That circle thingie...

[Nai_Calus]

What, if anything coherent, does it say on the magic circle-type thingie that's on the title screen and shows up when you use a PB? I can make out the outer ring, it's the names of the PBs, but the TV's too small to make out the inner rings. Anyone know? This has probably been asked and answered about a billion years ago, but I wouldn't even begin to know what search terms to use. >_>;;; I ask this because some of the text in the game is actually readable if you stare at it long enough to figure out what letter they bastardised the hell out of to get x symbol(and not just the shop signs, some other things, too), and I was wondering if the same held true for that.
...And why the frell does the sign by the TP point in Ep1 say 'Welcome to Pioneer 2'? I would think you would know where you were if you were using a telepipe to get there. O_o;

[dropslash]

Just for you Ian.

That is the best Engrish -ever. O_O;
...Well, no, I have a notebook that says 'All greens are appear whiter than looking shining' on the cover.
I guess it makes sense if you smoke enough crack, or you're a member of ST.
Heh, thanks. ^^

Here's the next question. During the opening where it show's off all the character classes, as the class name shows up, a whole slew of text appears at the top of the screen, i'm guess it's information about the class... but damned if i can read it that fast.

anyone want to do a screen cap and decypher?

Actually it's the same info about the characters that's in the manual but with the twisted pso font http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.
Example:
FOnewearl
Force/Newman/Female
FOnewearls have limited combat skills, but excel in both attack and support techniques. They have the highest mental strength/TP potential of any class.

That's what it says when it displays the FOnewearl.

Probably to make it look more sci-fi and more like it's set in a different world. It wouldn't be as fun if everything were in say, Arial, now would it?

What I want to know is why these people put text everywhere and have a sign for -everything-. There's text on the floor by the medical centre in ep2. There's text on the walls in Caves. The shops have signs. The check room has a sign. -Cal- has a sign. Yeesh. Maybe they're just so scatterbrained they can't remember anything.

[Cengah]

Thats probably what their problem is. They can't remember where or what anything is so they just put signs saying everything.

They probably have signs for other signs.

[dropslash]

Well, i'm sure most hunters aren't hired for their brains.

Ok, PSO text experts question number 3. The opening screen of the GC version, where it says "press start", the whole background is filled with text.

ready... translate!

Especially Hunters. I dunno about you, but most of 'em look like if you tried to explain something as simple as, say, Red Shift to them, they'd just kind of stare at you incomprehendingly. Get into things such as the effects of travelling near light speed and they'd break. Yeah, Hunters don't strike me as people who are known for their intelligence. Rangers don't seem much better. Although the scientist-types that are a class are Forces. Alicia Baz is a FOmarl, Jean Carlo Montague is a FOnewm, and we can probably assume from Cal that Dr. Calus was a FOmar, what with the egotism involved in naming something after yourself, you'd probably make it look like you too if it were to use a human appearance. >P

[dropslash]

Of course, this doesn't include Androids, which are far superior to both Humans and Newmans in most all respects. Tactical, analytical, AI's capable of instantly assessing any situation, followed immediately with the instantaneous development and execution the perfect battle strategy. Ah yes, the superior mind of the Android. Truly the greatest race in any class that counts.

...Until a FOmar with a Gizonde Merge, a Storm Wand: Indra and L23 Gizonde comes along and completely fucks up your day.
*ZAP*
*grins*

[dropslash]

Until that Gizonde bounces off Cure/Shock and said FO is felled with a single swing of a ChainSawd.

*waggles finger*

I know your tricks spellcaster, bright lights and silly noises won't mean a thing when it comes down to who's holding the bigger sword.

I was going to suggest a scanning electron microscope, but that's just me...

Ah, rats, Dropslash is onto me. Well... I doubt you have 100 ETH, so it should still hurt quite a bit. Hmph. *pouts cutely and cuddles Fluffy*

[Dillon]

Ian, are you a fan of badly translated english? If so.. http://www.engrish.com <-- Very funny. (one of the things there is a tub of yogurt that says "Eat me!" on it)

[xanoki]

Hehe, i dont understand the PSO font, dowload it though, it makes an ok font for a coded e-mail!

[Mixfortune]

Like we don't have signs everywhere? O_o
It's for the tourists is a lot of places...
And as Pioneer 2 is a ship used to transport people looking for a new place to live, I don't think many of them have exactly lived their lives here.

Besides, what if they were able to rescue someone from Pioneer 1? They'd have to know where the bathrooms are located...

[xanoki]

Errr, wheres the toilet?

[Elusive_Llama]

lol

[Nai_Calus]

I've always wanted that shirt. XD

And why would they have tourists on P2? And P1 and P2 are supposed to be identical, I thought. Someone from P1 would know where things were on P2 in that case.
Still doesn't explain why they feel the need to have a sign for Cal. Anyone who actually needs to know where he is would know, and anyone who didn't probably wouldn't care. o_O;;;

[AUTO_]

I've always wondered what those "pit stop" places in the caves say--it's a really small message over a machine-looking deal.

I always figured they were maps or something...but...

Meh?

[Kalbelgarion]

Hmm...That text in the PB circle in interesting...a reference to the Great Light. Neat. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Kupi]

I remember a post at another message board, examining the class info given in the introduction. As it turns out, the info at the top of the screen is for the wrong class in several cases, if not all (don't remember the exact wording of the post).

As for the background text it just seems to say "We are Sega Team, a group of talented programmers, we are good at our jobs and PSO is perfect." Then I log onto an online game and freeze, then the Background seems to change to "Your Connection is rubish, not our fault http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif" But maybe i'm not reading it right

That was really stupid, I'm sorry for forcing my stupidity on all of you.

Alright, that's it. Time for the ultimate in evil. Hell on PBs... *summons Elly, gets her to think that Dropslash is cute and sexy and all that, and idly sits back with a can of Code Red to watch the carnage* ^_^v
...
Oi, Fluffy, get your own. You don't even have a mouth, how the heck are you planning on drinking it, anyways? O_o;;; ...Hey, you didn't even leave me any! Silly thing. You're so cute when you do that. ^^ *resumes watching Elly glomped to DS and babbling endlessly* Wow, this almost hurts to watch, it's so horrific. ^^

[dropslash]

Aaaahhhh, noooooooo! Make iiiiiiit stoooop!

*deactivates auditory sensors*

*gives Elly a toaster to play with*

I wonder if anyone actually goes for Ep2 Elly's lack-of-sleep-heroin-junky-Newman look. How does she keep her job? You'd think the P2 Command would notice somthing like that.
