Phantasy Star Universe - Ambitions of the Illuminus opening

The opening theme song of Ambitions of the Illuminus. You can either just wait in the main menu for the song, or just do what I did. Go to the 5th floor of the Guardian's Colony and choose the first mission of the first episode and blahblah. The name of it is "The Masked Girl" or something about a Mask and a Girl.
In my opinion, Ethan Waber looks cool in here...
Hope you enjoy!
** Ugh, I'm sorry. ;_; The quality isn't exactly that great. I forgot to tweak the options a bit! I always have to do that before recording something, and I totally forgot. Sorry!

I miss this game so much. So many good memories. I remember the most fun I had would be waking up, finding out we had a snow day, and logging onto PSU and doing Pavillion Air: Top Mission runs with my friend. That, the Online Story Missions, the casinos, and running/managing my store front were so much fun that no other game had really came close to imitating. I....I need a moment.

[@20secondsofcourage1]

x CEGold I feel you dude... damn good tkmes

[@BBWulf]

Aye. My favorite online game. So many great memories. I met so many of my friends playing that game. Loved running around Gaurdians Colony just messing about(not much else to do when characters are maxed out).

[@UrvineSpiegel]

Over the phone. Friend: "Are you online yet? Whats taking you so long?" Me: "Still in opening cinematic" Friend": You know you can skip that right?" Me: "No, I can't. Because I choose to fight!" Friend "...."

[@tracexl]

Skipping the intro cinematic is illegal!

[@KinVao]

i love how your character was a side character who never said anything in this expansion

[@deathbykonami5487]

Ethan Waber went from rookie guardian to hero of Gurhal to a Renegade Pirate all in one game.

[@Cage532]

I love Phantasy Star Universe and this rock version of Save This World was my favorite of all the openings. I like that the used the in world world alphabet to spell out the character's name and then they have "and you" which was just so cool. Also 'dark side' Ethan Waber still looks so badass.

[@shiber5]

I wish they would remaster this game on the new gen systems I remember playing this all day and night over the summer and after school it was slot of fun

[@tigeruppercut6421]

Totally agree.

[@Aykun_]

Hop on over to PSO2 or PSO2 NGS guys.

[@mrsora16]

man ethan looked so cool and kind of evil in this opening

[@curtisfriley8853]

I loved this and the other one with Ethan as the player. I wish they would make another phantasy Star like this that wasn’t completely online. I wouldn’t care if the main character was silent

[@TheThostus]

I miss this game so fucking much man...

[@TZeus1108]

it will never die if one person still plays it ;P and im that person

[@retrowolf3456]

I really miss this game the only pay to play game I have ever stuck with, the weapons, the atmosphere the classes,music and combat and boss fights I would gladly fund any attempt to bring it back out of my own pocket, I loved this Game So Much

[@seanmc7128]

This was a fun game

[@Dudinator123]

Man, Hyuga was badass in that opening! He just cut down 4 casts, like they were trees. Too bad he isn't that awesome in-game.

[@HOWZERGOD]

Spoiler alert: he turns super cool in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity

[@blazingsonic]

Sega Please give us a remaster of this and classic PSO!

[@medievalgamers8257]

One of the Best opening and song of a Game, that I saw in the all history of Videogame.

[@jackwong5816]

Agreed. This song and vid got me so amped to play. A complete remake of this on PS5 would make me buy a PS5

[@_spideyfiq]

I FINALLY FOUND IT

[@xenodee027]

Long live PSU! We miss you!

[@TheEXGamemaster]

THE MEMORIES!

[@Lizardman]

It certainly is a classic, a epic game all around!

[@timelyraccoon8878]

[@TetToss]

song name save this world remix :)

[@KingLee79]

@AngryManDidon i bought the add-on through x-box live but unfortunately there is no single player campaign! :( there is only multiplayer (do not want to buy a guardians licence just to play the game)

[@ManaketeAli]

You could always check online to see if they have it in stock.

[@kilikman]

0:16 Ethan looks like Neku Sakuraba from TWEWY, Now we know where Neku got his style xD

[@Mr_Antihero]

So many good memories made on that game. Wish Sega would release the new version to the west.

[@VesonoYT]

guess what lol

[@Thymus]

@@VesonoYT Sadly neither pso2 version compares. At least not for story.

