2P with Micro Transactions (cash shop)....well, lets just say i probably wont be playing very long, because in the end the game will only have issues.

[Noel Vermillion]

I'm 90% sure PSO2 will be subscription based.

I'm 80% sure that it will have a cash shop of some kind...

I don't mind cash shops, but if they give paying players an unfair advantage then.. hmm :/

[Serephim]

What's the point of "SUBSCRIBING" if you still have content that isn't available to you? That was the whole point of "subscribing".

Them adding a cash shop layer on top of a subscription is them just being greedy as all shit.

Hey Noel, i know this is a redundant question, but do you play blazblue on PS3?

Exactly my thoughts, finally some common sense...

We already pay for access, blocking content and it can be whatever, is just rude and greedy how i see it.

Be P2P, or be F2P with cash shop, its just not right to have both how i see it~

(unique cases are acceptable, like paying for extra character slot. We subscribe and pay to access the servers, and if we want additional character to access the server its reasonable to pay more...)

[SELENNA]

Maybe you must pay to have mags but they don't have stats. Wait, I might just give them ideas...

[BioWarrior]

Could end up being a cash shop for cross-over DLC like PSP2 had for stuff that just doesn't really fit PSO.

Video games are a business model before they're made for peoples entertainment :/ its a sad truth we all just have to accept. Look at Warcraft... :(

I play on 360 D: sorry

[Palle]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it was payshop, but only if it was for cosmetic features, nothing that gives you an unfair advantage.

Looking at what Guardians Cash became, I wouldn't hold my breath on that last point, homie. But hey, I'm still hoping for your sake that my pessimism is unfounded.

[Serephim]

I play on 360 D: sorry

Oh well. Always fun to find another punching bag : 3

[Zyrusticae]

It is hilarious how everyone assumes F2P or a cash shop means P2W.

[JC10001]

Is "Wind" a valid element in the game? I hope not, otherwise it will be PSU all over again as far as forces are concerned. The lack of offensive light techs in the game made forces suck against dark creatures.

RE: Free to play... this game should be free to play. All of its competition (Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, etc) is going to be not to mention the portable Phantasy Stars. I'd be fine with a pay-shop of some sort but there should be no subscription fee.

[ThePendragon]

Yay! Zan is back! Now we just need Gra!

[lugnut360]

Hey just wondering what all the drops are.

Sword/Gun/Staff for respective weapon drop.

Disk (green)- Techniques

Canister- Items

Some sorta Computer Chip thing (Purple)- Units or Armor????

[•Col•]

Is "Wind" a valid element in the game?

Yup. Made a post in the info thread like 2 days ago proving it.



I hope not, otherwise it will be PSU all over again as far as forces are concerned. The lack of offensive light techs in the game made forces suck against dark creatures.


And wat. How does a Wind element make Forces suck? :l

....As the OP clearly posted, there are 3 offensive Light spells.... Every other element only has 4 offensive spells.

[JC10001]

And wat. How does a Wind element make Forces suck? :l

....As the OP clearly posted, there are 3 offensive Light spells.... Every other element only has 4 offensive spells.

Because it is the same situation as forces/light techs in PSU.

In PSU, force started off without any offensive light techs....so when fighting dark creatures they sucked because they could not exploit those creature's elemental weakness.

If, in PSO2, forces don't have any offensive wind spells then they will suck against whatever creatures are weak to wind (presumably lightning creatures) because they will not be able to exploit their elemental weakness.

[NoiseHERO]

It is hilarious how everyone assumes F2P or a cash shop means P2W.

Like how PVP mini games automatically mean a bad community.

That's right, I went there.

[Cephei Mordred]

I used to be 100 percent anti Play To Win

But if a game is good enough, I'll allow for a minor bit of it.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY, SEGA

[Arande]

Because it is the same situation as forces/light techs in PSU.

If, in PSO2, forces don't have any offensive wind spells then they will suck against whatever creatures are weak to wind (presumably lightning creatures) because they will not be able to exploit their elemental weakness.

With that logic, RA must have been useless too since light/dark bullets weren't out for a good while after launch (oh jeez, reminded myself of the days of marseline, 6k. Even then I recall 2-3 shotting those dark mobs with foie anyways..

