“Phantasy Star” Timeline Theories and Connections…

[Genoa]

First off, I was extremely unsure where this particular topic belonged...
But I figured since it isn't exactly confirmed information regarding connections with multiple Phantasy Star Series titles... and that it was mostly information gathered from fans of the series... ... yeah

Anyways, I found this pretty interesting Article while messing around on Google+

http://www.anjelsyndicate.org/2011/07/12/phantasy-star-timeline-theories-and-connections/

(Btw, I don't know if this article has been brought up in a PSO-World forum before, I tried searching for it for a while)

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with anything previous to the PSO series... I did a bit of research here and there. It seems very tricky when it comes to the Japanese timelines they give vs. the English timelines....
But a pretty nice theory on the series connections if I do say so myself.

[BIG OLAF]

All of that is pretty much what I've always thought, oddly enough. Well, not in that much detail, but my general theories have been about the same. There's a lot of context clues in each game that support a much larger connection within all the games than are originally let on.

The only thing I disagree with is the theory of the Universe series simply being a Virtual Reality simulation. That's just goofy and absurd.

[blace]

Sounds like people are trying to off the Universe series. If it was VR, then they definately have some highly advanced tech. What are they using as a catalyst to look into it then? Dark Falz like they did with C.A.R.D. technology?

[Genoa]

yeah the Universe VR theory was pretty trippy, I didn't exactly agree with that. But who knows ;_;

[RenzokukenZ]

So, in simpler terms, the orbital nature of Rykros connects everything...

Interesting.

[Dragwind]

Whether how accurate this is or not, it's proving to be an extremely engaging read for me. Excuse me while I relax with a cup of tea and indulge in some fine reading.

[Akaimizu]

I doesn't answer all questions, but it definitely puts a lot of theories in the same place. I guess anyone trying to make something based on the mythos, will have those theories to play with in determining which, he or she, would make canon for their story.

They did their research, even if some of the reading is confusing, you can't fault the writing. Just the source game material. This writing does seem to do its best to turn such confusing cross-timelines into something that makes sense.

[Alucard V]

How odd. I Rykros would have been better explained with the use of sub-space. For all we know the Gurhal system is a natural sub-space hub.

Even if its the Rykors from the "Dark Dimension" and the Ragol fields are just a mix photons, ether, and psychokinetic energy. A powerful mind sending a warning form a vary bleak place. Maybe even her mind. I find it would make more sense for me.

[AzureBlaze]

The time line is incorrect in several areas. The games state it, whoever wrote it missed a few sentances in the games.

(Jeeves! put all my meetings on hold...someone is wrong on the internet! ASDFGH!)

It is stated in PSU a few times that Rykros was made by the Ancients (of Gurhal).
There is no way it can be any of the other planets or a thing journeying to Ragol and such, because it's a manmade item which became a hive. It has always been in the Gurhal system.

Actual Factual Rykros:
The ancients built the confinement units on each of the planets. But to do a BIG confinement, one enough to get ALL the SEED, (3 planets) planets of Moatoob Neudaiz & Parum had to align in a certain way.
This didn't happen OFTEN enough to save them from the seed & they knew it
so...they built a 4th planet as a "Wild Card" to create another alignment sooner (all it takes is 3 planets, if you build a 4th, you're upping your chances)
That's why there's confinement towers on Rykros
Why didn't you see Rykros earlier?
The SEED took it over and made it into a hive, then hid it with a distortion*

The games tell you all this if you talk to everyone

*This implies it's smarter than a force of nature that it's made out to be. Ex. Tornados don't creep up on people.

Where does PS 0 fit?
They got it wrong too, because they didn't pay attention enough to pszero, either that or they missed talking to enough of the guys in it.

0 is AFTER Pioneer 2, not before it, and they tell you so in the dialogue.
When you come into 0, the place is called Earth and Moon.
They tell you later that it was renamed after the GreatBlank. What was the name before?
Coral & Arca.
What about the newmen on the moon/arca?
I thought Pioneer was because the planet was going down hill due to war?

