I played trial too and was only few importer most played Episode 3 trial 2 weeks and after didnt play more.

I want know how many peson will buy jp version at end of this month.

I think people can be bored very soon of this game like was on trial noone played at end.

I like this game and i want play it but i hard to play with jp players because you need to talk with other players to set strategy and like all know only few jp speak english well. So is impossible to play episode 3 with not english speaker strategy is the base of this game and if you cant talk with your patner is impossible have a good match.

I hope someone will buy it or this game will die very fast...

You can play episode 1 2 offline alone for get exp and find rare but episode 3 offline is very boring.

I will get it.
I would have already pre-ordered if I could find an importer which has the Trilogy box, but for now I think I will pre-order it (Ep1&2+ and Ep3) at Lik-Sang and order the nice Episode 3 Memory Card with it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif I don't like it that Japanvideogames.com (<<< my fav import store) doesn't have the memory card.

Little semi off topic request: if anybody's knows a importsite which has the Trilogy box, please let me know (in this topic or pm me http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif )

I think we can choose a ship block where only episode 3 importer can play. So is more easy for meet. What you think?

Zaneatron
Nov 2, 2003, 10:49 AM
those sites are a rip off.

but i like the idea of a set ship/block. but wouldnt Guiletta 10 be the place to be? seeing thats the psow ship/block?

Thanks for the link -STE-
I just happened to see that yesterday and already wanted to post here
that my fav importstore does have it.

And yes Zaneatron importstores like japanvideogames.com are very expensive, but I like the good service and fast as hell delivery. Lik-sang is good, but sometimes it lets me down. So in this case I would rather order it from japanvideogames.com and pay a "little" extra and have the game within 2-3 days in my cube (usually within 2 days from my experience).
Lik-sang I use for "less urgent" orders.

Zaneatron
Nov 3, 2003, 02:17 PM
well, play asia offer either EMS postage which takes 2-4 days, or courier which takes 1-3 days. i would expect these to cost a bit more money though due to the spped. otherwise normal airmail takes around 4-9 days i think, or possibly 4-5 weeks :S im sure lik sang offer a similar option as do most places. also seeing i live in the UK there is better international shiping to where i live and more likely to get a faster delivery. for people out side or places like the UK except Germany or France probably, your international stuff prolly goes here or gremany/france and then gets forwarded from there.

im going to order my versions tonight, im a bit confused over the paypal situation, im hoping i can pay them directly from it. otherwise i have to wait 4-5 days for my money to arrive in it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

AppieDPC
Nov 3, 2003, 03:17 PM
Yea, most companies (including Lik-sang) have an option for delivery within 2-4 days. But from my ordering experience it wasn't here within 2 days and that is something japanvideogames.com has done with every order I made at that store. My JPN 1.1 took 5 days, because when I ordered it was out of stock. Three days after that order it was in stock again (and sold out again about 6 hours later lol) so even that took 2 days delivery. But all other items I ordered there (ASCII KB, JPN Zelda etc.) were at my doorstep in 2 days. Btw I live in The Netherlands. Your neigbour country Zaneatron http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif. So delivery between your country and my country shouldn't be that much different (maximum is a day I think).


Just my 2 cents on personal experience with importers http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I am going to pre-order them probably this week at Japanvideogames http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

i know you live in the netherlands, i can read http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
but, yes, there is prolly a slight delay on things from uber abroard, e.g. USA, Japan, Hong Kong, etc...
but for a forwarding station in europe it wouldnt take much more time.

I just ordered my stuff, 92 pounds in total, thats the EP3, PSO+, Hori memory card, and postage.
here, in UK the total would be more like 110-120+ pounds, from a off-the-shelf perspective. even if i did get stuff online it would still cost a bit as it were. and theres travelling expenses for going to shops as well, i feel i did ok there. shipping was 16 quid and thats 2-4 days i think so it should be ok.

I'll be on Episode III JP http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I'm going to pre-order it from Japan Video Games ASAP!

Ill definitely be getting it when it comes out in the US, I'd love to import it but there are too many complications with import costs, freeloader, etc.

Heh you guys will be far ahead of everyone else *green with envy*. Make sure to tell us how it plays, whats it like, etc. when you get it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I plan on writing a FAQ on the game once I play it a bit.

PontiusR
Nov 5, 2003, 10:40 PM
Good luck with the FAQ if you do get around to writing it...I bet it'll be pretty difficult to put together.

Link00seven
Nov 5, 2003, 10:52 PM
Probably :-/

Considering the style of PSO Episode III. Might as well try it though. I've never writtin an FAQ before, and I think this is one game I should at least attempt it. Alot of people at another website I post at really wants one, as I am the only one that posts at that site importing the game lol.

