CASTs

2008-05-17T09:32:48Z

JubeiSaotome: Vivienne

[[Image:Male Cast.jpg|thumb|right|Male CAST]]

One of the four PSU playable races. CASTs (usually known as ''Casts'') are androids, though in PSO episode III they were referred to as 'Humanoids' instead. CASTs are unique in that they are able to use [[SUV Weapons]]. CASTs are quantitatively not the dominant species on any of the planets, but on [[Parum]] they make up most of the government. They are also unique in that they are the only class that wears [[Parts]] instead of [[Clothes]] for aesthetics, and can only use [[Hair Accessories]] when using a humanoid head, with hair.

* Home Planet: [[Parum]]
* NPC Partner: [[Story Characters#Lou|Lou]]

== Visuals ==

CASTs are potentially the most clunky and bulky characters in the game in terms of design, although they can be very lean and muscular. They can have either a robotic face, or one that looks quite human. Depending on which face style is chosen, certain accessories may or may not be used. It is worth noting that, once you have chosen either a robotic or a humanoid face, the facial type cannot currently be changed after character creation is finalized. The expansion, Ambition of the Illuminus, allows casts to change their facial type during a makeover.

== Racial Strengths and Weaknesses ==

=== Strengths ===
* Able to use [[SUV Weapons]]. These are ''Photon Blast''-esque attacks that do massive damage.
* They excel in [[Attack Power]] making them great [[Hunters]].
* Their [[ATA]] is great, making them even better [[Hunters]] and excellent [[Rangers]], too.
* Their [[HP]] is almost as good as Beasts'.
* Unlike in PSO, they can cast [[TECHNICS]] if they switch their class to [[Force]].
* They gain stat bonuses for the Ranger and Fortegunner [[Types]].

=== Weaknesses ===
* They are relatively bad forces.
* Their ''Resta'' is expected to be insufficient at higher levels, as well as their damage Techniques.
* Racially suffer from the lowest [[EVP]] and [[MST]].

Translation errors

2008-05-14T09:54:50Z

JubeiSaotome: Stag

The purpose of this article is to collect and list the spelling errors and/or inconsistencies in the English version of Phantasy Star Universe.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|-
! Location !! Name !! Correct translation !! Description
|-
| Enemy || Tengohg || Tengoug || All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
|-
| Enemy || Alterazgohg || Alterazgoug || All other members of the monster family (Zoalgoug, Onmagoug...) use "goug".
|-
| Enemy || Go Bajilla || Go Badira || Meant to match the enemy "Badira", as evidenced by the JP version.
|-
| Enemy || De Rol Le || De Rolei || Ironically matching the English PSO name. The JP PSU name had a deliberately minor alteration from the JP PSO name (also see: Dragon & De Ragan).
|-
| Weapon || Ank Bico || Ank Pico || A reference to the "Pico Hammer" weapon used by the "Sonic" series character Amy Rose.
|-
| Weapon || Assasin || Assassin || Misspelling - is meant to be "Assassin", as shown on the board and mirrored with the Kubara version, Assassic.
|-
| Weapon || Halp Serafi || Harp Serafi || Probably meant to be ''Harp Serafi'', however the Japanese uses ''harupu'' as opposed to the more logical ''haapu''.
|-
| Weapon || Rod || Rodoh/Rodou || Is actually meant to be ''Rodoh'' or ''Rodou''. The GRM equivalent in Ambition of the Illuminus is called ''Rod''.
|-
| Weapon || Stag Cutralli|| Stag Cutlery || Typographical error of a weapon from PSO.
|-
| Weapon || Vullseye || Bullseye || A mistake in the original Japanese.
|-
| Unit || Hard / Night || Hard / Knight || Part of the "Knight" unit series, mistranslated to Night.
|-
| Set bonus || Rayharod & Reiha-senba || Rayharaod & Rayha-senba/Reiharod & Reiha-senba || Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus.
|-
| Set bonus || Nafli-zashi & Nafri-senba || Nafli-zashi & Nafli-senba/Nafri-zasha & Nafri-senba || Translated separately and differently. Originally the aligned names provide a clue to the set bonus.
|-
| Decoration || BT Lovers || VT Lovers || The "BT" is supposed to stand for "Valentine", and thus should probably have been VT. Also, conjecturally, rendering it "VD" (for "Valentine's Day") would probably have been problematic—"VD" also stands for "venereal disease," an older term for sexually transmitted diseases.
|-
| Decoration || Jao || Chao/Jaggo || The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which '''itself''' is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
|-
| Decoration || Relaxing Jao || Relaxing Chao/Relaxing Jaggo || The name of the enemy it relates to is "Jaggo", which '''itself''' is a (probably intentional) variation of the Chao they have similarities to.
|-
| Item || Agtaride || Shiftaride || Emulates the TECHNIC "Shifta", whose JP name is "Agtal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Shifta could be corrected to Agtal.
|-
| Item || Defbaride || Debandide/Debanide/Debaride || Emulates the TECHNIC "Deband", whose JP name is "Defbal", which matches in the same way Retier, Zodial and Megistar match their item names. Alternately Deband could be corrected to Defbal.
|-
| Character Name || Fulyen Curtz || Fullyen Curtz || As used in the dialogue of Chapter 15 (Episode 2 Chapter 3). His forename is actually "Fullyen" as stated anywhere else.
|}