It was going down hill.
But as you know, the Pioneer project was CORRUPT from almost the beginning. An asteroid with dark material on it hit Coral. The scientists used it to make MAGs (with formless photon blasts, not the creatures you see in PSO) The bottom line is the governments / 10 Nation Alliance wanted to find this stuff. It was powerful. So they sent out probes. Ragol came back positive, so they put the spin doctors to work on it, and declared it "Most suitable new planet" Launch P1 with most of WORKS on it & the best scientists to harness this stuff. They get nuked once P2 gets there.

TLDR: The government war machine wanted dark as a wep, they used saving people/moving off planet as the excuse to go up and get it. "Ragol was not an accidental choice".

PSO & PSO Ep 2 took place, CARD started once Falz died/killed enough damm times, along with Olga. Yadda yadda GERM died too. IMPORTANT: Pioneer 2 & Ragol declared independence from Coral and got mad. Coral said w/e.

Now, if you stayed on Coral.....?
With WORKS mostly gone/dead etc, and the "Unruly Settlers" basically flipping the homeworld off the Coral people gave up on trying to get off planet. Instead they built MOTHER to try and solve the problems. She declared them the problem, and nuked everyone, including androids. She then perfected newmen up on the moon. Notice how they don't just drop dead like flies, like Sue says in PSO? Why newmen? You can tube grow them, and they're not filthy humans. They're also not AI like androids so they're not going to outsmart you later, because fleshies are easy to indoctorinate if you get them from birth on up. Look at Reeves in 0.

TLDR: Coral abandoned the pioneer project after it predictably failed, built mother to solve their problems, and she Great Blanke'd them back to the stone-age.

So WHY O WHY does PSO stuff keep showing up in PSU (including people, weps, simulations, VR programs & monsters)?
The dark/the seed/fulkis/fakis/falz, take a guess. Notice how everything PSO always shows up in a relic, in a dark area or something similar. Infinity will likely explain this but we need an actual translation of all the people you can talk to. Without an Eng release of Inf...will we EVER know why PSO stuff keeps showing up?

*Other than 'fan service' / because people want it to

That's the only reason they need, bro.

[Alucard V]

Maybe were looking at this the wrong way. I mean were looking at the differences not looking at whats alike.

This being Dark Falz and the Profound Darkness which was sealed in another dimension. Even then small peaces seep though. It wants out it's tried to force it's way out the front 4 times over and failed. So it may be that it's look a back door.

Perhaps the ancients of Ragol and Gurhal have the technology to give it such a back door.

This may sound newmen of me but the answers we seek may lie in the the darkness.
The space between.

[MaximusLight]

Okay boys (and any women that are floating around), let's brush up on our lore a little bit.

First off, before any other considerations let's lay down some rules:
1. Let's only look at what the games say specifically about the story/timeline so we don't read into it
2. Let's note connections or references but unless there is some in-game or developer confirmation let's not draw conclusions from it to keep things simple.

That said first thing is that the author is trying to link the history of the games with the actually Real life time line, which is a bit silly because even if it is true, there's not a lot of significance to it. Sure we get some background on why the humans got there and became that way but that's incidental to the story. So for simplicity, again, less just say what we know:

- The four original games fall in a timeline together and are directly connected:
>>> PS1 -1000 years- PS2 -1000 years- PS4
(PS3 is either 1000 years after PS2 or PS4 depending on translation, that's up for debate and I'm fuzzy on it as it is but it is mentioned directly in PS4 so it is connected but is not confirmed to the best of my knowledge which ending is the "right" ending if there is one at all or if it lines up with the other series, it's up in the air)

- PSO series
>>> Ep.1 - Ep.2 - Ep.4
(Ep.3 is the cards and I didn't play it at all as it is I can't say if it's even relevant, thoughts?)
(also I haven't played ZERO, can someone fill that one in?)
Note: Definite References to the originals but no direct confirmation as of yet, I believe hence why it's separate.

- PSU series
>>>> History of Gurhal (http://psupedia.info/History_of_Gurhal) Ep.1 - Ep.2 - Ep.3 - PSP - PSP2 - PSP Inf.
Note: They make strong direct references to PSO series and it's highly likely that they are connected but it's not confirmed... yet, so for now they are separate.

