Fahros
Jun 17, 2009, 10:42 PM
Just taking the time out to introduce myself and say hello to everyone here! (Before I even get started, if I did somehow miss the correct area to do this in, please by all means move it there, and I'm sorry.)
I've played around with Phantasy Star since my early childhood, and I'm taking the time to get back in to Phantasy Star Universe now. Me and a friend of mine decided to pick it up, and we'll be playing a lot over the summer. I've played PSU once before, but I never got too high level (50 or so I believe...) so I'm still sort of a noob. ;)
For starters, my character name is going to be Fahros, and I'm going to be on the Xbox 360 servers. My gamertag is "NFS Fahros" (without the quotes of course) if anybody wants to friend me up for some PSU action. The time I played PSU before wasn't on my 360 though, so I'll be starting from scratch.
I've been out of PSU for over a year or two now, I could really use some help, if you guys don't mind at least a couple questions:
1. It seems new classes have been introduced? I want to roll Force this time around. If any of you could tell me what the highest burst damage Force archeatype class is at the moment, I'd really appreciate that, as I want to go with that. I always play the burst oriented caster in MMO's I play, so might as well do the same with PSU.
1-B. If anybody has a link to any good guides for said class mentioned in question 1...I could really get in to a guide right about now. I'm not sure what spells to get, what spells to avoid, what to level up first, etc, etc. Hell, I still need to be refreshed on what elements are strong vs what, if I remember right this game had a sort of backwards element system compared to what I'm used to.
2. I was playing the PSU demo today, and I remember being able to buy a open shop from the room decorator vendor, but in the demo it wasn't there. There's still player shops isn't there? I'd be a suicidal panda if there wasn't. Hopefully it just wasn't there because it was...the demo.
3. Speaking of player shops, how's the economy now? Back when I played you could sell photons for some decent pocket change, hah. Still the case? Harder to make money now? Easier?
4. Oh, something I'm really worried about. I played on PC last time I played, and it was really easy to just type to people. On 360, how do most people communicate? Does seriously everyone go out and buy one of those little text pad adapters for the Xbox 360 controller? I guess it's not bad, only like $30, but meh...I'd hope most people just communicate through voice so I could avoid the 30bucks sink, but then again that'd probably get annoying, with all the kids playing this game...
What else what else...
I think that's it right now, I might edit more in later!
But yeah, gonna be making a brand new character, so if you want to play some let me know, me and my friend will be getting started right away. I'm downloading Ambitions of Illuminous as I type this.
Oh...on a side note...
Did this website get re-skinned lately? I remember being a member of some PSU forums a while back when I played...Similar to these but looked completely different. Also my old account's gone so makes me think these are really just completely different forums, but the search item function was almost identical. Hrmmmm.
Anyway, seeya all around, and thanks in advance for any answers/advice!
