update

[Dark Emerald EXE]

While I'm happy they keep doing more stuff.... I'm really looking forward (if they do) for a teaser for Ep.5.

so I guess it's safe to say Deus Esca is the final "boss" to Episode 4?

Did SEGA forget about Hagito?

[Kondibon]

Did SEGA forget about Hagito?There was some stuff datamined for Yamato EX or something like that, so it's possible we might get some Hagito stuff as a follow up to the end of episode 4, like how we got Apprentice stuff after the end of episode 3.

[loafhero]

I just hope the possible soon-to-be-named extra chapter boss doesn't involve another dumb Rideroid chase segment.

[Tymek]

I just hope the possible soon-to-be-named extra chapter boss doesn't involve another dumb Rideroid chase segment.

I don't know. Chasing Yamato through the skies of Tokyo seems pretty cool.

[sasagi.jp]

I think that Phantasy star Thanksgiving will be announced soon.

"Informations about PSU 10th Anniversary Part 3"

Yeah, I could see them doing a face variant (which would probably be the scratch bonus...) and Nanoblast body paint, and maybe some more ear accessories.

[morkie]

[Tymek]

RAPPY SUIT MINI?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kondibon]

The [Extra Tree Change Pass] will now charge Star Gems instead of Arks Cash.

skilltreeresetsnextpls.

[Xaeris]

Oh, nice. From the very start when star gems were introduced, I said that they should be able to be used to buy some of the AC services like skill trees and item pack expansions. It's a start.

"Premium players can register up to 30 My Fashion presets."

Praise the lord.

[Gwyndolin]

Episode 5 starts with a beatdown from Phaleg? I... don't know what to say... I thought we'd be moving on from Earth but maybe not?

[Meteor Weapon]

derp what did i miss on the final segment?

[Ezodagrom]

derp what did i miss on the final segment?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHR1Qpk7ras#t=2h25m30s

[Meteor Weapon]

So, the Phaleg vs player thing will be the conclusion for EP4, and finally entering EP5 or we're still stuck on Earth?

[Xaeris]

I'm thinking maybe it's a sidequest battle on the story board, like when the PC fights her with Huey? Damn, she took off the training weights.

[Gwyndolin]

So, the Phaleg vs player thing will be the conclusion for EP4, and finally entering EP5 or we're still stuck on Earth?

I sure hope not! The ship has sailed for Episode 4 and I'm ready for something new at this point as I'm sure many of us are.

[Poyonche]

Phaleg cheated, she used a nuclear bomb kick. :c

BOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

[oratank]

So, the Phaleg vs player thing will be the conclusion for EP4, and finally entering EP5 or we're still stuck on Earth?

phaleg just side story the last word with earth pic it said farewell earth

[Meteor Weapon]

EP5's theme is Reincarnation, I wonder what does that mean.

Reincarnation of Photoners(tho that kinda concluded when they passed on trying to hold back Loser) or the story of Genesis Weapons and connect with ES?

[Moffen]

>Deus is Light/Dark weak

Shit update.
They will never move away from braindead light weak bosses.

[oratank]

good thing isn't it

[Kintama]

FUCK YEAH, FUCK OFF EARTH!!

[Shinamori]

I feel like that's a "You're still too weak" thing. I don't think we're done with Earth yet.

[Ezodagrom]

I feel like that's a "You're still too weak" thing. I don't think we're done with Earth yet.
Yeah, I don't think we're done with Earth either, but it does look like Earth will stop being the focus at least.

[Meteor Weapon]

I guess solo-ing PD wasn't strong enough huh. kek

[Kintama]

As mentionned above, the text clearly says "Farewell, Earth" so yeah, aside from some side events here and there we are DONE with Earth and the episode 4 shovelware, YAS!

[sasagi.jp]

After all there was a Thanksgiving announcement.
It starts in June.
So it would be an announcement of EP5's new planet and new class.

[Raujinn]

New planet sure new class is jumping to a conclusion.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

New planet sure new class is jumping to a conclusion.

Not sure how....new.episode = new class.

Thats how its always been :p

Lavis Cannon is now a 14* Wand with a Slash Wave potential!
I LOVE IT.

Also, how crazy is it that they announced TWO new races?

Please this.....in game story of ES tie in please.
I like ES story and wish they.implemented it in main game more than just NPC COs

[oratank]

lol beast head type is a bonus scratch really sega lolololol

[Meteor Weapon]

If new 2 races are true, i think it's time they add Race change ticket

Beast (Beast Head Type)
Rappy (Rappy Suit Mini which supports accessories)

That would be essential.


lol beast head type is a bonus scratch really sega lolololol

People already called it prior to the stream. It's very disappointing, but it's SEGA.

