[/SPOILER-BOX]
Not much of a surprise; The team seems to be fine with mediocrity in their own work. I suppose they wouldn't want to be shown up by amateurs.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Fuck you that Cast outfit god tier

[preset]

Fuck you that Cast outfit god tier

It's not bad, it just seems massively similar to a certain one from PSP2 which is already in the game.

[Korazenn]

I like the designs for the most part. Especially on the Eclipse weapon.

As for the rest, the only two that stick out as "bleh" to me are the two Bronze winners from the Weapons and Accessories categories. Other than that, I could imagine owning every other item shown here as they are very well-oriented around Phantasy Star Online 2's art style.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

You mean Valgiris?

Which cast can't wear?

[NoiseHERO]

If bronze weapon skin is a knuckle or twin mechgun then whatever, cool.

The outfits: All look like stuff we already have. But I guess the male one isn't horrible... But compared to other outfits. ugh.

The accesories: You're fucking kidding me right...?

[iSolace]

The bronze weapon skin's a TMG.

[Shirai]

The female fleshie costume...god dammit, tired of skirts.

[preset]

You mean Valgiris?

Which cast can't wear?

I meant the one that came with the Vita Special Package. I will admit I'm wrong if it's not Cast parts, but it's still very similar to a costume that already exists (in some form.) In which case, I'd rather see it reconfigured for use as Cast parts than have a place here taken.

[xxmadplayerxx]

The Silver accessory..Seriously? xD

[Cyron Tanryoku]

I see what parts you're talking about

However it still seems to resemble Valgiris a lot more.

[NoiseHERO]

The female fleshie costume...god dammit, tired of skirts.

Only 3 female outfits with proper pants allowed person online game directed at otakus.

Seriously though I really wanted that sleek dark knight armor to win for males/unisex:

[spoiler-box]http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/nominate/image/costume/32_img.jpg
questionable ass-shot is questionable though. but the cape-thingie isn't see-through anyway.[/spoiler-box]

[Lumpen Thingy]

the gold weapon and caseal parts look fucking awesome :D

[Mike]

The Cutie Flower reminds me of one of the Jump collaboration costumes from PSP2.

[yoshiblue]

Awesome, Arm Rappy won. Also, awesome Dreamcast heads and jester hats.

[NoiseHERO]

I'm butthurt.

I wanna punch whoever okay'd that siren hat.

Every horrible memory of every online F2P game weapon/outfit design contest I've ever entered/witnessed is coming back to me.

Why do they all end mediocre.

[Coolhat]

I AM SO ABOUT THOSE CASEAL PARTS YO!

[jooozek]

"riggedlikeaphashionevent"

you are rigged like pso-w

[Enforcer MKV]

Something I liked actually won? /o/

Also: Lol, tags are hilarious.

[blace]

Not too crazed about the siren cap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFlekTyzn68

Meh.

[Project Astral]

I'm actually surprised at the gold costume winner, I rarely see the over-the-top designs win these kind of things. Altogether though the winners weren't to bad imo.

Also the gold winner won't be cast parts since the contest didn't allow that and it will instead be an all-race outfit along with the other two. (Dunno about gender restrictions though)

[Cyron Tanryoku]

That's even better because now I can double lie about my identity
Human?
Cast?

Who knoooows

[Kondibon]

At least none of those rappy/lillipan wired lances won...

[Cyron Tanryoku]

No Dudu weapons though..

[Kondibon]

Personally though I'm fine with the winners though I kinda wish they had separate categories for each outfit type. Unless that male out fit is all race (which I guess it will be) male casts got shafted.

Male Casts got shafted either way, but still...

[Valkyrie Lovrina]

oh yeah, I forgot they didn't allow cast parts to be entered. so I might give the First(and maybe third) place outfits a try. the winners are okay. not what I was hoping for though.

[blace]

They just chose what was easiest, the other weapons and costumes submitted looked pretty detailed for Sega to want to implement.

