Sonic Team pulled a fast one on us. They updated on Thursday instead. The update is for clothing, and it seems you can change Ethan's outfit. I imagine this extends to the network mode.

since a good deal of PSO players play offline, I suppose they figured they'll add at least a moderate amount of Customization, eh?

That was pretty sneaky of ST. Still, I'm glad you can change Ethan's offline clothing. I wasn't very fond of the white jacket.

If someone could extract images and provide some partial translations, I'll put together a new guide and news update later today.

These translations were provided by Navinator:
Page #1
White: You can freely change Ethan's outfit!
Green: There is a Costume shop in each city with lots of unique outfits!

After advancing to a certain part in the story, you can change Ethan's outfit by going to the costume shop and talking to the person there. Go to the fitting room and buy some new clothes!

Page #2:
White: You can freely change Ethan's outfit!
Green: Outfit changes will also reflected in event scenes!

The costume change will also be reflected in event scenes. You might be unsettled by the fact that Ethan isn't wearing his normal set of clothes. Also, since your outfit is not considered to be armor, it will not affect your defensive points. So, you can change Ethan's outfit as you feel like it.

Can anyone make out anything on that rightmost image? It looks like it provides some of the details related to changing clothes. Also, it maybe possible to make out the name of the currency that will be used in PSU.

Call it a hunch, but I'm pretty positive that currency in PSU will be called Meseta. Out of 16 games (including minigames, sidegames, and episodes) there hasn't been one where money wasn't called Meseta.

Not having Meseta in a Phantasy Star game would be like Final Fantasy not using Gil.

As for the offline clothing shop - it's a neat idea, but I'll probably never use it. I'm not really that fond of the base outfits - but I've never really been one to mess with the base design of characters either. Though I probably will make extensive use of it online.

Ethan's clothing isnt all bad. All a matter of taste. I do like that you can change the clothes. Whether you like the clothes or not, the same look DOES get boring. As for shopping in the East Village, the Village is cool. You just go to the shop you want. It isnt all alternative clothing. Lastly, meseta is very much in the game. Remember, I did play PSU. It comes in nice shining boxes. That will make everyone happy Im sure.

This makes me wonder that in off-line mode, will this be limited to only Ethan, or other party members as well?

And it also makes me think about this certain use in the on-line version of PSU. Surely we'll have a primary design we'll have, but in order to change our looks, it'll cost pretty much like clothing. In fact, this is something that is completely just awesome, imo.

Lets just hope we won't see another one of those "cross-dressing" stunts from Final Fantasy VII happen... *shudders* I'll never look at Cloud again the same way. X_x;;;

I'm glad that they're allowing you to buy clothes for Ethen but what about the other characters? I mean why just leave it to one character personally to have all the fun of shopping for clothes and leaving the others look out fashioned in the end? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Hopefully we'll also have a similer option for online aswell. I just hope if we do that we can atleast select the colours, the patterns and what the design looks like. I can so see the possibility of someone wearing a rare looking japanese school girl clothing set for their female character. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be meseta too. Still, I just like to verify information based on the latest screenshots. There is always a small chance that the in-game currency may change throughout the development cycle.

I was just wanting for someone to take a stab at that image since some of the more interesting/obscure information have come from pictures like that.

I dont understand the speculation of if theres meseta in the game. Its only been the monetary unit from the beginning, Ive said its IN the game (as I HAVE played it), & it always will be in the game (otherwise, how can it be PS?). As for the pics, theyre nice. Good to know clothes can be changed. Is it just for Ethan or the others as well?

I'm just saying there is a small chance that the currency may have changed since you played the game. There is a 99.95% chance it is meseta, but I would just like to know if it is still that based on the latest pictures. Afterall, things can sometimes change during a product development cycle. I just want to make sure our information is accurate. Part of that process includes checking small details like this. I'm not trying to cast any doubt on what you experienced during your gameplay session.

Hopefully they won't change to much. PSO had allot of good contents ripped out when it was in its production stage, allot of elements that would have made it fantastic were dropped out (like shadows the weapons made ala Soul Blade/Calibur series and those huts in the Forest.)

