Information about a new feature (element) which will be introduce in "Reborn: EPISODE4"

I hope this means they're revamping the element system.

[AmanoMai]

I hope this means they're revamping the element system.

inb4 you're forced to have rainbow 13* on every weapon

or it could be just a pet thing:-?

[Saagonsa]

It's not that kind of element. As far as I know there's no reason to think it's gonna be about the elemental weakness system.

[Kondibon]

As far as I know there's no reason to think it's gonna be about the elemental weakness system.You're absolutely right. Which is why I said "I hope". I'm not expecting anything. Heck it could just be an "element" of gameplay so eh.

[wefwq]

Thank god it's not unnecessary long this time.

[ZER0 DX]

Oh right, here's hoping the prices on item codes go down. Can't even buy the Festa clothes in player shops for some reason, so it's literally $30 to get this stuff. Absolutely ridiculous to get locked out of clothing for being unable to attend a venue when this wasn't a problem for previous outfits.

[Ordy]

Absolutely ridiculous to get locked out of clothing for being unable to attend a venue when this wasn't a problem for previous outfits.

The 2015 Festa clothes are bound to account on code use. Why is it "absolutely ridiculous" to lock code items to attendants? Many companies do it to attract people to their events, to me it's nothing more than than a smart marketing strategy.

Do you remember the last event, with people exploiting the code distribution at the event and selling for 300m worth of costumes and tickets? Yeah, well I'd rather not be able to purchase a costume at all, than seeing people getting 50 or more free millions just for attending a PSO2 event.

[TaigaUC]

Oh, so that's why they locked them. Didn't think of that.
I knew people were exploiting the code distribution though.

New informations and Goods of PSO2 The Animation




This reminds me of Sunrise that makes mecha anime just to sell new gunplas.

[final_attack]

I'm ... interested in that new feature, "Element" ...... maybe a way to upgrade weapon's ele without spending so much on +5% EleBooster? :o

[sesiom000]

This reminds me of Sunrise that makes *Epic Gundam animes just to sell new *Epic gunplas.

There i corrected it for you!

[Rakurai]

It would be really great if they were redoing the element system so you didn't need to get multiples of a weapon to make it worth using, nor get tons of element boosters.

Though with how all the stone exchange shops are designed around the mechanic, I kind of doubt it.

[sparab]

As I hope some change to the current element system

This new "element" to be shown has nothing to do with the one on your weapons

[AmanoMai]

It would be really great if they were redoing the element system so you didn't need to get multiples of a weapon to make it worth using, nor get tons of element boosters.


that's actually only limited to Fo and weakstance users really

[Z-0]

Getting multiples of every weapon is how it's always been in PSO and PSU, needing multiple copies of everything to get good damage on everything in the game.

No real difference here, I just think there needs to be less reliance on elemental boosters. Austere is probably the biggest culprit of this, since you can't just "hunt" another and get it in a couple of days, gotta wait until you're able to hit up the relevant EQs.

[Manta Oyamada]

:-o:-o:-o

[Poyonche]

Come on and try, Live Broadcast !

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

that's actually only limited to Fo and weakstance users really

You forgot-

Bo mains/subs: elemental stance
Te mains/subs: element weak hit

In this convo's case, weak stance users are pretty much the tech users. It only applies to ranged, and melee attacks to weak points otherwise.

[Poyonche]

And the upcoming Pet Elemental Weak Hit :wacko:

Oh wait aren't those getting candies that change their element ?

[KLMS1]

You forgot-

Bo mains/subs: elemental stance

Except if they're on JBs because lolswitcheroos.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Except if they're on JBs because lolswitcheroos.

And that's the only exception for ele stance while all other weapons just have to deal with it, and the fact break SD bonus is still designed like shit doesn't help.

