Updated my basic-ass website with all of the PSO2 stuff I've scanned so far! Currently, there is:

  • Partially completed EP3, EP4, and EP5 Material Collections, and complete scans of EP1&2 and EP6 books
  • P-SPEC volumes 4, 5, 6
  • Episode 0 and PSO2es gag manga
  • Character song CD and OST booklet scans (and...some other stuff ;)
  • Episode Oracle anime CDs
  • Oracle Memories - an artbook for the discontinued PSO2 card game

It's a ton of stuff, and if you check it out, I hope you find something that interests you :)

It only took me five days to get around to posting the rest of last weekend's screenshots with @shivarin and @nept_casradaura lol

1 - 2. I wanted some height comparison shots between Varuna, Casra and Luther b/c i think it's really funny that Varuna is noticeably shorter than the other two, but his EP6 outfit adds enough height to make him taller than both lol

  1. A fun design note: Casra's EP4 outfit deliberately mixes design elements of his EP1-3 outfit and Luther's EP2 outfit, Void Recorder. Seeing them side by side, it's kind of shocking how similar they look :o As another aside, there's no in-universe explanation for this decision, so you're free to theory craft on why Casra would deliberately choose to look like someone he clearly despised and feared. ​:blobfoxthinking:​

4-6. Uhh, this is Luther and Casra having a serious discussion about cloning processes while Varuna..........listens attentively. Yes.

  1. A thing i am working on is an alternate take on Episode Photoner where more characters from Oracle become involved in the Omega saga--namely Casra because I like him very much but also, kinda wild that he went from being a driving force in discovering Earth and EP4's plot to "Sir Not Appearing In This Story" for EP5??? I know there's some lore reasons for it, but I am choosing to disregard it. ​:blobcatwinktongue:​

Been working on an N-Shiva face to match N-Varuna...plus having customized expressions is so nice for narrative screenshots.

We'll probably get N-Shiva eyes for the 12th anniversary but until then Shining Light Eyes will have to do.

Been seeing a lot of "man i miss pso2" "i wish ngs didn't happen" "we need scion/successor classes in ngs!" sentiments following the Hero showcase redux video. I find this really interesting, considering that the thesis of the video was simply to give Hero a more proper showcase than the one I made three years ago.

Gave it a bit of thought and ended up with several musings:

1. Scion classes have strong mechanical identities.
Although -- much like NGS classes currently -- their individual moment-to-moment flow significantly revolves around counters and step-counters, they don't feel bland thanks to distinct visual and sound effects, strong secondary mechanics (e.g. Hero weapon-switching, Phantom markers, Luster's sheer variety of combat options), and noticeably varying central palette UI. The only NGS class so far that really does that self-distinction is Slayer, also Waker to a lesser extent with its gauges.
Although there are other classes with distinct secondary mechanics (e.g. Bouncer's Jolt and Pinion, Ranger WA explosives and reinforced normals, elemental markers), they're often relegated to subpalette actions or generalized indicators.
Doesn't help that different weapons share the same step/parry/guard effects.

2. People seem to prefer faster pace over smoother flow, even if it means dealing with a dated system.
Jumping back into PSO2 after taking a break from NGS emphasized the two games' different feel quite a bit. You can feel PSO2's datedness of systems layered on systems in things like the way step dodging starts and stops almost instantly, the delay in weapon switching until you jump or finish any animations, the brief animation lock when activating burst skills. NGS has been a much smoother-feeling combat system overall where one action flows into the next, but it's markedly slower and implements new limitations like animation lock in PAs and less vertical traversal options in combat.
Seems like those limitations take away from the game enough to have people pine for basegame over NGS.

3. People's perception of basegame may be warped to romanticize the game to a degree.
NGS's issues are not necessarily new to the game, they've happened before to PSO2.
Slow dripfeed of content occurred in some form during Episode 5 and Episode 6, where Ep5 had nothing but Buster Quest and Ep6 had Ultra Explorations for a time.
Redundant gamemodes/grinds that were introduced and then abandoned too. Ep4 Riding Quests, Ep5 Buster Quest tiering, and, again, Ep6 Ultra Explorations.
Gear redundancies happened every time a new rarity was introduced, maybe sometimes even within a rarity (new 15-stars in EP6). It was particularly bad when New-Type grinding was introduced.
It could be that the people pining for basegame don't factor those issues when they talk about "the time before NGS," or have those issues sidelined by other considerations.

That's all I got for now. Discussions are welcomed too!
I promise this'll be the last edit.
