I do think it is a case of people loving PSO, I would imagine most people have never played with the first. I think PC players are starved for a new MMO experience right now. I think that new MMO high is being chased by everyone. They have entirely under estimated how lots of folks would play Phantasy Star Online 2. We have 3 boats over here, in comparison with the 12 in JP. It is insane to me that a match would be released by them to this larger audience and hope for it to do fine with a fraction of funds. And it shows, the client cannot handle the amount of players packaged in the lobbies right now and the time is operating 10FPS.
When I finished the tutorial is that outside of hud elements without these problems I noted, the user interface is dreadful. Everything is at a submenu, even bothering anything requires one to right click an item, then enter your character sheet, then realize that, well that was useless as it does not acknowledge that you were picking a piece of gear, and then go through another menu on your character sheet to equip items. Oh, got some scratch cards? Go into this random menu in the store section, then no where on the webpage does it tell you how you can use them, don't worry, just right click this random segment where it basically says you are going to have to pay, then go into a right-click menu, and also one of those options is, from the like, six, is"use the scratch ticket".
Now put that type of obfuscation over each and every menu item. It's -so- weird, and it's been like this I can't even fathom how weird the menus are on a controller, as this doesn't appear to gain any player.I've been playing it on Xbox for a couple of weeks and holy shit the UI is so fucking obtuse that it makes it so hard to work out anything. I am really trying hard to come to grips with it although I know it's an old game. And like I want to play with it and that is what is making me push. I can not imagine what people will make of it. It is only what. Selecting a mission. Equipping an item. Upgrading a weapon. It's only a nightmare and poorly explained. I go in and I stink at things and the fun of it, but at level 25 and after a couple of weeks of play, I don't have any idea about what I meant to be trying to achieve.
It is a huge bummer people have some serious problems with it. I was able to get in and perform for about a hour or so and gameplay-wise I was having a good time. It feels just like I recall PSO playing. The interface is awful though. Selecting another story mission was a woman at a kiosk and just two different screens. I know Phantasy Star Online 2 is outdated. I think if you can get past this and need a loot grind you could do worse. If that's well worth the huge install size to you is just another thing.This is very good to understand; I had to stop here so that I didn't see much past it. But I'm expecting to get back into it this day and mess. After I was banging out Kirkland's very best rappies I had been having a good time.
SEGA do not give a damn about PSO, when they did then it might have been published ages ago, there's been an English translation for years.If SEGA didn't give a damn than why would they continue to upgrade Phantasy Star Online 2 with new content so often, and why would they have continued to sponsor Phantasy Star Online 2 in Japan for well over 8 years? SEGA initially announced they would be bringing it to the west if they launched Phantasy Star Online 2, they probably determined that a match such as this would not fare well. Their home market, the eastern market, is a lot less saturated with big name MMOs. WoW, Guild wars, several others were around the time PSO2 launched in japan, these names weren't quite as large in japan since they were here. It's the exact same reason Soul and Blade took it long to come over, and it's the exact same reason that the west never got monster hunter frontier. Our economy is far different.