Okay now that I've said that, what are the thoughts working with that framework and what can people say about the games connections for sure? I like to read and know the story that happens in my games more than anything else because I treat RPG with developed stories like books (ask me about Warcraft sometime, I've played and own the original).
That said I'm not perfect so I know I make mistakes and I want to confirm this since I did my research when I got into PSU but didn't actually play the games (still youtube videos and the internet do ya some good).

What I will also say is the theories involved usually come from trying to link the three timelines together, like, in the original series PS3 is horrible ambiguous but there is confirmation that it links with the other three at the very least but it may tie with PSO, just no real confirmation. Likewise, there are not just direct references between PSO and PSU, PSU actually shows places that are identical to PSO without explanation... so far. However, for now to the best of my knowledge everything really specific beyond what I mentioned is theory and should be taken with a grain of salt, even what I do mention as connections between the series is pretty fuzzy so I wouldn't take it as anything other than that.

Also for reading:
www.phantasy-star.net (http://www.phantasy-star.net/l) Including Entire Game scripts, elsewise search youtube as that is likely easier to digest. ArtificialRaven is one that I found.

Hey all,

I am the one who wrote this article back in April, so I'm glad some of you found it interesting and enjoyed it. I'm not really one to sit around debating things on forums, so I decided to write a follow-up article about some of this on that site as well as my blog:

http://www.anjelsyndicate.org/2011/08/21/phantasy-star-timeline-revisited/

And:

http://allahweh.wordpress.com/2011/08/21/phantasy-star-timeline-revisited/

As I do not plan to watch this thread continuously, any follow-up comments I would encourage you to post either at the Syndicate or on my blog post. I will gladly comment back if you do.

I also plan to write a revised version of the timeline with more notes about some things in it, and I will let you know here whenever I happen to get around to it.

Enjoy!

[StriderTuna]

From what I know of PSZ, the people of Coral/Earth built Mother Trinity, she made some suggestions the people didn't like, She despaired, got possessed by Dark Falz, and so forth. But yeah, MT did a good job of raising mostly loyal newmen (The security squad that Reve was part of was PERSONALLY raised by MT) It was mainly the normally raised ones that started to have questions about things.

[yoshiblue]

So WHY O WHY does PSO stuff keep showing up in PSU (including people, weps, simulations, VR programs & monsters)?

*Other than 'fan service' / because people want it to

It was said that holes in dimensions and the works opened up on somehow left them there. For all we know PSU's hero (story or multiplayer in PSU's case) could have been PSO's ancestor in that case.

[Allahweh]

As before, I don't plan to get into long drawn-out discussions here, but I did go ahead and write up a "Version 2" of the timeline, which you can find at either of these links:

[Omega-z]

hi, Allahweh was wondering it also included Collection, Adventure & PSP2I timelines also. It's a Great read so far. and comes up some idea's to where some of the ppl come from.

Going from the time when first explorers found the Angol system and founded there lives in the system had contact with Old Earth. Then over time the kingdoms of Angol broke off Communication with Old Earth 3 years Before due to the upcoming war the with Waizz. Then during the time of PS 2 when Old Earth encountered the worldship in space during about the same time losing Communication with Angol in the orginal time line. During that time the refugee's from Angol taught Earthmen how to Make better ships but didn't know how to get back because of the black hole. Not realizing Falz was on board slowly took over the people even tho they tried to stop it. They became enraged at the Angolians for sending them this plague and sent two teams of Warships to find Angol. Now the first group of Warship makes it to Angol and they destroy them with climate control but they lose to the Angolians. But over time the people of Parma had to leave due to the climate problems and lose of the planet, some of them found the Gurhal System and try there best to mimic the lives they had in Angol. But the Earthmen in the Second group of Warship became more evil and embraced the darkness. Then They suddenly found the Gurhal System and use there new powers to attack the people and mistaking them for Angolians. the Ancient people of Gurhal fought the invaders and made the Confinement system to stop them which didn't go as planed. They lost a Planet and many on both sides lost there lives. the remainder of the Ancient people of Gurhal went into hiding to wait for help. And the Dark invaders / Illuminus being injured form the long war and thinking they had won went into Hibernation on there newly founded planet with look outs for when help may come and to regrow.

