An awsome idea.

[Dre_o]

I remember in some of the older videos seeing armies of monsters attacking one another and then I got to thinking, How awsome would it be to have something like huge monthly attacks from enemy monsters on the cities that the players inhabit making for a huge battle containing every hunter on one giant battle field?

NOW, BEFORE YOU STRIKE ME DOWN WITH ALL THE TECHNICALITIES OF HOW THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN, EVEN IF IT CAN, JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION FIRST PLEASE!

Then, once you have answered my question, you may strike me down as much as you please.

Well, being that Im the 1st to reply to this, heres what Ill say. Provided that PSU follows the same PSO format of 'create a game & go from there', no, it wont be possible. Would it be a cool idea? Hell yeah! It would make it feel more like the old school days of EQOA where enemies would raid cities. I saw one such a plotline that Sony never followed through on. Its a shame, wouldve been cool!
But anyway, back on topic. If there was a way to work it so low lvl chars wouldnt get killed among their higher bretheren, it wouldnt be so bad. However, it wouldnt be possible for the GC, because its up in orbit. A space battle...now THAT would be something. Given that we can now ride vehicles, maybe we might have chase scenes (being chased or chasing someone). All types of ideas come to mind.

firstly, that would be sooo many levels of "off the chain" if they did that. 2, Odin gust made think... will player controlled vehicles mean the end of the Photon Chair Racing League(PCRL). Stephen hawking wont be happy to hear this!

I'm jsut certain they will atleast have several enemies to fight, in like "nightmare" quests.

Online quests? that would be cool.

[OdinTyler]

Yes, chase scenes would rock. We could be cruising on our lil...cruiser & suddenly hordes of monsters start chasing us. We have to dodge them & the insides & outsides of mountains & such. If we can atk from our vehicles (including that sand glider looking one), Im gonna be in PS heaven. Thats what I loved about PSIV. They brought back vehicles & you could now atk in them. If this is so, make the vehicles large enough so 1 person could pilot, another could be a gunner, etc. Have personal & group vehicles. Oh, the possibilities...
As for Nightmare type (& other online) qsts, expect that to be part of it. Sometimes you just wanna face seemingly endless hordes. I pity those poor fools. They dont know the ass-whupping thats coming to them!

Why online?

[OdinTyler]

I just found something interesting while surfing. Ill paste it here:

Hunters’ License to Drive

Adding vehicles to PSU seems like a stunning innovation for the series, but it’s actually a throwback to the olden days—even the first 8-bit Phantasy Star game had the ragtag band of warriors, mages, and magic cats piling into a hovercraft. Expect to mount various vehicles in both the online and offline games. “You’ll be able to ride futuristic motorcycles, hoverboards, and even large animals,” says Designer Shintaro Hata. “How you’ll use the vehicle depends on the mission—in some missions, each player might have a bike, but in others, all the online players will ride on one big tank like in Halo.”

I love the prospects of this! I was right! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Btw the source of this info is an interview Electronic Gaming Monthly had with the above designer.

Yeah, I'll miss the adrenaline of racing around a lobby at two miles an hour.

Anyways, vehicles are going to be more fun than watching midgets run track. Makes me wonder if you'll be able to take your tank and run over the people on their little bikes. Who wants a bike when you can drive the heavy artillery? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Rion772]

I think it would be AMAZING if there was like crowds of enemies and everyone was just cutting them down and getting killed around you and stuff. Like maybe you can charge with you're partisan like a lance and just plow you're way through...just an idea to go with an idea.

[Kent]

You know, I've heard of this idea for several different games, and have actually seen it in one of them (RO...), and haven't thought of it as being any interesting, any of the times. :/

[Dre_o]

My idea of how it would work is that it would end up being SOMETHING like Dynasty Warriors except with PSO mixed in and more monsters....ah...smells so good...

Uh oh, another Dynasty Warriors reference. I bet Phruit is smiling at the thought of this. I can just tell. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[PhruitBaskit]

Yes, hoards of monsters standing in a field waiting to be slaughtered, I really like the sound of that. It would be really fun to hold of a position while the enemies came pouring in. A wall of enemies followed be a wall of enemies would be really handy if you were using a mech gun or something automatic...

And what'd I say Tyler, Dynasty Warriors! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I guess I have a certain affinity for guns that fire faster than my car. But you have a very good point when you say "blow sh!t up!"

A nice giant bazooka induced explosion right in the middle of the group of enemies. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Yeah I know, maybe situations like that will happen in PSU? I doubt it although I hope for it. I just want a swarm of monster come through that canyon in that one picture someone posted a week or 2 ago.-

I agree...some of the backrounds in this game look amazing. Especially in the vids where you see the character in the field killing enemies you can see a vast, rich and crisp landscape...I can't wait. Fighting a ship-load of enemies in any play in the PSU backround's i've seen would be amazing.

[PhruitBaskit]

What the hell is wrong with the quotes in my last post?

On topic: I couldn't agree more, any landscape we've seen in PSU would make a kick ass battle field! All I can say is I can't wait.

Every picturesque flower covered field would look better with piles of burning dead monsters.

[Rion772]

Or something like that.

Phruit, ya sick bastid! LOL No wonder I like ya. You can see the lovely overt grossness in something like that & revel in it. No wonder why I like ya. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[PhruitBaskit]

I don't really like burning bodies, it's just that every landscape you see in PSU would look way better/funner as a war zone.

[OdinTyler]

Youre still a sick bastid...but thats ok, so am I! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