[Lyrise]

I'm somewhat annoyed that of all the design winners stuffs, the ones I was most interested are for Side B, which they did NOT show and do not have a date set for.
Secondly, for anyone interested in that Rappy Suit Mini, better get to work - it's 100000 Battle coins.

[Tymek]

I'll work for it alright.

[Shinamori]

Wait, two races? Hope we have a new class with that.

[Cyber Meteor]

There are no new races coming, bumped would have put that info by now, what we'll get is a beast face variant (from Bonus scratch), and ppl mistook it as a new race. It seems they also mistook the mini rappy suit (which cost 100,000 Arena points btw) as a new race xD

About the updates : Zeinesis weapons look gorgeous 8-), 14* tact? lol, other 14*s are Wand and DS : m'kay (i use DS but not wand), a fight with full power Phaleg : YES!!!!!, Episode 5 : a new episode is always welcomed ^^, praying for a GS class xD

[Raujinn]

Just because they've done a new class every episode doesn't mean they're going to do a new one this episode. With zero data to back it up, you are jumping to a conclusion by assuming there's definitely going to be a new class.

[Kintama]

It's sega after all, DO NOT take anything for granted/hype yourselves up.

[Tymek]

Oh, I wasn't mistaken.
Those (sort-of) count as new races to me. If you don't see them as new races, then that's a you-thing.
I see them as new races, so that's a me-thing.

Nice sub-post. xD



Anyways, what kind of New World do you think they're talking about?

[Anduril]

I really hope beast face is not the Gold Scratch bonus; I really want to get it, but having to do Gold Scratch just makes me itchy.

[loafhero]

By the looks of that Phaleg boss fight, her possibly undodgeable/untankable falcon kick is an obligatory cutscene that happens regardless of whether we actually win or die in the fight.

Now, I don't mind if we "lose" that fight because the cutscene says so mainly because EP4 went a little overboard with how OP our character has gotten and our character is in need of more hurdles to cross over just as Toriyama created Beerus as a way to give Goku more challenges to overcome. Thing is, if a future rematch against Phaleg means having to revisit Earth?... yeah, no.

Anyway, I've been looking forward to that Dinian outfit for a long time now.

Can't wait to leave Earth for good.

[Kintama]

Oh, I wasn't mistaken.
Those (sort-of) count as new races to me. If you don't see them as new races, then that's a you-thing.

You are free to go with as many headcanons as you want, just, do not mark these as news or anything because as a matter of fact they indeed aren't new races, at the end of the day you're gonna confuse people.

[TheszNuts]

By the looks of that Phaleg boss fight, her possibly undodgeable/untankable falcon kick is an obligatory cutscene that happens regardless of whether we actually win or die in the fight.


I saw it more like the Claris Claes fight in Episode 1, if you take too long you get that scene.

[Tymek]

You are free to go with as many headcanons as you want, just, do not mark these as news or anything because as a matter of fact they indeed aren't new races, at the end of the day you're gonna confuse people.

Yes, because being able to have a more animal-like face equals a headcanon.

Though, I should've made it more clear that I was joking about the "new races" thing. I assumed the tone and the "TWO" would've given it away.
"Also, how crazy is it that they announced TWO new races?"

I hope the ARKS Sadinian Suit won't cost that much.

[Mattykins]

"New World"
"Revival"
"Come Back"

Fuck, we're going to Ragol

[Agastya]

earth is ragol confirmed

[RadiantLegend]

Sadinian outfit is hype!

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Yea when I saw the new beast face variant i was like welp.....so much for Beast Race hehehe

And they "could" still do a new race considering they usually introduced it the same time they did a new class....but seems slim...

all we know is....we'll see a new class for Ep5.....

[Poyonche]

I saw it more like the Claris Claes fight in Episode 1, if you take too long you get that scene.

Eh ? What happened if the fight took too long ? I really don't remember lol.

[Vatallus]

Captain Falcon wants his kick back.

[ArcaneTechs]

no new races, but new face type and costume= new races. come on guys, you guys that desperate or something? or blatantly want to spread false rumors again

[Suplin]

I am suprised hitsugi and co weapons were not shoved into a sg scratch allthough that probably means stuff like och/phul/mother weapons will not avoid such fate
since current sg scratch expires during early june i wonder how long till they tease the new one

[Lyrise]

Unfortunately the situation remains the same. There's no guarantee that you'll receive more than enough Phantom Emblems to get the camos. And right now the only way you can get enough Genesis Emblems for the current Genesis camos is to trade in a whole whack of SG items for the emblem, or start clearing PSO2es Story mode.