Meseta has always been one of the PS's main assets, afterall they did say they went back and looked at the original series and asked "what makes Phantasy Star what it is?" http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

OdinTyler
Dec 22, 2005, 11:18 PM
Yep. PS isnt PS without meseta. ST better keep it as we all know it to be. As for you Zandra, very cool that you wanna be a beast ranger. Id like to see the different combos ppl come up with. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Brus
Dec 23, 2005, 12:20 AM
Although I sincerely doubt it wont be meseta, but I'm thinking it might be a different currency for buying clothes maybe? In pso meseta was always spelled in katakana but the picture of the clothes changing shop wehre's he's buying the jacket (the picture with the menu) The currency on the top right looks nothing like meseta. Either the picture is way to small that it crushes the pixels and distorts them too horribley to even resemble the word "meseta", they're spelling it with a different writing system, clothes are bought with something else, or that isnt his currency at all.

I must say, it'd be pretty retarded if they had a ship named landale, a beauty man named lutz, an android named Fuwren but no meseta.

btw, where's dark force/falz? ahahah

For your consideration; i believe that Beast are not as effective with guns. Luckily, you won't be stuck with any one weapon type.

Good show to Parn and VioletSkye for the scans. For my part, i'm not surprised about the clothing changes in offline mode, since the architecture is right there in the online mode.

Oh.. I'm sure he's there somewhere. Elsewise - we may end up fighting against the Great Light.I know it's an idea that Tohru and Rieko kicked around a bit back when they were thinking up a sequel to PSIV. As in, the race which comprised the Great Light became cruel and apothetic in their agelessness and decide to torment the sentient life in the galaxy - returning to Algol.

Trivia: Originally, the initial idea behind PSV was to be about a decendant (or reincarnation) of Alissa Landale, named Neta, who meets up and travels with a 14th generation Lutz. Neta was a devout follower of the Great Light, and comes into a crisis of faith when the Great Light (or at least, a contingent of it) attacks Algol. Though, that would have just been the starting point - and PSV would have most likely taken Phantasy Star out of Algol anyhow, since Rieko and Tohru were ready for a change of scenery.

1. Technically, Darkfalz builds up strength during his 1000 year 'sleep'. Its not really sleeping but storing energy. Then, when the seal is weakened or opened, its ready to spread its usual brand of chaos.

2. Niki (I think it was you), you said, that beasts arent proficient at guns. Thats true. However, theyre still able to use em. Its probably going to be comparing say a RAmar (etc) to a non-ranger: all can use, not all are as skilled. So, beasts can use guns. My beast will be one of them. I wouldnt count them out with guns. Ill prove it too. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

3. I think meseta is written as an abbreviation in game. I forget if it was MES or MST. Something like that. I think it would be MES to not confuse it with MST (Mental Strength). So, to who noticed about the letters being 'crunched together', its probably an abbreviation you saw. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Maybe, on some planets, meseta isn't the only currency. In the asteroid belt were the black market operates, (return of Black Paper?), they use several forms of currency.

On Dark Falz/Force, he could be behind the SEED invasion. You know how the D sub-cellular infections would implant itself in anything living. The SEED could be an advanced, multi-cellular form of the infection.

OdinTyler
Dec 23, 2005, 12:45 PM
DM, I agree with you about SEED (interesting theory btw). SEED is somehow a spawn of Darkfalz. If its not apparent to everyone by now, it will be eventually. As for talk about non-meseta currency: NOT in Phantasy Star. You mentioned Black Paper & thats where Ill debate you. Remember that Black Paper are traders by name, not exactly called merchants. They trade their goods for what they wish.

"Black Paper smuggles android parts and sometimes human."

Disturbing as that quote is, it gives insight to what theyre really about. They traffic around these parts (& slaves too, as I once read) & naturally, want pay. Its not entirely impossible that meseta wouldnt be the only currency. However, its doubtful. Meseta is as much a PS staple as Darkfalz is.
I am glad you mentioned Black Paper because on 1 of the planets (Parum, I think?), there is some company responsible for android parts. It would be interesting to see BP emerge once more & that this company could be a front for them? Who knows. It just got me thinking that if BP could emerge, what other storylines would continue?

