End of the road, lads...
>/vm/>17 posts per day>but no SEA derranged gacha faggots Can’t win them all.
Did the vg erp general finally die? People got tired of posting their shitty skeletons and land whales with massive bolt-on tits and malformed faces? That's a relief.
>do Yamato Urgent quest for the first timeAlright that wasn’t too bad fighting the boat. NGS could use some bosses like that, where you’re taking parts out slowly.
ngs outlived pso2g...
This is honestly the better thing for it, the general was effectively a zombie in more recent months because NGS is so ass and it even got hijacked by /bag/ for some reason at one point.
What happened anyway? I only jump into the threads once every few days.
>>2048494People just never post, it's like some character posts, but mostly propped up by 2-3 people who funpost to keep it bumped.
>>2048494The ERP shit is funny as a once off thing, gets fucking old real quick. Then you’ve got that “global vs jp” Malaysian faggot. I don’t think you really need generals on this website. There was a PSO2 thread on /v/ yesterday which was everything you’d need. Good conversation, nostalgia bites, etc.Maybe for ongoing games it’s nice to have news updates every now and again, but whatever.
>>2048504Damn I thought that guy was Indian, his delusional war against global and desperation to bump on page 10 whenever certainly gave that impression.
post your character + music
At this point you would think anons would want to play a different PSO game. Just jump shit from PSO2 completely. Anyone play PSU? Funnily enough it has more content than NGS.
>>2049001They hopped onto BPRS because it's more modern
>>2049250BPRS is the most boring dog shit game I've ever played. I only went there to shitpost and goof off before eventually quitting like everyone else did.
Are there any good alliances left at this point in the game? On Ship 2 global.Tryting to find somewhere to socialize on my social game with MMO sidegame but I'm having zero luck :(((
This is not vg, quit shitposting. You've been warned.
Oh, mine was an actual legitimate question, didn't actually know where's best to ask for this sort of stuff
>>2049423Check the active recruiting alliances in the communications tab. Look at the top ones and start your journey. Maybe the first one you pick will be the one. Good luck anon!
>>2049250>>2049401They're out of content now which is why /bpsrg/ has turned into high school drama club with grown men flirting and dating each other.
>>2048296any ephineafags?
>>2049001I thought about playing through the PSP games, do emulators have good multiplayer netcode for them?We could play thoseI also like PSU but only the early and mid game, not a fan of the late game which everyone rushes.
PSO2's support was originally supposed to end in 2025
>>2049841Yes but I'm taking a break after playing too much on HalloweenChristmas event is a single month from now
>>2049915What does that mean? Isn’t new gen considered pso2 still?
>>2048296>pso2g finally deadYou should add a suicide hotline in the OPALSOSyberbolt won :^]
>>2050947Are you going to join us on where winds meet next week?
>>2049250BP is unironically way worse, have to just wait for something better to come along, I'd rather play nothing than play that shit.
>other thread died>didn't realize this one is upWell, then! Unfortunately, I'm just a simple coomer in this game so I don't have much to really say.
>>2051916same desuyo
>>2049250bpsr is a 3/10, 5/10 at best, the photo mode is the only saving grace
>>2052171If it got rid of auto combat, had less jank overall combat with more depth, had an actual non terrible crafting and gathering system and better body sliders it could easily be 8/10
>>2052176my brother in christ that is the equivalent of asking for NGS to leave halpha
I don't give a fuck about NGS, but Matoi and Shiva do things for me that no other PSO character can.
>>2052176"if they fixed every issue it could be good" no shit
>>2052181>>2052194yeah truesad such a great character customization system goes to waste in a tech demo like ngs
>>2052199nobody is arguing otherwise lol
>>2051916Gojira-sama, it's a pleasure!
>>2048504>Then you’ve got that “global vs jp” Malaysian faggot.Thats just kekropi content creating for sega for probably some engagement metric they use, shitposting on 4chin. Unironically probably how gaywiz got into useless roles at sega too. Segas financial department should be investigated for hiring literal lolcows like HMZK that arent good at it, ruining the game>checks financials department of the 3rd division>KMR is running the show now, one of the shitshows that mentioned giving people some qol would cause them to "lose money", said stupid comments caused sakai and him to jointly go in the dark for awhileHiro didnt die for this
>>2049001Trying to gear up will make you quit PSU
>>2050570They planned to keep the game updated and running for 10 years. SEGA never supported a game for this long. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce that support is over for the game within the next year or two since they're shifting resources to their other popular titles. They'll then put it into maintenance mode, running with no updates and wind down the servers until closure over the span of a year.
>>2052500Ngs has already been on maint mode for 5 years its still running on nothing but pso2 fumes
>>2052392What makes it so bad? It's fun at low levels at least.
This game is only good for booty calls
>>2052392It's not bad?
>>2051245>a where winds meet general is made on /vg/>it's full of /xivg/ tourists, gachafags, soulsfags, and /pso2g/fagsoh boy
>>2052602Same with me!
