Which would you prefer "sooner/now"?

[Arrow]

Not my traditional multi-choice, but a bit simpler poll about which would you want to see sooner?

Minigame like content
- hoverboard stuff and other "lifestyle" things (Thinking like Mabinogi...and no This is not about more clothing/armor that follows the Video Game Developer's Rule of Proportionality of Relative Effectiveness Concerning Armor on Females)
- In short: Stuff that doesn't involve grinding and killing stuff repetitively and more recreational content (that doesn't involve disco rave party that can just go afk in the lobby).

Combat/Quest Content
- What everybody has been asking for: More "Endgame" Quests and TACOs and things that involve killing stuff...with fire. Oh and let's throw in rebalancing and new weapons also.

The Phashion stuff
- More of the purty costumes (where is the badass stuff for guys, eh?)

A combination thereof
- 'Nuff Said.

[Jakosifer]

Combat/gameplay of course.

Minigames and that other shit can come later, make what actually matters better first.

[NoiseHERO]

That's a hard one...

I just want guys/casts to actually get shit appearance wise. and a lot of monsters to fight. >_>;;

Also all we get is outfits/hair that'll also look simultaneously look cute on girls and long coats/dante coats. Cut that shit out.

[Gardios]

Fashion shouldn't even be up there. They're constantly making new costumes because that's where most of their revenue comes from, and even if they stopped for a while the artists wouldn't suddenly start developing other content. They can't (neither are they expected to) do that.

The amount of costumes is one thing.

Who they're for and actual designs is another. >_>;

But yeah gameplay > extras > fashion.

[BIG OLAF]

Combination. It's easy for other developers and teams to focus on upgrading the experience as a whole quite easily, so why can't SEGA do it?

No, really. Why?

I put it there just to see how many ppl would (for some strange reason) want it to continue that way...

Anyway let me throw my original opinion out to the wind: I sorta want something to distract me from the grinding that doesn't involve going afk in the lobby on dance modo...
I recall seeing they had racing hoverboards in PSU so I was thinking: "that'd be a fun..."
And yea, the combat needs work and all...I just want to be able to go elsewhere to sorta "cool down" from constant trash mob killing (I hate trash mobs...I like the bosses now cause I finally figured out how to use HU effectively.)

[UnLucky]

Rappy races, Rappy fights, and neglecting your very own Rappy in My Room!

[HeartBreak301]

No, really. Why?

Waifu dresses are the main source of income.

[Valimer]

Combat/Gameplay balancing comes first.

Would be fun to have extra activities though. Like instead of FUN scratchers you could go to an arcade and spend FUN points to play mini games to get FUN items or whatever. Kinda redundant sounding, but I personally think it would be more fun and immersive.

I mean, they do have those extra rooms that are tucked away that no one EVER goes into. Makes me wonder if they never had a purpose or if they were put there but never completed.

[Valimer]

Rappy races, Rappy fights, and neglecting your very own Rappy in My Room!

gosh, rappy raising and racing would be fun and funny lol.

[Reiketsu]

Combat/Quest content, definitely.

Sure would be nice if PSO2 had minigame variety like Ryu ga Gotoku where you can literally do anything you want from manga reading to snowball fighting, but yeah, if I wanna do stuff like that I'll just play another game.

As for fashion, honestly... I would be fine with them totally neglecting that, if it meant they'd concentrate more on gameplay. I already have so many outfits, anyways, and I don't even wear 80% of them, lol

[ShinMaruku]

Combination. It's easy for other developers and teams to focus on upgrading the experience as a whole quite easily, so why can't SEGA do it?

No, really. Why?

Because Sega is not as motivated as the others. They are not Hayahsi wants to "create the cutest chicks in video games."

[ReaperTheAbsol]

Give me a Rappy themed amusement park filled with all sorts of mini games and rides after I see a few more additional combat oriented activities like a battlegrounds sort of thing with players vs. clones or even a survival dome where you fight until you can't go on.

[Keyblade59]

I've gotten my fill of clothing, I would say I would like some stuff revamped, like a lot of the weapons to be more appropriate to their rarity, except for joke weapons.

[Rien]

Not enough caseal fashion

[HeartBreak301]

Not enough caseal fashion

Don't forget the CASTs.

[TehblackUchiha]

they also need to throw in real events like MAX attack

[Syklo]

I want more variety than intensity, hence I'm interested in minigame-like stuff (e.g. the entire vita intro, in QUEST FORM)

[Laxedrane]

they also need to throw in real events like MAX attack

For the love of goodness this. One of the few things I wish they port over was the way they handled this stuff from psu.

