interesting!
we finally get to see the other races & chars
looks like there are more places with variety in scenery

maya on page 1 just reminds me of ff8 quistis ;D

*looks at third picture, does a double take at the guy next to Mirei, laughs for five minutes straight*

I KNEW it. I so freaking knew it. XD And I suppose this answers my previous half-joking question... (Mind you, I was hoping the answer would be in the negative, but)

Though I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that yes, there really IS a character named Lutz in the game, or that the one new newman chick looks exactly like Quistis from FF8 with a FOnewearl's ears. XP

And what's with all these characters who have living family members? Don't they know that it's illegal in an RPG? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Damn it, ST, just make PSV already. *snicker*

I like that outdoor environment in the first page...

...which I like even more once I saw the second page.

And then it falls down from there because I can't understand crazy moon language.

Too bad I don't have more time on my hands today... I would at least be able to translate the names and some of the other simple kana stuff... (gotta go to school, then straight to work until midnight D= )
I'll see what I can do then...

I will at least say now that the girl on the last page in the lavender tones is named Haru... And her bio says something about a reporter??? I think? (my Japanese is not the best <.<)

The cute little beast girl is named "Reena Sukaya" I believe... her blurb mentions the Landeel...

And the total hotness that is the "Quistis looking newearl" is Maya Shidou... and her little blurb seems to mention Karen and Leo, but that's as far as I got! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Also, before I go... The planets... (notice the little planet pictures next to the screens of areas?) The first one says "Parumu"... Second says "New Deizu"... 3rd says "Motwabu"...

(this is all from the fragmented japanese I know, and is mostly only katakana translations)

I will try to do more when I get home at midnight...

Romanizations and random guesses as to anglicizations on the new characters, because I'm bored:

Third picture:

RAcast-looking dude next to Magashi: FURUEN GATSU. No real guess on the first name, but 'gatsu' is commonly used for 'guts'.

Newman dude next to Mirei: IZUMA RUTSU. Gonna guess Izuma Lutz for him.

Fourth picture:

Short beast guy next to Lou: TONIO RIMA. Tonio Lima?

Quistis-looking Newman chick: MAYA SHIDOU. Probably Maya Shidou or Shidoh or Shido.

Guy next to Maya: OOBERU DARUGAN. Orvelle Dalgan? Dunno.

Guy next to him: RUKAIMU NEEVU. (Wow, don't see the 'vu' often...) Lukaim Neve?

Old newman dude below Lou: DOUGI MIKUNA. I'd expect them to leave this one alone.

Beast girl next to Tylor: RIINA SUKAYA. Lina Skya? (Incidentally, ST is weird, 'TAIRAA' under normal sane circumstances works out to 'Tyler', not 'Tylor'. >_>)

Fifth picture:

Black kid next to Lumia: KARAMA RAIMU. Karam Lime?

Android chick next to him: REMURIA NORUFE. Remria Nolfe?

Chick next to her with pink hair: HARU. I'd guess Haru or Halu, since 'Hal' is a boy's name and 'Hall' doesn't make sense as a name, but this IS ST we're talking about, so who knows.

Old scientist guy: KANARU TOMUREIN. Canal Tomlein?

And now it's time to start discussion the age-old 'who would you do' question. XP I'd hit Tylor and Lutz. >_>

RoninJoku
Sep 8, 2005, 11:18 AM
<.<.... >.>....

I'd hit Maya and Haru...

Anyway... looks like Ian took care of the names... Which essentially covers almost all that I can 100% translate... There really isn't anything much else I can do then... So whos next???

Eeew at the dude in the character creation screenshot! >.<

Eeew at quite a few of the characters... Jeez ST, why do you have to make so many lame characters???

FURUEN > Fouren > Wren? It's a stretch, but we are dealing with Sonic Team here.

It was forren, though.

I wouldn't put it past ST though, considering that we've got characters named Tyler and Lutz and at this point I'm surprised we don't have Alis freaking Landale. Maybe Ethan is one of her descendants, then, since they seem to want to make this Phantasy Star II. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I liked this one the most:

http://pso-world.com/images/psu/famitsu/teaser1.jpg

It looks like you won't have to sit in a crummy lobby anymore you can actually explore towns and sit around, like a real hobo onteh street, "RAREZ PLS!"