>>2052602I am the permanent booty call available
>>2048296
Ngs is only good for plapping darkerbait pawg anons desu
>>2052844Like me!
>>2052917Do you like t3s...
>>2052923Yes!
>>2052727>rival /vg/ guilds invading each other and staging prison breaksgoing to be kino I hope it has proximity chat
So how much time does PSO2 have left? It's been like 8 years since I last played it
>>2052981Pso2 is pretty dead. NGS is the parasite feeding off the corpse.
>>2052171The town feels like a town so that's something. Ngs cities feel like a camp. But overall, based on what little I've played, the game fucking sucks
>>2053041god eater online also did satellite bases, and a ruined base, but was smart enough to keep it in an interesting post apocalyptic setting with said ruined base underwater like bioshock with functional abandoned tech and god arc soldier storage tanks instead of the fucking lazy kvaris cut and paste with nonsensical dolls storage tanksthe japanese also fucking love the shit out of lloyd irving and wanted him in smash and ngs is the equivalent of having only 4 tales artes in the game. and joining two melee weapons together in a shitty unlinked gauge way when monster hunter has real switch melee weapons.sega has always been slow to their competitors but ngs just tops the crapper. if they actually gave a fucking shit it would have had a memorable anime op like so and not some creepy porcelain dolls with bad lighting fighting a nagrus that zips in and out of the map in incredibly bad animation way compared to the garm from god eater that at least didn't look like it was jerked around. the enemy animations in ngs is fucking shit disguised by being biomechanical but they dont really have any excuse anymore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NAbZKitC8Y
>>2052981Realistically it could last years in the state it’s in; this game costs nothing and funds their other projects. They likely won’t kill it off until they have a successor lined up, and they don’t seem to be working on one.
>>2052981As long as people keep scratching and the game is covering it's bills, it will continue limping on.No one can really predict when that will happen. You could go full autism and monitor sellers on the market and see if the actual important players that are keeping the lights on are quitting.
>>2053041I agree Asteerleeds > Central City by miles
>thread died at 100 postsI guess we're staying here after all? Good old reclining chair...
>>2053366yeah until PSO3 next year
Will the thread be actually usable now?
>>2053378See:>>2052844>>2052917>>2052923>>2052925So, no.
>>2053041asterleeds does feel like an actual city but that doesn't make it a good game
>>2053502yeah it's the only good part about the gameIt's weird how many people in the /vg/ thread take it overly serious
horny...
>>2053038NGS is just a skinwalker that took on the PSO2 name cause Sega knew it would have died in months without 10 years of cosmetics and attachment, I love sci-fi but Halpha is one of the most boring settings in existence.
>Log in finally>Actual good new idles and emotesWhy are they going all out on good emotes and idle animations after everyone left?!
>>2052553300 runs for a single recipe (board) just to have it explode despite having a specialized PM, Korean MMO bad RNG combined with permanently destroyed boards FURTHER combined with literal permanent damage to the weapon on a failed grind reducing it's maximum grind cap>>2052724It's literally the worst tho?
is there a pyc anchor...
>>2053905Just post your characters bro, let's see your custom slut.
>>2053940nta but is it even within the board rules to pyc
>pss>only talk about other games and pso2Fuck off subhuman cancer from vg
>>2054004Not sure desu, I'd say someone should make a trash thread, but I don't know how well that would go nowadays
>>2054013could always just go aco, I'm sure trash would get invaded by someone obsessed with spaded content or whatever once they learned of itbut yeah
>>2054014I can make an aco thread tomorrow, not sure how long it'll stay up though
>>2054017not long since people just never know it exists these days
>>2053140its more like sega paid for the lot (server hosting) years in advance but is unwilling to put development funds back into it and it will keep running as a slot machine in a vacant lot until it makes its pricey proprietary engine development cost back (never).>>2053786sega be like we make continents on the scale of mata nui/fortnite island and then you peel back and see what they actually achieved and its basically lego island, it would not look out of place with 1997 geometry design. they had a perfect design with PSO2 random terrain generation within their budget and they soiled themselves instead>>2053895PSO2 is PSU2 there is literally zero reason to play PSU
are the old school shit2 redrum players still around?
>>2048754
>>2052392Gearing up in PSU Clementine was effortless, I have a full set of Quebbler set with all the guns and techniques set up no problem with maybe 80 hours playtime.
Why the thread move here
>>2054194/vg/ thread keeps ending up archived due to long inactivity.
>>2054194Because this is the board for literally dead games
>>2054194jpkek bumpslave finally got bored and stayed in the BP general
>>2054135What the hell is this game
>>2054420Abomination simulator
Not a phantasy star in my eyes. A really bad copy of vrchat, second life or imvu. They only care about money.
>>2054300ngs was never alive to begin with.
