I dont know if this has ever been brought up before, but has sonic team givin us any indication about what the area is going to be like once were in our game but not before were on the surface? like the pioneer 2 of the PSOs. and have they said that our rooms are going to be connected to the lobby or to our game? i can kinda see them being a physical part of the city or whatever our pioneer 2 is making more sense because they have said that other people will be able to go into our rooms.

Guardians Colony (being that it looks almost identical to Star Trek's DS9) is most likely where our initial city is, where we'd have our apts, etc. Check it out on the main PSU site that we all check frantically. Personally, Id like a place on at least 1 of the 3 planets of my choosing, but, oh well. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

hmmm, anyone else hoping that we have to go to the cities on the individual planets to get our missions? or hoping we can go there in the online part at all

Oh, we'll be going to the 3 planets. Somewhat free range of motion in the online system. However, it would be cool to get missions on a specific planet than having to rely solely on the GC. Much like Pioneer2, I doubt the GC has a full understanding of whats on the planets til they actually go. The GC administration doesnt and probably wouldnt. We do. I get the feeling that since we now have 3 planets to play with (YAY), ppl will be choosing their fave ones to explore. I intend on fully exploring all 3, perhaps a certain char focusing on a certain planet, more than others. I just dont know yet.

I think I'll definitly have a favorite planet to explore and I'll call that my characters home. But will it be like a giant field where you can explore? Or will it be just like Forest and such? I played ROSE Online and I enjoyed how big the world was. But since it's a 6 person party. I don't think they will make a giant field where you can travel, because then you never can find each other then. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Well, a few of us here played the demo in NY. There are separate areas to explore (we could only play 2 such places), however theyre pretty big. I imagine we'll have many fields to explore, not counting the dungeons. ST has said 20 dungeons, w/15 bosses. This I doubt, is counting the surface. So yeah, its gonna be huge! About damn time! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Actually, ST has said there will be more than 20 dungeons with more than 15 major bosses. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Yes, as I said, not counting the surface. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif This means we'll have a minimum of 20 dungeons & 15 bosses, in addition to what we may see topside & new content release at a further date.

It really makes you wonder how many Bosses and Dungeons there will be doesn't it?! HMM!?

I'm shooting for 5 more bosses and 5 more dungeons...what's everyone else's hopes?

PhruitBaskit
Oct 31, 2005, 05:23 PM
But the 'more than 20 dungeons' might not be counting the surface either http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif And yeah, we'll have to wait & see...

all i have to say is, they need a world map, area map, lobby map, suvinier shop, a Mono-mart on every 5th floor of the colony, umm, yea im done.

OdinTyler
Oct 31, 2005, 10:13 PM
Not to mention the My Room map. You know, for the good parts of town, the shady parts, etc. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Kind of like something from Grand Theft Auto? Yes, that would be nice...Depending on how big the cities actually are. I'm hoping for massive. And maybe you won't need a map, maybe you'll be able to warp to where ever you want to go. Telepipe to the supermarket LOL

Player: Yes, thats all Id like to purchase today.
Clerk: OK, that will be 10,800 meseta.
Player: Crap, I left my wallet at home. BRB. (ports to My Room)(grabs wallet)(ports back)
Clerk: Im sorry sir, youll have to go to the back of the line.
Player: WHAT? But, I was just here!
Clerk: Im sorry sir, youll have to go to the back of the line.
Player: DAMMIT! (note to self: configure teleporter to transporter faster than half a second)

PhruitBaskit
Nov 1, 2005, 06:01 PM
Yeah, something kind of like that http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif But what I meant was like maybe we won't need a map because there will be a bunch of teleporters in a row that lead to any where you could possibly want to go. That would be stupid though. No teleporters! Let's just walk to where we want to go...No matter how far away it is. Wait, maybe maps will be needed...

OdinTyler
Nov 1, 2005, 06:04 PM
How about a huge directory that they have in malls, only electronic? If the GC is as huge as we think, it would help. That would be a map in itself. There has been a mention of floor so there are more than likely elevators (tho theyll probably be in city teleporters). However, based on what I read, this may be how you get from lobby to lobby (if they keep with that old PSO tradition).

PhruitBaskit
Nov 2, 2005, 12:44 PM
A huge directory sounds like it would work. And teleprting should definately be in. Like you said it would keep with the old PSO tradition. Because who didn't like PSO? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Where did it say anything about floors? If there were floors, telepipes would work just as well as elevators would...Besides, elevators are old, go with a telepipe. It's Phantasy Star!