[@ikagura]

Ethan the Edgelord

[@deathbykonami5487]

He saved the entire system from various threats and the Guardians labeled him as a renegade because he chose to work with the only group of space pirates that helped people Of course after that he chose to forsake the guardians and stick with the people that had his back

[@topdog2007]

@@deathbykonami5487 yeah i dont blame him they kinda douche in my opion

[@Coolmans24]

where do you get this song for "your room" ?

[@barllams]

to me this is... a... absolutely the best game in PS2 , hope they create any game like this in PC/XBOX/PS (The Next Gen-Console).. miss this game so much...

[@detarso73]

the name of the song is save this world

[@ogichi32]

I was so pissed at this game because by the time I discovered it and really got into it the servers had shut down and I couldn’t finish the damn story.

[@wowowotang]

where can i buy it i really want ti but iw ent to walmart but they dont ahve and i went to best buy is hould check game stop well if anyone ahve any sugestion plz tel me iw really want this game

[@kickymcface]

been playing this series sooo long... *runs off to dig up Sega*

[@IXXKHChrisXXI]

@DjBony16 thats for online only. This is the opening you see when going online

[@pyroromancer]

Dallgun looks like Steven Segal

[@vincentshadetree]

Remember how the opening made you think Ethan was going to be the villain this story then was like nope just kidding

[@HOWZERGOD]

Honestly it was the biggest mind-fuck to me because I had never played Phantasy Star Universe and I didnt know who he was

[@justnoob8141]

I only remember him kicking my ass while I try to survive by running around so I won't get hit in uhhh... first dungeon?

[@Nedoxu]

you can do the first half of the multiplayer campaign with the expansion on single player. (The part that was available to those who played online without the expansion)... at least that's how it was for PS2.

[@markr1012]

I fucking miss this game

[@brettbat]

Hey I was wondering..is "Ambitions of the Illuminus" part of the multiplayer guardians license thing or is it just an add on too the game?

[@MLGxBXRxPRO]

God i miss this game. I miss my 10/10 spread needle and my 10/10 repcas. Rip everyone favorite weapon they managed to get

[@DangerSmoog]

My friend and I finally found a spread needle AND grinded it to 9/9 ......3 weeks before the servers went down lol

[@TheInsaneCalateral]

@PinayKagomeW What Did He Do Bad In The Beginning?

[@baked2522]

@XSynthGuyX you mean grandfather? Ethan's timeline is futuristic and Ichigo's is modern:D

[@brettbat]

hey i have a question..is the expansion part of the multiplayer thing or not?

[@denster1991]

anyone know name of song

[@dbzandrs2]

so you can be Ichigo in phantasy star?

[@PinayKagomeW]

Ethan Waber is actually a good person. This'll be a spoiler, but oh well. (I actually spoiled it for myself at first, heh.) In the expansion pack, or whatever, (You buy off of Xbox Live Marketplace) you find out in the beginning of a story mission that Ethan did something bad, and everyone is treating him like an outcast. Someone who's name shouldn't be uttered. So it sort of gives you a hint that he sort of becomes an enemy in the end of the game.

[@STRATOVARIUSPB]

memories.... I still remember when I had monopoly on Paural....

[@sTaRzzoG]

Haha you made my life difficult

[@DragonballMegafan]

That sucks cause Ethan was pretty badass

[@CaptainRockbear]

i have a question about this game,is it JUST online or can you play offline for free?

[@robm6726]

2017 says hello

Say goodbye to 2017 and say hello to 2018!

[@tigeruppercut6421]

2019 saya hello

[@anibala.moralessanchez8018]

Bought this game a few days ago and just finished now. I have to be honest, I liked it even more than Mass Effect. Honestly, I think Mass Effect stole a lot from this for they're plot. Well, the ending was actually great so it beat Mass Effect in that department hehehehe.

[@lordnamizeka]

nah ethan dosnt become evil,the illuminus convince ethan to murder the president of the GUARDIANS but he couldnt,although after that news speread to the colony and said to get ethan,lou helped him escape though and tonnio too.then he joined up with alfort tyler and the rouges gave him a new outfir.anyways thats all ican say.

[@n543576]

@PinayKagomeW huh i dont get it

[@XSynthGuyX]

Ethan Waber = Ichigo Kurosaki's great x10 grandson. 1:18

[@aresef]

I peaced out of PSU before the expansion. Did I miss anything?

[@DragonRage5100]

This is like a sequel to the first game. Also known as Episode 2. It continues the story in a good way. Your main character is your OC and Ethan becomes the villain for the first half of the game. Episode 3 continues the story but it was online-only. Good times, man.