This is just a theory an not cannon but can fit into that timeline that you had made. but It could be just BS if PSPI cannon says differently about where and what happened during there time. Thoughts? :):rappy:

And is this accurate to your info? going by star charts.:)

[Allahweh]

"Phantasy Star II: Text Adventures" consists of various stories that take place between AW 1281-1284, so naturally we would place those on the timeline right before PS2.

Are you saying that you think it was humans, from Earth, that colonized the Algol System? I'm not really too sure about that because it seems that before AW 86 or so, people on Palma did not have the ability to travel through space. If we equate AW 1 to AD 2001, then we can see how these systems were similar. Just as humans here in 2001 weren't off colonizing worlds in our system, humans on Palma weren't doing so. Part of it was that they were caught in a long war in the previous two decades, but also it was most likely technological limitations. Once the war ended, they could turn their attentions elsewhere and so by the end of that century they were expanding outside of Palma.

I honestly think humanity simply evolved in parallel between these two systems. The first contact between the Earthmen and the people of Algol seems to happen at roughly the time that PS1 takes place, which would be when the Alisa III arrived on Earth through the tear in time-space. Ironically it creates a cyclical history as the Algolians brought this darkness to Earth, resulting in the destruction of their world later, and in turn the Earthmen brought their evil ways back to Algol many years later. After Palma was destroyed for that very reason, the Alisa III set out and you know what happened, LOL.

The map seems to be fairly accurate. On that map, I'd note that Coral and Copto are most likely the same world, and I would argue that Ragol should be part of the Gurhal System, later named Parma.

I'm remiss to explain events of PSP2I as I've not seen a translation of the story. From what I can tell from reading other comments, Red Ring Rico's presence seems to be somewhat like a ghost, but even if that's true that still implies a lot of things.

[Omega-z]

That's good to hear mostly everything is in the timeline.

Yeah I thought about that after I posted about why Algolian's didn't have the tech to go to earth hmm, could there be another great blank or what if the Blackhole was still open long enough to send old school Earth shuttles thru, tring to reach Algol but slipped back even farther in time to a Primitive Algol with no way of getting back and had to settle the closes planet to them must likely Palma. A Grandfather Paradox......Maybec?

I think it's total Possible that Earthmen are the Illuminus in PSU since Howzer said he's thousands of year's old which would fit with your time line.

I totally agree that Coral is Copto and fits very well. The thing about Ragol is that it was a Lone planet in the system and no where else to go according to Pioneer 2 and the ship came form Coral since the meteor came from Ragol and Coral would have similarities to Palma made ships since they have the same roots. Which I think it was one of the many 400 ships that left Palma before it blew up and found Gurhal System and settled Parum after there old world which would be must likely the some of the Ancients and it may fit under one of the many Ending in the classic series. But it's possible that it's the same world.

Ragol is not Rykos tho. They both appeared at the same time as PSIV and PSO in the timeline. why Rykos has the VR system maybe because it came from the Dulk-Fulz's mine ( stated in PSU ) and so all Dulk-Fulz's are linked and gather info form those they absorb.

Now the problem is, did the evil Earthmen Contaminate Rykos Before it reached the Gurhal system after Algol resealed Dark force in there Sector of space. And a new Problem exists now since PSIV used Rykos as the 3rd planet to reseal but now it's gone and the Algolians don't know that so there down two planets to seal with both Palma and Rykos gone :( maybe Coral or Ragol maybec as a new 3rd?

The map could be a little different in it's orbit with Ragol to reflect as the same as Coral's or get more info on Ragol too. Now learning the names of the Planet's of PSO2 not sure if there even more Systems?

Yes that would be great If we knew more about PSP2I and how Ragol fits in with Gurhal for all we know, it could be that there the second group of ppl to settle Gurhal and PSO2 could be what happen during that time before the Blank period in there history and were told a false history.....(some of the Ancients) Maybec?

Ancients the spirit type looking one's like Wenyard could be the spirit Guardians in PSIV that guard the seal system on Rykos. They must of gotten kick out by the dark forces and fled to Gurhal. Maybec?

So we have 10+ races then, wow, in the PS series.