[TaigaUC]

Expected. Was why I didn't even look at the entries.

[Zyrusticae]

They just chose what was easiest, the other weapons and costumes submitted looked pretty detailed for Sega to want to implement.
Yep, that's exactly right. They picked stuff that would minimize production costs (while not looking too worse for the wear).

But man, there are so many other female outfits I was interested in...

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Yall forget there was an outfit of nothing but ass

THAT would of been minimizing production cost

[Noc Codez]

Anyone else getting that Auron feeling from that male outfit ? I'm loving it but gonna want it in blk/red :)..

[preset]

If you would prefer to not have the male costume ruined, do not look at this:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/NkONgIV.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[HIT0SHI]

Wait hold on, i went to what i believe is the accessory section:

> http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/result/accessory/#resultBox

I really dig the Dreamcast and Sega Saturn helmets and Bandanna, PLEASE tell me this is coming!
i also like the siren lol

[blace]

The lack of male costumes submitted made me overlook the entire costume submissions.

On that note, we get a decent looking outfit for males, but is ruined by the spoiler box above.

[Kondibon]

They just chose what was easiest, the other weapons and costumes submitted looked pretty detailed for Sega to want to implement.

I'm pretty sure that's something they did when deciding which entries would even be voted on. Not when deciding the winners.

[HIT0SHI]

If you would prefer to not have the male costume ruined, do not look at this:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/NkONgIV.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

to late :l

[yoshiblue]

Well, i'm pretty sure the design will be altered. Maybe we will have boots instead?

[blace]

I'm pretty sure that's something they did when deciding which entries would even be voted on. Not when deciding the winners.
Like having a rotating buzz saw as opposed to a static blade? Fair enough.

The top three are the winners, the rest(from my understanding) were considered, but did not make the final list of accessories.

Edit: Looking again, yeah probably will be added in at some point.

[NoiseHERO]

Oh wait we're getting those extra things for the accessories too?

(They still look kinda whack tho)

[Cyron Tanryoku]

I just hope we get multi colors

Like Green

I fucking swear

[Mike]

Edit: Looking again, yeah probably will be added in at some point.
They will be.

アクセサリー部門のみ佳作までの3作品のほかに、入選作品として8作品を選ばせていたただきました。これら はすべてアイテム化を予定しております。

[Noc Codez]

Who thought the siren hat was a good idea?? I see that coming in the form of fun points .. Lol and I agree the boots for the male costume are horrible but ask yourself will you be looking at your characters feet 24/7? Lol

[preset]

.. Lol and I agree the boots for the male costume are horrible but ask yourself will you be looking at your characters feet 24/7? Lol

Maybe it sounds preposterous, but yes. I will be looking at the character, and that includes the feet. The whole, "if you can ignore it, it's not a problem" mentality isn't my kind of thing.

[Noc Codez]

Welp you sir have major metrosexual issues.. Lol joking but it's not going to bother me that much I'll get used to it

[Cyron Tanryoku]

It's impossible not to notice especially with that annoying ass sound they're probably going to carry over from that one female outfit

[Horosha_Onikage]

No one likes the geta on the male outfit? Heh.

Dissapointed that the hood accessory and several of the sword camos didn't make it.

[Rien]

God dammit, the chainsaw sword won?

Fuck there are no proper swords anymore

[landman]

I can't wait to put a Saturn in my Partner's head.

[BlankM]

I really don't like the 3rd choice for weapons and the 3rd choice for costumes. I feel like there were a ton more creative female costumes then that one...and it looks like a mix of panis repca and other costumes we already have/are getting soon...

But mostly I'm sad I don't get to dress my duman in this:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://gyazo.com/a5f4650eef5d6878b0576bafd24f243f.png[/SPOILER-BOX]

I really liked this one...

