How "big" is PSU?

[bassec]

I'm still a bit confused as far as the size of PSU's gaming world where you can fight. Is it 3x as big (since there are three towns as opposed to PSU's 1?) as PSO, or what? Can someone give me an idea?

Each city is at least 5x the size of the city in PSO, and including the starting base there are 4 major cities (one per planet/base).

You don't necessarily fight in these cities, but you deploy on a "mission" from them in which you then decide where to go for your killing pleasure http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

The actual cities are much, MUCH bigger. Maybe... 5x as big?
The adventureing maps are about the same size, however.

[bassec]

How many adventuring maps are there? Like, Forest 1 and 2 = 2 maps, Caves 1 2 and 3 = 3, Mines 123 = 3, Ruins 1234 = 4....so thats 12 adventuring maps. Same number in PSU then?

Well, each mission (that I've done) has three to four blocks in it, each consisting of a separate map, and some of the cities have more than one mission you can take, directly from the city... Then some of them have more than one mission you can take at the outpost you get to, after going through the first mission.

However, in PSO, there were several different layouts for each mission. In PSU, there only seems to be two, maybe three for each one...

[Kurushii]

there is 3+ layouts for each mission but there is more monster spawn presets than there is layouts. Atleast from my playing it seemed like that.

As long as it doesn't get monotone, I'm happy, and I'm sure it won't!!

[UltraDeeDer]

There are also the kinda pointless 'end mission' rooms and junctions which i hope in the full game will have more and more missions connected through them. They are all about as big as pioneer 2 from PSO, just a bit more empty.

[BluCast20xx]

yea theres about 3 blocks during the regular missions, and 4 blocks for missions with bosses (4th one being the boss match)

[BlueInfinity]

This is a fairly small game then... Is this going to last like a normal online game? I mean, I've never played a PS game but 12 areas sounds faintly small

[DarkShadowX]

The online game is pretty big so far, and remember there's only been like 2 updates to the JP game. They'll probably add more stuff as they update the game. But either way, I'm sure PSU will last a good while, hopefully as long as PSO, if not longer.

That about sums it up.

[DangerMuse]

It sounds big, just not massive.

Quality over quantity, I say.