And its looks like some characters from Otogi made an appearance. (looks at guy with tall pointy black hat). I guess I will make a male newman, that guy looked just like the fomar. He also could easily be made into the villian of Shinobi ps2: Hiruko (shutters)

God dammit, the character customization looks better now, I'll need to make all 4 races and both genders for a total of 8 characters! BLAST!

Heh, i really want to get a large gang of people's characters dressed in black and sunglasses, and walk in and be like "stfu or gtfo!". Sure we'd get banned but it would own.

I was planning not to destroy my life with this game.

Rofls at the kung fu master in purple, with the big gogles. just like dragonball...

Wow, and I thought it was impossible to be any more hyped... XD

Funny thing about Lutz.
If we go with the Phantasy Star japanese continuity, Lutz existed in more than one old PS game (but they named him diferently in the US version in one of the games, go figure), so having Lutz in PSU again isn't that surprising since it's the mentioned story of the Lutz essence being transfered among descendants to keep his knoledge intact.

I really like the environments and cities, this will be one great game.

Ian, I think this IS PSV, only with an online portion. XD

Nai_Calus
Sep 8, 2005, 02:07 PM
Unlikely, unless we get some BS about the descendants of the people on the Alisa III or something, which is the only thing that would make sense...

...And still wouldn't explain the overly cloying references. Why have a character(Tylor) so obviously duplicated from an existing PS character?(PSII's Tyler). Why have a character named Lutz when the only method of justifying that as part of the main storyline would directly conflict the only method of justifying the game itself as part of the main storyline? You could say 'Oh, but Lutz was famous, maybe the name just got remembered by someone', but outside of Alis even by the time of PSIV the first generation of Protectors seems to have been forgotten by all but the Espers(Even then nobody seems to give a crap about Odin or Myau), and that's IN Algol.

It's like Rika's Claw in PSO, or Dark Falz. It's there to be a cutesy reference and nothing more.

_Tek_
Sep 8, 2005, 02:23 PM
Psus its easier than making up new material.

DarK-SuN
Sep 8, 2005, 02:39 PM
I won't agree about the "cutesy reference" part (just because of Dark Falz, I agree Rika's Claw is the case) since things do fit, but the rest I can agree.

But hey, you never know; even if everyone else seems to have forgotten, as long as there's only one person who remembers Lutz's name, it's enough for them to call a son of Lutz.
Afterall, Lutz was in PS4 (I know he had a diferent name in the US version, Rune, but was still a descendant of Lutz none the less), so it's not that unthinkable to have a person named Lutz in PSU, in my opinion.

Nai_Calus
Sep 8, 2005, 03:17 PM
Well, the PSO Dark Falz looks nothing like the PS universe's Dark Falz/Force. Outside of being the big bad guy of the game there's not terribly much in common. And true, 'Lutz' isn't the most obscure name either(It's German, for one thing, so maybe there were even Earthmen with the name. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif ).
I won't get into the argument about whether or not PSO can really fit in, too tired today. ^___^

Rune's not technically Lutz or Lutz's descendent, really, though, but that's getting far deeper into PSIV spoilers than anyone in this thread would care about. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif (His Japanese name was Thray, by the way)

Yay, PSU has RAcasts!! And it looks almost exactly like the one I play as in PSO BB. o_o
http://tinypic.com/dhcw3s.png
Same colour and everything!!

The city designs are wonderful, the water planet is really nice, and so is everything else!!

I love the character designs too, you go from a little kid with polkadots, to modified kimonos and Chinese fighters, and some cool looking admiral guy, and of course RAcast!

OMFGICANTWAITOFMOGMOFOMFOM *splat*

Hey cool a Lutz. I think it's there as a homage, so don't go on big theory rants, or go on angsty OMFG PSU =/= PS rants. >____>

Nai_Calus
Sep 8, 2005, 05:05 PM
Oh, I won't. I've taken a view at this point of 'lol, isn't ST cute?'.

