Will we ever see Phantasy Star V?

[Semix]

Are you meant to not be able to use on of those rings at the end. I have equipped them on all the player but raja wan't take the last one. Is it meant to be like this? Did i miss something? Am i stupid?

No, the last ring cannot be equipped by anyone. Some theorize it was meant for Alys whom the designers decided to have die before the end of the game and never got around to reassigning the ring.

And if she was at full power then the eldyson shold do more that 300hp damage per hit (i think)

... I read this and I can't help but think you mean "do LESS damage"

I could be wrong tho.

I explained it badly, i mean if something was that powerful, then you would need more that a eldyson with 300 damage per hit to kill it. If it is so good, it would be able to take care of other opponents really easy. Just thinking, that if it is PURE EVIL then the sword of spirits or heroes should be more lethal than that. They say it is good, but can't you beat the boss with something else like Guard-sword or Laco-sword.

All of this is just quite random ideas, so if you object, you are probably right

I hope SEGA can pull off Phantasy Star 5, however, we can only hope but the future seems very dim for right now for a sequel.

In either case, if the sword came from the divine light, does it not stand to reason that it only contains a mere fraction of TDLs' power and therefore could never damage tPD as severely as tDL, itself, could?

And if it did NOT come from tDL... where did it come from?

Le Roof mentions that The Great Light has gone somewhere. It could be that he/she has turned into Elsydeon... (far fetch'd I know, but) Then Elsydeon really could have the power to defeat The Profound Darkness by just being used as a weapon of a trained sword man (Chaz).

Now back to Le Roof... When Le Roof said that TGL has gone somewhere, could he/she mean that TGL is dead? Can TGL be dead..? Maybe "Does not exist anymore" or "Has left the existence where we are living" could fit better.

[ThugsRook]

why does LeRoof and the others do nothing?

they are obviously very powerful, why do they just sit on their butts doing nothing while all this is going on?

the sword did not come from the Divine Light, its just a sword.

and i still cant figure out how Palma was destroyed by a single orbiting satalite.

[Zucca]

Not just a sword. It obviously has some special powers, like insta kills "evil" enemies. But has TGL created it, or is TGL the sword (highly unlikely)... Dunno.

and i still cant figure out how Palma was destroyed by a single orbiting satalite.

Maybe Dark Force filled Gaila with... hmmm... dark explosives? ;P Besides we don't actually know how big Gaila was...

IMO...
the sword was Alisa's Laconian Sword turned to Rolf's Nei Sword, eventually given to Chaz.

Gaila wasnt that big, we walked thru it, it was just a prison.

[ThugsRook]

im sorry, im off topic and i havent even posted on topic yet



PSV : no DF, no PD, 3D dungeons!, a completely non-linear true adventure game would be nice, perhaps the game could be about piecing together Algos history

[Zucca]

Most likely. But hm. If I remember correctly you can choose not to get Laconian Sword in PSI...

Gaila wasnt that big, we walked thru it, it was just a prison.

There could be more floors. Only just one was accessible in PSII. But as you said, it was a prison satellite. So it's unlikely that it was even close to the size of a world ship.

[BenoitRen]

I doubt the Laconian Sword from PSI is the same as Elsydeon. I mean, there's no suggestion that it's anything more than a normal Laconian Sword.

The Neisword probably is a strong sword empowered by the word of power, just like in PSIII. Lutz just gives it to you in a box, and Rolf doesn't see Alis, unlike Chaz. Also, the Compendium says Lutz and his followers created the Nei-series of weapons and Elsydeon, implying that they're different.

That clears things pretty much .

But then... How did Dark Force destroyed Palma by only one satellite?

[Abominae]

It seems as tho unless we get Sega to clear all this up, we will never truly know. I do know that it is odd to think that the Lac. Swd./Niesword/Elsydeon are different weapons considering Chaz was able to commune with Alis, Rolf, (etc.?) just by coming into contact with the weapon.

Not to mention that Elsydeon "Blew up and saved the party" at the end of PS4. I don't have an explanation for any of this... but it would be nice to find out what the hell happend.

I know we're all reading too much into it... but things like that are kinda why the PS series is unique.

[Semix]

I would only want to see a PSV if it was an honest attempt at making a classic style, true RPG like we all used to play back in the good ol' days. If it's more like an mmorpg or a hacker/slasher game with some RPG elements (which is really what 99% of RPG's made today are IMO)... then no thanks.

Sadly, there isn't really a market for a classic RPG in todays gaming landscape. Nobody wants to spend hours finding their way through complicated mazes or leveling up, they want that instant gratification of shooting somebody else in the head. It's the A.D.D. era of gaming.

It wouldn't be difficult at all to devise a storyline for a PSV though. It just takes some creativity and an active imagination. Did they really "kill" PD? Afterall... even the Great Light himself couldn't do that. He could merely contain him with that seal. And is he really at the top of the totem pole? There might be a "Prounder Darkness" (I jest, of course). Perhaps there are more Earthmen stashed away somewhere, lurking in the shadows? There's an infinite amount of ideas. The imagination is the only limit to them.

Unfortunately, I don't think many game developers nowadays have much of one. That's why we're subjected to this endless onslaught of first person shooters with regurgitated scripts.

You summed it up nicely, but i must say sniping a Nazi's head off is quite amusing. So the CoD4 engine was reused twice, its a damn good game.

[Abominae]

I'm concept planning/storyboarding for my own PS:V at the moment. I think I've got enough to get the game going... it's just making sure the story is written then I move on to roster w/ character profiles and scripting.

It's a long and arduous project. But since a PS game is the reason I'm going to enroll in college to become a game designer... I figured I'd give it everything I have.

[BenoitRen]

I do know that it is odd to think that the Lac. Swd./Niesword/Elsydeon are different weapons considering Chaz was able to commune with Alis, Rolf, (etc.?) just by coming into contact with the weapon.

Why is that odd? The Elsydeon is explained to be the sword sheltered by the spirits of heroes. Why should they have used the sword to shelter it?

[Abominae]

If that's all there is to it, then that still leaves a big question mark on why you need the heroes to shelter a sword when the laconian sword and Neisword seemed to work just fine.


On a side note... I see where this is going and instead of elaborating, I choose to await your response. Elaborating there will be more effective.
