Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 0 (Manga) Discussion (Chapter 5 out)

[loafhero]

Latest chapter is out.

Spoiler!

- Unlike what I had thought, there is someone to pick up the Clarissa from Little Sara despite the absence of the Player; Melphonsina. This, along with how Persona never appears to stab Matoi, further shows that Episode 0 is an alternate retelling of the game's "10 Years Ago" event" where neither Player nor Persona time travelled in and Melphonsina replacing Player in this scenario.

- Apprentice summons 2 brand new insect darkers for the fight but they don't really show anything worth mentioning about as their killed pretty quickly by Matoi. The fight itself is pretty hard to follow as some things are drawn so messily and certain scenes zooming in too close to the characters.

- Matoi gives an AWESOME slasher smile as she continues to fight Apprentice despite a handicap. Consider me scaroused!

- The mind-controlled ARKS part happens just like in the game but with Apprentice in her Hunar mode as she's using the mind control. Also, unlike in the game, the mind-controlled ARKS do land a hit on Matoi... multiple times. One even breaks her arm by stomping on it. Damn.

- Melphonsina joins in to help Matoi against Apprentice. I'm hoping that Matoi finishes off Apprentice the same way she did in the game cause that scene was pretty epic.

- So far, it doesn't seem likely that Matoi getting stabbed is gonna happen but I could be wrong. It would be interesting to see how things would have turned out if Matoi wasn't accidentally sent into the future, though.

Preview of quest 5 doesn't seem to deviate from how the things went with main character.

[loafhero]

I just checked out the preview.

Gettemhart with a horrified expression on his face with what appears to be Melphonsina's face on the right panel. Presumably, the next chapter will have Double appearing and killing Melphonsina as is in the game's lore.

The other preview looking like Matoi's collected Darker energy about to burst out. She's in horrible pain but its hard to tell if its from having a giant sword stabbed through her gut.

Melphonsina was killed by [Double]?

Where can I read this by the way?

Where can I read this by the way?

In EP3, as the Player is making inquiries on the "10 Years Ago" event in order to help Afin's sister problem, they learn from Zeno that Melphonsina was killed by a powerful Dark Falz that were a pair and acted very childishly.

You can read it here but for legal and money purposes, they only allow you to read the latest chapter until the next chapter release. You can't read the previous chapters in this site. You can try to find the other chapters in a different site but I've got no clue on any other sites that has this manga.

[zandra117]

why am I getting the feeling that melphonsina becomes the player due to xion hax

[loafhero]

What if the Player was a reincarnation of Melphonsina all along?

[oratank]

yeah thing kinda go to that way shina do all player role done in a game story hope we are not her reincarnation.

[loafhero]

It would explain why Gettemhart took an "interest" in Player in EP1 *shiver*
