Greetings, fellow citizens of Eienteiland!
Some of us have joined this game and are currently playing together so we decided to create a thread to see if anyone else is interested in joining.
If we father enough people, we'll create a guild dedicated to the forum people (and any Touhou fan we can persuade to join us, ofc course).
Anyway, what is PSO2?
PSO2 is a sci-fi mmorpg where you get to do missions in different planets, from vulcanos to japanese inspired lands, generally in a team of four. It's in this regard that PSO2 goes against the norm, you don't play in a completely open world with thousands of players, you are generally separated into teams. It's a bit like Monster Hunter - accept mission, hack and slash/shoot and blow up with monsters and then hand the quest to the client.
What are the races I can choose?
Humans (self-explanatory)
Newmans (elves)
CAST (androids)
Dewmans (genetically enhanced humans with horns and sharingan-like eyes, they look like youkai)
Yeah, so about the classes:
You can change classes whenever you feel like as you'll be leveling classes and not characters. After level 30 you will be able to use a main and a sub class.
There are a bunch of classes, each of them has their perks and disadvantages but I won't go into specifics.
Hunter:"A class whose true worth lies in melee. Boasting high HP and defense, they excel at solo combat."
Weapons: (Broad)Swords, Wired Spears, Partizans (Long Spears), Gunslashes (swords that double as guns).
Fighter: "A close-ranged melee class specializing in lightweight weapons. Users of this class are known for high fighting prowess."
Weapons: Twin Daggers, Double Spears, Knuckles, Gunslashes.
Ranger:" A class that focuses on mid-ranged combat, attacking with guns. They are capable of precise ranged attacks."
Weapons: Assault Rifles, Launchers, Gunslashes.
Gunner: "Combines high rate of fire and high maneuverability using ranged weapons for close-range combat."
Weapons: Assault Riffles, Twin Machineguns, Gunslashes.
Force: "A class geared toward long-range combat using photonic Technics as powerful as they are diverse." aka the elemental mage.
Weapons: Rods (Long staffs), Talis (Talismans), Gunslashes.
Techer: "Proficient at healing and buffing, a support-oriented class versed in Technics." aka the white mage.
Weapons: Talis, Wands, Gunslashes.
Braver: "A class balanced between short and long-ranged combat. Become stronger by advancing skills, timing, and precision."
Weapons: Katanas, Bullet Bows, Gunslashes.
Bouncer: A class that specializes on melee and buffs. It's a bit between a staff-less magician and a monk.
Weapons:Dual blades, Jet Boots and Gunslashes.
Why should I play it?
1. Because it's fun and you'd be in awesome company.
2. It has a nice campaign mode with cool NPCs and they're always updating it.
3. You'd be contributing to creating an army of 2hus in the game.
4. There are a ton of Touhou fans there. (The "official" PSO2 wiki is called Cirnopedia so...)
You talked about creating 2hus, how is the character creation?
The character creation is pretty decent and while you won't be able to get all the clothes you want when you start the game, later on you'll be able to buy them with in game money. They is a huge section of costumes and accessories you can choose from, they even have Fate Stay/Night and Attack on Titan stuff there. (Don't expect them to be cheap though).
Fine, you've convinced me. Where can I download it?
This website will be your best friend when it comes to PSO2. You can follow the instructions there, they are very simple.
Also, when you choose a server go for either Ship 2 -Ur which is where most of us are or Ship 4, where Fera has his main cuz he's a hipster xD The other servers are Japanese.
That being said, if anyone is interested and had questions/needs help, I'll be glad to land a hand.
Thanks for reading and remember, join our army!
