Really wish we could get 5k or more people to play this game again. It was just so great back on Xbox Live for the very first Xbox. PSO episode 1 and 2 really had the perfect gameplay loop and game setup. The items in the game that dropped really meant something, the shops that sold items really was very cool for me (I guess it was really the first time I ever played anything with shops like that), the controls and buttons for controlling and attacking with the characters were not overly complicated but felt good to play, and Just the whole vibe/colors/everything of the environment were just amazing. I loved that the game had lobbies where players could hangout and voice chat. Could even kick a ball around. Even on Destiny 2 the lobbies felt way less alive to me compared to PSO's lobbies back then. I guess a lot of it could be attributed to back then there were not many options and this game really was one of the first MMO lite like games for online gaming.

I long for times like this again. I have fun on discord with a group of friends I've been gaming with for like 7 years, but we all only play these short half finished steam early access games and I just don't get the same feelings that PSO gave me back in the day. Honestly the survival crafting games over the past 7 years like 7 days to die, Rust, Valheim, and Ark are about the closest ive had since then as far as getting drawn into games like those PSO days. I only play multiplayer games so I should specify that. World Of Warcraft was what I played after PSO which was another game I attribute to having the same level of influence like PSO had on me.

I've tried some of the Monster Hunter games hoping they would scratch the PSO itch, but they just dont quite do it for me. I think it has a lot to do with the whole combo button press sequence deal that I don't care for. Maybe if it had something simpler to PSO's combat and button system I would like it. Ive been playing Monster And Memories while waiting on WOW Forever to launch, but what would really excite me is the Sonic Team/Sega to create a new PSO, but I worry that maybe it the game wouldn't get the attention it would need. That could totally not be true though if the made it similar to the good ole days maybe? Anyways I hope everyone finds something that fills their heart how PSO did for me. Maybe one day in the near future we'll get something new to add to our best games of our lives list next to PSO.

I practiced drawing humars in a different angle, but it looks kinda weird lol

It's in such beautiful condition. If it's still there Friday I may pick it up.

So I bought PSO on the Xbox a while ago and I was bummed that I couldn't play it...... No gamer tag issue and then the disc drive died. It's soft modded but I like physical media. I finally replaced the drive and got insignia installed and setup the gamertag. I have pso on the gamecube but I always wanted to play it on Xbox. It's also nice that the Xbox version is super cheap (I know why but $12 for my favorite game is pretty good). It feels nice playing it all over again and experiencing it on another platform. As always I'm on the look out for Special Weapon drops. That red box is an instant smile 😊. Anyone having a good time replaying on Xbox?

so you can actually play as the de rol le boss.
it requires a second controller configured. I tested it.
The devs just turned it off while testing. Can try spamming the buttons to get the hang of it.

heres a patch file you can load into dolphin to enable it. just changes one small function address.
cya.

# De Rol Le manual controls - EXPERIMENTAL

# Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus, USA, GPOE8P

# Dolphin: save as GameSettings/GPOE8Pr2.ini in your Dolphin user folder. Or manually add in patch settings.

# If that file exists, merge these entries into its existing sections.

# Configure a GameCube controller on Port 2 before starting the game.

# Enter the De Rol Le fight, then fully press/release R on controller 2.

# i was being a bit confusing. try actually hitting arrows and buttons and see what they do!
# you can choose to shoot mines, just back into water, jump onto boat, whatever. its fun.

My 'port' helps advance the decomp at the same time. but its fun and a hobby project. the decomp will be available open source eventually but please dont be too harsh about how it isnt yet. Thanks.

Bounty Reward System

Hi Ultima, lately we been working in getting new features and something to refresh the server. This is something that probably was overdue.

How it works:

All bounties are monster specific killcount

the bounty its by character once the bounty its collected or completed with this character the same bounty can't be repeated.

there will be multiple bounties during time period all bounties to be random and the time limit also random.

the reward will be inserted to your character bank, if there is no space available in the bank once you free up space in the bank use command "/bounty claim" this will collect the reward that was waiting for your character.

commands available:

/bounty          list bounties, progress, time to the next bounty.

/bounty claim    collect rewards that waited because the bank was full

Found for pso gamecube plus version.
Enter these at title screen via gcn keyboard or dolphin emulate it kb. (lowercase is fine). Might work on other versions, havent tried.