[Raujinn]

Eh ? What happened if the fight took too long ? I really don't remember lol.

I got curious so I looked it up.

You get this scene if you win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2Ply-hFhc

This scene if you don't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xtWUsufgtQ

[Renvalt]

Seeing that ESCA-Tower room in the Phaleg final fight preview made me think that they could POSSIBLY put in Emperor Type-α as a possible cameo boss (assuming they don't go with Magician Type-0, who is much more iconic for the franchise they'd pull from).

I mean, because HOLY SHIT I was getting huge HotD vibes from all of EP4's non-story content (with minor exceptions to Yamato and POSSIBLY Deus Esca Zephyros).

[Tymek]

"New World"
"Revival"
"Come Back"

Fuck, we're going to Ragol

This is exactly what I was thinking. Please please let it be Ragol.

[ArcaneTechs]

What if it's the world Double Destroyed? or Ragol....

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

So speculation time. What are the odds these 'god' units and weapons will shit on all of our work during boost week, and union actually requiring some measure of skill to get?

[Lyrise]

Unlikely. We said the same thing about Astra, and they only turn out to be 20 stat points ahead of Union.

[loafhero]

I saw it more like the Claris Claes fight in Episode 1, if you take too long you get that scene.

Ah, I remember that from EP1-EX. Same with Huey (if you choose Sara as your partner) though he's obviously less of a dick about it if the time limit is reached. Well, in that case, I hope our character does a rider kick of their own if we win.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

What are the chances of austere rear+arm being dethroned in the raw stats department? Just as bad?

[PrinceBrightstar]

Given recently datamined enemy info Algol (or the Alisa III showing up) is more likely than Ragol. It is the 30th anniversary after all in December.

[Zorak000]

whens slicers sega


show me the slicers


drown me in disca of liberator just like the good ol days of whitill

[Meteor Weapon]

"datamined enemy info Algol"

what datamine?

Wasn't Ragol supposed to be something related to Algol System?

[PrinceBrightstar]

That got scrapped during development of PSO. There's no connection.

A number of B1 enemy types were discovered including SK, OR, CAT, and a few others. Now those seem like traditional enemy types.

[ArcaneTechs]

What are the chances of austere rear+arm being dethroned in the raw stats department? Just as bad?
you didnt invest into those did you? i mean more units coming soon then Ep5, those are gonna be dethroned sometime this year, becomes the waiting game now

[silo1991]

"datamined enemy info Algol"

what datamine?

Wasn't Ragol supposed to be something related to Algol System?

nope ragol its in a different solar system , if im correct with the next point im going to say : everything before PSO2 was in the same universe , gulthar system its actually algol centuries or milleniums later than original games , also there was a hint in PSO1 in a rico record she says an alien race fought dark falz for centuries but they realize its was useless the fight and seal him in a ship and burried in a planet far far away from their home (maybe a hint from PS 3 )

also i hope after deus esca sega kills the earth arc already and never come back again , i just want to get rid of the creative laziness we saw in the whole ep 4 ( and the anime in consequence ) and pray we dont see anything like this again

[Xaelouse]

What makes people think the "creative laziness" won't seep into the new episode. Btw it was more creative than Japanland and Ultimate Evil

[Meteor Weapon]

Tbh, i thought they'd sneak in Lovecraftian Horrors, the selfproclaimed ultimate fear of the unknown that can drove humanity insane just by looking at their goddamn statues....MISS OPPORTUNITY THERE SEGAC BECAUSE YOU SAID YOURSELF THAT THEY'RE BASED ON FEAR

[loafhero]

I'd probably be actually intimidated by Phantoms like Laplace if it was less this:
https://pso2blog.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/probably_laplace.jpg

And more this:
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/berserk/images/5/5a/Zodd2.png/revision/latest/top-crop/width/480/height/480?cb=20160808014401

[Raujinn]

I liked ep4's enemies. I wasn't a huge fan of the setting.

[silo1991]

the phantoms and eather was a good idea but there was an abysmal better ways to introduce and execute . starting with any setting that is not earth , again why the idea of earth setting was even approved , its just out of place and from marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense the decision ; also the anime which came as consequence of ep 4 was a piece of shit i wouldnt recomend it to anyone . actually the creator of PSO2 wanted to do the anime as an opportunity to make NPCs interact like in the game wouldn't but no . its like sega betted for the worst viable possibilities/outcomes like they don't give a crap, i just don't see why sega took those decisions .

and you know ep 4 was bad when the new sceneries , raid bosses(specially you yamato) does not excite you ( i felt like i was playing by the force because of the weapon sheets that involve earth :S) if it wasn't for the gameplay improvements this season wouldn't have "nothing" rescuable

[TehCubey]

you didnt invest into those did you? i mean more units coming soon then Ep5, those are gonna be dethroned sometime this year, becomes the waiting game now

Just like how saiki became dethroned as soon as ep 3 came out, am I right.