[Arialle]

the first thing that came to my mind on the siren hat

BEEP BOO BEEP BOO BEEP BOO BEEP BOO BEEP BOO

if u get what i mean.jpeg

[BlankM]

Salty that some kind of Naruto Akatsuki reject won over my teenage angst clothes. Q_Q

[KazukiQZ]

The male outfit....O_O

kling kling kling kling kling kling kling footstep eveytime...

that suck...

[Noc Codez]

Anyone has a link to the entries of the contest would love to see what would if been.

[preset]

Anyone has a link to the entries of the contest? Would love to see what could have been.

[Noc Codez]

Thank you

[Laxedrane]

--> http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/nominate/weapon/

A lot of effort was put into some of those weapons designs. I hope down the road sega taps those resources.

I especially love the beer Glass fist as a joke weapon. Those would of been awesome.

As far as what won, the flower is incrediably more detailed then what we just got but seems redundant now. Then again having the flower as a skin instead of the base wep well be helpful to my over all char design.(I've been wanting okarod since this game came out. That rod so awesome.:D)

The Chainsaw...thing Never been my style, so obviously there's other I would of liked better but eh. I'll take the flower :3

The male outfit fun, I wonder if they'll keep the creator image of having a "rest" mode and a "Combat" mode. It be the first outfit to do it as far as I know. Should be interesting.

That female cast is just awesome, the female regular... seems kind of bland and over done and just average compared to the other two winning outfits. Meh oh well.

[yunamon]

Piposaru soon w

[Kilich]

I like the all race gold costume. I'll probably wear it.

[Variant]

Not a single Dudu thing won. I am disappoint Sega. That Dudu rifle that shot out meseta was like the best thing.

[oratank]

beer glass was awesome (´;ω;`)

[BIG OLAF]

The Gold weapon is gonna go for like a gajillion meseta.

EDIT: Also, all of the winning outfits are dookie. Especially the Bronze one. Moar loli sh1t

[hoangsea]

are they gonna add those in game ?

[Renette]

I'm not a fan of any of the winning entries, either.

[Hrith]

Camouflage for weapon types that already have many / did not need more.

Incredigly ugly outfits.

Completely retarded accessories, not one looks cool.

I guess OP is right on the dot, SEGA has picked the worst they could find so their own crappy work passes more easily.

[Z-0]

are they gonna add those in game ?
Yes, they are all being distributed in an AC Scratch (I am assuming the second one in September).

Personally I'm just miffed they lumped every single costume together, that was really stupid of them. There were some rappies I wouldn't have minded, and only 1 male costume (which fucking sucks I might add) made it through...

[Punisher106]

Damn, I wanted the Dudu rifle to get some recognition. I don't understand that bronze weapon. Is it supposed to be like some sort of psychic wired lance, or something? The finger pointing would suggest it's not knuckles. Of course, fucking caseals would get gold. The silver outfit kinda looks a bit, oh, how can I say this? Androgynous? But I guess it's because of the posing in that concept art. Even with that... tail... thing... I might be interested in that, anyway. Don't like the obnoxious covering the other one does. As for accessories, Ehh... MAYBE the clinging Rappy would be interesting, if it's going to be made.

[gigawuts]

Didn't read thread. No time. Too urgent.

Is the OP saying gamecube and dreamcast helmets won?

I NEED TO KNOW THIS.

[preset]

Yes.
> gigawuts

Or at least the Dreamcast and Saturn.



I don't understand that bronze weapon. Is it supposed to be like some sort of psychic wired lance, or something?

It's a mechgun (TMG.)

[gigawuts]

Oh, that's not a gamecube? I thought it looked a bit...redone...

Meh.

Now nothing's good anymore.

edit: That's a joke btw, plenty of that looks neat. At least one kind of neat sword was chosen, and hopefully they take the liberty of making those caseal parts.