Why would you destroy your legacy for dumb porn
>>2054135>>2054433XDDD this has as much phantasy star in it as the last wow expasions had "war"craft
>XDDDSomehow this board has worse faggots
>>2054433One day, I should replace all spheres with cocks just to spite sphere users
leave it to /pso2g/ to spread their cancer over /vm/ with a false pretense of "phantasy star series"
>>2054552honestly I'm surprised it took this long for an unabashed gooner "mmo" to contaminate vm. that or maybe we already had it and i didn't notice. aren't elsword and that other one long time threads?
Any sluts online?
>>2054021SEGA didn't pay, though. Microsoft footed the bill for a lot, including the servers Phil Spenser is a PSO fan and did what he could to get it over here.
>>2054562fuck off I can use the catalog and see /terag/
>>2054135LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO AHAHAHAHA
>>2054304Wasn't he the one who wanted a JP only general? lmao
>>2054562>unabashed gooner "mmo"wrong, its a literal tumor on the series.https://pso2.com/players/news/hirointerview/>With PSO2, the idea was to have something for users to look forward to every week and that updates would arrive every two weeks. NGS has the goal of taking longer to create and release larger updates every six months. This means that content will come in waves. He mentions that the development team understands that there are users who play through all the content and then stop, so they are looking at ways to ensure players come back to enjoy every major update. However, this doesn’t mean that there will be absolutely no updates outside of every six months, as the expansion of quests and systems will come every two to three months. It is also the goal of the development team to ensure players enjoy seasonal events and the release of new items while they wait for the next region on Halpha to be released.>The Main Story will be updated alongside the release of new regions on Planet Halpha. Side-Story Tasks will be released every two to four months. The pace of NGS Story content release will be slower compared to PSO2. All players must go through the story content, so there will be fewer story tasks than there were in PSO2.>Aina and Manon are both considered to be heroines. In PSO2, Matoi was very popular and having two heroines increases the likelihood that more players will like them.
My balls are so full...
>>2054987Wanna dp a fat assed minheight together?
>>2054667>SEGA didn't pay, thoughsega paid in advance for their long dues and phantasy star was sacrificed for it.https://www.4gamer.net/games/521/G052100/20230524041/they had no remote work system when the c thing struck. sin chronicle died an early death because of that, as they were left waiting for one team after another to finish up before they could start. +cost. and the knowhow of pso2 couldn't be applied to the new engine. +cost. they had to spend iirc 6 months after launch making the cast robotwear system again for ngs. +cost.so when it finally came time to releasing pso3 or a sequel to pso2 they fucked the series over instead. they became so fucking broke from this shit there was zero budget to do collabs and they said that "they wanted to set the full story first before doing collabs" when its more like they blew the budget beforehand. creative space gets entirely sporadic updates from a completely different development team that is dependent on the "popularity of the mode" i.e they are broke as shit to do regular my room updates that fun scratch in pso2 did.they will keep running this shitshow until it makes back for what was already paid for in advance. which is basically never.
>>2055029When and where
>>2055043and who
>>2054441If you played the game at beginning you'd know that it was originally supposed to be a Japanese version of second life. They literally even had their own Phantasy Star version of Twitter for the players to use tied to the game for RP that never really took off so they had to close it.
>>2054980Aina and Manon suck horseshit as heroines, AI generated characters and story.
Yeah manon could suck my gock dry
so no colab this month wtf sega... if they dont give us a based colab next month like jujutsu kaisen or nikke ill fuck sierra.
>>2055835why would you want collabs when they have been screened for stuff for a generalist appeals to both japanese and western audience rated tv screenable for babies, are typically isekai slop, and are mentioned to be "now limited to ac scratch in ngs because making them into gameplay in pso2 disrupted their game development"?there will never be knight gear as a mining base boss. there will never be encountering odin in the forest and in tokyo. there will never be cougar nx eq. there will never be an AIS battle against ramiel. there will never be a fairy tale team room. there will never be sakura wars npcs. there will never be godzilla in the lobby. there will never be a to aru virtual on PVP. there will never be attack on titan in the lobby. the only gameplay collab you will get is sonic 2006.iswtg the amount of global version originated players and westerners huffing hopium and calling official stance reposting as dooming because they are fucking clueless when everything has been laid bare with the interviews which are not even that hard to find because this game is basically no news otherwise.
>>2055835>NikkeYou fucking wish
>>2055835Have patience, anon.
pso2 was a mistake
>>2055889Oh maybe it's good I didn't spend my last measly 20 mil.
>>2055932Just be like your average NGS player, log in spend hundreds $$$, play 5 minutes, idle 5 hours, log out. Infinite money glitch because people are stupid.
>>2055923Character customization was a mistake. You pick the Barbarian or the Sorceress and that should be it. None of this slider shit or paid outfits.
>>2055941PSO had a body slider both for height and weight before you were even born.