[Xaelouse]

http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/199/1199133/

Some interesting tidbits:

Summoner pets confirmed not having a JA. Reason: It's a "beginner" class.
One More Jump has no limit as long as you hit the enemy with the jump while there's gear
Charge Parrying can reach a window surpassing 0.5sec at 5 points
Katana Gear Boost gives 1.5 more gear gain at max?
Tech Arts JA PP gives 10% reduction for FI weapons and 5% for everything else at 1 point (5 point max)
Not much else interesting besides the potentials per new 13* series

[KLMS1]

Summoner pets confirmed not having a JA. Reason: It's a "beginner" class.

You'd think there was every reason to teach beginners most of all about JAs, but I guess Sega moves in mysterious ways... ʅ ( • ε • ) ʃ

[arkeido]

There goes the 1.3x multiplier... :no:

And Io not getting new costume, thanks sega.

[Perfect Chaos]

One More Jump has no limit as long as you hit the enemy with the jump while there's gear
I was hoping that this was the case. Even more like Mario!

[Poyonche]

On the picture where the Summoner fight the Quartz Dragon we can see that a stance is active, I hope this mean that pets are affected by stances.

[sesiom000]

Charge Parrying can reach a window surpassing 0.5sec at 5 points




How does this exactly work? Like i can block while im charging a PA cancelling it or will it autoblock incoming attacks and still use the PA?

Because Ignite Parrying its one of the worst PA on PSO2 because of the low damage and very hard timing to just guard with it...

[LonelyGaruga]

Autoblock isn't quite the right word for it, but that's basically what it does yes. During the time frame you begin charging, you'll block attacks.

And Ignite Parrying is actually an excellent PA, provided you actually, y'know, block with it. Doubled damage, +10 PP regen from Just Guard PP Gain, a significant speed improvement, and you turn invincible during the PA.

[Kondibon]

Because Ignite Parrying its one of the worst PA on PSO2 because of the low damage and very hard timing to just guard with it...The implication seems to be that charged PAs get just guard frames at some point while charging. Pretty sure you can guard cancel pretty much any PA charging already.

[sesiom000]

Thanks for the quick response.

Well i will have to think about that new skill!
Problem i have with the ignite PA its that you flinch if you fail to block while using it and you have to be totally relying on the enemy attacks to cause some damage making it easier to just do OE since you dont flinch and deal maximum damage already and it has super range.

[sesiom000]

The implication seems to be that charged PAs get just guard frames at some point while charging. Pretty sure you can guard cancel pretty much any PA charging already.

I see its like the ignite parrying Just Guard but in those old PA´s, but if you have to use skill points to activate that ability i wont probably bother with it since might as well Just Guard it the old way and save up skill points for something more important.

Thanks for the info!

[LonelyGaruga]

Well the thing about Charge Parrying is that it means you don't have to stop charging to block. So let's say you wanted to Ride Slasher a boss to build gear or something, you could start up the charge for Ride Slasher by deliberately blocking an attack by using Charge Parrying, then attack the boss with it. Without Charge Parrying, you would have to block normally and then start the PA over, which costs time and PP.

You could also use it to block enemy attacks while mobbing with Nova Strike and other uses. The best part is that it should work with Just Guard PP Gain, so every time you block with this you'd get 10 PP back.

[ThePageofHeart]

*grabs popcorn* I'm ready to see the salt coming for this Live Broadcast.

[final_attack]

Oh, btw, It's the schedule for today.

Taken from official PSO2 Twitter (https://twitter.com/sega_pso2/status/688538548706750464)

I think the one in yellow is information info :o

Just in case you don't want to watch the entire thing.

[Tankotron]

Aaaaaaah I hate timezones. Why it gotta show during Genesis3.

[Kondibon]

Just pointing out that they showed the JBs being used to climb a boss. I REALLY don't think one more jump is going to be useless...

[KazukiQZ]

^Infinite Jump, it seems owo

[DrCatco]

^Infinite Jump, it seems owo

Climbing Magatsu will be a reality :D

I think I also heard it's main class only :o

Thanks as always to firesword for the restream and the thread creator!