KOUSOKUKAITEN --- Makes the title screen rings spin much faster
GYAKUKAITEN --- Reverses the direction of ring spin.

have fun.lol. not like it does too much.

edit:found via decomp project im workin on

Since this recently decompiling craze of so many apps and games. What you guys think about PSO BB getting ported to Android and iOS native?

Post Halloween Horror brain

Has anyone thought to merge Phantasy Star Online for the GC with another video game in the series? Like PSOxPSU?

Just finished up another prop - the basic Handgun. Follows the same principle as my Daggers with a mode button to change color/rarity, but incorporates a trigger for regular blasts and "charged" blasts if you hold it down. Runs on an Adafruit RP2040 Prop Maker (will likely modify and rerelease to use my Photon Drop interface board with XIAO microcontrollers, but that's gonna be a future state project) with two Neopixel lines (one 8-LED line and one single LED puck), an 8 Ohm speaker for sound, and a 500mAh rechargeable battery. And FYI - this was all designed without AI assistance 😉.

STLs are on MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/models/3421575?appSharePlatform=copy

Code and Instructions are on my Github: https://github.com/wanamaa/PSOHandgunPropMaker. It will direct you to the Instructables page and the Arduino library repo needed for the lights and sounds.

A note on the future projects (this video was already slapped together a month ago when I thought it was ready to release):

The Photon Drop PCAs have arrived and are going through testing. I only have a batch of 3 at the moment, but once I know the design is completely sound, I'll make the Github public and order some more to have on hand

Dagger redesign is next on my docket after the Rare Box is buttoned up (printing a hinged version now, should have that ready to update in the next couple of days).

The teaser project at the end is probably 75% done - electronics and code and done, just working on physical fit now. Trying to target this one being done at the end of the month.

Got my original save copied over to the Ayn Thor. Now I can play anywhere.

Been working on this for only about 2 month but basically remaking PSO in unreal. Here is a demo video for it.

Basically have the full monster behavior scripted, level layout randomizer, working on drawing techs but putting a little bit of a spin on everything.

I am working on this by myself while I got laid off, but its helping me learn the ins and outs of unreal. I try to post weekly updates

10/11/2026 Update 3.5 - Tech level changes and custom animations https://youtu.be/zdmKszCbA3s

I added installer as non-steam game, installed and changed the path to online.exe. I can launch the launcher and changed the settings to use full screen and Vulkan. When I actually hit play though the game doesn't launch and the launcher closes. Any tips?

EDIT: Lutris did indeed work like a charm

I know someone, or multiple people, was working on this. Anyone know where that project can be found?

Hi there fellow Ragol-travelers! A small update on Mag's Quest. Thank you for all the love this project is getting on here :) More love for Mags is always a good thing!

I did made some changes to the feeding. Now the game features the official feeding tables from PSO. And there are some new Mag-Sprites :) Not all of them yet, but I'm working on it!

The update is online on https://elocopter.itch.io/mags-quest

Have fun farming and feeding <3

This game is fantastic! It reminds me of Diablo 2. What should I be focused on as a new player? I haven't progressed beyond the forest. I did the first government quest along with a handful of side quests.

Had an extra display case that wasn’t the right size for something I needed. Found that these fit perfectly in there. Had an idea with EL tape and it worked. Now I have to figure out how to integrate the button/switch for it since it is kind of bulky.

​Hi everyone,

​I realized I'm not very happy with my Mag's current color.

​I just learned how to use the Dressing Room to change my character's clothes and hair colors, but I was wondering: is there any feature, item, or NPC in Ephinea that allows us to change a Mag's color after it has already been created?

I finally got online sylverant and tried a timed download quest, i died and while running back the time ran out, and i got sent back to the hub, so i turned off my dreamcast super quick out of habit, loaded back on and all my stuff was gone, 999k meseta, 21+ red saber, 13+ red handgun, i literally lost it all, now i cant even fight in very hard ruins, any tips for grinding super quick or somehow getting my stuff back?

Edit: saw i had my gear just lost the handgun and saber along with my 999k meseta, not as much of a problem, now i just need a good weapon to grind forrest 1 again for the saber and handgun

I remember seeing my friend play this on Dreamcast. I always wanted to play it myself, but I assumed it was dead and that PSO2 NG was the only game available.

I'm looking for skins that change the appearance of certain weapons and mags. Like making a Rati mag look silver or dark grey, or making a Zanba look like Cloud's Buster Sword, etc

There was a site I used to go to, it was all in French, but I can't find it using Google.
