Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst
author=gabicho
Are the PSO2 servers really region locked? I never noticed! That really sucks for people that can't even try the JP version if they wanted to.
I haven't bothered trying to play, but I've heard the Southeast Asia server is region locked. The JP server, to my knowledge, isn't. Again, I haven't tried playing it yet. I'd rather just stick to PSOBB until they get around to releasing an NA server.
What annoys me the most is that this isn't a case of development hell or anything. The game is finished(or, as finished as any MMO is) and has even been completely localized by fans(and I've heard there's an official translation that was finished shortly after the JP release).
I sincerely hope the only reason they're delaying is so they can find a reliable publisher to handle the NA servers.

Yeah, I'm extremely disappointed that Sega has been silent about PSO2. They originally said they'd give a NA release in "early 2013", but all they've said since then is a generic "The game is delayed.".
I agree PSO should have been a bit more random in level design. Episode 4 remedied that slightly with more varied layouts and having 4 different routes to enter the Crater area from, though they were still pretty similar.

So I've been on a bit of a PSO binge lately. I don't feel like playing on foreign PSO2 servers, and it doesn't seem like they plan on actually offering a North American release anymore(unless you consider a year or so of saying nothing but "We will provide further information when it is available" to be promising).
Anyways, I've been playing on a server called Revillution PSO(RevPSO for short). It's a nice little server with slightly higher exp and rare monster appearance rates(currently bugged and a bit higher than intended), but otherwise pretty close to the original and has most of the content from JP and NA versions of Blue Burst.
Just wondering if there are any other PSO fans around here - It's an old game, but it's aged well in my opinion(as far as games centered around grinding and loot, at least).

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Legend of Dragoon is still one of my favorite PS1 RPGs. Dennis Martin had some crazy awesome compositions, pity he doesn't seem to compose much anymore.
Playing a little Borderlands 2 now. I've played Krieg too much...I'm far to reckless to play as any other character, now. I always end up on fire with no shields.

Jade Empire: Special Edition for PC.
I started it up for the first time in a long time and loaded my save, which happened to be on Jade Master(essentially a New Game+ mode). Getting my ass handed to me because I'm once again inexperienced, and in Jade Master mode you do 25% of your normal damage while the enemies do 350% of their normal damage.

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!
Making some retro sound effects for the game - So far I've got footsteps and door sounds. The game is feeling quite a bit more lively now, though I've made sure to tone down the SFX enough to not be annoying. I'm currently making weapon/skill and system sound effects. Happy with how they're turning out so far.
Final Fantasy III "Remake" Coming to Steam (With Cards!)
I think I'd have preferred a Final Fantasy VI port/remake, rather than the original FF3. The DS version of III was all the remake we needed, IMO. And you know, you just can't compete with this:

DmC: Devil May Cry. I'd already beaten it a couple times, but I just upgraded my monitor into a shiny new 24" LED TV. My laptop has a subpar Intel HD4000, so I was curious to see how much of a performance hit my games would take running them at full resolution. Pretty impressed to see that I can almost max DmC on a 24" while still running extremely smooth.

Speaking of remastered RM2K3 stuff..

I did this one a while back to see what I could do with a nice orchestral pack. It's more of a WIP, but I'll probably never get around to finishing it. On the other hand, here's one of the opening themes for my game:

Everyday Pon, Everybody is Pon
I'll toss in a couple of my favorites. First off, some Do As Infinity because they're just that awesome. Unfortunately, this is the only version of the song I can find on Youtube:
Aside from Do As Infinity, I sometimes listen to Kalifina or Scandal. I'll listen to YUI if I want some softer j-rock/pop. There's also Eir Aoi - She's got an amazingly powerful voice, and her music tends to roll between hard rock and pop pretty often.