===Translations inconsistent with earlier games (but not incorrect)===
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
|-
! Location !! Name !! Alternative translation !! Description
|-
| Enemy || Dark Falz || Dark Force || Dark Force is just an alternative translation of Dark Falz which appears in Phantasy Star II-IV, but the Japanese kana suggests that Falz is the correct name.
|-
| Enemy || Jigo Booma || Gigobooma || A throwback to "Gigobooma" of Phantasy Star Online, as evidenced by the JP version matching its JP PSO name.
|-
| Weapon || Shato || Sato || A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this equipment was called "Sato". The PSO/PSU names matched on the JP version.
|-
| Weapon || Sonichi || Soniti || A throwback to Phantasy Star Online, however in that game this was called "Soniti", it references Sonic Team. The PSO/PSU names match on the JP version.
|-
| Weapon || Yasminakov 0002 || Yasminkov 0002 || Inconsistent, refers to the ''Yasminkov'' series of weapons from ''PSO''. The PSO/PSU names matched on the JP version.
|-

== Introduction ==
Hello, I am Prince Jubei of Saotome, bringer of drama and lulz. I originally played PSU from launch till late december, where I got disenchanted with the game and it's broken system. I only came back recently with the AoI updates to find the game playable again. I tend to solo a lot, well most of my comrades on PSU have been playing the full year and I'd rather not waste their time with babysitting.

Hello, I am Prince Jubei of Saotome, bringer of drama and lulz. I originally played PSU from launch till late december, where I got disenchanted with the game and it's broken system.

Originally, PC, until it died slowly, one piece of hardware at a time. Currently I'm surviving on the PS2 version until I buy a new PC. Now in AotI flavour.

JubeiSaotome: /* Sidebar update */ :3

== Sidebar navigation comments ==
I'm about to update the main page to announce the test run of sidebar navigation. This section should be used for visitors to leave feedback on the new system. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:52, 1 January 2008 (CST)

== Sidebar update ==
I've been working on a lot of the articles that will head our future navigation system to get them ready for it. As such, I'd like to implement an update to the sidebar; just a small one to add some of the articles to it and hopefully get some user feedback. Response on this has been disturbingly minimal since the process began; possibly because of people being out of town for the holidays, or maybe due to massive minor edits flooding the recent changes page over the past week. Either way, I'd love to make some progress. Any objections? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:14, 31 December 2007 (CST)
* I'm all for it, what are the articles that need fixing in preparation? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 20:13, 31 December 2007 (CST)
** Looking over things, not really as much as I thought, actually. I guess it's mostly just small standardization issues that need to be addressed, but otherwise, things look good. In that case, I'm going to play with the sidebar some. If there's a major outcry against the changes I make, well... that's what rollbacks are for. ;) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 20:43, 1 January 2008 (CST)
* OK, I've added a few of the articles to the sidebar. (Took a few edits since some things didn't work like I wanted, but it's there now.) I noticed that subcategories do not work like I thought. So unless there's a way around that, we'll have to nix a few things from the list. (Skills, bullets and TECHNICs under photon arts, for example. And as you can see, weapon grinding isn't sub-categorized under weapons like I wanted. Same with rare enemies under enemies. No big deal, though.) Anyway, I'd like to propose that we remove the external links from the sidebar and place them on our front page in a "useful links" section or something. I'll see if I can do a mock-up of something a little later. Alright, so... thoughts, opinions, death threats? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 20:59, 1 January 2008 (CST)
** Awesome, I like it. Fits in well, aside from the obvious clean up in the near future. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:32, 2 January 2008 (CST)

== Enemies subsection ==
Considering the popularity of our rare spawn chart section, I've added a subsection to the "Enemies" category in the list. Since we're working on removing the spawn charts from the massive article they're all in now and placing them in their respective mission articles, we should decided exactly what to do with the old page. I was thinking that we could use it to fully explain how to read the notation of our spawn charts, then include either a list of mission or simply a link to the mission list stating that individual charts will be found in their respective mission articles. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:21, 28 December 2007 (CST)
* The JP wiki, for anyone desiring to emulate that, has one article for all the rare charts of each planet. My preference, however, would be to have the (renamed) 'Rare enemies' article explain how mission variants work, list and link the rare enemies themselves, detail the chart notation, and link directly to the charts contained within the mission articles themselves. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 13:27, 28 December 2007 (CST)
** Your idea sounds great to me. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:53, 28 December 2007 (CST)
*** Might be forcing the issue too much, but some mission article rare spawn charts are already complete. It might be an idea to replace those entries in the [[Rare monsters]] article already, sa that'd help the transition move along as well as be an immediate cut to server load since - as Espio's noted - the page is one of the most popular on the site and is still larger than recommended - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 18:04, 28 December 2007 (CST)
**** Very true. If I have time tonight, I'll try to get some of the tables transferred over, converting them to the new standard while I'm at it. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 18:51, 28 December 2007 (CST)