OdinTyler
Nov 2, 2005, 03:34 PM
Not sure who exactly but it was a developer for ST. Apparently, we can travel to various floors within the GC. Whether through elevators or teleporters (as we're used to), that Idk. Pretty safe to say it will be porters. If there are elevators to the various floors where we can shop the mall stores, visit others, then Im officially gonna name the area The Promenade! Can it be any more like Star Trek: Deep Space 9? I LOVE IT! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Don't forget the escalators. Gotta have the escalators!

Also, official info straight from the Sega, or one of the Sega R&D guys:

"IGN: And then you'll have separate servers, of course...

Miyoshi: There will actually likely be more than 100 because the city itself will be divided into divisions or sections -- you know, different floors.


IGN: Floors? So can you take an escalator or an elevator or something to go between these floors?

Miyoshi: There are both escalators and elevators.


IGN: Are the floors different servers and the escalators and elevators jump between them?

Miyoshi: The floors, escalators and elevators stay on the same server. There's another terminal that allows you to jump to a separate server.

Each floor has its own function. The first floor will have people hanging out, like a park area. The second floor is structured more like an airport, with transportation. Third floor will have shops. The fourth floor will be the guardian headquarters. Guardians, by the way, are the main group that your character joins."

Aha, see! I told you I remember reading about escalators & such. Maybe that was where I read. Couldnt remember all the details. But, as was just posted there, theres a clear mention of a floor for transportation. This HAS to mean we can fly to the other planets! YEAH BUDDY! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I hope my ship is GPS equipped, cuz it's a long way from Palma to Moatoob (I hope I got the names right http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif ) There's plenty of space to get lost LOL

I don't care...Interplanetary transportation will kick some serious ass!

OdinTyler
Nov 3, 2005, 04:46 PM
Well, its Parum, but, I mean cmon, could the names be any closer to the original 3? LOL I expect something out of PS1 for interplanetary travel: go to the spaceport, get to your ship, select your destination, & the cinema carries you up into space & lands you on the next planet. Anything more than that would be great. However, just to have that old school feeling again...

PhruitBaskit
Nov 4, 2005, 01:03 PM
Parum, that's what I meant! And an old PS system for interplanetary transportation sounds pretty good. Plus it's old school, so how could it be any better?

And that sounds like another Ratchet & Clank tyoe set up...Get into your ship, select your destination, and the cinematic effct flies you to the next planet...

OdinTyler
Nov 4, 2005, 03:22 PM
Dont you mean its a Phantasy Star set up? You gotta understand how old the series is. It came out in 1987/88. Its older than Final Fantasy! PS is old, but, in my book ALWAYS in style! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

PhruitBaskit
Nov 4, 2005, 04:20 PM
Of course Phantasy Star is in style! It always will be. (duh) But I was speaking in terms of a newer game...One on a new system...One with more graphics, similar to what we'll see in PSU. Only the PSU graphics will be way better than Ratchet & Clank. Way better...And the actual game will be way better too! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

OdinTyler
Nov 4, 2005, 04:31 PM

Well you know what I mean http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif And just because I like guns and I like to shoot things (living and nonliving) doesn't make me a redneck...I'm just a PS dork that likes to go out and hunt!

And a PS/Ratchet (whatever the hell it is) system for switching planets would be just fine with me.

OdinTyler
Nov 4, 2005, 10:51 PM

...you run for the hills after spotting a squirrel, shouting 'The Motavians are coming! The Motavians are coming!'

Nov 5, 2005, 01:26 PM
Yes, that might be a hint that you're a PS redneck...But what do squirrels have to do with Motavians??? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif And are the Motavians good...or bad? Whatever, I don't really care...Odin The Cable Guy

OdinTyler
Nov 5, 2005, 06:59 PM
Well, rednecks hunt squirrels & Motavians are also furry lil animals so...well, its what came to mind ok? Yes, Motavians are good, but, werent always. As I said, I believe Odin is who helped civilize them way back when. As for me being Odin The Cable Guy...

GIT-R-DUN!

PhruitBaskit
Nov 5, 2005, 08:14 PM
Okay, Iwas just wondering...Rednecks hunt squirrels & Motavians are also furry animals...I got it! And when Odin helped to civilize them, I hope they got cable service, Cable Guy http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Good grief, this thread has really gone off-topic.

If you two would like to discuss Phantasy Star rednecks, use the PM system or make a new topic in Off-Topic.

It is ok to discuss different things as the thread evolves, but try to stick to the overall idea of the thread. In this case, it was about discussing new online areas in PSU.
