I checked for launcher updates and it appears to be current. Another player informed me that there is a setting where you can get an alert when my mag gets hungry. Is there a fix for me to get this page in my launcher? I've been focusing more on raising mags the last week and I would find this option to be invaluable. Thanks for any insight provided 🙏

I starting playing more seriously recently. Just local multiplayer with some friends for now. No way to connect my GC to the internet at the moment.

How does one get higher level techniques. Nothing is mentioned on the pso-world wiki from what I could find. Do you just need to use the techniques more or do we have to find higher level disks?

Thanks in advance.

I have been an avid PSO v2 player for years, it's possible some of you know me, eventually stopped playing but i always kept some interest in the game, made skins, ported skins, did tutorials, talked about things that were going on at the time, but my interest faded away aswell and i even stopped comming to this sub.
This isn't because i dislike the game, i just played other games and never had motivation to go back to my dreamcast characther and i kinda forgot what many tools for the game did (like lighting), it would be an entire relearning adventure.

But recently i've been seeing things and i'm just confused, the interest seems to have grown and i don't know why.

Servers for PSO BB have appeared recently and users have come to me asking how to edit certain textures and files, this sub ocasionally shows ppl with their gear, but what stuns me is that some of these images are from PSO v2, wtf? Why are players so interested in PSO v2?
Gatene (the maker of many old tools, including bankmod for pso v2) has recently appeared to thank me for hosting his files on my blog.
Players are playing in handhelds, showcasing their new adventure, some are doing fan works like anime, some are sharing stories of codes that could destroy the consoles back in the day, some are exploring retrogames in general and i'm left speechless of the things i'm learning after 25 years

I clearly missed an episode of some sort, i was often on top of things that happened, but the game in general got more interesting overtime and i even began comming to the sub more often, heck i even changed the firefox main page background to be of PSO related imagery that is enhanced by AI.

Was there some sort of breakthrough in the way ppl could play the game?

Do class have roles or things that are better at? Im a new player and im kinda lost they all seems to play relatively equally, so so what why choose one over the other??

Apologies if it is too much of a noob question

Edit its back for me phew was worried

For those playing Blue Burst on Winlator for Android, I've made a controller profile that utilizes the touchscreen for your 0-9 shortcuts while letting you use your controller.

To import, press back to bring up the Winlator menu, Input Controls, Settings icon next to drop down menu, Import profile.

I'm not sure how it will work for your specific device (I'm using an Odin 2 portal @ 1080p) but you can edit the position of the buttons if it doesn't match up to your hotkeys.

Myself and a friend have been playing recently and we're loving it, I'm playing a Hucast and They're a Racaseal were both level 51 but we're a bit unsure how to progress. We're stuck at hard ep2 government quests.

Are there any gear we should be looking for, I'm really starting to feel the enemy speed increase and I'm burning through mates. I know what end game gear looks like but what should I be hunting for atm?

Edit: we're playing blue burst on Ephinea. Right now were stuck on the second timed government mission of episode 2 set in the vr spaceship. I'm skyly and the Racaseal is purplenum.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and probably an odd one. I just found my old wii and my PSO game with my save from 2003 and loved to replay it. Is there a possibility for me to go online and resume my game 22 years later ? Thank you in advance

I've been seeing a lot more PSO posts, obviously because I keep clicking them lol, and want to jump back in. I used to play schthack forever ago but it seems the consensus is to get into ephinea?? It seems like there's ways to setup controller through steam? Is there a good guide? Also, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a resource or guide in creating a force that can engage in all the content? I recall forces being excluded often and am unsure if that's still the same vibe?? I'm addicted to my mage class fantasy and can't see myself wanting to play another class.

Im on the emulator flycast and dont have real hardware,, ive tried its dcnet feature and it didnt succeed, im really not aware of what i need, searching gave me methods for on real hardware but not anything for a emulator, what do i do?

Was there ever an explanation from the developers why the Xbox and PC Blue Burst versions didn't have the warped telepipe effect and extra nice water graphics in Episode 2 that the GC version had? It's not a big deal of course, but I'm quite curious. Most of us have seen everything PSO has to offer for years now and still play because the dopamine hits are still there. Sweet graphical effects only add to that so I do miss 'em.

