I got PSO V2 on the DC as a gift many years ago, but I didn't have a credit card, so I called it "Phantasy Star Offline". I spent months grinding through the main campaign as a pudgy RAcast, but I simply couldn't beat the game meant for four players. To this day this remains one of my favorite games, and I never got to fully experience it.
I was reminiscing the other day, and a few google searches brought me here and I'm so happy! Now I have some questions I'm hoping you can answer.
Do you think this game can be played casually? I have a job and a family now, I can't devote so much energy to it. I'm talking go in, fight for a while, sell loot, keep what looks best, feed the mag whatever seems to be working, and sign off. Do you think this will sincerely affect the endghame results? Will I end up with a broken character, or only a slight disadvantage, if I use common sense instead of a step-by-step walk-through?
If not, could you recommend a good guide? I searched for a while and there's a lot, and there are many PSO versions out now...
What's a good place to start for a Lv 1 character? I noticed many guild missionjs have been added, and I'm not sure in which order I should tackle them.
Is voice chat strictly necessary? I'd rather use the in-game comms.
Any advice for a DC veteran from more than 10 years ago?
Thanks!
