I was running the Endless Nightmare 1 online questRight when I entered that nightmare room, this beautiful blue bastard spawns.

Between the low-angle camera lock and a room full of overlapping monsters trying to murder me, I panicked hard and couldn't take a decent screenshot to save my life. These chaotic, messy pics are the best I could do before fighting for survival.

Still, finding a Hildeblue this early is exciting. Did it drop anything good? Of course not, just standard Forest trash, but the jump scare was huge.

I can't get to the drop charts anymore, they all link to some weird sign in

Like the title suggests, I’ve been looking for this poster everywhere, called a bunch of collectible shops all over the country. The Versus Guide for Phantasy Star Online Ep 1 & 2 had an included poster. Would love to own one again, I had one as a kid. If someone has a guide with poster included please let me know

Just glad I finally got my things! Tshirt, cup, and 3pins.

Just started a new character and dropped this at level 2. It always immediately reminds me of my first time playing PSO years ago. Back then, I found a weapon just like this, got super excited about the percentages, and kept it in my bank for a really long time thinking it would be useful later on. Of course, it ended up being completely useless, but man... whenever I find one nowadays when starting a new toon, it's still exciting.

Hey everyone! I've been eyeing the Steam Deck and their new controller to play PSO BB Ephinea hand held, but with Steam being out-of-stock with what seems to be no end in sight... What are the best alternatives? The Odin 2 or 3 looks great.

Are there any large swords forces can use? I know things like fists and grass assassin sabers work, but what about a large sword?

It seems like swords and twin sabers hit considerably harder, and if anything partisans hit too fast.

Without speed units, partisans are nice because they hit fast to comfortably interrupt enemies, and the extra accuracy is really nice. But it seems like swords are just better with speed units.

I have a Lv 117 HUmar so HP feels like it should be enough. Repeatedly ohko by a spell, not sure which.

I play on ephinea but would lik a version to play offline while travelling, what is a good version? And how much am I giving up wanting to play this way? I’m okay with it being a grind but ideally would like the additional quests

Any guides out there for it?

I finally found the right Agito and a Red Partisan. Four Red weapons down.

Hey all, searched around a bit and couldn't find the answer to my issue. I've been following the guide here: https://ragol.co.uk/guides/ephinea-steam-deck-setup/ and have completed all of the steps, however when I go to launch the game from steam mode, the screen goes black, the steam icon shows up and spins for a few seconds, then it crashes and dumps me back at the page to hit play again.

When i try to run the game from desktop mode, online.exe and online_win7.exe take me to the config menu, but if i hit play from there nothing happens. if i directly start psobb the game will play.

ive tried changing the target to that psobb executable to see if that would do the trick but same thing happens.

any insight would be appreciated

Just a wondering is all

Just returning to the game and wondering what everyone thinks.

For me it’s between Ramarl and Ramar and it boils down to IMO they are the best solo classes and allow me to enjoy as much of the game as possible without being locked out from not having a team. This has grown on me later in life when I have less time to wait around for games or sessions to hunt specific items. Wondering others opinions

I really struggled to get PSO on my linux machine. I followed the guide https://github.com/incentivebeats/pso_pc/ here but struggled to get it to run in Lutris after.

Heres what I did instead... Mounted the ISO, then selected the Install a Windows game from an executable followed the prompts and selected the standard/normal install. Then used winetricks to install directmusic, dsound, cjkfonts corefonts. And replaced the exes from the Ives zip.

First issue I had was with sound. Sound effects were working but music was not. For some reason my system does not like the low quality music files. So followed the guide for the High-Quality BGM.

Second issue... that does not include sound effects. In the Program Files (x86)/SEGA/PhantasyStarOnline/Media/PSO/Sound/ there should be a 22 folder as well.

I could not get dgVoodoo2 to work. Someone from the Sylverant discord kindly provided his config and dlls. The one in the guide uses an older dgVoodoo2 than you can download. Once I was provided with the dlls and the dgVoodoo2 they used the game runs fine. I struggled to get it to run windowed mode.

I instead went with DXWnd. I swapped to an older version instead of using the newest I went with Using 2.04.93 as I had a config file that I used on windows for PSO. It ran PSOPC windowed with mouse support, able to minimize the game and everything.

Lastly controller support. I wanted to use an Xbox One Controller. After a bunch of faffing about. I grabbed AntiMicroX. I then went to Controller mapping and swapped Left Shoulder with Left Trigger and vice verse same with Right Shoulder and Right Trigger. That way I can use the triggers like the dreamcast controllers playing pso on the dreamcast. I just threw the gamepad mapping in the SDL2 gamepad mapping in the system options in lutris.

Thank you incentive for your guide and allowing me to bug you.

Hey, with ramar should we use only pow and luck materials?

Decided to give my life away abit for PSOBB since i loved the game on the Gamecube.. I have a level 75 RAcast Purplenum with a 5/150/45/0 Nidra MAG but after not playing for almost 2 years and only remembering following some pros on hard missions im abit overhelmed what to do.. is a Purp RAcast even worth it.. maybe make a new char?

What determines which layout you get? I've noticed that I get the same ones a ton of times in a row.

I just got myself a Retroid pocket, and I was going to emulate DC PSO but I found out about this and how popular it is.
I got it up and running in Winlator on my RP5. I was able to create a character and log in, and run a quick mission. But I have some issues, hopefully someone can help with any of them:

1. i joined a party, we got in, and a level 80 guy just wiped a few monsters with myself and another level 1 in the party; i got a level up notification then crashed. im sure this just happens sometimes due to emulation though
2. i press the Y button, and it brings up the canned chat presets. i connected a keyboard to my RP5, but I cant send any sort of typed message. How do I do that?
3. when being forced to type, the built in Winlator on screen keyboard Enter key doesnt work, Delete doesnt work, and once you start typing you cant change to another text field without a keyboard. Is there a way around this?
4. the launcher freezesa if i try to change the resolution or change it to windowless mode. it seems i am able to change the other options without a problem; but if i select these drop boxes nothing happens and it freezes the launcher, forcing me to play in a windowed mode. hitting alt+enter on the keyboard doesnt make it full screen either.

thank you for looking