[final_attack]

Seems like the ☆１３ pot will be
Above 30% PP = damage up.

[Tunga]

One M jump looks to be kinda useful on maggy i guess. Still not gonna waste a SP on it. Also phantoms are all weak to wind from the looks of it. I'm not using my Bo or Fo for this so... Hu master race. Also that 13* katana looks like a modified 1* lol. You got a white & black metapod, A tooth with purple hair, vanilla and chocolate drill shaped lollipops and now that. Sega are allergic to good looking 13* katanas i guess lol.

[Aine]

13-star pots:

Quartz series (talis, wand, boots) - Increased PP regen on attack, plus damage bonus when above 30% PP
Earth?/realistic series (TMG, dagger, katana) - 6% damage increase, plus an additional 10% damage increase on criticals (RIP Austere)
Seiga series (sword, launcher) - HP regeneration over time, plus 11% damage increase

[final_attack]

Earth?/realistic series (TMG, dagger, katana) - 6% damage increase, plus an additional 10% damage increase on criticals (RIP Austere)

MY MOONEEEEEY ;A;

[DrCatco]

Mutation II??'?

[Aine]

Mutation II drops from the named Diabo (only in Valentine EQ)

Gives a bonus when making Stat IV from Stat III

You can also make Mut II from Mut I, but it's 50% with five Mut I fodders

[nephie]

13-star pots:
Earth?/realistic series (TMG, dagger, katana) - 6% damage increase, plus an additional 10% damage increase on criticals (RIP Austere)


isn't the 6% increase only apply on weak spot?

[Aine]

Might be, I wasn't really listening closely

[Flaoc]

meh not getting any of those new 13*

[Tunga]

Earth?/realistic series (TMG, dagger, katana) - 6% damage increase, plus an additional 10% damage increase on criticals (RIP Austere)



Seiga series (sword, launcher) - HP regeneration over time, plus 11% damage increase
Is the atk value high for these? If so the sega just handed out free salt to austere users.

[Kondibon]

One M jump looks to be kinda useful on maggy i guess. Still not gonna waste a SP on it. What else are you gonna waste 1 SP on? Heal share?

[Goukezitsu]

Valentines update:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FCpZoEu0SI

[Xaeris]

So, that scene at the end of the trailer. Pretty sure that's Itsuki, which lends some serious credence to that theory going around regarding the anime.

[Tunga]

I have no spare sp :-(

[nephie]

Might be, I wasn't really listening closely

I'm not so sure about that also, as I was multitasking

they said the parameter is lower than austere, and the potential is also more limited than austere... but it might be good for certain build

[Selphea]

Did they mention something about some kind of Soul gattai involving Vol Soul and Vardha Soul and some other stuff I couldn't catch?

[cheapgunner]

Can't remember the theory. Care to enlighten me?:p

[nephie]

Did they mention something about some kind of Soul gattai involving Vol Soul and Vardha Soul and some other stuff I couldn't catch?

basically the new soul from tokyo can be fused with the current big bosses soul (but not the mid bosses)? something like the current darkness soul

[Flaoc]

oh great another useless astral soul type thing? unless they learned from their mistakes and didnt make the rates so awful

[Aine]

You combine them to make the R-ATK+35 PP+3 soul, more evidence that Amduscia Ult was scrapped.

[Flaoc]

seems really annoying honestly.. could have just given train ghidoran the soul instead. dont need more of this astral style crap

[Xaeris]

Can't remember the theory. Care to enlighten me?:p

The theory goes that PSO2, the game as it appears in the anime, is used as some kind of scouting/training tool by Oracle to recruit new members from Earth. Itsuki's voiceover accompanies what looks like his avatar coming out of a pod, so it's possible that he gets transferred to the Oracle for real at the end of the anime and Episode 4 picks up from there.