Espilonarge
Dec 23, 2005, 03:09 PM
But what if SEED isn't from Dark Falz or Dark Force? What if its something new...? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Sinue_v2

1. Technically, Darkfalz builds up strength during his 1000 year 'sleep'.

Well, technically, The Dark Forces and Falz's from the original series all died when they were defeated. They were merely extension into the copporeal world of a far greater power which could only manifest it's presence in Algol once every 1,000 years, giving it the apperance of ressurection.

It's like cutting the head off a Hydra - but you only see and fight one head at a time. It'll keep "reincarnating" until you finally manage to see the actual beast and slay it.

In PSO's case, Dark Falz was sealed away - so there isn't much he COULD do but rest. If you make the choice to believe Sonic Team and disconnect the series, then it would be possible to say that the Dark Falz in PSO does reincarnate and rests to gather power. Though traditionally, Dark Falz/Force's hiding has always been a way to manipulate people and events without being discovered - not to gain power.



On Dark Falz/Force, he could be behind the SEED invasion. You know how the D sub-cellular infections would implant itself in anything living. The SEED could be an advanced, multi-cellular form of the infection.

He very well could be. Though the link doesn't necessarily have to be through D-Cellular infections. The Profound Darkness (and in PSO's case, Dark Falz) has always had the ability to create minions - even in places such as The Rift where there is no biological cores to infect. The Chaos Sorcerer and Chaos Bringer (both old school PS monsters) are examples of this.

However, there also isn't anything to say that "D-Cells" weren't a part of the Profound Darkness/Dark Falz from the very beginning of the series. We just didn't know about them since the topic never came up.

Though in PSU's case, I would have to agree that the "D-Cells" in some form or another are back - simply because of the way SEED spreads, by "infecting" an area. Though they might not necessarily be D-Cells.

Dec 23, 2005, 03:32 PM
But what if SEED isn't from Dark Falz or Dark Force? What if its something new...?

It's possible, but I'm hedging my bets on a Dark Force connection due to the presence of Relics and Protectors. The scene in the opening movies shows automatons of "light" fighting against giant enemies which are designed in the traditional PS "dark" fashion. Much like the people of Pioneer 2 used "Photons" (light) to destory D-Cellular mutation (Dark).

The concept of Light vs. Dark is the core of the struggle between, obviously, the Great Light and the Profound Darkness. Though these two beings may not exist specifically in PSU's world, there will be some struggle between a power of light and power of darkness. I can't really see Sonic Team reinventing all new villans to replace traditional ones, considering how vital they are to the perception of the series. If they were going to do that, I would have thought they'd have done it with PSO - as they had the perfect oppertunity to introduce a new Dark villan with the destruction of the Profound Darkness.

Parn
Dec 23, 2005, 04:05 PM
It didn't help that PSO was rushed out to release despite it not being finished, due to Sega's future announcement three months down the road that they were going to can the Dreamcast. Ah, what could have been...

This time though, Sonic Team's had the opportunity to make a full game without rushing things... PSU's going to be amazing.

OdinTyler
Dec 23, 2005, 08:08 PM
Sinue, I was referring to when a Darkfalz is sitting in the wait, gaining strength. This is prior to some heroes rising up & killing it. Thats true. However, not all Darkfalzes were killed. Remember, the one in PSIII did not die. He spoke & said he would return in 1000 years. I know, its different from the others. But, its made clear that, that particular one did not die. Wonder where he went?

Sinue_v2
Dec 23, 2005, 09:36 PM
It's actually not quite clear what happens to the Dark Force in Phantasy Star III, due to the multiple endings. The idea that Dark Force aboard the Alissa III is the Dark Force you fight in Phantasy Star II (assuming Sean's ending of the Alissa III going back in time to Earth) is really not directly supported by the game. It's a connection that was made in the fan-community - not by Sega. Very plausable, yes, but not necessarily cannon.

