Phantasy Star Online 2 - Episode 5 Announcement Trailer

[@THEKINGBETWEEN]

Because these trailers never show the people winning and it always fades out to title I'm lead to believe that squad died and that's why it's always up to us to do something about it

[@fall7565]

Thats kinda dark...I like it

[@chinaforcedorganharvest-me7062]

Or it just show the possibility. Yes, there are some squad that got wipe out, but some got success. Not to mention Time loop like Profousing Darkness and Deus, appear again and again.

[@HalfBoiIed]

You notice them in the following trailers.

[@dethernaxx]

but then you realize that these same character have been in every trailer, the trailers are literally their story, and not ours

[@mattwo7]

Except Ash (not the Episode Oracle anime Ash mind) and his crew are still alive (and somehow still alive 1000 years later in NGS) so...

[@derekthedragonlayer]

Good God, That intro song is so nostalgic to me. I got into this game around Ep5's release thanks to a friend of mine. Hearing that play again takes me WAAAY back to when I almost dropped it and then the Dragon UQ dropped. I stayed until PSO2 NA Dropped.

[@QruisS]

>EP5 gets announced? Wait- so quickly? >Remembers the roadmap mentioning being (mostly) up to date with JP by the end of the year Oh yeah, makes sense now that I think about it. >Cue PTSD from teammates not helping defend the bases in Buster Quests Oh no...

[@minaya4078]

Their roadmap does say Q3 for 4 and 5 and quarter 3 ends afte this month then it says episode 6 part 1 Q4 so I’m guessing end of November December .. good times!

To everyone, TO THIS DAY, Hero is the most played class in JP, so get ready to always see them.

[@TheuberClips]

The stats are like this is primarily because of level 50 alts. So no, not quite. Not in my experience of playing. There's a bunch of people I know that were wondering the same thing and then realized it's probably counting the 10 hero alts they all have for weeklies lol

[@mewni2956]

[@milkboi2765]

Sadly I don't think pso2 is gonna get a fire emblem collab even with NGS, though anything can happen. Personally for me at least I would go for fire emblem three houses characters. Just both Male and Female Blyeth outfits and hair styles, the three main lords pre-time skip outfits and maybe post time skip outfits and hair styles, and Sothis outfit and hair style. Don't really have anything for emotes though.

[@HMNNO]

Switch streams and since it streams, only really works well in JP because of low latency. PS4 we don't know but probably after NGS is release or maybe after ep6 since MS have some exclusivity to PSO2

[@mattwo7]

@@HMNNO Yea the Japanese government subsidized the fiber optic infrastructure while here in the US at least, the cable oligarchy is insisting 5G WiFi is superior when it isn't to jack up the prices and so they can just not bother with properly rolling out fiber optic (which probably costs them more money than they want to spend).

@@armonnadams They don't own shit, PSO2 is still a Sega game, the Microsoft guy from E3 last year mentioned they where just helping localize the game and other things and mentioned in interviews that the game will release in other platforms/consoles over time so is very probable Microsoft just have a 1 year exclusive deal with Sega and after it is done Sega will just release the PS4/PS5 version which makes sense with PSO2NGS coming out next year, the only version of PSO2 that CAN'T happen in a Global scale is the Switch version since it was played through Cloud servers and it was possible in Japan with the optic fiber internet they have setup there but here there isn't such structure to support it.
