Who here think's PSZ has a lot more depth than what it lets on?

see topic title


i ask because as i post and lurk (lolwut) on these forums, i keep coming over random tidbits that dont seem to be common knowledge and geniuenly new.

i thought this game was like a PSO Lite, but i'm starting to think different.

Don't get me wrong. It doesnt have all the depth and potential of PSO, but i think there is more to this game on what I initially let on, despite i already figured this game had some depth.

i'm guessing i gauged it incorrectly and not deep enough.

does anyone share this sentimate?

Well yeah there is an incredible amount of esoteric detail that isnt in the manual that people either have to learn through trial and error or previous PSO knowledge...but yeah I agree haha.

Is has plenty of depth, indeed!

I would say the fact that I don't understand everything - even after 20 hours of gameplay - proves this. At least to me.

What would a JP PS Zero player have to say that would be so detrimental to your point? :l

I agree. As a seasoned PSO, even PSU veteran, a lot of the basics of this game will get picked up on, but I feel that this is one of those games that would have benefited from a longer instruction manual for new players.

This, definitely. Pop over on the Gamespot PZ0 forums, and prepare to be in shock. About 50%+ of the people there haven't ever played a Phantasy Star game in their life.

And back on topic, this game is huge for being in such a small cart.

i do agree that there is much more to this game than it lets on.

game wise im still finding new controlls (and i JUST used the photon fortafier guy)

plot wise im trying to debate if it ties in to PSO at all. (@tm im thinking it may come before it)

It comes well after the story of the Pioneer Project (PSO). You'll figure it out for yourself soon enough.

REALLY! ive already beaten it and it didnt really say anything about that.

i assumed prequal because the pioneers were fleeing a dying planet (and the planet in zero is sort of dying) and also they called the planet earth (not ragol) so i assumed it all happened after earth died and they moved on.

EDIT: also because the weapons look older and more western. (less cyberpunk more steam)

They've had the game for practically a year longer so they probably can possibly know a lot more, or probably everything and disagree with me.

When you're more knowledgeable, you can properly gauge something better, so there is the chance that a JP player could come in and say, "No. What US knows now is almost everything already." etc etc.