[Xaelouse]

Why do people say Ult Amduscia is scrapped when it's the perfect way to introduce 14*

That's clearly our beloved MC from EP1: Ash (own character when it's released)

[LonelyGaruga]

Why do people say Ult Amduscia is scrapped when it's the perfect way to introduce 14*

People say that because it's been in the data for so long but has gone unused so far.

It actually has every enemy it needs programmed in so I'm pretty sure it's just a timing thing. We'll probably get hybrid Ultimate souls from Ultimate Amduscia or something. It's also unlikely to get 14*s simply by being too early to add them imo.

Yeah, I think you're right. Rushed to judgment, I guess, since the Earthling stuff preceded the pod scene.

[ThePageofHeart]

I think if I heard correctly during the gameplay portion, it was confirmed Summoners can use Compound Techniques

[Meteor Weapon]

Took me a while that Train Ghidoran isn't the Free Exploration Boss.

[ThePageofHeart]

The Item Tekker lady got moved over to the station where that dude sells you the lv. 1 PA/Tech Discs to make room for the Candy Lab lady.

[ThePageofHeart]

AHAHAHAHHAHA WE DWELLED INTO MH TERRITORY FOLKS XD

[Touka]

Gathering and fishing,we Final Fantasy 14.

[Poyonche]

Those rings. :0

[ContinuumXIX]

That was unexpected o.o EP4 is full of surprises lol

[TaigaUC]

Franca's Cafe is now probably the thing I'm most excited about episode 4.

We finally get to see chef Franka actually be a chef now lol

[Aine]

more shit to level up

[Touka]

Guess it gives you something else to do while waiting for eqs doe.

[Meteor Weapon]

Plus, they seemed to have improved their direction in action cut-scenes from that one trailer.

[KuroNeko77]

Franca's Cafe is now probably the thing I'm most excited about episode 4.

Pretty much this. I've been joking for a while about her opening a restaurant with all the crap we gathered for her, and that's finally a thing:) .

[ThePageofHeart]

I'm proud of Franka for finally fulfilling her dream as a chef and obtaining her own cafe. ; w;7

[Nyansan]

I'm proud of Franka for finally fulfilling her dream as a chef and obtaining her own cafe. ; w;7

Then you remember all the weird crap you've gathered for her, and that she's now cooking that in her cafe
But jokes aside, hyped for Franca's cafe and the gathering feature

[ThePageofHeart]

At least I have the satisfaction of helping the poor girl with her dream. ; w;

[wefwq]

The entire franka cafe thing are quite unexpected, it's really nice to see your average NPC lobby got some "upgrades" and got it's role expanded.

Those fishing and ore mining looks quite comfy, though it depend on how it implemented.
I'll hate it forever if they baiting those stuff to make people hogging the new feature by placing must-have stuff as icing.

[Meteor Weapon]

Rip Mae

[Touka]

Seems like you could fish garbage out of the Tokyo water,inb4 rng rears it's ugly head again.

[final_attack]

Those Rings ...... from the SS on Twitter (https://twitter.com/kurenai_ship4/status/688643374610448384), I think I saw "Front S Roll".

From the SS :

- L/JG SonicArrow
- L/JG HFall (HeavenlyFall?)
- L/JG RFlag (RisingFlag or what's the Partizan PA name?)
- L/DS Kamaitachi
- L/TD AirChase
- L/KnuckleChase
- L/FrontSRoll
- L/Ka GearGRelease (Katana?)
- L/DB Snatch

[Shinamori]

So, I guess they boost PAs and Skills?

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Too bad character creator isnt coming out prior to ep4. Oh well :o

[final_attack]

Seems likely.

I saw a post on Twitter (https://twitter.com/kanipan1217/status/688646542610149376) that the R one got KillingBonus on it.

[wefwq]

I'm already feeling all those item that will hog storage even more...
- eggs
- sweets
- ores
- fish
- possibly some kind of items that needed to perform gather actions (pickaxe? backpack?)
- rings

[Flaoc]

its ok we got a lot more storage now

[vaerix]

I'm a little worried, but hey, more equipment.

