Weird Night has always been my jam for lobbies, I don't know what youj're talking about.
I played PSO1 the most around the Halloween season, so I heard this song all the time. It's a nice nostalgic trip for me. Hell, in JP, in the earlier years, they used the PSU Halloween music. I'm glad they made the change.
As a veteran JP player, Luther's form has been my favorite. Between a powerful beam, rapid, hard-hitting projectiles, and a series of homing projectiles, ti fits my playstyle.
Also, it's totally not because Luther is my favorite of the four Falzes, to begin with.
The FF14 collab. I want to be able to beat up Odin like I did on my Lalafell, like I did on my JP PSO2 account.
Though I wouldn't mind them goign the extra mile and give up a bit of Alexander stuff. I'd kill for a Locus disc ingame.
People complaining about the lack of cast parts, when the scratches have been about character replicas, lately. And there is nobody in Episode 4 that's a Cast, save Kohri's character, at the very, very beginning. And I'm sure she uses parts that are already in the game. In unique scratches that have outfits that don't resemble NPCs, I'm sure you'll get your cast parts in those.
Me entering this thread: "Yeah, I mean, Ep4 is a shit story where some dumb broad with a personality as flat as her chest forces herself into the protagoni-- DEAR GOD WHAT"
To be honest, I've been clawing at the idea of the player character becoming the vessel for Dark Falz since PSO1. They were always just thrown aside as a side character in favor of some mindless loser whose personality was all over the place, awkwardly, or had no personality, at all. coughepisode4coughshitsugicough. Instead of an alternate timeline, Persona's presence should be considered an inevitability for the player character, that they would become Dark Falz.
Allow me to give more detail on them, based on Coldreactive's comments.
Hearing electric crackling, followed by a heartbeat, usually denotes a Vizbolt E-trial that can be triggered somewhere on the map. Sometimes, it's a Judgement E-trial (Disabling bombs). The normal buzzing followed by a heartbeat denotes a Baize E-trial that could happen in the map, somewhere. Lillipan Screams are usually the Rescue/Gesture E-trials, or in the abandoned mine, the E-trial where you have to protect villages. The whooshing effet that is accompanied by an effect along the bobrder of your scream indicates a boss that doesn't have a distinct cry. HEARING a cry denotes a boss, too, but at least you know what boss it is. Additionally, on the floating continent and in the city, if you hear the Quartz Dragon's cry, you usuallyt get a chance to use your Action button to view it flying around in a circle, off in the distance. A crystal-sounding effect along with prismatic ripples indicates a crystal Defense E-trial. THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. They are difficult, as the crystals don't have much health, and tend to spawn about 5-6 of them throughout the E-trial. If two break, you fail. But if you complete it, PSE Triggers go through the roof, and if you're in a large party, a 4-way Cross Burst with at LEAST Two WAN MORs is guaranteed.
There's also a variation of the first one, along with the sound effect that sounds similar to a Gilnach using its heal ability right at the end. This indicates a Clone E-trial, nearby. They're very rare, and only happen in Single-party areas.
It would also be HIGHLY advisable to use something other than a Gunblade, too. They are objectively poor in damage output, compared to other weapons.
9 year JP vet here.
I'm playing NA because I've had numerous friends holding off for the NA version, and wouldn't join me on JP. That, and I wanna see and hear how everything was localized. Kind of like watching a dubbed anime after watching the sub.