[Rien]

Actually scratch that

I want more rare drop rates

you know, maybe like boost it up to 0.2% chance instead of the 0% chance we have now.

[SquashDemon]

I actually had a thought about that Trailer that showed two parties facing Falz Hunar.

It was: "I bet if that snowboarding/sliding on your feet in a snowboarding style scene was playable it would have the shittiest controls ever"

Because that's how a lot of games tend to be when they have a simple minigame they just wanna toss in with no real effort. I mean, if they made it well, and I mean like 1080 for N64 level gameplay. Then heck yeah, I'd play it. Another cool thing would be a minigame that led to a combat field. Like the Parkour session in the first trailor that showed the original team running to confront a Dark Ragne. It'd be cool to have a series of ATE Jumps with additional button presses for points, (Sonic Adventure Style) And then land right in the middle of a Dark Ragne quest.

but eh, from a programming standpoint, both of those things would be incredibly annoying to make for three reasons.

1) LOTS of additional poses/motions and most likely map designs that you'd need to get from the art team. We've seen how stingy they are with Lobby Action releases.

2) Coding entirely new states for characters to enter, keeping them from entering them during normal gameplay, keeping THOSE packets from being sent by the server when not called for by certain users. (So as to enable the ever-so-popular player-instigated FSOD we all know and loathe.) Dealing with hitbox errors that LOVE to show up during those times, fine-tuning for player response time.

And finally 3) Getting the moneymen in charge to even fund this much company time to work on it, because let's face it, what I've just detailed is multiple months worth of work that isn't going to new costumes, accessories, or lobby actions.

So yeah, while nice, I don't see those happening, specifically because they weren't in the original release in any way, and it'd cost too much time and money to add them than the people in charge probably want to give.

[NoiseHERO]

Where's my PVP, Casino, Ultimate mode, unique running/walking animes and standing poses, My Ethan outfit, My PSP2i Human Male outfit, My ACTUAL events, like 20 more room designs, it's been a year and we only have like 4 of them just recolored over and over and My cyberpunk Motorcycle.

[SquashDemon]

PVP? In a Phantasy Star game? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-I mean...uuh. *ahem*

I do not believe that they have ever offered a successfully suitable Player-verses-player style of gameplay in any Phantasy Star game to date, and I am curious as to why you would like them to add it to this one.

I think you have another image of PVP in your head.

2 out of 3 aint bad?

Plus it be s much harder to balance then PvE it always is. ANd guess what THEY DONT HAVE THAT REASONABLY BALANCED.

Gunner would own once they got someone air born. Hunters and fighters wouldnt be able to get anywhere near ranged users. And forces and rangers would drop a massacre from affar on top of forces and techers being annoying with their status effects.

The only good thing I see out of a PvP is people actually giving a fuck about defense hahaha.

Personally I don't see why they don't just rip on their other titles and add engine already created in house to them. Sonic all star racing, Sonic shuffle etc etc all sitting right there. Heck they even had "Avater" and "Miis" in the most recent all star racing. Build your own character already in the game. But alas the hell do I know.

add battle mode.

[ShinMaruku]

They would have to overhaul this shit for pvp and hunters would have fucking infinities, you just impale your victim and toss them.
What I want is for Sega to sell a nude mode and make platinum do the combat just so I can have

probbly battle mode would have to be like the battle quests on psobb, your stats would be changed so people would be tested by their skill.

Oh and only tera is a skill based Online RPG. Only in it can 10 crush 20 by skill.

[BIG OLAF]

Where's my ACTUAL events

jesus fuckin' christ this. What gives, SEGA? A year into the game and not a single EVENT? PSU had like three by now, at least.

[ShinMaruku]

PSU is better than people give it credit.

[Z-0]

According to SEGA, event means putting Xie in the lobby and have a limited time EQ (that can only appear sometimes, lol).

The new EQ we're getting on May 15th is the start of an event... :3 :3 :3

...Shame they're not really events. >_>

[~Aya~]

Just going to say...


Being able to accept only 20 quests is a joke~
Too lazy to drop the 20 rare monster quests to do quests that I can actually complete. 40 for premium is just as bad~

For the love of Rock's mohawk, can we please get a separate inventory for quest based items? Remember pocket monsters? The backpack you get in that game is more versatile than cutting edge futuristic space backpacks in this game.


Sorry.. i might even send actual suggestion such as this.

This goes well with Mary Poppins theory of bottomless handbags.