[Xaeris]

Diabo and Facillity Rodos at the same time? I did not ask for this.

On a more serious note, I'm happy that Sega is trying something different. I find it the addition of traditional gathering and crafting to this action RPG somewhat intimidating, and I'm not entirely convinced that I'm going to love it. But, if Sakai really wants this game to last ten years, this is the sort of mixing things up that I'd want to see, for better or for worse. Hopefully for better. But man, I had that extra storage space earmarked for clothes...

[NoiseHERO]

Wait excuse me?

If this means kingdom hearts homing melee air combos then daggers might actually be fun.

This picture is WRONG ! Hucaseal can't use Spread Needle ! :v

Those camos cost 350 Gold Badge 2016 holy shit.

[landman]

Have they announced the AC prices for that character storage expand from 300 to 1000?

[Rehal]

Have they announced the AC prices for that character storage expand from 300 to 1000?

No but Ichitaro ninja'd that for us:

http://puu.sh/myTPC/8ffa539619.jpg

800 AC for a +50 ticket.
So you need 11k+ AC to expand from 300 to 1000?

[Ryziou]

No but Ichitaro ninja'd that for us:

http://puu.sh/myTPC/8ffa539619.jpg

800 AC for a +50 ticket.
So you need 11k+ AC to expand from 300 to 1000?

lmao that's absurd.

[Shadowth117]

lmao that's absurd.

Its a fair bit, but its the trade off of buying permanemt storage slots over renting premium storages out.

On a side note, Ichitaro is a bro.

[landman]

It's still cheaper than personal storage where +50 = 1600AC, and I will provably expand that to 150 before starting to expand the 300-1000 one.

[Rakurai]

I'm glad we're finally getting a non-EQ quest that spawns multiple large bosses not named Banther or Leopard simultaneously. I never understood the restriction in the first place.


Wait excuse me?

If this means kingdom hearts homing melee air combos then daggers might actually be fun.

Judging from the past usage of the word "chase" in skill names, I assume it probably just increases damage while airborne.

[kurokyosuke]

It's likely going to be cheaper with a pack, anyway.

[Kondibon]

This is just a small thing, but why do batons not have their own casting animation for techs? 3:

[Vatallus]

So how many afkers did everyone come across during the boosted Demise?

[kazuuya]

Franca's Cafe is now probably the thing I'm most excited about episode 4.

I feel exactly the same! The peaceful and nice music was great as well. Totally looking forward to her café as a chilling place for my friends and me when we don't feel like doing anything big after dailies or waiting for EQ's to come by.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Judging from the past usage of the word "chase" in skill names, I assume it probably just increases damage while airborne.

I believe it's because bosses when brought together can fight each other if they have no hate against players. It used to be a segment on the live broadcasts, but they haven't used it in a long time so that's probably why they removed it.

[Kondibon]

I'm glad we're finally getting a non-EQ quest that spawns multiple large bosses not named Banther or Leopard simultaneously. I never understood the restriction in the first place.It used to be possible but they changed it for some reason after the alphas. Maybe people thought it was too hard (remember, this was back when vol dragon and ragne were actually scary)? It's certainly not a mechanical issue though.


I believe it's because bosses when brought together can fight each other if they have no hate against players. It used to be a segment on the live broadcasts, but they haven't used it in a long time so that's probably why they removed it.Enemies only fight eachother if they're not on the same "side". I don't remember what bosses they had fight in those, but I can't imagine it would be too hard to tweak just for the livestream builds or something though.

[sesiom000]

All looks good until you realize that Type 6 graphics will only come in April 20...
April 20...What the fuck?
And whats with releasing character creator demo after one month of EP4 WHAT??