[@kilikman]

It's long dead now. And there's no hope of it coming back. Private servers are just a myth at this point, I used to be a part of EGS' PSU Private Server, but that was only in a VERY early Alpha and I was a bug-tester. It's been gave up on now. We've still got PSO2 though when it comes out. But trust me, I know your pain.

[@Guilmonhero]

Everytime I keep hearing this song, I keep thinking Sonic and Jet should show up, just because this song is sung by the same team.

[@20secondsofcourage1]

Ethan's dark side turned out to be not so dark side. He was sorta temporarily an anti hero, and that was short lived.

[@dbzandrs2]

Hollow Ethan

[@zeldafreakroid]

what is that sword called Ethan haves

[@andershly]

could you PM me basically what happens at the end because i fail at the story mode

[@shadowjustin6907]

What happened why did etan turn evil

[@chaosdirge4906]

He didn't, he's a double agent the only person that truely thinks he went bad is the instructor he's fighting. Its explained in the game but *spoilers* Ethan's dad is alive, Illuminus is holding him hostage, ethan agrees to work for illuminus for his dad's safety but in actuality sends the guardians information in secret to stop Illuminus plans. Though he sends it anon and the only person that is in on it is pretty much Karen. I know its been a month since you asked but I thought that I would respond. As for what happens in episode 3 I have no clue, you would have to watch KZbin videos since episode 3 was only available online, but I can tell you based on PSP2 that Ethan is credited as the guardian that destroyed the seed.

[@KaitoRouge777]

sooo does anyone know the name of the song or the artist?

[@RockLeeOfTheMounties]

This game was so good. I speak for everyone with a brain when I say "Fuck PSO2."

[@TheAzureGuardian]

This might just be me, but in that very last image, Ethan's face looks like Sasori from freaking Naruto.

[@lambosan20]

💀bring it back 😥

[@DangerSmoog]

Someone did! Look up PSU Clementine. It's not perfected but it's pretty damn close to the full on thing and has a few hundred people on daily! It's been awesome!

[@reneefayee4527]

I know this is 2 years ago but im bored so im replying. I always use to die on that part too but they`re is actually a certain way you`re suppose to fight them.

[@CmoreBuhts]

@FRENCHKING5674 research what the sign means

@PengusurfPretztail yeah that irritated me i had a 130 but aoti story mode for the ps2 have 70% of anthing xbox users have now as well as certin items ps2 gets in the shop that xbox players have to do events for plus as its offline nothing has been nerfed and force spells can be maximized and the lvl cap is 200

If you want to know what Ethan did, play the game and find out.

[@xGhostKidx9]

I WISH YOU WERE RIGHT D;

[@Alucard8131988]

not really its sorta in depth but hes kinda gone rogue to figure stuff out. you meat him in the story missions and end up teaming up really.

[@97kadda]

I like this game,but everytime ,at the first mision,wehn these 3 boys come,i die in the fight!!!This is so bad*huh*

[@superzice250]

*sigh* i love playing this too bad microsoft removed i hate them for that and now it is only on the pc and my computer is slow as crap

[@generalzod1742]

oh shit is Ethan gone evil like Darth vader ???and who's that guy with the evil smirk on his face that appears in just about when the video is about to end ????

[@mega-gaming-mix]

You mean in 1:31 i think that is Renvolt Magashi the enemy from the 1. game

[@generalzod1742]

+Mega - Gaming - Mix thanks man but what happened to Ethan is he gone evil or what ????? i just hate it when good people turn evil like that man

[@mega-gaming-mix]

I think in (not 100%correct) the 1. game he thought his dad is dead and he joined the GUARDIANS so he can be like his dad.Then in the 2. game the bad guys told Ethan that they have imprisoned his dad and all that stuff so they made a deal if Ethan joins them and works for them that they will free his dad.

[@generalzod1742]

+Mega - Gaming - Mix oh god please give me more information cause it seems that you played the game I'm only seeing trailers about it and i did not had any chance to play it

[@mega-gaming-mix]

I only played the 1.

[@andershly]

probably a common question but is ethan the enemy?

[@DragonRage5100]

He's the enemy for the first half of the game for a suspected terrorist attack.

[@kainhighwind2]

This sounds like the same band that did the intro to Oban Star Racers.

[@MegaGamingMix]

Is Ethan Waber evil now or

[@sidvicious117]

so ethan turn evil

[@kilikman]

You mean, Ichigo Bankai