==Comments, suggestions?==
Well, I've gotten a comment on this so far. Not to sound like I'm rushing this, but I'd love to see us get a new navigation system going. Aside from us, the visitors have wanted one for a while, so I'd like to give them what they want. So, look good? Is there anything we should add or take out? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 21:04, 24 December 2007 (CST)
* It's a good list, but how do you get to other content aside from search? Maybe there needs to be an actual full contents page that's linked within this list? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 02:59, 25 December 2007 (CST)
** I was thinking that we could include subsection listings in certain main articles; that would help to display other sections without necessarily expanding the navigation list. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 10:25, 25 December 2007 (CST)
*I think each page should also have links to at least its parent pages so that you can click around no matter where you are. Something like:
{| class="wikitable"
| [[Main_Page|Index]]||[[Weapons]]||[[Daggers]]||[[Deva-zashi]]
|}
at the top of each page. [[User:Au+|Au+]] 10:33, 25 December 2007 (CST)
** Breadcrumbs, yeah, they should always be in a navigation. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 20:25, 25 December 2007 (CST)
** Yeah, I think that's a good idea. The index wouldn't really need to be on the list, of course, since the logo in the upper-left will take you back to that. The other stuff might be good to have. (I guess the weapons section is covered since all categories have the weapons table shown.) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 20:20, 25 December 2007 (CST)
* Due to the recent interest some visitors are showing toward offline game data, I've separated the site map list into network and offline sections. Like this, the list will grow quite a bit, but with some reworking of certain sections, such as Your Room and photon arts, we can put subsection links on their respective pages as opposed to having them listed individually in the map, therefore saving some space. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 10:19, 27 December 2007 (CST)

== Bump ==
* Jump bumping this back up to the top of recent changes. It gets buried so quickly with all of the stuff we've been doing as of late. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:15, 27 December 2007 (CST)

Frequently Asked Questions

2008-01-01T06:38:44Z

JubeiSaotome: /* Will there be S-Rank Weapons? */ Fix

Questions generally asked by people wanting to know information, or new players. If you feel something should be added to this FAQ, please do so!

=General Questions=
==When will the game be released?==
See [[Release]].
==Game cost and online fee questions.==
===How much will the game cost to buy?===
For those in the UK, it's set to be (around) £35, and for American users, it costs $50 for the PC and PS2 versions ($60 for the Xbox 360 version).

===Will there be a fee to play online?===
Yes, there will be a monthly fee in order to play Phantasy Star Universe online. The recurring charge will be $9.99/month (USD), and the billing will be handled by the [http://billing.playsega.com/ PlaySega website] (for the PC and PS2 versions). There is also a 6-month one-time payment option, the price of which is set at $49.95. This saves $10 dollars over 6 months of the recurring one-month subscription.

* The billing for the 360 version seems to be handled on the Live Marketplace, with varying costs for different countries.
*£6.99 for UK xbox360 version

===Will I get a free month of online with purchase of the game?===
* The Japanese version did have one free month with game purchase.
* For the US/EU release, the one-month payment plan comes with a free 15 day trial for new subscribers, whereas new subscribers purchasing the 6-month plan receive 30 free days (in addition to the 6 they buy, so it works out to 7 months for the price of 5 [for new subscribers]).
* Xbox360 users do not benefit from any form of free trials.

===I heard that non-JP people cannot pay for PSU, is this true?===
This is true, but '''only for the Japanese version'''. Sega blocked all Non-Asian credit cards. You can pay via Netcash or a friend in Japan and PayPal.

===How can I pay for online play? Will there be prepaid cards available?===
For the PC and PS2 versions, payment can be made on the [http://billing.playsega.com/ PlaySega website] using either a credit or debit card. Currently, only Visa and Mastercard cards are accepted. Currently, there are no known plans to release prepaid cards for the PC and PS2 versions. However, prepaid Visa or Mastercard giftcards will be accepted.

===Will the PC version be available for download, or only in retail locations?===
Currently, there are no known plans to have the PC version of PSU available for purchase via download over the Internet.

==Server Linking==
===Cross-platform Linking===
The PC and PS2 versions will share the same server, while the Xbox 360 version will have its own separate server. This may be due to the voice chat facility, or the Xbox Live subscription system, or Microsoft having influence over/control of the servers.

===Cross-terrority Linking===
For the PC and PS2 versions, US and EU players will play on the same server, while the JP server will be separate.
The server for the Xbox 360 version is international, including all three regions.

===So, PS2 and PC play on the same servers, is my account shared between the two platforms?===
Yes; in Japan owners of the PS2 & PC games can use their account on either a PS2 or PC copy of the game.

==What measures are Sonic Team taking against cheating and hacking?==
On the PC version of the game, Sonic Team are using ''nProtect GameGuard'' in order to monitor computers for applications that can be used to modify the game or otherwise cheat in-game. This is the same program that was used on ''Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst'', and most programs used to cheat on that game do not work currently.

It can be suspected as well that Sonic Team have implemented their own internal measures against cheating as well. This may be a major difference from all versions of PSO, which did not appear to give much consideration to security (hence the rampant cheating on several versions).

GameGuard will not be used on PS2 and Xbox360, for what should be obvious reasons (you can't run other programs on them).