[Kondibon]

All looks good until you realize that Type 6 graphics will only come in April 20...
April 20...What the fuck?
And whats with releasing character creator demo after one month of EP4 WHAT??That's honestly earlier than I thought... so...

[Selphea]

It takes a lot of time to wrap all those textures in Cling Wrap™ you know!

[Sacrificial]

So...I can relive the old runescape powermining in pso? GREAT!

[Neith]

Didn't think the PS4 version would be too long after Ep4 launch so April is surprising / disappointing.

Gathering looks interesting, hopefully it's actually worth doing and not something that'll die off a week after release (lolcasino).

Summoner still doesn't interest me in the slightest so I'll probably use the new character slot for an existing class.

[cheapgunner]

Gonna use the new char for summoner. Depends on how the class is that I level it up for other characters. The fishing and mining looks neat. Def. gonna try it out.

[Dycize]

The food gathering is used to buy the food at the Franka Cafe (we can see that 10 Tomatoes = 1 Salad).
The mined ores are used to buy the rings (like, 10 nabelight + 1 nabejist = L/JG Sonic Arrow ring).
I think it's interesting that rings are locked onto L(eft/R(ight) slots.
Considering that the rings not only can be grinded (since the character seen equips rings in their +1 version) but they also have an exp bar like pets, mining ores is very likely going to not be entirely forgotten for a bit.
Yeah, the Franka Cafe update really came outta nowhere, but it looks pretty good!

[sesiom000]

Information about a new feature (element) which will be introduce in "Reborn: EP4


So did they say what is this element feature?
Is it the gathering or perhaps the rings?

[Kondibon]

So did they say what is this element feature?
Is it the gathering or perhaps the rings?That's the only thing that hadn't been talked about at all before so I assume so.

[LonelyGaruga]

Enemies only fight eachother if they're not on the same "side". I don't remember what bosses they had fight in those, but I can't imagine it would be too hard to tweak just for the livestream builds or something though.

Darkers (+ Kuronians) vs. everything else. The livestreams were always darker(s) vs planet native(s).

The multiple large boss restriction has more to do with how E-codes work than anything else. It's like how you can't ever have two airship defense codes. Codes of the same "type" can't occur at the same time.

That's the only thing that hadn't been talked about at all before so I assume so.

If thats the case that´s some big name for something so simple as gathering and fishing shrimps LOL.

[Kondibon]

The multiple large boss restriction has more to do with how E-codes work than anything else. It's like how you can't ever have two airship defense codes. Codes of the same "type" can't occur at the same time.Only because they don't let them anymore.

If thats the case that´s some big name for something so simple as gathering and fishing shrimps LOL.I dunno, those rings seem like they'll be pretty interesting. Can't wait for people to start being anal about those like they are with affixes.

[Dycize]

Yeah, rings sound pretty cool.
I mean, a ring with Killing Bonus? Even at level 1, that's nice and handy for mobbing. And the fact there's a level at all means it's likely to get stronger.
I do wonder how they'll work as far as leveling them is concerned. Will we feed them other rings? That's gonna be some gathering grind if that's right!
Left side rings sound more situational, but have stats on them. Stuff like those JG PA rings and TD air chase (probably aerial advance for TDs). The only right side ring we can see is the Killing Bonus one, and it only has the skill on it.

Also if that hasn't been mentionned, gathering involves a 100/100 stamina gauge, with 3 actions possible. All actions eat 10 stamina points. 1st action is the standard gathering and can be used as much as we can. The other 2 require special pickaxes/fishing rods for each action, not sure what those do.
Also the one where they gather a tomato with their pickaxe shows a "3 hits left" counter before the character starts gathering.
Sounds like a pretty simple system, so, yeah.

who the fuck is Henri seriously

[yoshiblue]

He was one of the wondering NPCs removed in a lobby update.

[Kondibon]

who the fuck is Henri seriouslyA random npc that used to walk around the second floor of the shop area of the lobby, often bugging out and ending up on the first floor. He vanished after the lobby was revamped. He's in the cafe trailer, and you could hear people cheering when he was shown, even though he's technically not important.