Also, in PSIII's time - the Profound Darkness is already dead - yet the Dark Force there lives on. Since they are all really just one conciousness - it's possible that the heros of PSIII couldn't kill it since they didn't have a weapon like the Elysion. In a sence, the PSIII Dark Force would have ended up being the new Profound Darkness - albiet still very weak. This is supported since (going by the Japanese version's timeline) PSIII takes place 1,000 years AFTER PSIV. The original fight with the Dark Force took place shortly after PSIV durring the Devistation War between Orakio and Laya. If you make the leap of faith to connect PSO to PS - then this readily explains why Dark Falz simply will not die, and why he chooses a female host to focus his power (much like the Profound Darkness had a female form). Not to mention it explains why a Dark Falz (a minor demon, compaired to Dark Force) is so uberly powerful enough to have multiple forms.

The fact that he says he'll return in 1,000 years is really an expample of poor storytelling brought about by having a different team of writers and designers work on the series. Since all along, Tohru had the concept that Dark Force was just an exptension of the Profound Darkness (or at least, some other greater power) - but the PSIII writing team hadn't really consulted him -OR- Rieko... thus, not attributing the 1,000 year cycle to a weakening of the seal.

minor spoiler about epsidoe 3 story









the last boss in pso episode 3 appears to be the remnants of dark falz trying to regenerate(ep3 takes place 20 years after ep2) this is futher supported by the Endu story arc. i dont really know how to explain it but endu is the offspring of rico and flowen created to finish the job .for some reason they refer to it as the big shadow. this is theroy on my part but i think bernie is involved.i believe he is the father of kranz and kylria. i also believe that black paper is funding the arkz wich means that at some point thier MO changed. more theory but i think Sue is now in charge of black paper since a couple arkz mention someone named Susan and the color black. why else would kireek help elly during seat of the heart?


theres still some things that confuse me though
first of all

what the fuck is up with the leukon knights? they are appearently guardians of some ruins but the arcitechture of the area where you fight them suggests it is not the same ruins where dark falz was housed

teifu/viviana they are both memebers of the graves family. teifu being the butler(a replacement for blant i would assume. but why is viviana a fonewearl? matha was a human yet they both have pink hair

They were discussing PSIII, not PSO Ep3.

Besides, your description of events in Ep3 is wrong. It properly goes:

"Ep3 does not exist, because it is revisionist bullcrap and I've read better written, better thought-out and more plausible fanfic."

Don't even get me started on Endu. Yeah, he's cool and all, but what the HELL? I want some of ST's crack.

Though I do think I'm one of the few people who hates Ep3 not for the gameplay, which while I don't go out of my way for it I don't mind once in a while, but for the storyline. :-P

minor spoiler about epsidoe 3 story

the last boss in pso episode 3 appears to be the remnants of dark falz trying to regenerate(ep3 takes place 20 years after ep2) this is futher supported by the Endu story arc. i dont really know how to explain it but endu is the offspring of rico and flowen created to finish the job .for some reason they refer to it as the big shadow. this is theroy on my part but i think bernie is involved.i believe he is the father of kranz and kylria. i also believe that black paper is funding the arkz wich means that at some point thier MO changed. more theory but i think Sue is now in charge of black paper since a couple arkz mention someone named Susan and the color black. why else would kireek help elly during seat of the heart?

theres still some things that confuse me though
first of all

what the fuck is up with the leukon knights? they are appearently guardians of some ruins but the arcitechture of the area where you fight them suggests it is not the same ruins where dark falz was housed

teifu/viviana they are both memebers of the graves family. teifu being the butler(a replacement for blant i would assume. but why is viviana a fonewearl? matha was a human yet they both have pink hair

Since when did profound darkness exist in EpIII?
Getting Amplum Umbla mixed with Dark Force aren't you?

You can find a few of the Human female's hair styles there. They also included a few screenshots from the site update.
Here's a rundown of the clothing shop screen.

Starting at the top left, I believe we have the name of the shop. In this case, Miya-B. In the official site update, another shop was called G's Mode. Next window down just says "purchase clothing." Next down shows the name and price of the clothing set you selected. Initially it probably shows a list of clothes to choose from. From there, the next window down looks to be for color customization of the selected clothing. And finally, the last window is just a description of the selected clothing. In this case, we've got something called the "Seya Gear" vest set which was designed by Mutan.
