Then what the HELL was NGS for thenThen why the HELL did they kill PSO2Why the HELL did you kill your entire PSO playerbase FOR THIS SHITTHEN TO ONLY MAKE PSO3???WHOS GOING TO TRUST YOU NOW?!?!?!WHAT THE HELL SEGA WHAT THE HELL
pso 2 sucked regardless of ngs
ngs was for milking the niggercattle that ate up the trash that was pso2. thanks for funding the next game suckers>kill your entire PSO playerbasepso2 already did since ep4>>739996637trvke supernova
>>739996637no u
It was the PSO3 waiting room featuring everyone’s favorite aging meme Gwizofthestars.Actual answer is its devs were poached for “super game”. PSO3 is the best news we could get.
Because if NGS was a success PSO3 wouldn't be under development.NGS didn't kill the PSO playerbase, they just accepted it as a shit entry to be skipped waiting for the next one, like they did with Universe and Zero.The only actual threats that NGS represents to Phantasy Star as a franchise are the threat that its failure will lead to PSO3 not being localized (possible), and the threat that PSO3 will use Microsoft Azure and have NGS' unspeakably dogshit servers.
>>739996757what's that supposed to prove?
>>739996637TRVKE
>>739996761>Gwiz leaves SEGA>PSO3 rumoredMust be shit if they lost the infamous fanboy
>>739996019Source?You can't just shit out a claim like that and not back it upThat said, if it's true, I totally knew it.PSO2 was unceremoniously slaughtered, and PSO2: New Genesis felt like a developer experiment rather than a proper PSO2 game.The thing that cemented that theory was noticing how it was handled.>barely any updates>shitty story that doesn't dare reference the past almost at all (almost like they're not allowed to!) and no space travel what-so-ever>ridiculously bad towns / hubs for a supposed "open world MMO">almost no class customization until waaaay later>current devs can't even get things working that worked on PSO2That game is the most blatant skeleton crew I've seen in the history of gaming
>>739997147https://streamable.com/21worxhttps://streamable.com/kbaagnleaked by a dude who has apparent connections to sega, also leaked 2 short new jsr clips
>>739996019why can't they just go back to making phantasy star games without the online shit
>>739996019cool maybe i'll try it out before dropping it a week in
>>739997543so a guy who leaks a couple of jet set radio clips says PSO3 is happening, but can only prove the former to a small degree?I dunno if I believe it, those short clips aren't insanely convincing either...
>>739996637It really went to shit with ep4 of PSO2 and it never recovered. I miss those days.
>Microshart helps bring pso2 to the west>PSO2 NA is a hyper accelerated content treadmill that runs through the game super fast, and doesn't give content time to breathe - you might get the bis gear, and it would be invalidated in a week>also the installation is fucked up and bloats your pc with garbage. I think there was also issues with the uninstaller fucking up hard drives?>Missing content, terrible translation (le falspawn face), horrible font, etc>NGS comes out, JP enacts a gajinban, probably because Microsoft wants NA to have a big playerbase>>>>>>>>NGS is hilarious dogshit and the story goes moves at a glacial paceSeeing NGS flounder and fail feels so fucking good. I also hear NGS NA has schizo power-tripping mods, at that? Fantastic, anybody with a brain could see the horrors of what an all b20 server would be like, but the lazy fucks who were too stupid to handle a hiragana captcha clamored for a western release, and got fed an unsatisfying pso2 experience, then raped with the nothing game that was ngs. Like, look at how long NGS has been out for, and compare it to how many episodes PSO2 had experienced, in a comparative timeframe - last I checked, pso2 had been up to episode 4, and NGS >went through the tutorial island slop + dark falz aegis>introduced the starless>...the entirety of the profound darkness story had already finished, and the ngs story was doing nothing.ngs is one game i absolutely love to hate on
>>739998373Missing out on all the crossover content that JP had is a real shame. I legit miss this treadmill game on JP. A pity Ep6 killed my desire to continue after slogging through Ep5.
>>739996637fpbp
who caresjapan doesn't play pc games anymore this will be some mobile trash guaranteedthey should at least redact NGS and revert changes back to EP6 final patch so we can all forget this shit happened
>>739998642>japan doesn't play pc games anymoreThey really went all in on phone games, huh?
>>739996019>Make NGS>Everyone hates it>Move on to 3 insteadNot rocket science
>>739997543I checked the dude's twitter where the info is supposedly from and there's nothing about Phantasy Star or PSO
>>739998514>xivchads are going to fuck Ramiel next year while globalsharts will NEVER EVER play Sixth Angel UHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
>>739998514The period of time between content drops allowed players to form fond memories, as they >engage in farming in the sub-tunnels for a Demonic Fork, >doing Time Attacks with the bros for cash, >running Advance Quests & doing exit bursts, >partying up for Dark falz Elder in hopes of getting his units, >laughing at your fighter friend because you got a jinrai right in front of them, >struggling in Tower Defense with 'CRYSTAL GOD' randos, >the period of time in which Zonde had weird damage conditions and was super strong>Ilmegid's reign of terror, etc etc.>"Don't worry, I'm tank spec'd" discourse>Screencapping rare bosses in explorations>Zan techs being weirdly hard to get>uncharged sazan spam with elysion being viable>actually playing through XQs>Getting excited for Parallel areas>Getting excited for Mr Umblla>Each, and every single weapon that I had ever used, build up, and bonded with. Something one might see as fodder they'd quickly grow past, was something I have fond memories of>The excitement at seeing the story advance, the characters the Dark Falz had, and what their plans might be>Getting mad over episode 4 and how lame phantoms were>SHITtsugi - get outta here bitch>at least och and phul are cute>oh shit darker phantoms? ESC-A Falz Mother?>GOD?>Frontier collab (Elzalion or w/e?), Evangelion Collab, etc etc>I touched pvp once or twice (it sucked, but I still tried it)I have so many fond memories, but seeing the advanced rate at which content was released in NA, it makes me wonder if those people even played the same game as me. I didn't play Idola, but I did play PSO2es as well, and that was the primary means of charging AC, so I have that experience as well.To think, JP actually enacted the gaijinban for NA, and produced an inferior localization, before casting it all aside for ngs - I can't help but laugh at their failure.
>>739999179>>739999380>JPfags pretending that 80% of global players weren't oldheads that played JP and just wanted a version that didn't require them to commit genuine credit card fraud to whaleI'll never get this delusion. Waxing nostalgic about Ep3+ shit to people that were spamming Zan and being mad that their race literally couldn't equip their BiS weapon at a time when you were still playing Pandaland.
