Phantasy Star 4 is my favorite game of all time.

Aye Wren, aye. Carry on good android. But I'm getting it for the VITA myself. Kinda curious why the OP doesn't mention this. *shrugs* PSP2 was awesome.

The OP hasn't been updated since the announcement a year and a half ago. Someone needs to smack Bamelin in the back of the head.

Rex Dart · April 2012

Darn, I missed the Beta signup. My current computer probably couldn't run it anyway.

Really excited for this. I hope people enjoy it! Or maybe they'll do another one for NA players.

The ended on the 16th. Some people were automatically signed up when they navigated to the page (me).

The beta starts in 5.5 hours!

blaze_zero · April 2012

I think it starts way late though. Probably past the time I should be reasonably awake.

Last I read, around 2 or 3am EST.

4 PM Japan time.

servers being weird, or something? i can't connect to any ship

blaze_zero · April 2012

Can't wait to jump on later today and mess around. I just hope my computer doesn't implode.

astronautcowboy3 · April 2012

It's a beta. They're getting hit pretty hard, plus the servers are in Japan.

interrobang · April 2012

Spoiler:

it's like i never quit playing PSU 8->

spookymuffin · April 2012

PSU? Eww.

interrobang · April 2012

so far this feels like a combination of both games

it doesn't feel as rigid as PSO combat did by a long shot

Mostlyjoe13 · April 2012

PSP2 went a LONG way to making me respect what they tried with PSU. PSU was still naff, but at least they were trying something different. Can't wait to see how it looks on the VITA.

Frosteey · April 2012

I'm in the thing as Memento maybe I shot rappies : (

interrobang · April 2012

frosteey what ship are you on

is it ship 2 (aka the best ship)

Frosteey · April 2012

I went to ship 2 block 20 then I did a thing and got a good gunblade then I tried to sell some things and got disconnected.

welcome to PSO2!

pretty sure the servers just had a stroke and died sooooooooooo :bz

Frosteey · April 2012

I was just making too much money for it to handle : (

Kasius · April 2012

got to level 11 today...

loving this game so far.

bloodyroarxx · April 2012

Man super sad I missed out on signups, watching the streams has been super hype.

Although apparently everyone gets 3 invites for friends? Can anyone confirm?

something like that, yeah

i'm a little fuzzy on the process but as soon as people figure out how to do it i'll pass mine out

Kaseius · April 2012

sign me up for passes if anyone gets some

bloodyroarxx · April 2012

apparently this gives you details, you have to navigate some moonspeak to enter a Japan captcha code though

but if anyone is willing to shoot me an invite it would be super appreciated

THESPOOKY · April 2012

Pretty excited for this game. In the meantime, I'll have to suffice with a 4th Edition game of D&D tailored after Phantasy Star IV. Current party: Numan Wizard, Android Apoethecary, Motavian Avenger, & Motavian Swordmage.

Frosteey · April 2012

Is this game actually playable now?

People are saying the lag is still there but much better today after the downtime

interrobang · April 2012

yeah it feels much nicer today, lag is still there in spots but not quite so bad

dude on the PSU Mods forum created an english translation patch that makes the game much more navigable

Shimshai · April 2012

So does it push all the PSO nostalgia buttons while at the same time developing the game in new and exciting ways?

Because that would be sweet.

it sure does

the level/character design are classic PSO and the ship/lobby music has all those delicious synth sounds you remember from pioneer II

Kupi · April 2012

Holy balls, the character creator is awesome.

Frosteey · April 2012

Things seem to be running pretty well so I'll probably be on for a bit we should play : D

Also I have two beta invites left so just PM me an email address and I'll send you one!

Kaseius · April 2012

AWESOME. Got an invite from a cool dude and it's AWESOME. Changed some text around in the beta file to run at 1680x1050 full screen and oh my gosh, it's gorgeous.

I'm on ship 5, but I can move if we have a specific one to play on. I need dudes to play with -- tonight!

interrobang · April 2012

i'm on ship 2 and frosteey is on ship 2

i'm only like level 4 though, i have been slacking off like a motherfucker in favor of tera and SC5

RoriProfessor · April 2012

How the lobby system in this game? If its similiar to PSO's we should designate a ship and room and the usual password.

chocobolicious · April 2012

I want to play this. Phantasy star is love.

Kaseius · April 2012

okay, started on ship 2.

Kasius · April 2012

I have ~~3 invites~~ one invite left if anyone is still interested. Just PM me the email I have to send it to.

Kasius · April 2012