[Meteor Weapon]

Didn't Saiki topped till early/mid of EP4 and 12* units came out at UQ AMD? I mean it's still nice unit to have even now.

[TehCubey]

Yes, that's my point.

This is PSO2, it is very rare that high end gear suddenly becomes irrelevant because something much better appears. At the very least, the new good stuff is so rare in terms of drops or farming requirements (Austere) that it won't be seen often for a very long time.

Which is why skipping on upgrades "because something better will come out soon" is not a good stance to have.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Saiki was/is still one of the well rounded 11* units to use.

With the introduction to 12* it dethroned 11* sure but considering not everyone has the good 12* units (such as Amdu ULT, Ray/Union,Izane and Astra
........ Saiki is still fine for end game imo.

Units don't tend to get dethroned as fast as weapons do.

[TehCubey]

My stance on 12* units is probably known by at least some people on this forum.

I've yet to see ones that are better than Austere units (okay, except Leg). And yes, even though saiki is not top meta, it's still endgame-usable.

[blkbox11]

Units don't tend to get dethroned as fast as weapons do.

Yeah, I'm more interested to see what the Zenesis weapons are like. The units will likely be better than or equal to what we currently have, but the drop rates will mean that they aren't an option for most people.

Personally, I'd only consider going for unit upgrades that I have access to, which means: stuff I can easily buy from player shops. If a full set of Izane happens to drop, I'll invest in that. Otherwise, no point worrying about it.

[morkie]

Which is why skipping on upgrades "because something better will come out soon" is not a good stance to have.

I agree, ill just did grind it to +10units and affix it at least 100atk, then i'll wait next come to appear, except my 14*weapon

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

To answer an earlier question, I did commit on austere + union. The one S atk class I play being Br, I didn't need left rings as much.

Still trying to sell my saiki units (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?237048-Retiring-my-saiki-145-9-s-atk-and-more&p=3415189#post3415189) for 21mil a piece after shop tax though.

[Zorak000]

I was talking with some people and we came to the theory that ep5 might take a "reincarnation into the labyrinth" turn.

the supporting evidence is pure speculation based on the internal file names of some enemies dug up earlier in the month:
http://psumods.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=193&start=230#p9680

B1Sk
B1SkSw
enemy/en_b1sksw.ice
B1SkAr
enemy/en_b1skar.ice.
B1GoSw
enemy/en_b1go_sw.ice
B1GoBo
enemy/en_b1go_bo.ice
B1Min
enemy/en_b1min.ice
B1WoN
enemy/en_b1wo_n.ice
B1OrN
enemy/en_b1or_n.ice
B1CatsA (Boss?)
enemy/en_b1cats_a.ice
B1OrBo
enemy/en_b1or_bo.ice
B1WoF
,enemy/en_b1wo_f.ice

So yeah, not got a clue who these guys are yet. They seem to be using our weapons though if Sw is Sword and Ar is Assault Rifle and Bo is boots.

Aside that they seem to be in categories; Sk, Go, Wo and Or. Mi might be a category or it might just be Min and Cats is a boss judging by the presence of a test version of it
http://psumods.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=193&start=230#p9686

To repost an idea from Agra... total shot in the dark but

Maybe Sk = Skeleton, Go = Goblin, Or = Orc... We going to western fantasy planet maybe.

Agra's an edgelord tho so might be wishful thinking on his part (and I'll be honest I wouldnt mind beatin up a bunch of bones)
these posts were made before the dev stream; previously we were just thinking that if it was skeletons orcs and goblins it could just mean we were going to Earth Field 3 and it would be in the UK maybe, but ever since they dropped that "story of reincarnation" line I'm bracing for something even dumber than the initial premise of episode 4

im also preparing the popcorn for the inevitable fury of madposts

[Flaoc]

and the inevitable ragequit video

[Dark Emerald EXE]

W/e Ep5 is about I'm in.....

*Positive thinking*

[Tymek]

Or we can do actual proper Phantasy Star stuff how about that SEGA :) :) :)

[Altiea]

Or we can do actual proper Phantasy Star stuff how about that SEGA :) :) :)

Pretty sure we don't need another discussion about what qualifies as "Phantasy Star"...

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Pretty sure we don't need another discussion about what qualifies as "Phantasy Star"...

I'd say anything not ep4, and perhaps not harkotan would qualify as 'phantasy star'.

[Selphea]

Harko has Ohtori vibes so it's still ok :wacko:
