I dont come on This website much but i just wanted to put my views out.

I first started playing PSO when it hit the Game Cube with Episodes 1 and 2 about 4 or 5 years ago. Even though I didn’t play online much because I was not familiar with online gaming I still loved playing split screen with my nabers hood friends. Back in the Old days me and my friends would come over every Friday after school and play for a few hours until we all had to go home around dinnertime. Then they would come over the next day around 1 and play for a long time as well. These where great days. I enjoyed these days the most, even more then online.

When I got online up maybe a year later I got online. This was pretty fun to because when my friends weren’t around to play with I had online mode to play with and continue leveling my character and having a great time. It was the perfect game, it had split screen and online so the fun never ended. If you didn’t have online mode then you could play an offline mode with quests that were Unique to that mode of play. If you got bored of that mode u could do Battle mode which was the PVP mode of the game. Or you could do Challenge mode, which was a challenging mode of the game. Also challenge mode got rid of the level boundaries of the game because everyone started off at level 1.

Eventually I drifted away from PSO (it happens to a lot of games). But about a year ago I discovered PSU. I looked at it and I thought it was going to be the greatest game ever. I waited and waited and read every article about PSU on this site. I was really excited; I watched the videos and viewed the screen shots. It seems like it would never come out. Until that day in October. I went to the store and bought PSU for my new gaming computer that we got in the summer. I knew it was going to run great because our computer rips up games. I played it and I had a blast, u always get an awesome blast when you have been waiting for a game and obsessing over it in the magnitude that I was. But after a few weeks I stopped playing, it was just not that fun anymore. I know that there are a lot of you are probably saying, “You just hate PSU”!!! Well quite frankly I don’t hate it, I am more disappointed.

Turning the Clock back again, we should remember Episode 3. A lot of people didn’t like the game because they thought it ruined the series. They tried to change PSO into a card fighting game. It was a daring step and it was kind of fun. But not as fun as blasting creatures with guns and techniques and slicing them up with swords too. I didn’t like this one too much because I was very bad at it and couldn’t kill anyone online for jack lol XD. Well summoning it up, it ruined the series.

A month before I got PSU I read that you could use a hunters ID from PSO Blue Burst on PSU. So I said, “I guess ill just get it now so I can use the same account later”. The only reason I didn’t get PSO BB earlier is because I was a WOW addict. Well anyway I got Blue Burst and I loved it!!! Not only was it fun again, it had hot keys on the number keys, so I can neatly organize all of my techniques on it and go on a booma killing rampage. It also came with a new Episode for Previous PSO players to explore and feed their addictions. Not only was there a new and improved layout, better graphics, and more content. The people that played this game where the nicest people I have ever met. Even though I don’t play PSO Blue Burst (I was forced to get rid of it to get PSU) and PSU I still talk to them. Unfortunately they don’t play either anymore but oh well. Most of the people that I played PSO with eventually got PSU, but then got rid of it pretty fast. We all agreed that we didn’t like it as much as PSO BB

Then I went to a friend’s house yesterday and he had many videogames from all 3 consoles of the old generation. We decided to get as many old generation games as possible from his storage room and bring it to his video game room, (this kids loaded he has all 3 new consoles lol XD but he’s not spoiled, trust me). Anyway we were putting all of his game cube games on the shelf, he had like over 20. One of them I picked up was the old PSO. He wasn’t part of the group I used to play PSO with but I did bring over the memory card and play PSO with him a few times. He never went online but we were talking about how we both loved that game. Then, over a game of ping-pong in his basement I was telling him PSU and he thought that it sounded very dumb and not as good as PSO. Then we came up with the idea if they made a new PSO using some of the convinces from PSU and keeping some things from PSO, it would be an amazing idea.

I’m sure we all know Flaws to PSU and stuff like that, but I’m going to review some of my ideas for “The Perfect PSO”

---------------------------------------------
Systems avalible on
---------------------------------------------

I think this time around it should be available for Xbox360, PS3, and Computer (with Mac compatibility!!!!!!). I don’t think it should come out on wiis, I don’t hate wiis, I have one myself. I just don’t think it would go right on a Wii. Also before wrapping this subject up I think they should link PS3 and Computers again. It would work better because a PS3 is more Powerful then most average PC’s so it would work fine.

