Arika is Offline

Yeah, back then I wasn't working. I have a job these days, so I'm not on as much as the past.

Oh noes! Someone is poking me! *poke arika*

Oh my god that trophy is awesome. :O

His avatar.

Have you seen the icon? Don't you know who that is?

Yup, it is.

There's enough people who are stronger than him but that would spoil the fun.

I doubt there is a way to cheat in SAO.

That villain group couldn't have been much higher than level 50. Kirito was around 30 level higher. There are plenty of games where if you are 30 levels higher than another player, you will be overpowered no matter if 7 of them attack you. I don't see how that's abnormal.

As for bad method... maybe, we don't know.

And no, he doesn't always help people. The only time he helped someone was in Black Cat guild's case. That was the first and last time he joined a guild because he wanted to try it out. The case in episode 1 doesn't count either way as he'd be warped to the Plaza along with the other 9999 players. You don't expect him to start grinding the very moment he gets back, do you?
As for episode 4, he helped Silica but his actual intention was to look for the villains which is why he has been absent from the lead group for a few days. Helping people is a side product. Or rather than helping, you could say save people by jailing villains. Besides, we saw him "help" 3 times until he reached level 78. That's not "always".

You may be right because SAO isn't the newest thing either though we don't know for sure how much the author is outdated. Btw. even TERA uses the outlaw system (red name) so while it might be old, it's not like it died out.

What's this? I browse the forums for the first time in aeons, but I don't see any Phasion event taking place? Don't tell me you have gotten lazy without me around?

Just kidding of course. I am sure you have something big up your sleeves for the imminent future. I am not worried about you doing fine, I always admired your strong will, after all. You are meant for something big.

...
I mean that. So make sure not to disappoint your sister.

Oh
I was curious if I could find more players that might have seen me, and if my computer works well for PSO2, I'd want to know where I can find em.

That sig of yours... JP part is Infinity, yes?

Won it during the last fanart contest actually. :3

Okay I will let you know.

ARIKA-CHAN I need your good luck for the caves to find Adirou!

As far as my art style go... Hmm.... A web comic called Megatokyo what inspired my current manga style that I'm experementing with. The way he does a pencil style shading that gives everything he draws an airy feel that leaves ALOT of room for detail. He also put alot of Otaku-like stuff in it. I plan to do the same, like putting geeky stuff that's VERE popular in japan, like cellphone charms and references to anime. Something like lucky star does.

The background and atmosphere I want to put into it is like a mix of .Hack and Ghost in the Shell. Giving that fantasy sci-fi epic, because Phantasy Star is more than just a game.

Character design and everything, I want to be a bit like Full Metal Alchemist and Bleach. I've always admire Hiromu Awakawa's and Tite Kubo's style when it comes to the way that they draw. If you can find some illustration books by those too, then you'll see what I mean.

Also keep in mind that I wanted some Ecchi elements in my fanfic, but tasteful ecchi. Besides my characters apperance, the sexier things are things that happen for a reason. Stuff that cuts to the chase out of nowhere just make me laugh.

But you are the guy I wanted to turn to for concept. You seem to know what makes anime good and interesting and how to avoid cliches. And the team I want to put togethe rare teams that are willing to help. I already asked Rock if he wanted to help, but he said he might do cameo art and not actually do most of it, or whatever. Maybe I'll ask him again after we get something of the ground.

I was thinking of what to call our team. I was thinking "Brave Hearts". Its the name of the mini-guild that my main characters are apart of. We can think of a better name if you had suggestions."

If you had any ideas Arika, the feel free to chip in. I actually wanted to work your character in.

Ok now. I'll post to you my fanfic concept. I'm just copying and pasting what I put on Q's profile.


"Ok, I told you today that I would put up my universe fr my PS fan fic for you to look at.

My PS fanfic is heavily based of off .Hack. It's a sci-fi shonen adventure with some Cyberpunk thrown in.

My fanfic takes place in the near distant future as an alternate timeline to our universe (Imagine that its the year 2312 instead of 2012, but we still have the games, media, and real world people we have today, just more scientifically advanced society. Like Ghost in the Shell)

Phantasy Star is just a super-popular virtual reality MMO. (like .hack) And even though people are just playing a game, there are things happening in real life like cyber crime and hacking that they have to be wary of. Because the VR system or firmware that Sega uses for PS is pretty much the same that is used with every other computer in the world, and society is pretty much dependent on this type of computer. Because of this, players are trying to enjoy the game while at the same time, end up being affected by all these problems. Because the game is kinda a target due to it's huge popularity, especially in Japan. Because of this, Sega's GM's, mods, and admins serve not only as a way to watch the game for bugs or problem players but act as a sort of police force against these cyber criminals in the game.

So aside from just playing the game, my characters are also dealing with a group of net terrorists that formed an underground guild in the game of PS, and also some AIs in the game's programing that develops a life of its own, or game programing that acts as it should. (For example I wanted to make a "Talking Monsters" arc.)

The time line varies for just about all the games that came out in the series. It spans from PSO BB (or all the versions of PSO 1), Ep. 3, PSU, Some PSZ (even thought I haven't played it), PSU and PSO2.

I had the series all planed out in my head. They were going to be called "Phantasy Star___'any word that's a synonym for Forever'"

Phantasy Star Unlimited <---My current project that takes place in PSP2:i
Phantasy Star Forever
Phantasy Star Undying
Phantasy Star Everlasting
Phantasy Star Limitless

Each of these stories will deal with a different "arch" that I have. But that's all I can think of now."

Can of course.

Can I just spoiler box it? I'll go do that for now.

-Wayu

I'm usually on late at night (around 2am) during the weekday and anytime on the weekend.

I just joined ship 2 last night. I have yet to join a team. I can join your team if I can.