[Ce'Nedra]

I wish that Dark Emperor sword won, that looked rather cool to me and I would love to swing that around. Not really fond of anything that won sadly, but hey it might fetch a nice price if I scratch some of it and then sell it 8D

[Natsu Nem]

I'M SO HYPED FOR THE SIREN

I always wanted to grow up to become a Gilnach

[Z-0]

edit: That's a joke btw, plenty of that looks neat. At least one kind of neat sword was chosen, and hopefully they take the liberty of making those caseal parts.
It's say in the bottom right it's an all-race costume, so I don't think so.

[SakoHaruo]

[SPOILER-BOX]http://gyazo.com/a5f4650eef5d6878b0576bafd24f243f.png[/SPOILER-BOX]

I really liked this one...

what the hell is wrong with the PSO2 community? how did this outfit lose to generic short skirt?

[gigawuts]

Because it's a disgusting loli and nobody wants to see th-wait we're talking about japan. That's a good question, actually.

[Ce'Nedra]

Go home Japan, you are drunk?

On a serious note I'm really confused with the winners. also that outfit BlankM posted is rather cool if you ask me, loli or not.

[jooozek]

huh
did i somehow miss a vote for all that shit?

[Shadowth117]

I guess I'm not surprised by the weapon choices, but it would have really been nice to have seen more since there were more accessories picked too. And the accessories were the category on the website with the LEAST entries shown. I AM really glad Eclipse won since it looked cool as hell and the guy clearly put a lot of work into it.

Probably should have been more with costumes though, especially since they didn't separate categories in the end.

[Z-0]

From what I understand the team picked amongst themselves, there was no vote.

[o0Kais0o]

Disappointment reigns again. So many good entries, none of which made it. Sadface for mediocrity.

[Link1275]

Let's face it, they just randomly drew entries from a hat.

[KazukiQZ]

^maybe they use RNG too?.....O_O

[CloudChaser]

Wow JP, I never thought you would continue your tradition buzzkilling all of us... Why am I suprised?

[Crysteon]

Let's face it, they just randomly drew entries from a hat.

Oh god....RNG is everywhere.

I'm starting to question their taste for designs, tbh.

[Rien]

Their comment on the female armor costume:

"It would be too difficult to make what is depicted as the entire costume, so it will be separated into costume + accessories."

[Z-0]

Their comment on the female armor costume:

That's actually how I wanted it, nice.

[moeri]

And due to the number of submissions, a further 8 are commissioned:

This means... we are getting these things right?

http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/result/image/accessory/07_thumb.jpg

Also, silver accessory is great. If nothing else I personally like the teams willingness to implement a silly item like that.

[preset]

This means... we are getting these things right?

Yes. All 8 plus the gold/silver/bronze.

[Jaqlou Swig KING]

This is literally all I wanted.

http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/nominate/image/accessory/41_img.jpg

Instead, we get 2 rappies (so funnyXDwhataboutlisa), a siren, and a fucking dog bone? Lmfao

[Shadowth117]

The thing is, they chose a wide variety of types of items rather than choosing some of the better ones. To some degree I understand why they went with what they did, but they really should have had a community voting panel or something as well to account for this. The lack of one for something like this rather dumb to me.

[EvilMag]

So you mean to say this item design contest was as rigged as the PSOW fashion contests?

COOL

[Gardios]

oh look a shitty male costume

I totally did not see that coming at all

At least I get the Rappy arm plush. x:

[The Walrus]

Oh my god best caseal design won :D

[Freshellent]

Ogre Horns. Fuckin' awesome.

[Vintasticvin]

The female fleshie costume...god dammit, tired of skirts.

But your character would look ridiculously cute in it.

@topic I for one am liking the winning products cept for that bone in the mouth then again it might be linked to a japanese joke or comedy bit I'm unaware of, the angelic palm laser thing has me puzzled although it does look really cool and would apply it to the equipable weapon in my possesion, as for costumes I have no complaints but do hope the male costume retains it morphing properties because that would not only be unique but exclusive to them as well as a one of a kind if not first of its kind outfit.


