Games / Phantasy Star Online 2 Japan *New Power Update* English version at PAX

« on: June 21, 2012, 01:51:26 AM »

There is now a clause in the PSO2 JP Terms of Service that mentions that the connection to the game server is restricted to only those within Japanese territory. Should be fine though.



Anybody playing?

PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2: Release version patch
Most recent version: Aug. 9, 2012

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Download file, extract to your game's data\win32 directory.
By default, this will be:
32-bit: C:\Program Files\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin\data\win32
64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin\data\win32

Warning:
This is still against the ToS. While it's very unlikely you'll get banned for using it, it's still possible.
Using the <target>, <class>, <pa>, <technic>, or <area> macros will broadcast the translated message. Do not use them in public parties.

Translation notes:
We went with Dexterity/DEX instead of Ability/ABL or Skill/SKL. I felt that both of those names were ambiguous ("Ability" is a unit special that's not directly related, Skill would make it seem connected with actual skills). Qwerty suggested "Knack"/NAK, which... I can't really explain why we rejected.
The "Gulf" line of monsters has been subtly renamed. They are now Gulf, Fangulf, Gulfur, and Fangulfur, because... well... Fangulfur. Garongo is finally properly named. Big "Varder" is being called Big "Vardha" to make the reference slightly clearer.
Rewrote the mission descriptions. They were very wordy.
Xeno is now Zeno (as in Zeno's paradox). Rodio is now Rogio (as in... we have no idea, really). Maloo is now Marlu (as in the minor planetoid).

I decided i wanted a few more baftas, So i made another one. I've decided this is a prequel for no reason.

In this thrilling edition of the award winning Tank Story saga, The person the camera looks at most of the time looks in a shop window.

I have noted that video quality is slightly lower than should be acceptable, As i'm such a brilliant artist i'm going to say this was on purpose.

• Randomly generated dungeons entice you with the sweet, sweet promises of treasure and … things.
• Old-school pixel goodness. Face lovingly hand-animated monsters and enjoy the great taste of beautiful, individually rendered items on top of a sea of gorgeous, potent tile-work.
• Incredibly complicated crafting system! Wield relics of the Great Elven/Dwarven conflict; grind down ingots to make powdered aluminum and shove it directly up your nostrils!
• Deploy cunning traps to defeat your foes!
• Infinite replay value: choose from a selection of mind-boggling skills to create your character. A new gameplay experience awaits every time!

I thought this was good enough and suiting for a topic, So post your highscores, Awesome finds, Completion, Stuff such as that.