>>2055952Yeah but it's to adress fat people like you.
pso2 was always a dumb cashgrab for nostalgia and NGS is even more of a cashgrab, so much so you can't barely tell this is phantasy star
>>2055961Why do you assume im fat?
>>2055968I logged into ngs some time ago and I didn't know if I was in a redlight district from vrchat or a drugs den in some dark aley full of ni***s
>>2055973you just outed yourself as a lobby shitter that stays in central city instead of kvaris or stia
why does sega keep pretending the game is "NEW" and "POPULAR"
my gock is popular with minheights desu
>>2056208Because they are just as delusional as their players. Would be hilarious to find out the game is hemorrhaging money.
>general so dead it went to /vm/Probably for the best. I would occasionally lurk before the global launch, but since global, the general had been dogshit (to be fair, that applies to the entirety of /vg/ at this point).I just wish I actually played back then instead of starting with global, only to see the game be killed off in favor of its inferior half-sequel. I tried playing NGS again recently after over a year away, but it's still quite boring. They've barely added anything beyond MARS (Dark Falz mode but lamer) and very minor gameplay changes.I fully expect the game to be shutdown soon. That roadmap they showed and the clear lack of direction when looking at the game's story and content has me convinced. I will be sad, but it's better to just rip the band-aid and start fresh. PSO2 was fun, but all good things must come to an end at some point.
>>2056368it was fine for the first year but we're on year 5 now and its getting kinda sad that they pretend that its still "NEW"
>>2056375>Probably for the best.It is. The thread archived before reaching bump limit 3 times in a row. lol

>>2056859Playing Blue Protocope lmao
>>20568592chanIdiot
>>2056375>I fully expect the game to be shutdown soon.You people have been saying this since the first day of NGS. It probably costs Sega no more than $1000 to push out a scratch ticket that the Japanese salarymen will dump a combined $5000 into. The roadmap exists only to string along the remaining copeGODS who think NGS is a game and not a chatroom masquerading as a game. Gotta keep those daily metrics up you see.
>>2056980HMZK created a base built on lies, then recycled everything. Snake oil salesman in digital form. Sega still isn't aware they've been bamboozled.
>>2056924Bullshit.

>>2063158so bpsr is the pso2 killer?
wtf is a "standing" quest?
Just a heads up since I know a lot of ex-/tofg/ players are here. Tower of Fantasy is getting an MMO mode on the 25th that removes all gacha, and you can unlock costumes and stuff that was in the gacha in the open-world doing content. I remember when ToF launched years ago and we had a general on /vg/. It was actually a fun general for a while until it slowly died out over time. >>>/v/726029132
>>2063407If anyone's interested I plan on reviving the general on /vg/. Will do so a day before the launch so we can discuss the game and get reacquainted.
>>2063158they invaded here because even amerifats and weebs have given up on this game>>2063407tof was good but it was only groundbreaking when it released next to retem, now its considerably less impressive and gacha games are only designed for 2 years of good content. everything after sucks, even if you turn it into an mmolike
>>2063158I gave BP a fair shot but it's just not a good game and you can do all of the content the day you started not including redo content like "master mode".It's honestly just like NGS but with really really bad character creation and customization, and way worse housing system mixed with a stamina system and way worse daily chores.
>>2063573and yet its still packing 10,000 concurrent players even without sea, japan and china player access, it must be doing something right even if its "worse" than ngs.
>>2063592Both are running on the same path>NGS also started off with healthy numbers & lost 70% of its player base within 2 months>BP already down 90% of its player base within a monthDifference is NGS customization is great at keeping a few whales around to keep the lights on.Will BP have such staying power in half a decade?I just don't see people logging in to do the same 3 boring as sin dailies, and focus point dump for 5 years straight.
>>2063603literally every sentence of this post is delusional
>>2063607You think so? well ok.
>>2063502It has promise for people who never played ToF to begin with. The world actually looks beautiful since they updated the graphics. The combat is typical action gacha combat, but the animations look cool. Has a good amount of side content and the character customization is good. Would be nice to get the general going again and see everyone posting their characters like we did years ago.
>>2063610if all the cancer stays on /bpsrg/ then i'll give it a try
>>2063407Bad timing with Aion 2 releasing on the 19th and being F2P.We can also toy with the character creator in another day.