Also, it will be worth pointing out that PSU utilizes server-side saving for [[Network Mode]] characters. [[Story Mode]] and [[Extra Mode]] are client-side, however.
===I heard that you will require a constant internet connection to play PSU, is this true?===
For the PC version of the game, it is true, even if you play Story Mode or Extra Mode. The reason behind this is to prevent people from cheating before going online, and because PSU on PC uses GameGuard. The PS2 and Xbox360 versions do not require a constant internet connection.

==I do not use Windows, I use Linux - can I still play PSU?==
At this time, no. There will be no official Linux version of PSU released as of yet (and there has been no indication there ever will be one), and WINE (the popular Windows compatibility layer) does not support GameGuard, rendering the game unplayable on Linux until someone solves that. You WILL however be able to play if you cut your Linux partition by about 10 gigs and make a new, Windows one.

==I use a Mac, can I play PSU on that?==
No. There is not even any indication that a Mac version of PSU will be released. However, the ability to run Windows on the newer Macs somewhat invalidates this problem.

==Do I need a PS2 HDD to play Phantasy Star Universe?==
No, you don't need one. However, client patches will be stored on the Memory Card, so you '''will''' need one of those.

It has been revealed that a PSU savegame file will take up 2,680kb of space on a PS2 memory card.

=Game Questions=
==What modes of play does PSU have?==
PSU has three modes of play - [[Story Mode]], [[Extra Mode]] and [[Network Mode]].

*In Story Mode, you take the role of [[Ethan Waber]] as he travels across the [[Gurhal Star System]] in order to save it from the alien force '[[SEED]]'.
*In Extra Mode, you can create your own character and travel through levels you have cleared in Story Mode. This mode plays similar to the Network Mode, but is offline. You can also call upon NPCs you have befriended with Ethan in Story Mode to battle alongside you (they will be controlled by AI).
*In Network Mode, sometimes called 'online' or 'Online Mode' you play online with other people. You can create your own character and play with friends. Little is known about the story of Network Mode, but it does take place after the events of the Story Mode. This is closest to the gameplay of Phantasy Star Online.

===Is there an Offline Multiplayer mode?===
No.

===Can I use characters/items from the offline modes online?===
No. Offline and Online are seperate.

==What will PSU play like?==
See [[Gameplay]].
==How many characters will I be allowed on an account?==
Four per account per world for online play. (Confirmed by Beatrixkiddo)

Story & Extra mode also allow for four character saves.

==Will there be an active GM Team?==
It's currently believed that lobbies will be moderated by GMs. During the Closed Beta Trial GMs often made announcements which scrolled across the game screen.
==How many people can play together?==
The limit of players in a party is 6. (Confirmed by Beatrixkiddo)
==Will there be PvP, or a return of Battle Mode?==
As of yet there is no form of PvP in PSU. The emphasis is on co-operative gameplay, not PvP. It may be added in the future.

==Have shared banks been implemented?==
Yes! Now transferring items between characters will be quick and easy.

==Will there be Challenge Mode?==
Currently there is no word on Challenge Mode.

==Will there be S-Rank Weapons?==
Yes. Many S-rank weapons, as well as protective equipment, have been released. Most are available as monster drops and boss box drops around the system. However, they are not the PSO style S-Rank weapons, which you name and can grind to a large number. In PSU, S-Rank is the highest (For now) Photon Efficiency class for weapons and armor. Every rank of equipment covers 3 efficiancy stars.
*eg;
C Rank = 1 ~ 3 Stars
A Rank = 7 ~ 9 Stars
Currently there are no custom equipment. This may change in future, however there is no word on it from SEGA or Sonic Team.

==What's this I'm hearing about a cracked Character Creator from the Beta?==
It's a hacked client, and unless you know someone from the Beta with the files, it's very hard to get hold of. Its legality is disputed, too, obviously. Posting links to the cracked client is '''not''' allowed here.
[http://www.psu-chara.com/create This site] should take care of all your character creation needs for now.

(I guess the weapons section is covered since all categories have the weapons table shown.) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 20:20, 25 December 2007 (CST)
* Due to the recent interest some visitors are showing toward offline game data, I've separated the site map list into network and offline sections. Like this, the list will grow quite a bit, but with some reworking of certain sections, such as Your Room and photon arts, we can put subsection links on their respective pages as opposed to having them listed individually in the map, therefore saving some space. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 10:19, 27 December 2007 (CST)

== Bump ==
* Jump bumping this back up to the top of recent changes. It gets buried so quickly with all of the stuff we've been doing as of late. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:15, 27 December 2007 (CST)

== Thoughts ==
I like it! I never thought to add them before, but the pictures really help to liven up the page. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 00:27, 30 December 2007 (CST)
* Yeah, kind of inspired from the typical MMO update page fare. Was originally thinking of a standardization, like so;
* New missions
* Store updates
* New equipment
* New PAs
* System (Level cap, PAs levels, etc)
* Events and seasonal info
Some may end up redundant, though. Such as; seasonal & events. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:36, 30 December 2007 (CST)

JubeiSaotome: Trying this. Thoughts?

''This is a listing of updates to international Phantasy Star Universe during the month of December in 2007.''