If you've played GW2 or poked around the fandom a while I guess he's kinda like the "By Ogden's Hammer! What savings!" guy that used to be in lion's arch. Just a random npc people grew a bit attached to.

I hated him for a bit because there was a time where the story patch would trap you in a convo with the unimportant NPCs if you talked to them, and you'd have to restart your client to get out of it. Henry was one of them, and just happened to hang around outside of the elevators of the shopping area, so more often than not, I had to restart my game if I held down the E key for a split second too long.

Someone is eating their hat about now I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure anyone who quit over anime and some candy getting in the game wouldn't like a cafe either.

[cheapgunner]

So you can have 2 rings right (left and a right one?)?

With this fishing and mining stuff added in, we've got another way to boost our chars and then there's Summoner's lv 75 cap boost for your account also to be included if anyone dares to reach that.

[lostinseganet]

Something I did not notice until now but all summoners do not have mags. Is that a mag on their butts?

[Rakurai]

The gathering system creating an incentive to explore maps outside of triggering more ETs is welcome.

Making materials exclusive to some of the special maps like the Darker's Den or Mothership would also get people to play their respective EQs more.

For that matter, I'm kind of disappointed we never got go to Double's universe for any EQ/LQs (I suppose an easy way of knowing whether or not they ever intended for that to happen is checking if there's a PSE burst variation of the BGM there).

[KLMS1]

[Anduril]

The thing on the butt is part of the Baton. I was going to chalk it up to them just not normally showing mags in trailers, but you're right, even in the LQ and EQ trailer, the SU doesn't have a mag even though everyone else does.

[Kondibon]

Maybe they added an option to hide mags like you can hide units.

Yes there is a pse burst version of that music, someone published all the variant of the battle BGM months ago (it was shortly before the Story quest was released) on a YT video but not all the instruments were playing (mostly without the violin and percussions), then it went as a private video (2 days after i think) and became no longer accessible :-?

[TaigaUC]

I hope they don't add materials to time-important EQs.
It'd be pretty annoying seeing everyone stop attacking PD to mine or fish or something.
Not to mention ridiculous.

The other thing is, I hope they're not so stupid as to make it so material sources are first come first served.

[Tenlade]

I can imagine it now.

The last material you need for your ring is in the darker den. there's no gather points in the story mission.

are people actually liking the whole "multiple large boss" thing?

I only see it as making the fights even more of a cluster fuck than it's already is

apparently Sega's idea of "new" is to add more 3D models and effects on top of each other
"oh you're getting bored of current contents? let's us add more enemies at the same time for you to fight"
continue on this trend we'll see "12 diabo on a tiny corridor" contents sometimes next year

I feels like it's gonna be terrible, gameplay wise, is it just me?

I didn't like the Harukotan huge enemies. They just seem like a pain to deal with.
Not just gameplay wise but camera wise. Maybe it's just me.

[wefwq]

With addition of gathering spot, i hope that it only restricted to some "new" quest, where those spot available, but don't have enemy or trial code spawn, or just limit them into free exploration quest.
Kinda stupid thinking about running some urban EQs and then everyone proceed to the nearby body of water to fish some boots and garbage cans.

Still look better than current UI color palette for some reason.

Yeah, having bunch of them around really are pain in the arse, especially when coupled with ganna-gam brothers, since they're huge AND floating.

[Totori]

They should just add more color schemes for our UI. That blue is nice, but a green would rock.

[Rayden]

Something I did not notice until now but all summoners do not have mags.

I don't think that means much. They just didn't have mags equipped, is all. They aren't going to make mags unavailable for a single class, and there wouldn't be any point to Summoner's Photon Blast Advance skill if they did.

[Poyonche]

I Just noticed that Jet boots PA icons are yellow in the trailers.