---------------------------------------------
Game Modes
---------------------------------------------

I think there should be the same game modes in PSO; you have your online mode and offline mode. For Offline mode you should have single player. But for the consoles they can finally get back SPLIT SCREEN!!!!!! I know a lot of you were upset for the fact that there was no split screen in PSU but there would be split screen again! =). Anyway the choices for game modes would be Good ol’ Normal mode (instead of doing the same boss over and over again like on PSU) Battle mode (PVP!! =D) and Challenge mode. For computers though I don’t think they could add LAN if they want. But I don’t care if they do that because I would never use that feature.

---------------------------------------------
Graphics
---------------------------------------------

Not much to say here, they should keep the Graphics from PSU, they were pretty nice. This could be a problem for low-level PC’s but people that play on a console or a medium to high-level PC. I have a good PC so I don’t have too much of a problem.

---------------------------------------------
Customization
---------------------------------------------

They should keep customization like they did in PSU, I don’t really care if they have a clothing store or not. The only problem is they shouldn’t have everyone looking like the same around low levels. So they should add some more shirts or hats or accessories when u start out at the character customization screen.

---------------------------------------------
Interface
---------------------------------------------

I think they should keep the interface from PSO BB. Wile you have the menu up you could see what your doing. Instead of in PSU you have a giant window above u. I think they should keep the numbered hot bar for the PC’s. This made things very neat and organized. For Hot bars on the systems they should use the D pad for hot keying things. Also to get more hotkeys instead of just 4 on a D pad, you could hold down maybe LB and RB on the 360 or L1 and R1 to go to different lists of hotkeys. What I just said might be a bit confusing but bare with me please lol XD.

---------------------------------------------
Fighting
---------------------------------------------

Well I would love if they took out linking attacks to weapons. That would save time and money of buying multiple weapons for different attacks. They should keep photon arts for weapons and stuff, but only some come avalible with a certain weapon. For example, Rising Strike is only avalible when u has a saber equipped. But when u equip a Sword (2 handed saber) u couldn’t use Rising Strike anymore but u could use a different Photon Art (I forget name for Sword Photon Art lol i'm not perfect you know = / ). Bullets were a good idea, keep those too, but instead it would be cool if you could switch out to different bullet types by pressing an icon on the numbered hot bar. Technique casting should work like it did in PSO BB. For the levels for Techniques should work like it did in PSO BB like how u could use a level 7 foie disc to replace your old level 5 foie. I like how in PSU u didn’t have to time your attacks; you should be able to do that as well. When you die, you should have the choice to go back to pioneer 2 or wait and get rezzed.

---------------------------------------------
Mags/ PM’s
---------------------------------------------

RETURN MAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD!!! I really want them to take out Partner Machinery and implant mags again. That means we could have Photon Blast back. But there are probably some of u that love PM’s. So there is also the idea of having both J.

---------------------------------------------
Drops/Loot
---------------------------------------------

I think the loot rules and system should be like PSO. It worked fine, Drops for weapons, armor, money, and discs. But if there were PM’s Implanted in the game then they could drop raw materials. But I don’t want an overwhelming amount of raw material drops like in PSU.

---------------------------------------------
Shops
---------------------------------------------

I think the shop system should work like old PSO. Simple setup of an item shop, weapon shop, armor shop, checker, and bank. But in the lobby there should be a room shop and a clothing shop. Also I think they should add an Auction House in the Lobby like in World of Warcraft.

---------------------------------------------
My room
---------------------------------------------

I think they should have my room in the game again. But instead of every room set up looking the same, you should be able to design the shape and location of your room. For Example instead of the rooms having the simple 2-3-room apartment. You could have different shapes. Like maybe a triangle shaped apartment, or a 2-story apartment? For more money u should be able to upgrade the size of your room. For the explanation of the locations. Maybe I want a view of space. Or maybe I could have a view of the bustling Pioneer 2. Or Maybe I could have a view of Ragol?



If you actually read all of this I thank you for reading my story and views. I actually do have a life and I don’t just sit around making huge posts like this. This is the first time I have ever created a post as long as this before. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day =D.

Ideas aren't bad, but I am annoyed to see the PSU spam crew in action again.

[Feelmirath]

Some good ideas, but I will say this:

---------------------------------------------
Drops/Loot
---------------------------------------------

I think the loot rules and system should be like PSO. It worked fine, Drops for weapons, armor, money, and discs. But if there were PM’s Implanted in the game then they could drop raw materials. But I don’t want an overwhelming amount of raw material drops like in PSU.

Seeing the general community on PSU, it's a good thing Set In Order and Set Random were implemented. It's a bit more of a selfish game

[Scejntjynahl]

Its a good idea. But I doubt it could be executable.
