Aqualic-Ex, the suspense is killing us. :)

To the mods: About the Phantasy Star Ø database, will it only be put online at the time the game is released in North America (fall) or is it planned for...

Interesting list.

I'd say that some of your points have more to do with personal taste. Some of your positive points are negatives for me and vice-versa.

e.g.:

"Removal of Ultimate Mode"
...

I was a little afraid of that. Hopefully, there are no "Escort NPC and keep him alive – Fail if partner is killed" quest.

Q.: Non player characters A.I., how good is it? Are they able to make themselves useful or are they little more than an extra target for enemies? How would you compare it to PSO and PSU?

Nice. More than enough as far as I'm concerned.

I'd buy that… but it will be heartbreaking restarting a level 100 character to level 1…

…Unless they find a clever way to move a character from a v1 DS cart to a v2 DS cart. But I doubt it would...

You're right. We'll make sure to affix the proper label in the future:

A reward? I was thinking "punishment" myself. ;)

The answer probably resides in your own question:

Since putting an RGB for hair color would appear to be the obvious choice, yet we are limited to pick between 3 predefined colors, chances are an...

Unless they've changed the available options since the public demo, the following options should be available for casts.:

Casts:
Head Parts [4]
Body Color A [3]
Body Color B [5]
Body Color C...

A few more here, probably regarding the ability to download Visual Chat pictures drawn by famous people and PSØ in-house designers.

Nice. I like that cast's head and color scheme. We've seen so little of Casts so far, except for that RAcast we're seeing il all the screenshots and videos.

Almost nothing here but I'm posting the link for Thoroughness' sake. Some of those had only previously been seen in low quality scans or video grabs.

Allow me to quote wikipedia on this topic: "Video games are graded in Famitsū by a panel of four video game reviewers. Each reviewer gives a score from one to ten (ten being best). The scores of the...

Yup. ;)

Excellent. This often makes or breaks a game for me.



Hmmm… I'll have to try it myself to see what they mean by this. I would have liked a comparison to PSO.



Are they talking about the...

You should take early reviews with a grain of salt. To put things into context:

PSU: Famitusu: 88% – Metacritic average: 64%
PSO: Famitusu: 88% – Metacritic average: 85%

We'll have to wait for more reviews. Famitsu reviews often differ considerably compared to the average score given by other reviewers.

PSU is a good example:

PSØ: Famitusu: 83% - Metacritic...

This is very good news.

For reference purposes:

8 / 8 / 9 / 8 (33/40) for Phantasy Star Zero (NDS)
9 / 8 / 8 / 8 (33/40) for Phantasy Star Portable (PSP)
9 / 9 / 9 / 8 (35/40) for Phantasy...

Welcome and make yourself at home. Love the clean design of your site and the topics you cover. I'm also a big dragon warrior fan by the way. Consider yourself bookmarked.

Interesting weapon indeed. I should point out that you probably won't be able to dodge roll while charging the slicer since the dodge command cancels a charge attack.

You can find a translation for the scans here.

There could also be more than 1 city. We've seen nothing that would confirm this but in some translations, the word city was plural.

Some examples: "Cities have these underground shops where you...

I doubt very much that we'll see level capping is PSØ.

I think that level capping (and uncapping) is little more than a "trick" they use to bring back some players who had stopped playing. (i.e.:...

It's pretty much all copy-pasted info. The error must come from the source material. I'd like to fix it. If somebody has the definitive word on how techs work for Humes, please point it out. In the...
