That, my good Foxix, is borderline hilarious. Oh, and the article's a nice read, too. Only through with the first page, but it seems interesting, anyway... >.>

The good thing is though even with al the problems he encountered it sounds liek he had a good time. It's good to see more positive articles regarding PSU. Hope it becomes very succesful and ST keeps up the awesome support they have now.

Ya read it last night, thought it was funny it happened to him, lol body snatching.

Not a bad read, seems the writer enjoyed the game, hopefully more positive and indepth articles to come from IGN.

1. They said you can have a max of 5 characters? Hope that's not a typo.

2. Users can't set prices of items in their shop, which is nice because if people could set prices, you'd see rares being sold for kajillion meseta http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I'm mixed on this topic..
After 5-6 years of PSO(online-series)++++, they still can't get it right.
It's to be expected when a game is released...
But what makes me contradict myself is they're taking steps to fix it, instead of blow it off like they usually did.
Hopefully when we(US) get ahold of it, we won't find more expolits and have to have a roll-back.

I support roll-backs, down with cheating.

1. Probably. In one of the images they show, there are only four character slots.

2. I don't think that's right. I've clearly seen images where a user is being asked to set a price for an item in their shop, with the number starting at 00000000, as I recall. If you couldn't set prices for your shop, the feature would be essentially useless, as you could just sell to NPCs anyways.

EDIT: The percise sentence used is "Items are priced by your partner robot." That could potentially be misleading, seeing as it could mean that you "tell" the price to your PM and it then sets the price, but would most likely be read as saying that your PM sets the price independently of you.

five characters? I hope its true, although I would prefer six since its easier to divide by two or even three(for those with siblings like me)

Indeed, i do think It's a typo. Not that I really care, I won't be using that many characters anyway.

Its a typo guys. The import players can tell you that. 4 characters, dat's it.

I wish it was five characters...I plan on making four already...a fifth could help me with my expiramet character...

I read the article a little while ago. I'm surprised to see Anoop (the writer of the article) is pleased with the game considering in an earlier article he said he didn't reall care for PSU. That goes to show you how some solid game design and extra polish comes together. PSU most certainly tops PSO in every way.

Yes, you set your own prices for your shop.

Wow, that was awesome.. Lol.
Poor Anoop XD.

But still, this shows how a few months of polishing can do to a game, thank god we holded our patience and waited o.o"

I'm glad to see IGN giving this game some hype instead of overrated hype for FF12 like many other sites do.
The body-snatching has made worried a little bit, I just hope it's fixed before NA release.