Besides, he's cute, so all is forgiven. It'd be better if he had blue hair instead of black, but you can't have everything. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Wow, that new RAcast-looking guy looks awesome. So does the robed newman guy...except I don't much like the hat. Ah well, a newm with robes is a nice change...

*cough*

_Tek_
Sep 8, 2005, 10:45 PM
Actually, I thought the most noteable change was that Male newman's don't look rediculous anymore.

RoninJoku
Sep 9, 2005, 12:59 AM
I'm still praying that I don't have to wear robes and use techs if I want to be a newman male... But I doubt that will be the case considering the depth of character creation we've seen and hear of, plus the fact that Karen is said to not use techs... So there is hope for newman male hunters who want to wear clothing that isn't ridiculous/robes/whatever...

DarK-SuN
Sep 9, 2005, 01:14 AM
True, Ian, it'd have been better if that Lutz had blue hair like Lutz; oh well.

One thing I liked seeing after looking at the scans better is the little square with four pictures showing the character creation.
The top right picture inside that square shows the clothing selection for your character (yes, you have a physical creation and then you choose your character's outfit) and if you notice, there's 80 options for upper body, 80 options for pants, 80 options for shoes and 80 options for socks; that's a LOT of customisation, will be VERY hard to find someone looking exactly like you with these many options!
Can't make out what the setting with only 5 options is, maybe some sort of "addon" selection, like ear pieces, bracelets or something of the sorts.

OK where to start? first of all I would like to say that picture/link #2 is sooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants!

Outside view of the city makes me want to dive into the damn screen and go on an adventure.

The lobby of the city looks...it makes me want to cry like a 14 year old school girl.

The autumn backround, it's something truly different and unexpected and a huge surprise, but a very good one, I can't wait to just hangout there with my team.

The shop...it looks amazing, it makes the whole going to the shop and buying healing items (mates and fluids) way more fun then before.

The random valley/canyon looks amazing...fighting there will be one of the best parts of the game in my opinion because it always seemed amazing to me when the good guys were fighting monster in the canyon and charged eachother inside and a huge brawl broke-out.

The graphics...they are 2x as good as I originally assumed and saw from the videos, the graphics are crisp, and defined in such a way if I ever tried making a game this would be a sample (i'm going to college to be a game designer in a few years from now...can't wait! it'll be amazing)

Overall this could NOT be any better than it is, it's truly amazing just looking at these pictures and what not, I can't wait...now I love PSU with my whole entire body including my PP.

PhruitBaskit
Oct 19, 2005, 08:41 PM
That's why I posted. It's got to be the best PSU eye candy yet, and a lot of people still haven't seen it.

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL PSU COMES OUT!!! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I'll help clear some things up about the above revealed names:

1) Fuoren was the Japanese name for our Wren so, obvious reference there.

2) Tyler, a beast who pilots the Landale. It could very well be the same Landale or another ship in honor of the original & he being named in honor of the original pilot, Mr. Odin Tyler. Yes, ppl, Tyler is the same person as Odin from PS1. He was known as Tyler in Japan & the continuity carried to PSII & so on. Trust me on this, or I wouldnt be named as such. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

3) The name Lutz isnt really a name. Its a title that basically translates as 'reverent one.' Its passed down through the generations to preserve the knowledge & essence (as previously mentioned). Noah, as some of us know, is the first known (or at least first recorded) Lutz. He can be credited with starting the tradition after receiving his final training from Master Tarzimal aka Master Tajima. Very easy for someone to become yet another generation of Lutz. Afterall, Lutz is but a small fragment of The Great Light.

4) Similar, to Lutz & the Great Light, Darkfalz is a fragment of The Profound Darkness. This is the reason they all look different: separate parts of the same equal & evil force.

PhruitBaskit
Oct 19, 2005, 09:43 PM
Lutz is that cast with the rifle, right?

Actually, Odin was known as Tyrone in Japan. PSIV's Tyler is written as "tairaa", while Odin's name is written as "tairoon." (Or was it tairon? Doesn't matter much) They are two seperate people who not only look completely different but have different names as well.
Sucks for you I guess.

This kind of post is considered a bump at PSO World and is against forum rules. Consider this your verbal warning.