From another topic:

Mag will disappear if you have pet out, you can probably still use PB as Su skill tree has PB Advance. Some people in the stream had their PB filled too.

[Rayden]

I Just noticed that Jet boots PA icons are yellow in the trailers.

Where are you seeing that? And what would it mean? Yellow like crafted PAs?

[Kondibon]

Where are you seeing that? And what would it mean? Yellow like crafted PAs?
They're just yellow, I don't think it means anything other than possibly clarifying that they're based off T-atk. Pet PAs are the same color.

You can see them in the skill section of the big trailer. https://youtu.be/qRyvsg8SmLs?t=2m4s

Yeah, it's called premium subscription.
Could be really nice if they upped the default cap to 30, while making premium member can hold up to 50 COs at the same time.

[ZER0 DX]

Need an update to the number of COs we can hold. A CO or two that boosts the number from 20->30 or so. Would be wonderful...

You can already expand it to 40 with premium, and then to 60 with a CO expansion on top of it.

And yet, I wouldn't mind something to increase it to 80 or 100 even. Stockpiling daily CO's to turn in on Summoner is a bit taxing on those 60 slots.

Meant basic upped by 10. premium upping by 20 still stands but didnt know u could add another 20 by AC (kinda BS to me but meh).:p

[ZER0 DX]

Meant basic upped by 10. premium upping by 20 still stands but didnt know u could add another 20 by AC (kinda BS to me but meh).:p

I think it's 300 AC for 30 day expansion (which the game tries to make you buy if you attempt to accept a CO while you're maxed out) and 800 for 90 day. So it's not too bad, less than 8 bucks for 3 months of being able to hold 60 CO's is pretty nice for getting stuff done on alts since it's account-wide.

On a side note, anyone know where I can import those Black Nyack cards they were advertising on the festa website?

you let me down

Gotta stretch the content as far as possible >_>


Only because they don't let them anymore.
I remember stuff like Haze + Shrayda / Banthers + 3 Rockbears in In The Driving Rain 2 (or whatever number was in 2014).
Was fun.


Also no mag in the live gameplay part of the stream, no PB in the sub-palette either.

[Ezodagrom]

What delay?
The PS4 version was first announced for 2016 while having a closed beta test sometime prior, last month it got confirmed for spring 2016 while having the beta test in february, and in the latest broadcast they announced the dates for both beta and release, february 25th for the start of the beta and april 20th for the launch.

[TaigaUC]

Because wefwq said the visuals are probably finalized.
If that's the case, they could release the PS4 pretty soon, assuming there aren't other issues at hand.
Even if the visuals are done, I'd expect them to delay the PC fancy graphics just so people have a little more incentive to grab the PS4 version.

Anyway, whatever. I was already annoyed that episode 4 didn't come with the fancy graphics.

I really don't think they're finalized yet, saw this posted on neogaf today.

Interviews with PSO2 staff have been posted on various Japanese gaming sites and while they contain mostly already known information, an interesting tidbit has been included - the PS4/PC setting 6 graphics from TGS have been in early stages and have been improved since then.

They already have everything planned down the road though, since SEGA never announce exact release date of PS4 version prior the last broadcast, also ain't april still count as spring? they're still on the schedulle and looks like there's no delay.
Pretty much just like how Vita version rolling in back then.

I think 2~3 months away from initial EP4 release are not that bad, consindering that they still need some time window for breather to get few things ready for PS4 version.

That makes absolutely no sense. They'd gain nothing by gating it down the road. It's not like other types of content where releasing it early means players get access to stuff they wouldn't have otherwise.

The more likely explanation is that they underestimated the number of assets that need to be retooled to work with the new shaders (+ adding normal maps for EVERY ENVIRONMENT IN THE GAME is not a trivial task).

At any rate, it's still disappointing that we have to wait another three months before we can get our hands on it. It certainly goes a long way to explaining why they haven't revealed any further footage of the improved graphics.

[Anduril]