>>2063618mmo addicts will bounce between bothbesides aion 2 is only for PC and needs higher specs to play than tower of fantasytower of fantasy running on decent PCs and being on console helps
>>2063610>The world actually looks beautiful since they updated the graphics.you mean turn the washed out apocalyptic world of aesperia and apply reshade to it? nobody cares except content creator grifters>The combat is typical action gacha combat, but the animations look coolits still the one button game that used gadgets to cover it, and it killed all the air attack animations and made them ground attack animations since the china region arc. several of the china characters onwards are either dodge spam or one cast switch spam or held attack spam. and several gadgets are p2w only, and it fell into the character = movement/utility tech gadget hole. even if you make it mmo free its just astra flying through the map attack on titan style and nothing else matters. even though it is better at presenting space exploration than ngs, I ask myself why should anybody care now? >Has a good amount of side contentpretty sure they deleted several left and right to "streamline the game" I mean sure it has mecha and real minigames and a real casino and premade mini hotel room and like twenty worlds and real equipment improvement but for what really when new character powercreep the shit out of past character and you just run with fiona and press tornado and nuke the whole map as the main way to play and they never really expanded on that custom 2nd skill gimmick so its reached the conceivable end of innovating>and the character customization is good.the only legit praise because it is indeed grab and go>Would be nice to get the general going again and see everyone posting their characters like we did years agogame died on its own accord with collect the orb china nation and by adding in character exploration point search its just an afk simulator probably worse than ngs because it actually had a good game potential to begin with unlike ngs
>>2063407>>2063610https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wrOKYUclkc>The weapons are free but you get them once a day for free, once you get your weapon it's removed from the weapon pool so you don't get dupes. You can otherwise craft the rift notes to get weapons by grinding them out in-game. Interesting system. If I remember correctly the weapons give you the corresponding characters too, right? They're basically just giving out everything for free that players had to previously pay money for? There's also going to be an auction house. I don't know how much money ToF makes but there's no way the MMO mode is completely free, unless they still have the gacha server and whales still play on that for some reason. There's gotta be cosmetics in an optional store to sustain the game going forward, but they have to make the MMO mode enjoyable for players to stick around.
>>2063708at the end of that video he points out there's an in-game store where you can buy resonance modules and dark crystals as well as a BPalthough he says it's not p2w in the sense that it gives you a power advantage. we'll see how true this is when people are doing pvp.
>>2063708the auction house in domain 9 was easily one of the worst features in the game, ditto for the one appearing in fire emblem shadows. but anyway tof already adds old unit weapons to the shop to buy with bonus currency for free and to the gold orb pool so it doesn't really add anything to the game by making old weapons free because they are already next to free in the main game. maybe don't false advertise?
>>2063708If you're familiar with the auction house in Throne & Liberty, it's going to be like that. In T&L you can buy lucent with real money which lets you buy shit off the auction house. Or you can grind out the gear and put that up for sale for lucent. >>2063722It's not just old weapons though. It's every weapon but to go up a tier you have to get every weapon from their own pool tier. At least that's what it sounds like.
it's going to have to compete with where winds meet and aion 2. not sure how many are still playing blue protocol but it has to compete with that too. not looking good.
>>2063735The only thing NGS is "competing against" is VR Chat, and it lost
>>2063748well I was talking about tower of fantasy
>>2063735It's competing with Duet Night Abyss too, but from what I hear that game is shit.
>>2063748the only thing ngs competes with is a lost battle against pso2
>duet night abyssabysmal dogshit>tower of fantasyabysmal dogshit
>>2063776name active games that aren't abysmal dogshit
>>2063776We're playing Blue Prococol.
>>2063855Aion 2
Blue protocol fucking sucks bro.
So do I!
>>2064254When are you sucking my gock dry?
>>2064225It does suck and so does NGS
Zaibros keep node safe from this schizophrenic faggot thanks
>>2064305Tonight…
>>2064336It's worrisome that NGS sucks less than BP
>>2064758the new and shiny effect is strongboth suck but I guess NGS cosmetics is slightly less suck, and you can look hornier
>>2064758Both suck in their own waysBP is an attempt at a gameNGS is an attempt at trendchasing without understanding whyCould be worse. Could be aion 2 with p2w out the ass
>>2063573>like NGS but with bad character creation/customization,sounds like a selling point because what ngs does spectacularly backfires>hair colorlighting engine of ngs sucks for anime aesthetic, green hair looks like seaweed with a lack of internal lighting which base pso2 had. theres no luminosity slider its baked into a RGBA grid>skin toneugly for an anime aesthetic with vein lines>shift eye position on the facehairstyles assume default eye position to place the hair fringe parting and ngs physics fucking suck there is no leeway alot of creations turn out ugly by not sticking to the norm the devs have to template on, other games realize that fringe customization importance>multiple body slidersmade more so for body dysphoria and looks anhydrous on purpose and makes worm torsos and stump legs with no muscle definition like the pokemongo avatar change when you compare pso2 and ngs>voice customizationpso2s weakness was 1 or 2 lines assigned for melee ranged and tech and they replied that they can't let people freely assign due to technical difficulties so because ngs classes are mostly mono type you only hear 1 or 2 lines you barely hear the full voice capability like autoword is just half ass solution>concludepso2 sliders got overcomplicated for the wrong reasons and its also more effort than its worth for most players like especially when lighting is so shit you need premium camera lighting and when the game clusterfucks with particle effects that you can't see the character, ironically what they got rid of just attacks for to see the character, but if you turn off the effects the combat feels even more shit because they used particle effects to hide it. I don't think there is a single example I can think of where character customization ruins itself the way ngs did. even if you complete your character 95% of other players will be stuck in a hole and whats the point in slider variety its just to see ugly characters 95% of the time at this point.
struck a nerve
>>2064830I mean yeah being given so much freedom will cause some people to create ugly characters but I rather see a handful of ugly characters + dozens of unique characters instead of seeing the same boring carbon copy clones everywhere like all of the other mmorpgs.It's also fun to toy around with accessories and make something unique yourself and it's the only reason I still bother logging in at all.
