My favorite class in PSO 1 was the Android class. I was wondering if they are going to be in PSO 2. Because I have seen no reference to them as of yet...

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could clear this up for me. Thx.

Yep, casts are back. And they have a special attack now that can be done every hour - SUV Weapon.

Looks like you'll be able to create more humanoid-looking casts than before, as well as heavily armoured PSO-style ones.

HAHA! Happy Days... Wait Androids don't have emotions... or do they? Hehe, well thank you very much for this.

Another question... If you wish to answer... Do you think that PSO2 will be only for the PS2 or will it come out for Gamecube and X-Box again, because certainly Sonic Team knows that the PS2 has one of the worst online output of all the systems, even being put down by the Gamecube.

Questions you have can be answered in the 'what we know of the game' and other such posts. I realize youre new to knowing about Phantasy Star Universe (what you refer to as PSO 2). Read up on all the topics & youll get lots of info. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well I was seeking more of an opinion, although i still have quite a bit of reading to do... Thx for the help though. The reason i call it PSO 2 instead of PSU is because Episode 3 was not worthy of much recognition... Cards?! I mean come on... Well thats enough of the anger, i hope to see you around...

PSU is only PS2 and PC at the moment, and I don't think we will see an Xbox or GC version later. Xbox has been replaced by 360, and GC is nearly dead. Also PSU is broadband only and not many people have the adaptor on GC, whereas the new PS2 has it built in.

There might be a version for 360 or Revolution in the future, but nothing is planned at the moment. So if you want PSU it's got to be PS2 or PC really.

Android, theres a PSO Episode IV in Blue Burst. I know, shocking! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif I havent played it either as Im not a PC gamer. If youre gonna get into something new, just hang & wait til PSU. If you dont have a PS2 (& you dont get it on PC), try to get it. After reading up on all the info, Im sure youre gonna like what you see. Dont hope on it coming out on other systems. This has been said ad nauseum. Its NOT happening at this time. Ill be on the PS2 version. Maybe Ill see ya there!

Well we can hope for an early February or March. But I doubt that it will come any time before that. Plus, I've searched for the PS2 online modem thing and i cant find it anywhere... Any suggestions?

Its called the Network Adapter. Any game/electronics store should have it. Places like Best Buy also carry it. You can even try ordering direct through Sony or Amazon. The newer PS2s have them built right in & God, are they small! Theyre almost as thin as a folder. I mean its scary how small. Cool design tho. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Actually, that was a mistranslation someone made of the word "ichijiteki." It's understandable that mistake was made, as "ichiji" means "one hour," but when the suffix "teki" is added on, it makes the word mean "temporary." So, casts' SUV-weapons and beasts' nano blasts are special abilities that make them temporarily more powerful.

Maybe it will last an hr? One hr cast, one hr recast. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif That would work. I dont expect that to be true. It will probably be anywhere from 30sec-5min. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Still tho, very promising. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I would assume you have to charge those attacks similar to a MAG's photon blast. Then, you unleash the attack whenever you're ready. The power and duration of the nanoblast and SUV-weapons' nanotrance will probably increase with your character's level.

I really hope they charge faster than that. Those Phonton Blast aren't worth to charge for so long. Excep Mylla & Youlla of course. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

PBs are good but can take awhile to charge, as you said. Also, that was the ability of the mag. These are abilities governed by race. Its different. Combine a racial ability w/what PMs can possibly do is gonna be insane!

its not hard to get your ps2 to work online.

First of all if you don't have broadband I don't think you will be able to play, doesn't matter on the system.

If you do, all you need is the network adapter, and a router if you want an internet connection WHILE you're playing. Both are incredibly easy to set up. Also don't be fooled, PS2 is great for online(*cough* FFXI Online *cough*)

Ok, i have Road Runner, and a router, so all i need is the network adapter. Is Road Runner a broadband network?

OdinTyler
Oct 30, 2005, 06:15 PM
Yes, Roadrunner is cable so that counts as broadband.

Pbs took a while, and maybe it wasn't 100% worth the time it took to charge, but you've got to admit that they helped a little bit. Now if you didn't like PBs keep in mind that races don't use them. They're something different-special abilities! I'm sure they'll be awesome http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif They couldn't possibly be bad, could they?

And do we know of any special abilities for humans and newmans? There's no way in hell that casts and beasts are going to be the only races with special abilites!

Cool, i might hook that up and play PSU Online...

I have an old PS2, one without the thingy attached to the back, any idea how much it costs?

OdinTyler
Oct 30, 2005, 06:21 PM
They used to run about 40 bucks. You should be able to get it for that, if not less, seeing as how theyve been out for over 2 yrs. It explains how to attach it to the back. Fairly simple. No real need for tools. Just make sure that you have all the cables you need to plug it in. In the back of the adapter, you have 2 ports: 1 for phone line, 1 for network cable. I have DSL & I run an Ethernet line through to the adapter. If I were you, contact Sony to make sure that you can use Road Runner as any other ISP. Sega runs the game but it still runs on a Sony system. I suggest talking to them.

Thank you very much... Well I guess this is the thread to ask questions... Any pertaining to PSU. So can it be official?

OdinTyler

Well, as Ive said, you may want to read all the various topics going back the past 2 months. The guys here & I have been discussing alot. You may wanna read up on it first. Its alot to take in, I know. It will catch you up quickly tho.

It's been said in almost every detailed discussion of everything that will be in PSU that's been confirmed so far that there will be casts...
