What do you miss from previous titles?

[ShadowDragon28]

Challenge Mode.

A Community that enjoyed the game instead of complaining..

yep. agreed.

other than those, I miss Rati, Tapas, and Agastya mags, Double Cannon, Lavis Cannon, Meteor Cudgel, Ruby Bullet, Red Sword, Sealed J-Sword, the black with dark grey trim Humar suit.

PSO: Every tech was useful (except Gibarta, that always sucked)
Tons of weapons, epic boss battles
Good feel : P

Universe: Nifty technic effects, though everything else about technics was fail beyond reason

Was NOT a fan of the entire universe phase, though PSP2 and PSP2i did everything they could to make it decent (and it was decent/good).

What i truly miss from PSO:
- Overall atmosphere
- Interface and weapon switch palette. Those were flat-out perfect and easy to use, they're just so bad now.
- Memorable music
- Rare monsters. srsly.
- Pioneer 2, each area having its own music
- Static map layouts
- Special attacks
- Swords having a large AoE, Sabers and Handguns (gunslash does not count as a replacement)
- That sound when your weapons whack a monster, feels like plastic in PSO2 and it annoys me to no end
- Hunter actually being a fun class to play
- Droppable mags, with colors independent of the costume
- Not being limited to a class level
- Small-sized lobby, without lag whatsoever
- Rafoie visual. whoever designed it on PSO2 should be slapped in the face
- Level/Class-based armors, units and shields. Our current rear/arm/legs/sub units system is complete crap, I despise it.
- Symbol chat
- Gogo ball lobby
- Fluids. Give me my trifluids back.


PSU:
- Rare monsters. srsly guise.
- Block warp cubes all over the place
- Shotguns and crossbows
- Wands/Madoogs, would be a nice addition for us Forces

PSO: C-mode, Section ID's + Drops based on them, EP2 Areas, TrickTrack, Rati (best mag period, looks awesome in any color) Real Nei Claw (they better not make this a frigging Wired Lance...) and Rare mobs that give more exp and acctually drop unique rares and spawn more rare. The current "rare" rappies are shit
PSU: Dagger of Serafi/Halp Serafi, Rare missons, PM to take with you in combat, liked it much more then Mags TBH.
PSP2/i: Custom weapon types per class, rainbow rares with unique sounds (though I think they will return)

That's all for now

[Pointy Cat]

PSO:
- C-mode
- C-mode
- C-mode
- C-mode
- Oh and c-mode. If PSO2 doesn't eventually get this then it'll be a failure in my eyes.
- And like others have said a grinding system that isn't shit. Sure maybe PSOs grinding system was too easy, but PSO2s is just bullshit. If I wanted to gamble I'd go and do it.
- Better quests such as Towards the Future and Endless Nightmare. Missions/quests in PSO2 haven't felt like anything special - yet. I'm hoping Sega will improve things here as the game gets more complete.
- Soccer lobby? Haha not really.
- Being able to equip ?SPECIAL WEAPONS? to see if they were worth tekking. Sure meseta was worthless in PSO so we would do it anyway, but it would be nice in PSO2 if after a big pile of mobs a special weapon dropped and it was possible to see if it was actually worth tekking.
- Telepipes! I still find the telepipe system in PSO2 to be weird. Plus it was fun to pipe troll.
- Rare mobs were something to care about. Rare Rappies in PSO2 don't seem very... rare. Seeing a Pal Rappy or a Red Slime was always a sort of big deal. Plus the several other types there were.
- Being able to use a music disc mid-level and force everyone to listen to that NiGHTS song again!
- Bosses that have phases. Not all of them had it but most of them did. Also extra phases for harder difficulties.

I could keep going here but I'll leave it at that I guess. Others have made good points too.

PSU:
- Interesting class system.
- Being able to level techs and abilities.

Not much else. PSU was a bit of a let down for me, compared to what I wanted anyway.

The rest:

I never got into the portable PS games much. I bought most of them but ehhh portable gaming doesn't do it for me.

Edit: I need to say C-Mode again. It was amazing. PSO2 simply NEEDS it.

PSO: Olga Flow and Dark Falz

'nough said

ALSO PSO: I miss how you could just go into Forest or Caves or w/e and just run around having fun and looking for rares that way. I don't really favor how easy it is to complete the Free Field missions. You don't really feel like you're exploring more like getting to the boss in 3 minutes and killing him in 2.

-How each block changed how the lobby looked, I thought that was really cool.

[Ce'Nedra]

Olga Flow in Infinity was ok ish but not the same as in PSO.

As long we get no fish-style-Dark Falz like in PSU (which was basicly just a De Rol Le reskin) >_<

[Hrith]

From PSO:
-All content available, especially Lv200.
-Rares actually findable.
-Fixed map layouts for missions.
-Challenge mode.
-Great music.

From PSU:
-Levelling up PAs instead of finding them.
-Dozens of different lobbies.

From PSP2:
-Nothing, game is an example of what not to do again.

[HFlowen]

I'm kinda surprised people miss leveling PAs. That was some seriously grindy shit in a game full of other grindy shit. Different tastes it seems.

[TheAstarion]