>>2064853>but I rather see a handful of ugly characters + dozens of unique characters instead of seeing the same boring carbon copy clones everywhere like all of the other mmorpgs.players who become town statues by afking in an idle pose in ngs are the worst, its like stone sculptures commemorating heroes who saved the world, and thats the truth, there is not really anything to do on this world, we got parachuted for nothing.>It's also fun to toy around with accessories and make something unique yourself and it's the only reason I still bother logging in at all.theres probably more fun to be had with that in even one first playthrough of code vein than this. sure you can't show it to everybody but everybody in ngs has accessory view turned off anyway due to spherebeasts so that they look stupid lemeow
>>2064876I guess we can agree to disagree, I personally think proper outfit, accessory, face/body paint use makes extraordinarily unique characters in both pso2 and pso2 ngs.
>>2064876you're focused way too much on people making bad charactersif you want to see what happens when you have a "safe" cc look at xiv
>>2064901you get bored when you create the perfect template that looks good in any costume and you only meet 8 players for screenshots instead of 12 and everyone just mashes exit. letting everyone zoom all over the place at sanic speed presents left gathering oportunities, who wudda thought. creative space got too generic base building material rather than modern prefabs that only people obsessed with it make it and true chill zones are non existent as a resulteverything also got more expensive in the player market because of a lack of shop pass to sell drops before they get bludgeoned by oversupply, the gutting of stackable discounted scratch tickets and no more set box gold scratch. unsellable when registered layerwear tickets already presented long term supply issues which sega pats themselves on the back for but was never what pso2 was about until the ep4-5 directors came onboard. this contributes to the mass player uglification, even with the jailbreak benchmark being a thing because even that is too difficult for "what even are folders" modern players to figure out.the sum of ngs design flaws and issues overshadow any positive it has easily. hard for me to believe that blue protocol is worse.
>>2064909yeha I'm looking at one of the best collabs phantasy star ever had and I don't even like xiv orange lane attack and topdown focused slop which ngs turned into with the starless and onwards.
>>2064911Yeah I wish NGS kept base pso2s pace, I liked having to balance energy with gap closers/travel arts.Also I found just attacks oddly addicting, stringing your skills together properly felt good.Also to be fair the market was super cheap early on, some of the best idles now were only 300k during NGS launch now they're like 20+ million.>>2064913I'm sad we never got that collab on global there's a few things that would perfectly complete my character from it.Also moogle mag....
ngs is the only good mmo on the marketnot because its good but because everything else is worse by landslides
>>2065176I think it's such that every mmo is only good for certain things at this point
>2065176genuinely mind blowing levels of copium on display here today
>>2065176trvthnuke
Damn niga thats a lotta words.
>>2065176if you want to talk low standards only in the scifi space games even tof exists for an mmo, and having aged this much has several 3 star weapons in the general pool like r-mag ruby that is basically laser klee with a dodge attack thrown taunt that groups enemies, a skill cube that increases damage by maintaining bounce distance and a gigalaser ultimate, while incorporating burn augment support and perfect dodge causing witch timengs has neutered itself to the level of one button games and its worse than that and psofags are retards for saying past phantasy star series exist, the psu battle and engine system were long due for an overhaul being outdated on its existence and ngs with ult ex style animation shit is not the answercostume gacha games are the worst when locked onto a single planet with stupidity plot and obvious tethering to the previous title not for fanservice but for survival, remove pso2 from the pso2: ngs title and it would shutdown overnight as it cant hobble on its own, its been years since an actual standalone phantasy star game
>>2065428you underestimate ngs because youre upsetits objectively better
>>2065663Yes, ngs the greatest mmo of all time...that can't be bothered to create rare variants of mobs coloring them silver and gold, can't be bothered with flavor text, doesnt kill off dext, dangles apha reactors, has a empty quest list and town npcs that dont react to developments, still has less weapon styles and photon arts than its predecessor, cant be bothered giving any character proper development, is stuck on tutorial planet. Iirc even aura kingdom has summons or pets while ngs is like press the photon blast button twice you see we did ult during cooldown arent we quirky????? And its like multicast ults are like donkey years ago idea, even pso2 did that already with build up arts and those didnt require cutins. Theres a reason this game moved here.