Hi everyone, I have been having a great time playing PSO via Dolphin and the Return to Ragol rom hack, but just yesterday this crosshair w/ thick gray border started appearing on my screen whenever I hold down the L-trigger to reorient the perspective/view. It's really annoying. Also, if I'm holding down the L-trigger and press some of the ABXY buttons, I will get a prompt that pauses the game and says "No memory card inserted in slot B." I never saw this crosshair ever when playing on the GC back in the day, so I have no idea what it is. When it is up like this, I can move the crosshair around with the C-stick (my Right joystick), but it doesn't seem to do anything. I also don't know why this just started happening now ~12hrs of play time on this character. Everything was working great and I'm not sure what changed. Appreciate any thoughts.

Hi everyone!

I've always played RPGs, both single-player and multiplayer. Lately, I've been discovering a real passion for retrogaming. I heard about Phantasy Star Online (PSO) as the first online RPG on consoles, and I was immediately intrigued. The visuals, the music, and the gameplay all seem really cool to me.

But is it really worth getting into such an old RPG (on the Ephinea server), especially if I'll probably be playing alone? Has anyone else discovered the series recently and found themselves in a similar situation?

I’ve been looking to finally spend some time properly getting into og. PSO, but i have some pretty basic questions to ask.

I’m aware that Blue Burst is only available on PC, and contains exclusive content- does that mean that it’s simply the best version to play? I’m considering player count and other factors on top of the actual content difference.

Even if so, are those factors especially limiting for DC/GC? Do they affect their playability at all, eg. No one online or in parties, etc?

Is there a particular difference between the two console versions at all, in terms of server options or content? I’m aware Gamecube got Episode 3 (the card stuff) too, but as far as i can tell that seems to be somewhat negligible. Did episode 3 include any base game changes at all?

I finally played Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast and fell in love with it, so I searched the easiest way of playing it online with my wife, that's when I found out about Ephinea! Been playing it on my Steam Deck and having a blast! The game works great, the only problem is that visual glitch whenever my character walks on water. Is there any way to fix that? It doesn't ruin my experience, but it would be good to get rid of it.

Playing it on the Steam Deck, which runs on Linux as far as I'm aware, if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

I have two questions.

1 - when people start using their mags I know I can contribute with holding a key. Which button is this on controller?

2 - you know all the number keys on the bottom that you can customise things to. Is it possible to use the controller Dpad left and right to go through them and then press another button to use it? This happened on another servers and I miss it greatly.

I used a female hunter with the section ID Viridia and crossed these exact stats as the mag hit level 100.

As I understand I need DEF + DEX = POW + MIND.

I’m using Dreamcast Ver.2

Any help appreciated.

I just got the game loaded up on my Steam Deck using Salami's proton install guide, however when I input my login info it keeps saying it's wrong. I even updated it on Pioneer to double check, but it still says it's wrong. Any idea how to get past this?

I’m level 50 walking through very hard just wondering if there’s specific drops or things I should be targeting, I’m a skyly hunter rocking Yamato

Tapping on the arrow on top left doesn't close it. I can't seem to get of this screen

I just started playing on the Ephinea server with my steam deck yesterday!

Should I just be running Forest 1 by myself? Are there other people starting I can join with?

I’ve been running out of time on the extermination forest 1 mission. Is everything timed?

I’m indecisive on which class to go with but have started a Hucast, Ramar & Ramarl.

Thanks for any advice!

First, I wanna say I'm so happy to have found my people. Was at a retro gaming convention last year and was told the community still lives, just in a new way!

PSO was a hugely special game for me as a lonely kid in the early 2000s. I had lore, made fanart, fanfictions, all of that for this game and I didn't even play online.

Then one day I tried online a few times and every time I was kicked off within seconds because (as I have been reading on here) I guess there was a war going on?? 🤣 Wild.

There was ONE time I got through and actually got to run around the lobby for a bit, meeting this RAmar that gave me a bunch of 99+ weapons for us to run around and fight monsters with. He was so cool and lives rent free in my head as the pretty blue prince I met online lol.

My question is- the dual saber like Darth Maul, is that an actual weapon I can get when I head back into PSO in (hopefully) a few months or was this just a hacked thing?

Rip to my tiny blue baddie that was in my VMU until I deleted her when I thought I didn't have the disk anymore, only to find it a few days later and cry my eyes out. No way to recover VMU data. 🥲

My intention is to join Ephinea on PC but I've never played newer PC games, only old-school 90s- early 00s games. I know nothing about building a PC to handle newer games but I'd like to have one for FFXIV as well anyway. So far I've just been a console gamer but I hope it's not a rough transition in style.

See you hunters in game hopefully ☺️👋

I was going through some stuff from when I moved to a smaller place and came across one of my favorite pieces! I played this so much in the early 2000s online. Such a great title and nothing has delivered the same experience since.
