Some HP/MP restore points in the dungeonsĬan replay all missions after beating all of them Scape doll (saves you from death once - Ys 2?) Pretty good bosses (huge models, multiple patterns)īasic puzzles (colored switches, dark rooms with light switches you need to find and flick) Some interesting enemies (teleporting hoverbots, migium - enemies linked to form a cannon that which up when hit with spells, some enemies can kill and gain exp from other enemies)

No backtracking after beating a guild mission (a teleporter appears, can also buy telepipes to teleport back to HQ at will) Pretty good effects overall (spells, lighting) Text speed options and you can speed up dialogue on a text box basis, Chat shortcut toolsĭecent art direction overall (similar to Metroid Prime, sometimes cluttered design)ĭifficulty options (normal-very hard or ultimate in Ver.2)Īutomatically lock onto enemies (can't lock the camera onto them like in OoT though)ĭancing with two gender role types in the lobby (PC only?)

Originality-7 V2 is the exact same game as V1 but just with more levels, items, and other fun stuff! Last recommendation is to get a Dreamcast keyboard to play this game as it makes chatting with people and planning the game much easier.Graphics-7.5 Sound-9 Control-7.5 Challenge-7 Story-6.5 After a few days of playing V1 I quickly realized most people play V2 and burned myself a copy of the PSO Ives Pack.

I chose to be a Hunter, but there are other races as well with different specialties and weapon types.

On my first night playing I met a bunch of cool people who were all super helpful and friendly. First, I tried offline mode just to get a hang of the controls and understand the gameplay mechanics, which I strongly recommend – although it’s much more difficult offline because there’s no one to help you or heal you. Well 2020 is here and I finally picked up a dreamcast, dreampi and a copy of version version 1 and was in! No extra patcher needed, no DMZ, nothing. I love PSO! Since I was a kid I wanted a dreamcast and remember wanting to play this game very fondly.