Oh EspioKaos is a good person to ask to find out for PSP2I since he can help with Translations. :)

[Allahweh]

I suppose anything is possible, really.

The problem I see with Earth being responsible for the colonization of Algol is that the people of Algol don't really seem to be aware of the Earthmen's presence until they arrive a few centuries before PS2. We really don't know what happened to the Alisa III after it arrives at Earth in the past, but I'd assume they didn't make it back to Algol. Instead, it seems that they likely lived out their lives on Earth and the Alisa III was later used as a basis on which to build Noah when the time came to leave Earth. Humans on Earth were aware of Algol, however, because of the Alisa III and the information told to them by the people on the ship.

It is a grandfather paradox though because the Humans came to Algol, bringing darkness and corruption with them and imposed the MOTHER system there and ultimately led to the destruction of Palma. In turn, the Alisa III and other worldships leave, and the Alisa III goes back to the past and in turn creates the genesis of this series of events. It's kind of ironic.

A key point here though is something you mentioned about the other worldships. One seems to crash on Motavia but we don't know about the others. I think it is safe to say that at least one of them heads to Copto as it was only 1 LY away from Algol and was a known colony world. Palmans seem to simply settle there and life continues until that world is also brought to the brink of destruction by war, pollution, and the beginnings of a new Mother system. Yet, it seems that these settlers from Coral were not the first of their kind to reach Ragol. It looks as if Ragol was used as a seal for a Dark Force around 800 years prior to PSO. As you said, with Palma gone they likely found an alternative and found that Ragol wasn't terribly far away from Algol, which makes sense as Copto/Coral was only 1 LY away to begin with.

I don't recall reading that Ragol was a lone planet in a system, but I think that the settlers from Coral weren't worried about other worlds. They were satisfied with Ragol because it seemed to be a source of this energy and was also an inhabitable world. In fact, the discovery of Ragol was due to the fact that they wanted to find this energy. I think the government on Coral was hoping that Ragol would serve as a good alternative, but maybe the energy could be used to somehow stave off the decay of their homeworld.

We really don't know who the ancients are, do we? Sure, it is possible that they are more settlers from Palma from AW 1284 or it's also equally possible that they were other settlers from Coral. However, the ancients seemed to pretty much die out as a group long before the events of PSU. So, if they were settlers from any of those worlds it would be a rather moot point anyhow. However, it seems clear that the humans in modern-day Gurhal are not related to the Ancients necessarily (for reasons stated above), so there are a few possibilities: They could be from Palma, they could have been a second group from Coral, or they could be the same people from the Pioneer project.

So, what planets are there going to be in PSO2? I have not read as much on that lately...And is there a target release date yet?

[blace]

So, what planets are there going to be in PSO2? I have not read as much on that lately...And is there a target release date yet?
As to the earlier theories I'll leave them to someone else that has a deeper understanding of them. However, PSO2 still has no release date as it is still in the Alpha testing phase. No story, just a few preset dungeons, and somewhat limited character customization.

I just hope that people read the post I made for getting started so they have a good base to start off on.

Thanks, it took a long time to write and it was fun. Hopefully people learn some stuff and at least get an idea of how some of this stuff may connect!

I do look forward to PSO2 though, as I want to see what that game is all about!

And above someone wrote it is still in alpha...I thought it was due out by the end of 2011 in Japan?

It ended not too long after what I said. No predetermined date either, as the earthquake did push back the production of the game a fair ways.

[Allahweh]

It's been about 10 months since the last reply here but I was still thinking about this the other day and was curious as to some things.

It is unclear to me what the real connection between PSO and PSU is. In the first draft of the timeline I said it was possible Parum was a futuristic version of Ragol. That is possible, but something else I read recently made a good case for Rykros (in PSU) being Ragol because the VR data was said to have come from the planet's surface. That person said they think Ragol was drawn by photons to the Gurhal system. That seems plausible too and could explain the "Crossing Time and Space" reference from PSP2i. Is that how humans came to Gurhal? Who knows.