See? You don't have to constantly bump the thread now
Crazy that its possible to have a modicum of discussion now
>>2066151/vm/ is pretty comfy plus I think our worse overall posters are primarily in /bpsrg/ now.
>>2066084No one said anything about anything lilbro.
>>2066157They are. t. Playing both so drop by that general from time to time
>>2066173Same although I haven't logged into BP for 4 days now but I stop by the thread every now and then to mingle.
now if only prices dropped like the time bpsrg released still..
>>2066234We both know that's not happening especially with all that nmeseta in circulation
>>2066250Post more ass
>>2066250it's not.. rip>>2066277aco
>>2066250funny how they created multiple cradle pse maps to continue to ruin the games economy even after pso2, and then made it worse by having meseta boosts apply to auto sell drops. they could have made the furniture shop cost meseta but they don't because they want to "separate it from the main game mode"at this point ngs should be put on maint mode, delete all the cradle maps and have n-meseta be convertable back to meseta at some cap like 2m meseta a week or something similar to the idola/pso2es shop, and localize pso2es and bring back idola. they can come up with a solution to the ngs shitshow later. with how shelved it is its just wasted maintenance and development. a ton of people would come back to the game if pso2 was standalone to ngs, still received updates and unfucked the lighting.
>nice! a phantasy star series thread omg>it's the 4 pso2g subhumans spaming about other superior video games like /vg/yikes
>>2065176I actually agree with this after playing nearly everything. It’s a 7/10 game as a whole, but it stays that way. Every other MMO and ongoing game is like a fucking roller coaster of one Batman expansion followed by a 10/10 cutscene followed by the best raid ever then a content drought for 11 months straight and they add in bedsheet covers to the microtransaction store for 68$.The only other better “MMOs” are Wuthering Waves, Diablo and Palia. You go try play Theone and Liberty for 45 hours and New World or Warframe or Black Desert or fucking Tera.
>>2064924>Also to be fair the market was super cheap early on, some of the best idles now were only 300k during NGS launch now they're like 20+ million.Inflation has definitely hit really hard. But, there is a portion of that related to the increase in income we've got over the years. Back then, meseta was a lot harder to farm out.
>>2066366>talk about PS and video games like mature adults>loser tranny who spams steam chart bait seethesmany such cases
>>2066385>Every other MMO and ongoing game is like a fucking roller coaster of one Batman expansion followed by a 10/10 cutscene followed by the best raid ever then a content drought for 11 months straight and they add in bedsheet covers to the microtransaction store for 68$.this has been ngs ever since v2 retard. they even put n-bunny suit in the ac shop for $30 instead of reviving it in sg scratch like the cunts that they are. literally nobody in town uses the npc totalwear they substituted in.
>>2066366HAHAHA LMAOOOOOOOO
>>2066412That’s nothing. Go play another mmo for a few dozen hours. Just pick any one of them. You’ll see.
>>2066444I haven't touched ngs in months and I am loving every other mmo lol
>>2066446you love them so much you come to /vm/ and click phantasy star forum
>>2066450>"go play another mmo top kek" >I did, having a lot of fun>??!!! I AM ANGRY AT YOU WHY ARE YOU HERE I AM JEALOUS RAAAAAAAAH yeah dude you are ok in the head
>>2066453do you have a ngs tattoo above the crack of your butt?
>>2066450>>2066454y r u angry
>>2066366damn holy fuck>>2066450quiet nigger 4chan has nothing to do with the game
>>2066455>>2066457
He is mad, lol
>>2066250If you see me around like that, please grope me~
>>2066444>Go play another mmo for a few dozen hours. Just pick any one of them. You’ll see.along other games I picked up tof again just to see if it would hold up and its as dated as retem but the character creator is actually fun you know what character creation is supposed to be about and mirroria is still impressive as an anime cyberpunk city. there's no future for ngs, zip zero you are all running on pso2 fumes>>2066450I came here to laugh at you for defending the game for 5 years straight
>>2066450>haha ngs is good, go play other games and you will see what im talking about >hey, I played other games and had a lot of fun, will stop touching ngs >you can only play 1 game, ngs is the best, why are you here if you like other games better huh huh retard
>playing mmos for gameplay>when the whole point of mmo gameplay is to keep you engaged just enough to view the shop dailyWe're in 2025. If you want real gameplay other genres do the same thing better with more respect for your time and without the microtransactions.If you're not logging on to socialize, dress up, or plap you're lost.In these relevant metrics, NGS is among the best.
>>2066645pso2 had both, retard. ngs doesnt deserve to still be running as it doesn't excel in either being even more dated than pso2 already was.
NGS is the Episode 3 of PSO2
>>2066674its the reboot of pso2 according to sega which is the funniest shit because it sure as hell hasn't managed that at all, being a soulless reboot that ignores player feedback and does whatever sega wanted to do from the beginning like neutered shop pass, skimping on update rate and dollar store storywriters.