==Update 033==

[[Image:Habirao.png|thumb|Habirao F.D. can now be accessed via Shikon Tanze Pilgrimage Route.]]'''Date:''' 13th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 01:00 on the 14th) to 20th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 01:00 on the 21st).

====Seasonal lobbies====
The Clyez, Holtes and Dagora City lobbies have all been decorated for the Christmas season. And while running missions, be on the lookout for the rare [[Rappy Noel]]!

====New missions====
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"

|-
| [[Hill of Spores]] || C-S || Shikon Tanze route || Habirao F.D.: Old Village Area || Habirao F.D.: Old Village
|-
| [[Dancing Birds]] || C-S || Habirao F.D.: Old Village || Saguraki C.D. Area || Saguraki C.D.
|}

====New items====
The new missions have introduced numerous new high-rank weapon and line shield drops. Also, clothing and parts shops have been updated with numerous new color variations for existing sets. And the offertory box at Shitenkaku has been updated to include the [[Mikumiko]] and [[CAS-miko Set]] as random gifts given through donations. It should be noted that these were originally stated to have been included in the last update, however this was a mistake on SEGA's part.

[[Casino Voloyal]]'s prize counter received an update which rotated out the Modern decoration series and replaced it with the Sweet/Berry series. Three new music discs were added along with two new redecoration tickets.

====TECHNIC system update====
Several adjustments were made to the TECHNIC system:
* Casting time was adjusted for several attack TECHNICs. Some low level TECHNICs will cast slightly slower than before, however some high-level TECHNICs will not cast a little faster.
* Small changes were made to Resta, Reverse, Giresta, Regrant and Megistar.
* Ra-series TECHNICs will now hit four targets instead of only three at LV31+.
* All TECHNICs receive a 20% attack boost when cast with a rod.

====Miscellaneous====
Upon completion of this maintenance period, it was discovered that a test level, [[Enemy category]], was left accessible to all players. This level ran players through Linear Line (despite initiating at HIVE #3) and put them against spawns of Jaggos, Rappy Noels and Darbelans. A rollback had to be performed to remove the massive number of rare items (such as the seasonal [B] [[Dagger of Serafi]]) received through this mission.

==Update 034==
[[Image:AMF_Central_Command.png|thumb|Electronic Brain can now be accessed from AMF Central Command.]]'''Date:''' 20th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 01:00 on the 21st) to ?? of ?? maintenance (from 23:00 to ??:?? on the ??).

====Seasonal lobbies====
While the Christmas lobbies are still up across Gurhal, come January 01, New Years decorations will be put up in Clyez and Ohtoku Cities.

Also, remember to check out the Variety Shop in Clyez City as well as Casino Voloyal's prize counter, as new room decorations and more have been added to both!

Numerous new skills have been added to the item exchange mission [[Skill License]] at Dagora City's GUARDIANS Branch.

Operation Firebreak

2007-12-30T05:53:46Z

JubeiSaotome: Logo & link.

----
This article describes an [[event]] which is no longer active, and is kept for historical reasons.
----
[[Image:Firebreak-logo.png|thumb|Operation Firebreak logo.]]Operation Firebreak was a special event that was run from Friday, May 25, 2007 through June 29, 2007 on the English PC/PS2 and the Xbox 360 PSU servers. Players were required to run special missions to "purify" fire SEED cores on each of the three planets, [[Parum]], [[Neudaiz]], and [[Moatoob]]. Completion of these missions earned the standard bonuses gained for mission completion, and also counted towards the global Firebreak score. The cumulative point total was shared between the English language PC and PlayStation 2 versions of PSU and both language versions of the Xbox 360 release.

Before undertaking a Firebreak mission for the first time, players were recommended to take the short tutorial on the event available from the Guardians Colony 5th floor. The tutorial also gave you [[Goggles]], if you had not previously attempted any of the Online Story Missions.

Seven Firebreak missions were made available, in ranks C, B, and A (no S or S2). Unlike the Japanese PC/PS2 version of this event, the standard missions remained available for play. Monsters in Firebreak missions gave larger EXP rewards than usual.

== General Mission Overview ==
* When you began a Firebreak mission, you were given a [[Photon Eraser]] as long as your inventory was not full. The [[Photon Eraser]] was taken away upon completion of the mission; however, if you quit the game without clearing the mission, or abandoned the mission, you would retain the [[Photon Eraser]]. You could (and still can) get rid of it in the Operation Firebreak mission available from the GUARDIANS Colony 5th Floor.
* All SEED cores had to be purified to complete each mission (except for Scorched Valley, which has no SEED cores).
* Each SEED core was surrounded by a number of hidden SEED pods. Players had to use the [[Goggles]] to locate these pods, and then use the [[Photon Eraser]] to purify them. The pods came in two sizes; small pods took one player to purify, while large pods had to be purified by at least three players at once. (Having more players purify the same pod sped up purification.) Once all the pods were purified, the SEED core's defenses were nullified, and it could be destroyed in three hits.
* SEED pods had a good chance of leaving behind [[Ban-photon]]s when broken.
* SEED cores could leave either [[Ban-photon]]s or -carbon/-resin items of the appropriate type to the current planet when destroyed.
* With the exception of the end mini-bosses of the levels and rare enemies which may appear, all enemies were Fire [[element]].