Regardless, we need to figure out if the AW calendar is the same as AUW. If AUW stands for "After Unification War" that could be, although it could refer to something on Coral's past and not Palma's. Yet, Coral seems very likely to be Copto if for no other reason than the characters for Copto can be written as Coral, so I tend to think that Coral was the world settled after PS1.

It seems that PSO2 uses a new dating system called AP and is set in AP 238. Any idea what AP stands for yet? I kind of wondered if it was something like "After Pioneer" although it's quite likely it's own thing, like AC in PSU.

[Aether]

I have very basic time line of the games worked out.

Chronologically The Order is.

Phantasy Star Online Episode I - Phantasy Star Universe

Phantasy Star Online Episode II - Phantasy Star Universe Ambition of the Illuminis

Phantasy Star Online Episode IV Blue Burst - Phantasy Star Portable series

Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution

Phantasy Star Zero

Phantasy Star Online 2

The time line is based upon my guesstimated chronology of the games. I have Phantasy Star Universe running concurrently with Online. Because I remember reading that Universe and Online take at the same time but in different region of the Multiverse. Going into detail i read i there on somewhere. That the Humans from GURHAL originally came from Coral, they are decedent from the Pioneer 3. Which got lost in sub-space and emerging physically and temporally off target in the GURHAL system. The ship crashes and the survivors have start their civilization over, forgetting their origin in the process.






The Ultimate time which incorporates the four original Phantasy Stars is partially based on an epic piece of Fan Fiction titled Phantasy Star Zero (http://www.phantasy-star.net/fanfics/cameron/pszero.html).


See there are multiple Time Lines in play.

TimeLINE-1
Begins in the 2XXX. Humans on earth discover a fifth fundamental force this is the medium by which all other forces Interact. It is also discovered that this exotic Fifth-Force is exhibits psycho-reactive properties resonating with the human mind/nervous system. This proves the existence of paranormal powers that have been by claimed and attributed to certain individuals through out history. Genetic modification is used to boost the human ability to resonate with this force. To the point where reliable and conscious control is possible. These enhanced people are nicknamed Forces,because they can control the forces of nature. Decades after the discovery of the Fifth-Force a device capable of harnessing it for power is devised; though devices was years away from being practical it potential could provided an infinite source of power. One of the most interesting properties of the Fifth-Force was it's ability readily bend space. The Mastery of this aspect of the Fifth-Force couldn't come soon enough because centuries of pollution and warfare had finally taken their toll. Earth was dying the environment was rapidly decaying and in a few centuries would be completely uninhabitable. The world government decided that humanity would leave earth for the stars. A fleet of Noah class colony ships were built each equipped with the experimental Warp drive. Each ship would be sent to the location of a likely location of a habitable planet. Their were of course several catches. The Warp Drives manipulation of space was very very volatile, their was a good chance that a ship would be damaged possibly even destroyed during activation or deactivation of the drive;perhaps even during transit .The other catch was the fact that Warp Drive couldn't bend space independently of time; the greater the distance a ship traveled the further back in time it would be propelled. Despite these problems the Noah fleet was launched. At least two ship survived but both were heavily damaged. Noah-5 dropped out of warp on target but crashed into a planet with oceans that were thick with Coral. Noah-9 suffered a navigational malfunction and flew right of the Milky-way galaxy and into the Andromeda; were the ship crash lands on the second of a four planet system. The Colonist from Noah-9 battle the Profound Darkness shortly after their arrival. And as a result of their Experiences name the system Ra's al Ghul(Demon's Head);which is eventually shortened to Algol. A natural disaster takes out the colonial data-archive and the humans eventually forget their earthly origin. And begin thinking of Plama as their home planet. Crown Prince Eusis Rolf Landale (http://www.ill-intent.com/PS2maintitle.htm) defeats the second major manifestation of the Profound Darkness in history. And presided over the launch of the deep space Exploration and Colonization fleet. Unfortunately not all of the Profound Darkness was sealed and Dark Forces infiltrate the Worldship fleet as they leave the system. The Dark Force is defeated(not destroyed) on board Alisa III. Do to the upheaval and chaos caused by the battle the worldship's navigational systems are temporarily disabled and it drifts into black hole. The Alisa III emerges from the black hole in the Sol System and is contacted by the London Communication Center.