So only few people will buy it : ((((( must play with jp again.

I'll play with you STE! I still have your guild card from v1.0 actually... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I know of at least 2 other Europeans who don' post here who'll be playing also so no worries there as far as I can see!

AppieDPC
Nov 6, 2003, 08:56 AM
Relax STE http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
I know 3-4 other people who don't post on this site that will import.

Link00seven
Nov 6, 2003, 03:54 PM
Dont worry STE, I'm sure they'll be other people importing, once the games released and people see more of it.

Zaneatron
Nov 6, 2003, 04:08 PM
and dont forget, quite a few of the mods are bound to get it, so were bound to have a reasonably sized psow crew http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Nov 6, 2003, 06:50 PM
I will get it too. I hope the beginning of December I'll have it. I choosed Lik-sang for the free shipping

The I think I had bad luck with japanvideogames? It took me over 4 weeks for receive the stuff z.z

Well this got pre-ordered for me yesterday thanks to a mate who ordered it (finally! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif )
He ordered it for himself too http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif (except he didn't want Ep1&2 Plus lol)
-Episode 1&2 Plus
-Episode 3
-Episode 3 Memory Card 251
I am lookin forward to this game as well.

Link00seven
Nov 11, 2003, 10:20 AM
I just preordered yesterday night too!

--Phantasy Star Online Episode III

That's all. I got Ver 1.1 so I dont need plus, and I dont really care about the new memory card right now. Maybe another time.

AppieDPC
Nov 11, 2003, 03:00 PM
I wouldn't care about Plus normally either, but I quess I played a bit too much on my 1.1 disc, so the CD is a bit worn out/used up. The NGC won't register the disc sometimes when I first turn it on, perhaps it is the NGC, but I think it is the disc, because other games don't have any problem.
And with my V2 disc I kind of had the same problem.
Back then I didn't buy a new disc, couple of months later my DC was dead. Could have been because of overkill play, the bad disc (I could hear the laser making extra noises like on my NGC now) or it was a bit of both. Either way in an attempt to save my cool little Orange Cube, I decided to get this disc. It is cheap and has some nice extra's (and actually I can't wait to play Ep2 C-Mode http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif )

And the memory card I chose to buy, because I needed a new Memory Card for Episode 3 anyway. Might as well be a cool one in Ep3 style http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

im kinda hesitant about getting E3, ive never been a fan of card games and i only liked pso cuz it was real time combat...ill have to think about it

Nov 12, 2003, 02:09 AM
I would rather wait until the English version comes out. I would understand the game alot better if it was in English. But if otherwise let me know.

Zaneatron
Nov 12, 2003, 10:47 AM
pretty much everyone here is banking on there being an english language option in the game. so it makes no difference to the game, other than we will have JP card numbers, and we will have it a couple of months before everyone else http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Link00seven
Nov 12, 2003, 03:45 PM
I just got my Ver 1.1 in Augest 2003, so its not very old http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I can't wait until this game is released. I'm going crazy waiting for it! I really think its going to be good, and the card aspect of it will give a nice Stratagy element, and I like Stratagy (even if I can't spell it http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif lol)

Lord_Sloth
Nov 12, 2003, 07:59 PM
I wish they made III just like the previous titles but put the Card Game in there as a mini game! Like if two players are bored and waiting for the other friends to show! You purchase a deck and everything! I would'nt mind it that way! I wont get Episode III!

AppieDPC
Nov 13, 2003, 05:12 AM
You know Lord_Sloth that was the orginal plan before Ep1&2 was released on the Cube. At least that was the rumour. I quess ST skipped the idea and made it a game on its own. I would personally like to see it like you: as a extra game mode, like C-Mode and Battle. But I still want to try this game.
Something new and hopefully something cool.

Btw Linkooseven it is strategy http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

It's a very cool idea with a very cool way of doing it. I was thinking about printing out cards from screenshots and trying to make my own CG in real life using the Ep. 3 rules, but there's no screenshots of the starter deck cards except those here, and they have that PSOW logo blocking the full card.

Anyway, yes, I'm gonna try and get PSO Ep. 3. I'm asking for it for Christmas (I know it won't be out by then, so it's basically a "promise to buy me it when it comes out" kinda thing). Can't wait to start making my Arkz decks!

Nov 16, 2003, 04:05 PM
I'll probably see how people like it and rent it first, because I'm not really into card games, but it is PSO, so it will probably own hardcore.

RavenTW
Nov 16, 2003, 04:33 PM
Sadly, I don't think it will be available for rent, since you can only play ONE game disc on ONE Gamecube.