And as said before, this is alpha. it's not complete. We don't know what will be at launch.

[Bulgereek Nookstain]

Because it is the same situation as forces/light techs in PSU.

In PSU, force started off without any offensive light techs....so when fighting dark creatures they sucked because they could not exploit those creature's elemental weakness.

If, in PSO2, forces don't have any offensive wind spells then they will suck against whatever creatures are weak to wind (presumably lightning creatures) because they will not be able to exploit their elemental weakness.You see, the flaw in this line of thought is that you seem to have overlooked the fact that this is an alpha where a significant portion of the game's features have not been implemented. Notice that there are no wind techs listed at all. This is not because they won't exist, but because they just aren't in the alpha. You know, like MAGs, subclasses, certain class costumes, and the majority of the game's content.

[Hrith]

At that time, Diga was the best DPS for a force even against earth-element monsters, so...

[•Col•]

In my opinion, Wind techs should focus on controlling enemy movement rather than dealing damage. For instance, launching them into the air or send them flying away.

[Hrith]

Yeah, we totally need MOAR KNOCKBACK.

[Pik]

Reguarding the ArcCash or w/e it is called, durring some interupt events, I would see enemies sometimes drop badge looking items. it could it be that the cash is dropped from interupt events or by some other means. I mean, PSU was full of badge type items that were used to trade to NPCs for other items. Also, this data mine was from the alpha right? Why would SEGA include data about a cash shop in an alpha test?

[Bulgereek Nookstain]

Yes, it is possible that the Arks Cash could end up being a trading currency similar to PSO's Photon Drops or event items in PSU. It is too early to say for certain one way or another, but the similarity in name to GUARDIANs Cash cannot be overlooked.

[Pik]

Yes, it is possible that the Arks Cash could end up being a trading currency similar to PSO's Photon Drops or event items in PSU. It is too early to say for certain one way or another, but the similarity in name to GUARDIANs Cash cannot be overlooked.

Yeah, but how illogical it would be to add the data of a cash shop into an alpha cannot overlooked either.

Does anyone know what those badge-looking items were that were dropped in the videos?

The looked exacly like the Arcs emblem.

[Bulgereek Nookstain]

Considering the data pertains to an actual visible icon, it does lend some credence to the non-cash shop currency theory.

As to why it would be in the alpha, well that question is really valid for both theories. I wouldn't think much of it, though. As the datamining has shown, there is a lot of data in the alpha client that is not currently accessible in any form.

[NoiseHERO]

Yes, it is possible that the Arks Cash could end up being a trading currency similar to PSO's Photon Drops or event items in PSU. It is too early to say for certain one way or another, but the similarity in name to GUARDIANs Cash cannot be overlooked.

Better HOPE that's what it is...

If Arks are the new Guardians, then it's technically the same name. e_e

If they did guardians cash before and JP players were cool with it, I dunno what's stopping them from doing it again, Just because most of US hate it.

At this point... I don't care anymore. e_e

I have a job.

[Serephim]

Like how PVP mini games automatically mean a bad community.

That's right, I went there.

Eat it.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Vashyron]

Yeah, but how illogical it would be to add the data of a cash shop into an alpha cannot overlooked either.

Care to point any of these out? I haven't noticed anything like that.

[NoiseHERO]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yeah!

[Pik]

Not currently accessible, but has a chance of being accessable in the last stage of the alpha, while a cash shop has no chance of appearing in the alpha.

On a side note, I rewatched the video with the item with the strange icon. I think it was a unit, and it actually does not look much like the Arcs emblem.

The item name was リア/ケーナュエンテ (I think, was a poor quality video). I can usually read katakana pretty well, but that name for the item really makes no sense to me, but the / between リア　and the rest leads me to believe it might be a unit.

[Pik]

Care to point any of these out? I haven't noticed anything like that.

Here you go, sorry about the poor quality. This item was dropped off one of that spiders from an interupt event.

And here is one when he gets close enough to see the item name. Sorry it is .png..

[Vashyron]

..Yeah I think that's a unit.

[Zyrusticae]

Oh, come on, really? That is some of the most facetious reasoning I've ever seen!

Look, just because it is in alpha doesn't mean Arcs Cash has to appear at all. In fact, there is a lot of content in the game that is not going to be seen in the alpha.

To answer the question "Why would Sega include information about a cash shop in an alpha test?", the simple answer is because they don't cut out EVERYTHING that isn't going to be used during the alpha! Just like, y'know, how we have all these different techniques we know exist but don't show up in any form within the alpha.

Arcs Cash is in there because they plan on having a PSO2 equivalent to Guardians Cash. Period. End of story.

You're right, you just provided so many facts and logic that there is no way I can think otherwise now. It's nice to see that someone is actually thinking things through and making conclusions based on things other than personal opinion and not puting that opinion in the form of a statement.

Btw, you feeling like you need to explain why my reasoning is incorrect contradicts calling my reasoning "facetious".

[Vashyron]

Hmm, I Can't tell if that's sarcasm. :wacko:

In case it is;

Area_None
Area_OldUrban
Area_NewUrban
Area_Stadium
Area_Forest
Area_SnowMountain
Area_DarkfalzSeal
Area_Desert
Area_Tunnel
Area_LavaCave
Area_Dragon

Only 3 of those are expected to show up in the Alpha.

[NoiseHERO]

Knew falz was the last boss...

(Nah SEGA can't be THAT sloppy, it's gotta be A boss)

But no, he's gonna be the last boss.

Interested in those urban areas for sure.

[Serephim]

was it really a doubt in anyone's mind about Falz being the final boss? That's like playing a Mario game and wondering who the final boss is gonna be >_>;

[NoiseHERO]

was it really a doubt in anyone's mind about Falz being the final boss

No, but I was the first one to call it. You know, calling the obvious. I called the obvious. I called it first. I called the obvious first.

[Faceplant]

new bosses and dungeons get added to old mmo's all the time though; so dark falz may not be the hardest boss.

would be rad if they had an alignment system.

Why does my thread have this thick smell of speculation to it?

If the spells are balanced and fair then i say more the better, if theres 2 spells that just do the same but one looks cooler ( to someone else then the other) then its adding more customization to skills.. e.g i want to make a full fire based Force, I can do that and not have to worry needing other elemental techs to be any good .

as long as its within reason ^^

What's the point of "SUBSCRIBING" if you still have content that isn't available to you? That was the whole point of "subscribing".

Them adding a cash shop layer on top of a subscription is them just being greedy as all shit.

Hey Noel, i know this is a redundant question, but do you play blazblue on PS3?

do you think the subscription is going to be like psu where it come out every month? or u have to update it like with the hunters licence on pso for CG ?

Id very much like it to be the same as the pso for GC as if i knew i wasnt going to be playing much that month and could w8 untill i was going to be playing untill paying for it.. so im not wasting money every month.

Anyone get what i mean ?

[Zaix]

PSU PC actually had bundles for subscriptions. I expect we'll be seeing monthly (auto renew) 3 month (one time) and 6 month and maybe a year (one time). The bundles were of course cheaper overall.

Hopfully the bundles have quite alot of discount , cus if its anything like psu then its going to be hard to pay for .

Im wanting to beleive, they have realized theres alot of good mmo's out there that are at a low cost (even wow is free untill certain lvl ) and not put the game at a high price.


ps. wow sucks =D

[Serephim]

WoW is amazing, i just started playing last week because some friends dragged me into it.

At first i was like "this game is just an ugly version of these other MMOs", but as i kept playing i slowly realized why it's so popular. It just has so much stuff, and doesn't bullshit on content or quests.


This is from someone who doesn't even glance at MMOs because of how similar they all are to eachother. Also coming from someone who absolutely hates WoW's ugly ass characters.

i played wow for a year or two, was a gm for prvt server aswell. now it sucks.. its too old tbh

[Serephim]

It is quite dated. But i still think it has what so many other MMOs lack that its enough for me to overlook most of it for now. Im only on trial now, im not sure if i'll pay to keep playing.


I'll say one thing though, if they ever decide to make a World of Warcraft II, it's going to blow most of these other MMOs off the map. If WoW was more modern in the graphical department, then i dont think there would be anything that newer MMOs offer that WoW doesn't.

because man WOW's characters are fugly. Took me a while to get over that.

[Bulgereek Nookstain]

Now if only WoW had enjoyable gameplay, then maybe it would really be good!

Stop talking about WoW; no one cares about WoW.

[Zaix]

WoW II better have Crysis graphics... (That would be ridiculous processing in a busy city)

[JC10001]

With that logic, RA must have been useless too since light/dark bullets weren't out for a good while after launch (oh jeez, reminded myself of the days of marseline, 6k. Even then I recall 2-3 shotting those dark mobs with foie anyways..

And as said before, this is alpha. it's not complete. We don't know what will be at launch.

Well yes, rangers did suck without those bullets....but there is a bit of a false equivalency here....rangers had to wait 3 months to get those bullets compared to the YEARS that forces have had to wait for decent light based techs. And no, Regrants isn't decent. They just got them in Japan and they will probably never see the light of day on US servers.


You see, the flaw in this line of thought is that you seem to have overlooked the fact that this is an alpha where a significant portion of the game's features have not been implemented. Notice that there are no wind techs listed at all. This is not because they won't exist, but because they just aren't in the alpha. You know, like MAGs, subclasses, certain class costumes, and the majority of the game's content.

It goes without saying that this is an Alpha and that certain things have been left out such as mags and whatnot. It is peculiar though that they listed the names of techs for every element, (many of which aren't present in the alpha), except wind. I'm just saying that I would not be surprised for them to screw forces over. They have done it before and as Arande pointed out they did it to rangers too! Its not as if my suspicions are completely unfounded. Having said that, I hope I am wrong.

Ok, so instead of trying to open up the multiple encrypted/compressed/whatever ADX music files in a media player, how about changing what PSO2 plays at the title screen instead?

Unfortunately not that simple as you need to know the name of the CPK/MUS file. The only other one that you can not hear past the login can easily be found in the Game's memory is character creation, so I recorded it. :wacko:

http://www.multiupload.com/VB8IEJ04VZ

Also to those interested,
mu_11_bgm_system.cpk
mu_11_bgm_charamake.cpk

These are the only 2 found 'actual' names for the CPK files.
If others, say ones for the forest or such levels are discovered we will be able to listen. :>

Thank you! downloading~

Edit: wow im loving the BGMs a lot so far... they're really good!

Thanks so much :D

Also Misc stuff found today that is kinda noteworthy.



rarity_15 (Goes from 1 to 15, so 15 is the maximum rarity.)




whisper_chat
guild_chat
public_chat
party_chat




quest_multi (Probably means the 3 of 4 player party quests.)
quest_single (Probably means single as in a single party.)
quest_solo (Possible it's like PSOBB where you can play single player quests here.)




warehouse_all
warehouse_free
warehouse_01 (Goes to 09)


By the sound of this it's possible it could be storage that you get "1 free", then possible have to pay for more with Arcscash, or something like PSU with Nanotransformer X. (Or it could be something else completely unrelated, ha.)

Also mail is in.



BlackList_Error_GM < Lol.

[NoiseHERO]

Lol, I listen.

But I don't agree. :D

/slaps a bunch of shit off the table in frustration

But yeah, still hoping they erm... I dunno how to explain it...

Fill in this huge gap that I'm feeling from these alpha videos before the beta happens.

Yeah, I know....I'm kinda worried about a few things myself.

[Angelo]

I'm surprised there is no rip of the music files.

[yoshiblue]

Thats true.

[Vashyron]

If you don't mind ear rape while they are playing and that they are split into many smaller files, yes they have been 'ripped.'

They are ADX files that are encrypted or something.

OOOO cant w8 to see the beta , does anyone know if the beta is going to be open ? or any info on the future beta ? or even a guess following on what sega normaly do ?

[Kanashimi]

They are ADX files that are encrypted or something.

I've looked at the ADX files. The part that bothers me is that the standard encryption flag is 0x08 (and this encryption method has been documented extensively, as on Wikipedia), but the flag that appears in these files is 0x09. I haven't tried the original decryption method on the audio files, but that little detail is enough to prevent me from being absolutely certain that it would bear fruit anyway.

[Para]

They're broken into many smaller files because of how the music system is setup just like PSO. If you looked at the music files for PSO, you will understand.

[Vashyron]

Yes, I realized that the moment I saw it, it's for the music transitions. Though that can be stitched together rather easily, the real problem is the encryption.