>>2066656Pso2 would be a better game but it was killed. No one is arguing against that.I'm saying that the mmo space is so trash that shitty NGS is better than a majority of your other options.
>>2066689considering pso2 is the soulless reboot of pso1 it only makes sense really desu
>>2066695bruh ngs is at an entry level mmo from just completing tutorial planet and they chose to cut the update tap anyway. not even sega cares about this product.
>>2066695I'm begging you to try playing a real MMO (not created in Asia, not released in the last 5 years), just once
>>2066472>>2066506Hello low value males
>>2066721What do you play MMOs for?I can easily play a real game in a genre that actually innovates instead of another shitty mmo .
>>2066702The soulless reboot of PSO1 was Episode 3
>>2066752we don’t talk about card games
Episode 3 was the best game in the PSO1 "series."
>>2066837funny way of spelling ps zero
If PSO1 is so good, why aren't you playing it?
>>2067020???? I am playing it. Why aren't you?
>If you're not logging on to socialize, dress up or plap, you're lost.The cancer is now pretending that their disease was actually the purpose of the franchise they killed
>>2067054lets be real the cancer is sega that never knows how to do their ips good unless the players tell them which they conveniently ignored, and the failure director hmzk who doesn't even play the game, not the rats strung along.
>>2067054>but actually it is the player’s fault Sega made a bad game!!!retard
>shitten already back to his usual shitposting after being alone in bpsr tooLmao
>>2066758But the best way to deal with world ending threats is to settle it over a children's card game!
>>2067089It's the player's fault that they continue playing and supporting a bad game monetarilyAnyone that stuck around after the first month of NGS is just as guilty as Sega is
>>2067049I was playing it when I made that post.
>>2067216What level are you atm? I'm 117 on my RAmarl doing box runs to kill time between now and the Christmas event
>>2067222I'm level 11 lol I just started today

>>2067409hard pass
Nobody ever talks about Zero and Universe, are they bad?
>>2067409I wonder how many people started and already stoped to masturbate..all their servers are full.
>>2067453my minheight is built..if you wanna
>5 years and anon still hasn't learned what minheight meansgrim
>>2067451Zero was a DS (not 3DS) game so it's basically a de-make of PSO1 from the Dreamcast to the N64, and then the story is crappy anime/VN bullshit. It's interesting that it exists but the only real appeal is that you get to say you played a game that most people never heard of, let alone played.Universe gets talked about sometimes and it's actually a pretty good PSO1.5 with a private server that's been open for a few years now. It feels like it's from the same generation as PSO1 but has more modern controls and goes a little deeper into RPG stat-based gameplay instead of PSO2 moving in more of an action direction.
only good game was pso1 and pspi, the rest are some anime bullshit and now this series doesn't even have a face anymore, tragic but it is what it is cya
I’m a minheight and that means you can pick me up and use me however you’d like!

>>2067739LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO AHAHAHAHA
when will sega start acknowledging player feedback? their own ideas arent working so may as well start listening to the fans.
>>2067778NGS has been out for 4 years, they clearly don't give a fuck
>>2067778'the fans' LOL on the western side, just gooners, asylum seekers, mentally disabled, really dumb niggerson the eastern side, die hard fans giga whales and generally more okay with p2 things as per the asian market the game: what is this even about? just slaped in some counter-parry / 100% invincible all fight, which is a retard proof design / using old icons for nostalgia bait
>>2067791>>2067784game is called "fan"tasy star. they should listen to the fans. nobody asked for NGS. I'm sure more people would prefer base PSO2 being operated on.
>>2067778nigga, you've been killing the same enemies since day 1
You only have yourself to blame for playing NGS.
>>2067806I'm playing Classic though
imagine playing a dead game
>>2067810imagine not lewding everyone you wanted to in that dead game
whyd u play ngs when vrchat exists
Imagine waiting 8 fucking years before releasing the game in the west then instantly killing the game by replacing it with NGSNo matter what you do, you'll never be as retarded as Sega
>No one even posts maintenance shots anymore. Genuinely grim.
>>2067821they are still more rich than you
Vrchat is too gay desuAnons kept asking me to fuck their vrfus in front of them
I am so glad I don't have to deal with you losers on a daily basis.
>>2067824When my indie game comes out I'll be richer than them. Just you wait.
>>2067855You didn't have to get bailed out so technically you're already richer
>>2067823Maybe the years of shit content, mismanagement, drama, and shitposts have caught up with the general.
>>2049401Everyone is still playing that though, there's tons of lines open at any time. Bipsarr doing ok.
I like this game and i like sex!
>>2067363Can we fuck? Im ship1.

>>2067855Eta? Lol
The hair scratch is gonna be a gold mine
>>2068174Only if you land a few of the big ones, every other hair will crashOh wait, I was thinking back when the game was activeYou're right, the hair scratch will be easy money
You are part of the problem
Im not a problem in bed.