== Ban-photon Exchange ==
During the event, players could trade a specified number of [[Ban-photon]]s to Bruce for the following items within the Operation Firebreak mission from the GUARDIANS Colony 5th Floor: 
{| border=1 cellspacing=0
|-
| [[Ban-photon]]s || Item received
|-
| 1 || [[Burn Trap]]
|-
| 5 || [[Burn Trap G]]
|-
| 10 || [[Cave Red]] room style
|-
| 20 || "[[BR Burning Poster]]" room decoration - Only available during Firebreak
|-
| 30 || [[Scape Doll]]
|-
| 40 || [[Jellen]] TECHNIC disk
|-
| 50 || [[Berry Red]] room style - Only available during Firebreak
|-
| 60 || [[Shifta]] TECHNIC disk
|-
| 70 || [[Gibarta]] TECHNIC disk
|-
| 80 || [[Gigaline]] (5★ GRM armor, 26% Fire)
|-
| 99 || [[Garment Aura]] (6★ Tenora Works unit, +3 STA) - Only available during Firebreak
|} 

== Firebreak Missions ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0
|-
!width="100"|Mission Name
!width="80"|Planet
!width="500"|Mission Specifications
|-
| Sea of Fire || Parum || Timed mission where you had to purify all SEED pods as quickly as possible. S-Rank required a clear time of 2:30 or less.
|-
| Burning Garden || Parum || Timed mission where you had to purify all SEED pods as quickly as possible; there were more than in Sea of Fire. S-Rank required a clear time of 9:00 or less. This mission required at least 3 players.
|-
| Seabed Blaze || Parum || Timed mission where you had to purify all SEED pods as quickly as possible. The mission would be failed if it was not completed within 15 minutes; S-Rank required a clear time of ??? or less. This mission required at least 3 players.
|-
| Urgent Orders || Parum || Timed mission where you had to purify all SEED pods as quickly as possible. The mission would be failed if it was not completed within 30 minutes; S-Rank required a clear time of 15:00 or less. This mission required at least 4 players. The Jarbas in the final block had a higher than normal chance of being replaced with [[Jaggo]]s instead.
|-
| Heat Wave Island || Neudaiz || Straightforward mission; defeating all enemies cleared it. S-Rank simply required all SEED pods to be purified before the last enemy was defeated.
|-

Thanks for contributing your knowledge to PSUpedia. One small thing though, please use the Preview button when you can, to cut down on the number of edits total. Thanks! --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|Beatrixkiddo]] 17:18, 21 December 2007 (CST)

Please, use the preview button, and make all of your edits at once, so I won't have to do that. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 17:38, 23 December 2007 (CST)
** Ok, this is really getting annoying. This isn't a forum, so quit making largely pointless edits on people's talk pages. Don't tell us what you edited; [[Special:Contributions/Amaury | we already know.]] Don't post stuff like "Oh, sorry." That's just spam. Don't make so many repeated edits, I've already warned you about that. Don't do stupid things like changing the date in the luck box. I think we all damn well know what year it is. I'm trying to be as fair and lenient with you as I can, but if you're going to contribute, please do it in a more non-spam fashion. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 20:48, 29 December 2007 (CST)

Ambition of the Illuminus

2007-12-29T08:28:03Z

JubeiSaotome: /* New room goods and remodeling tickets */ Descriptions.

==About ''Ambition of the Illuminus''==
[[Image:Ambition_of_illuminus.jpg|thumb|right|Ambition of the Illuminus]]
''Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus'' (ファンタシースターユニバース：イルミナスの野望 ''fantashii sutaa yunibaasu: iruminasu no yabou'') is the upcoming expansion to SonicTeam's 2006 multi-player online RPG ''Phantasy Star Universe''.

==Release information==
The PC and PlayStation 2 versions of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' released in Japan on September 27, 2007. The Xbox 360 version will be released worldwide on November 20, 2007. The PC/PS2 versions will be released in North America on this same day, but the European release will not be until January 25, 2008.

The PC and PlayStation 2 editions of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' will be released on disc for sale in retail outlets just as the original game was, with a MSRP of $39.95. The Xbox 360 version, however will be released only on Xbox Live as downloadable content, at a cost of 1600 Microsoft points.

===Network trial information===
Japanese PC and PS2 users were able to participate in a free trial of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' this Spring (PS2 users were required to log in to their accounts on a PC with ''PSU'' installed in order to play the trial). According to SonicTeam, the purpose behind this trial was to test connection and network stability as well as try out new in-game features. This trial ran from April 05 until April 26.

Participants in the trial were able to either start a brand new character or carry over their current character from ''PSU''. If a participant decided to carry over their current character, a copy of their character data was made to the servers specifically set up for the trial of ''Illuminus'' while the original character data remained on the main game servers. The reason for this was that no information, stats or items from the network trial would carry over to the original game. Following the close of the trial, all character data on the trial servers was wiped. At this point, anyone who decided to carry over their character data has returned to the original game where they left off.

====''PSO'' in ''PSU''?====
Magazine scans and screenshots of the expansion have shown various ''Phantasy Star Online'' references, ranging from weapons such as the Durandal Repca and the Holy Ray, to screenshots showing a character in a HUmar outfit, fighting Rappies in what appears to be Lupus Silva (a.k.a. Forest 1). Currently, no detailed explanation has been given to explain these weapon, clothing and location references.

The ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' trial featured a mission called Deja Vu Forest (既視の樹林 ''kishi no jurin'') which took place in the previously mentioned Lupus Silva look-alike, however the description was vague, only stating that the mission occurred in an alternate dimension.

==New weapon categories==
Four new weapon categories have been revealed for this expansion, bringing the total up to an impressive 27 categories.

===Whips===
Whips (ウィップ) are right-handed striking weapons capable of attacking multiple targets around the wielder. They are not known for having high attack power, however they do excel at inflicting status effects.

===Slicers===
Slicers (スライサー) are right-handed striking weapons capable of releasing blades of photon energy which home in on their target.

===Madoogs===
Madoogs (マドゥーグ) are left-handed TECHNIC-casting weapons. Despite greatly resembling MAGs from ''Phantasy Star Online'', they should not be confused with ''PSO'''s support partner. Compared to wands, madoogs have lower TP with higher PP stats, while possessing a slightly faster casting speed.

===Shadoogs===
Shadoogs (シャドゥーグ) are left-handed ranged weapons that automatically fire at enemies within range. All Shadoogs come with an elemental attribute tied to them, so it is not possible to link a photon art to the weapon. The element of a shadoog determines which status effect it can inflict on the enemies it shoots.

==New weapons==
A plethora of new weapons of all sorts become available in Ambition of the Illuminus, only a handful of which are currently known. To view the new weapons, visit the appropriate [[Weapons|weapon page]] for the item class.

==New types==
Two new types have been added to ''Ambition of the Illuminus'': Acrofighter and Acrotecher. More agile than any other type, the Acro-classes specialize in naturally quick movements when using their respective type of photon art. (Acrofighters exhibit faster skill movements while Acrotechers cast TECHNICs faster than any other type.) Aside from the addition of these two types, the photon art caps have been raised for everyone and TECHNICs have been split into attack and support categories. Now all photon arts cap off at 40. (During the ''Illuminus'' trial, Acrotechers were able to level support TECHNICs to 50, however this has since been reduced to 40.)

Additionally, Acrofighters are able to use Burn, Poison, and Virus traps, while Acrotechers are able to use all other trap types (Confuse, etc.). However, both types are able to use only regular and G trap varieties.

Three new lobby areas have been revealed; one for each planet. Parum features the beach-front city of Paracabana, Neudaiz has a Gurhalistic shrine on Mt. Ohtoku and Moatoob has a Rappy-themed casino known as Casino Volyale. Aside from these main lobbies, there are a number of smaller mid-point lobbies which can be accessed in between different missions. A few of these include a small village encircled by a bamboo forest as well as a gravesite that greatly resembles the garden players entered in ''PSO'' before confronting Dark Falz.

Ambition of the Illuminus

==About ''Ambition of the Illuminus''==
[[Image:Ambition_of_illuminus.jpg|thumb|right|Ambition of the Illuminus]]
''Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus'' (ファンタシースターユニバース：イルミナスの野望 ''fantashii sutaa yunibaasu: iruminasu no yabou'') is the upcoming expansion to SonicTeam's 2006 multi-player online RPG ''Phantasy Star Universe''.

==Release information==
The PC and PlayStation 2 versions of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' released in Japan on September 27, 2007. The Xbox 360 version will be released worldwide on November 20, 2007. The PC/PS2 versions will be released in North America on this same day, but the European release will not be until January 25, 2008.

The PC and PlayStation 2 editions of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' will be released on disc for sale in retail outlets just as the original game was, with a MSRP of $39.95. The Xbox 360 version, however will be released only on Xbox Live as downloadable content, at a cost of 1600 Microsoft points.

===Network trial information===
Japanese PC and PS2 users were able to participate in a free trial of ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' this Spring (PS2 users were required to log in to their accounts on a PC with ''PSU'' installed in order to play the trial). According to SonicTeam, the purpose behind this trial was to test connection and network stability as well as try out new in-game features. This trial ran from April 05 until April 26.

Participants in the trial were able to either start a brand new character or carry over their current character from ''PSU''. If a participant decided to carry over their current character, a copy of their character data was made to the servers specifically set up for the trial of ''Illuminus'' while the original character data remained on the main game servers. The reason for this was that no information, stats or items from the network trial would carry over to the original game. Following the close of the trial, all character data on the trial servers was wiped. At this point, anyone who decided to carry over their character data has returned to the original game where they left off.

====''PSO'' in ''PSU''?====
Magazine scans and screenshots of the expansion have shown various ''Phantasy Star Online'' references, ranging from weapons such as the Durandal Repca and the Holy Ray, to screenshots showing a character in a HUmar outfit, fighting Rappies in what appears to be Lupus Silva (a.k.a. Forest 1). Currently, no detailed explanation has been given to explain these weapon, clothing and location references.

The ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' trial featured a mission called Deja Vu Forest (既視の樹林 ''kishi no jurin'') which took place in the previously mentioned Lupus Silva look-alike, however the description was vague, only stating that the mission occurred in an alternate dimension.