That siren is a must for all casts regardless of gender =]

[Korazenn]

http://pso2.jp/players/event/1st_anniversary/itemdesigncontest2013/result/image/accessory/08_thumb.jpg

FUCK YES I CAN FINALLY MAKE SHINOBI

Wait a minute, this is coming into the game!? Just in time for my secondary character! ^^

[Korazenn]

This reminded me that they should definitely boost the amount of wearable accessories from 3 to 6.

Eh. Six is too much for my tastes, and I think that having three is the perfect balance, but I would definitely prefer team accessories to get their own slot.

[gigawuts]

This reminded me that they should definitely boost the amount of wearable accessories from 3 to 6.

ok, how about this?

new accessory slots for 500 ac each, up to 30 slots available!

I eagerly await our graphics-card-crashing credit-card-maxing overlords

[Emp]

OMG dat rod and female dress outfit. Just perfect!

[Shinamori]

What's the 3rd weapon camo? TMGs?

[Kamekur]

EDIT2:Thank you internet for double-posting this.

[Shinamori]

http://blog.pinkpump.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/1362219725_too_many_accessories.jpg

Seems to work for me.

[Z-0]

3rd weapon is TMGs.

Also about the male costume, only the light version is making it in (the combat version), according to the comment below.

[Sandmind]

Ogre Horns. Fuckin' awesome.

This. So much this. Only reason I was even remotly interested in that 3rd outfit to make it (the dress is cute and all, but there was sooooo much better).

Also glad the caseal like outfit won and ... no comment on 2nd outfit. And I guess the ninja headband and hugging rappy might be fun to have around.

[BIG OLAF]

Eh. Six is too much for my tastes, and I think that having three is the perfect balance, but I would definitely prefer team accessories to get their own slot.

mmmmm no I'd say 4-5 would be. Three isn't enough for people who snatch a lot of accessories up, but six is too much, I'll agree.

[untrustful]

They probably ignored other entries for the reason that they're too similar to what's coming up in the future of pso2, which could last as long as 10 years.

[Cyclon]

Ow, I thought the eclipse was a launcher when I first saw it. I looked forward to riding that thing.

Meh.

[Shadowth117]

Ow, I thought the eclipse was a launcher when I first saw it. I looked forward to riding that thing.

Meh.

Ride Slasher feels forgotten ;_;

[Cyclon]

Ride Slasher feels forgotten ;_;It's not. I meant motorcycle style. Swords can't do that.

... dunno, it has a motorcycle feel to me.

[ArcaneTechs]

That Dudu Rifle should have made it in instead of that Sword (there were better looking swords)

Literally the best gag weapon hands down, i wanna shoot all the meseta i ever lost to him at my enemies

[Noc Codez]

3rd weapon is TMGs.

Also about the male costume, only the light version is making it in (the combat version), according to the comment below.

Really ? I was looking forward to the whole Auron look.. Now I don't even want it.. :(

[Laxedrane]

When will this outfits and weapons cameos be available?

[Zorua]

I just realised that the gold costume is going to be a all-race costume, meaning my caseal can't hover while wearing it...

[HIT0SHI]

Ignore this post.

[Amaranthus]

Seems like steampunk was too much to ask... at the very least the fleshie outfit has nice colour. ^^

Also grats to caseals getting some love... however, RIP CASTS!

*edit: also looking forward to that spinning siren light thingy or whatever its called. Haha, priceless!
Hope the scope of the light is decent if not huuge. 83

[Chik'Tikka]

Fuck you that Cast outfit god tier

i doan see any Cast outfits in that lineup...... that first one has no arm/leg joints, obviously a fleshy outfit+^_^+ still that head accessory+^_^+ must has+^_^+

[Aussei]

Awww come on.... SEGA has no taste in male outfits. My poor fiance is dying for some bad ass outfits. I also have a male character and support partners that're thirsty as fuck for some dope costumes.

[Korazenn]

Especially when it comes to Male Cast Parts... :'(
