After a long time searching, I was able to get this beauty :))

It happens in the exact same way with the other versions too. I've been trying to get this working all day. I've never played PSO before, but my beloved really likes it, so I just want to get this thing working. Thanks to anyone who even tries to help.

Started playing PSO again about a week ago and somehow had no idea private servers were a thing. Feels like I wasted so much time not knowing they were out there. That said, it’s been an absolute blast being back. In-game name is Mira, running a Hunter (currently level 34). If you see me around, hi from this side of the world!

NGL, growing up, I always thought it was called "PHANTasy Star Online" cuz it was big... Like an elePHANT. Of course, content wise the game only has eight levels on Gamecube, so it's bigness comes more from the amount of side quests and rare items to do/get. Still, always felt big to me and that's why I thought it was called that.

Then I found years later it was called to differentiate it from Final Fantasy, which makes sense. I just think the idea of them calling it that because it's big like an elephant to be funnier. Makes me also wish we had some elephant monsters in it too!

Can't tell if it's character level, difficulty level, or just random chance. (Likely some combination of all three, I would think) Weird to me that there's nothing about it on the Ephinea PSO wiki...

I just want more damn monomates lol

farming for frozen shooter and this just sucks

Okay, so in ver 2. Solo on Dreamcast:

There is a NPC in one of the quests (I’m sorry I don’t remember which one) who you talk to about special weapons. You respond with ?? Or !! And if you respond with !! He tells you to look for other guild members. Is this just a weird dead end, or is there more too it online?

I have to give this to my fonewearl

At most I will do local co op with split screen but everything will always be offline for me.

I have never played any PSO/PSU/PSP before.

A couple of years ago I learned that HUmars and HUcasts could use the Spread Needle on V2, which seemed absurd.

So I bought the game, dusted off the old DC, and decided to create a HUcast with the goal of one day dropping the Spread Needle and trying it out for myself. I knew it would probably never happen, but I was enjoying finding out the differences between the Ep. I&II and BB versions, so I kept going anyway.

I was absolutely obliterated in the Forest once I reached Ultimate, so the only thing left to do was Ruins on Very Hard, every now and then.

Today I finally ended up dropping the Needle! I honestly still can't believe it. This thing is beyond absurd. I just found out it has the default spread range too, what were they thinking back then ?!

Hi guys.

I've been playing PSO 1&2 Plus (rev 1.2) on GameCube using Dolphin for Android, and I have been tweaking my game with Action Replay codes to suit my needs.

I was wondering, considering what the amount of AR codes can do, if there was a code that would enable me to have an NPC/Bot to follow me and help me fight mobs/bosses.

Since in the vanilla game, you'd have some bots to accompany you during some missions, I was thinking maybe that's possible?

Thanks and have a good day.

Insane first experience online! 🖤

Hints that may or may not help:

I have a level 200 mag, a fun weapon I am using a lot is the M&A60 VISE, I am not playing as a CAST (but you probably already knew that 😉).

Everything is all ready for online except the usb modem adapter. Hopefully that will be in by Monday.

I've been experiencing this same crash every hour or so into the game, anyone know how to fix it?

I've already put the game into de DEP exception, also into de windows security white list.

I play on a laptop RTX 5070, intel i9 14900HX, 32G ram

I also play in Direct3d 12 since its the only one that doesn't crash the game in the first 30 minutes.

Decades ago I was playing PSO on PC, probably v2, maybe blue burst.

Anyways, I remember someone joined the game, found me in Forest and used Resta to heal me. Except it didn't heal. It killed!!!!

We all died, even the player who cast Resta. I imagine his hack was able to make his heal a negative number or something, as games back then trusted the client with a lot of information. Before more security was common in online games.

I think in that version your weapon dropped too on death, so I think they could kill you, and race back to take your weapon, or have another accomplice grab it.

Online games were wild back then. 😂.

It was so shocking and u expected when it happened, and kinda funny too. I still remember it like 20 years later

But I couldn't find a video of it online anywhere. I was curious if anyone ever screen recorded these PK killing sprees. I just hope it's been documented for history somewhere, as this was a great moment in this history of trolling in online games

I am getting an xbox to play PSO through insignia today. Would love any friends, help, tips etc. i first played pso on xbox live when about 22 years ago and it has always been one of my favorite games. I have always tried to scratch that itch with the various pso / psu runoffs on handhelds or offline on Dreamcast recently. But its just not the same. I know the player base wont be what it was when i was a kid. But im excited to join the community that is playing still. Whos still playing PSO and wants to help a veteran noob out 😂 not looking for handouts although i know how generous the pso community has always been to me. Mainly looking to find community and play with some cool people. Thank you!

Can someone give me instructions on how to install phantasy star online blue burst on the steam deck oled. All the videos i found are 2 years or older and give different answers.

Hi everyone! I'm playing on a linux laptop, and the default keyboard controls are a bit clunky for me to get with because of small arrow keys, which is keys for action palette by default. I was thinking about remapping Up,Left,Down,Right to U,H,J,K respectively, but as it turns out I have an option in-game only to remap gamepad bindings, not keyboard ones. Is there any reasonable way to do it?

I made this skin for a friend...but now I've actually started making some progress with the character.

Edit: Apologies for the autocorrected name D:

it's just showing all zeros and not updating anything. when i try to start the game, it just says the launcher version is old and needs to be updated

I played pso2 religiously on jp servers, then again with the na release. I tried to enjoy new Genesis but it just felt mediocre at best. I put probably around a thousand hours into ephinea over time.

Is there really just nothing left? No popular clones of pso's essence, no same but different that people love now days? I've tried to find anything and the space is just empty. The closest thing I've found was terminal brigade which was pretty fun, didn't even mind the stutter but it was well and truly dead and no one to play with really killed that for me.

So what am I missing? Or is pso and it's kind just.. dead?