And limited inventory space goes very well with the idea of free to play games not being free to enjoy.

Video Game Developers' Proportionality of Fun
The amount of "fun" given to the players is proportional to the amount of money given by the players

[FLAMINGO CHORD]

honestly though the only reason I play this game is because I want to buy clothes to make my character badass.

even though costumes THEMSELVES are not that big of a deal, your ability to dish out damage / your skills / your attitude are the focus of the game and the clothes you wear accents that to a point where you want clothes that suit your gameplay style or even shape how you're seen.

I'm only a level 30 Hu and my entire existence right now is pretty much devited to getting those shoulders with the cape

PSU is better than people give it credit.

Some people shit on PSU but post-Aoti PSU did a lot of better than this game at making quests give you a reason to really hax out your gear and slave away leveling up PAs.

Firebreak/1up Cup, Winter Event, and Max Attack G(s? lol) were some of my favorite highlights of that game.

[ShinMaruku]

Don't tell these people that. At the end curve of PSU psp2 the game became decent and worth something.

[Ce'Nedra]

Even though I was very late with it I loved the Airboard racing in PSU so I would love to have that back. Also where is my EP3 Card Revolution mini game? >:

YESSSSS!

Dear gods, I would love a re-release of EP III in some way shape or form. I get that a lot of people didn't like the game, but eh, card games aren't for everyone.

Doesn't mean they aren't for me though! I loved my weak hit block Shield Monster Arkz deck, it was so freakin' fun.

[The Walrus]

EP3 was fun. But holy hell some of the npcs were op early on.

[SquashDemon]

yeah, but only if you had the cards to make them that way, Endu's stupid overpowered with a pan arms deck, but otherwise, it's just stupid to use your deck leader as a form of attack when playing arkz

also, Lol Reiz.

On Topic, I'd also love to see more TACOs, seriously, we have two and one of them is set in Lillipa, or as I like to call it, The Profound Darkness' reservation.

Because seriously, Falz can freakin' HAVE that planet.

-Shenmue style quick time sparring
-Make people play some sort of children's card game
-Sonic Riders style hover board races
-SA- Knuckles style find the whatever hunts with beepers
-Become a pilot and protect your fellow Arkz.
-Become one with NiGHTs or Reala for a day or two
-Get stuck in a ball and roll around for bananas/floating Rappys
-Throw in some sports games in a relay fashion.

Shoot 3 goals, run a 400 meter dash, jump into water for a 200 breast stroke, get out and shoot the targets, sit down and grab a chili dog.

[Demon-]

Combat/Quest Content first and formost then work on the other crap.


Events - where are the MAX Attacks?

Ultimate Difficulty - been hoping they would add this for awhile

Challenge Mode - pretty much like pso ep1&2 did

Extend Codes - or a way to make all those good looking weapons not sucks so bad

More Classes - protranser please and make traps actually worth using

More Weapon Types - twin sabers, slicers, lazer cannons idk

More Balancing - im looking at Gunner mostly (but TE and FI too) and stop it with the fury stance ratk

Fix Grinding - not saying it should be easy just back it off a bit with the RNG

Weapon Potential - it should be on weapons to begin and then we can upgrade them

Increase Drop Rate - so people can actually hunt items like you could in other PS games

Beasts - nano blasts or suv will never happen but still

Better Looking Knuckles - and stop it with the holding them with an open hand (Sega doesnt know how to make a fist)

Better Looking Outfits - for males seriously something more badass please

Male Long Hair - only 1 in this game doesn't look feminine

Mini Games
Casino - I loved it in PSU
Soccer Lobby - yep
Card Game - PSO Episode III Card game would be great but even a small card game like FFVIII had.

But this whole list is just wishful thinking.

[ShinMaruku]

Nude patch (jk)
More PAs with better balance
Force and techer tree rebalancing.

I just want it the fashion to be inspired from the classic series. It is a more conventional costume. I mean inspired from all characters, completed with palette swaps, so a red Eusis outfit or other color Rudy coat is possible.

[thematesV2]

I like the idea of casino and arcade.

call it the GameHall: they could put old pso style minigames in the arcade. fight through an old psII or psIII dungeon for exp boosts! Play Photon Chair racing or soccer for drop rate boosts! team games where winning team all gets goodies!)

also, As much as I would love more monsters/levels/places to kill with fire, I definitely think actual large events would be awesome. 2 week long or month long events, with the massive kill quotas (if we get 5 mil you all get golf clubs!!!)
