I'll try to do the character part before too long. Not nearly as interesting as the world info though. :/

Actually, you may wanna do the different factions involved: the Guardians Colony, etc etc. Just a thought. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, I would be more than thrilled with any translation that shines a little more light on PSU http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Any new information is good...

GaijinPUnch

I did do that part, actually... everything that was mentioned on it anyway. The Guardians Colony is really a place though, not a faction.

If you think about it, it IS a faction. The GC are supposed to be the good guys. You also have the AMF, the rogues, & a few other sects. Just like in PSO, you had the govt, the lab, the hunters. All factions. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Cool planet info...and Karen can't use techs! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

With three races, and three planets, I suppose it could be expected for each race to have a planet, but we never really knew. Anyway, this info makes PSU seem all the cooler.

Karen can't use techs!?! Where did I miss that? Seriously, I never saw that...Anyways, yes this info does make PSU seem all the cooler. And soon PSU won't be able to seem any cooler. It will have reached the maximum level of cool. Infinite cool http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Nov 6, 2005, 04:36 PM
Yes, it was said she cant use techs. Well, its being made that you as Ethan will have to eternally protect her while she's your melee. Shes pretty nice with those daggers. For those that missed it, each planet is predominantly ruled by 1 race tho others do inhabit it. Just a smaller %, thats all.

PhruitBaskit
Nov 6, 2005, 05:11 PM
Well I missed that. I think it's stupid that a Newman can't use techs. I mean, it's their specialty! Well whatever, as long as she can still slash em up with those daggers http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif But I did get the whole 'each planet has a predominant race' thing...

Can you play as Karen offline?

OdinTyler
Nov 6, 2005, 09:35 PM
Uh dude...Karen is the main female offline char? The story is mainly her & Ethan. How many times do I gotta say it? LOL Online is ONLY for chars you create from scratch. Other chars we read about are from offline mode.

As far as the website's concerned, it's only a place. I know what you mean though. I'm more curious if there will be online maps there to be honest. You always here "three planets" blah blah... it would be neat to of course have more scenery.

OdinTyler
Nov 7, 2005, 09:31 AM
Online maps to your location or field maps? Dont worry, I know for a fact that theres field maps. The two scenes I played had them. I noticed you definitely dont feel like youre 'on rails' as much. Wider spaces to run, but, alot of natural blockage from rocks, etc.

Yes, I know she's one of the main offline chars...I was asking if you could play as her offline because in some other thread someone said that the only person you could play as offline was Ehthan.

OT:

I meant more like "will there be stages on the Gaurdians Colony". Very doubtful, just saying a more "mech" scenerio would be cool.

Well, its been said there will be different floors to the GC. An area for transportation, for one. Elevators & or escalators will be present. Im sure they probably mean teleporters, but, if elevators/escalators were present, one would feel being in the presence of a mall & thus, give you the sense of grandness that is the GC. Given the fact that the GC looks like DS9, if youve watched Star Trek: DS9, expect it to be at least a bit similar. If true, I love it already.

PhruitBaskit
Nov 8, 2005, 05:07 PM
I think that different floors are a huge improvement over a huge one-floor setup. It would definately give that 'grand' feeling in the GC. As for it being like a mall, well, who doesn't like to go out to a huge mall? Except me http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Just that multiple floors will make it feel a lot more complex. And even more so depending on what the GC looks like (with decorations and such).

I think they need to add birthday celebrations to the game. You could put in your bday & your main char's name. Then, ST could organize all the bdays for that month & throw in a week long celebration. Then, have it posted on an in game board. Maybe even give the rest of us a chance to get some gift wrapping & wrap an item to give to those ppl. I know, maybe its corny, but, I think it would be pretty cool. I wont be able to experience that for awhile, as my bday is tomorrow. Can I get a virtual present for now? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

PhruitBaskit

I don't think that PSU will NEED birthday celebrations but it would be cool, I guess. Celebrations would be pretty sweet. I'd be the guy that shows up at parties he's not invited to LOL Would it be corny...possibly. It could be cool but it would depend how ST took it on. And happy birthday! Here's your present ::gives Odin some Baranz Parts:: http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

That would be far too much work for ST to ever do unless they hire a few hundred more new employees. It would take them far too long to register everyone and set that up. You could hope for it but don't be surprised if it doesn't happen.

GaijinPUnch
Nov 10, 2005, 07:25 PM
Actually, it might take one extra staff person to code it, and one more to test. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Doesn't matter, it would be a waste of disc space if you ask me. No offense I just don't like the idea, we can celebrate eachothers birthdays privatly and tell eachother and give away items to our friends who are celebrating their birthday.

I don't think it would be too much trouble, FFXI has weddings~

Disk space, is by far, the least significant problem w/ the idea of birthdays. To each their own though.

Be surprised if it does happen. There's almost no chance of it happening. We were just saying that it would be a (I'll give you unnecessary, but) cool feature for online PSU. That's all...

And I thought Rion said that 'the later PSU comes out the better' (???) I don't think the time it would take is a good reason for ST to not have b-days, Rion!

I said birthdays, not weddings. I showed up at one town where it was said a wedding took place (this was on EQOA). Yep, 2 players or a player & an admin got married. I dont know, I dont care. I just know I wouldnt do it. Anyway, from what I saw, basically, I met our former admin (shes a dev now) & ppl kept bugging her with questions for stupid nonsense. She kept warning ppl she was going to warp em back to their save points. I & one other person kept telling the crowd to leave her alone. Eventually she got sick of it & started mass porting everyone (including me). It was hilarious!

We might as well create a new site identical to the jp psu site, but all translated, without all the pics and flash.

PhruitBaskit
Nov 16, 2005, 01:03 PM
If it didn't have all the pics and flash, it wouldn't be identical http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif But yeah, a site that's identical to the JP sit would help out A LOT. ST should just get one up with every thing the same except for the languauge. How about English? Tanslations are so great...JP-US

Yeah I agree, it gets ridiculous to wait for our PSOW translators to tell us what the updates about...

Lucky for them they actually got a job here aside from being friendly and conversing

Yeah, you have to wait a whole 2 or 3 hours after the update. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Most of those look like summaries, made by people who aren't totally fluent in japanese.

I..WE DEMAND THE BEST!

It is usually extremely difficult finding anyone that will translate Japanese content for free. Afterall, translating Japanese text can often be a time-consuming activity. For most other games, we wouldn't know anything about the gameplay/story until it was released to the general public. You should be glad that some of your fellow forum members are helping out. They are providing an extremely valuable service to the Phantasy Star community.

I'd say those summaries are pretty accurate. There's no need for a literal translation of something like describing an item, especially from Japanese -- a langauge which has millions of ways to say nothing.