==New weapon categories==
Four new weapon categories have been revealed for this expansion, bringing the total up to an impressive 27 categories.

===Whips===
Whips (ウィップ) are right-handed striking weapons capable of attacking multiple targets around the wielder. They are not known for having high attack power, however they do excel at inflicting status effects.

===Slicers===
Slicers (スライサー) are right-handed striking weapons capable of releasing blades of photon energy which home in on their target.

===Madoogs===
Madoogs (マドゥーグ) are left-handed TECHNIC-casting weapons. Despite greatly resembling MAGs from ''Phantasy Star Online'', they should not be confused with ''PSO'''s support partner. Compared to wands, madoogs have lower TP with higher PP stats, while possessing a slightly faster casting speed.

===Shadoogs===
Shadoogs (シャドゥーグ) are left-handed ranged weapons that automatically fire at enemies within range. All Shadoogs come with an elemental attribute tied to them, so it is not possible to link a photon art to the weapon. The element of a shadoog determines which status effect it can inflict on the enemies it shoots.

==New weapons==
A plethora of new weapons of all sorts become available in Ambition of the Illuminus, only a handful of which are currently known. To view the new weapons, visit the appropriate [[Weapons|weapon page]] for the item class.

==New types==
Two new types have been added to ''Ambition of the Illuminus'': Acrofighter and Acrotecher. More agile than any other type, the Acro-classes specialize in naturally quick movements when using their respective type of photon art. (Acrofighters exhibit faster skill movements while Acrotechers cast TECHNICs faster than any other type.) Aside from the addition of these two types, the photon art caps have been raised for everyone and TECHNICs have been split into attack and support categories. Now all photon arts cap off at 40. (During the ''Illuminus'' trial, Acrotechers were able to level support TECHNICs to 50, however this has since been reduced to 40.)

Additionally, Acrofighters are able to use Burn, Poison, and Virus traps, while Acrotechers are able to use all other trap types (Confuse, etc.). However, both types are able to use only regular and G trap varieties.

JubeiSaotome: Praise

== JP Magazine Scans ==
* Came across [http://moemi.mithra.to/~psu/uploader/src/psu6236.jpg this] and [http://moemi.mithra.to/~psu/uploader/src/psu6235.jpg this] while browsing the JP image uploader. Since I can't really read Japanese bar katakana I have no idea if this stuff is new info or not, so you might want to look over it if you haven't done so already. If you have, disregard this. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 22:26, 9 September 2007 (BST)
** Hmm, most of it seems to be stuff we already knew about, but in some cases with a little new tidbit thrown in for good measure. For example, it mentions that no new blast badges will be added with ''Illuminus'', however positive status effects will remain on a player during nanoblast (and SUV summoning, for that matter). So this we already knew. It goes on to say that during a nanoblast, beasts will not be susceptible to negative status effects. It's odd that they mention that, because I thought it was that way right now. I think incapacitation is all that can get you, but... the article doesn't point that one out specifically. It just says "enemy-inflicted abnormal status effects." One very interesting thing that is mentioned in the second article is that it's being considered that Protransers may gain the ability to see traps without goggles. Other things the articles go into include changing the drop system around to allow for random elemental attributes on dropped weapons and also a reminder that your personal nanotransformer's space will not be increased, but that you'll be able to increase your PM's space and transport items from your inventory in the lobbies back to your room. So, I guess the only new thing was the Protranser bit. But, it's very interesting. Thanks for pointing these out to me! :) [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 05:08, 10 September 2007 (BST)

== Room Decoration pages ==
* I noticed that you started some work on the room decos (by the by, I'd like to thank you for the work you've been doing recently) - if you need images, I have images of pretty much every room decoration in the game on my file dump [http://mewn.psupedia.info/PSU/roomgoods/ here]. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 19:09, 19 August 2007 (BST)
**My pleasure. :) I'd forgotten about those! Thanks! I'll be able to put them to good use. ;) [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 21:23, 19 August 2007 (BST)

==Throwing Blades / Cards==
* Wait, what? The game actually calls them under the unified name "throwing blades" in the English version. "Cards" is only used in JP. They were thus standardised as TBs on PSUPedia months ago for that reason. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 21:59, 15 August 2007 (BST)
** Which was stupid, in my opinion. We might as well rename [[Sabers]] as [[Single Handed Blades]]. '''Nobody''' calls them "throwing blades." --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 23:07, 15 August 2007 (BST)
*** Ah, I apologize for jumping the gun on that one. But, Qwerty has a point with the single-handed blade thing. Same would apply to double sabers as double blades and rods as long staves since their weapon description windows all refer to them as such. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:22, 15 August 2007 (BST)
**** By the "named after the lowest model" rule that we abide by for every other weapon (save non-GRM weapons, which go by the description/license mission name, which for "Card" '''is''' Throwing Blade by the way...), they would be "Kikamis". - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:35, 15 August 2007 (BST)
***** Point. But does that mean that we'll change the name of the weapon in question to ''Card Fante'' when ''Ambition of the Illuminus'' comes out? After all, that'll be the base GRM model of this weapon. I never expected this to turn into such a big deal, and I apologize for that again, but I guess better out than in, right? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:38, 15 August 2007 (BST)
****** A vote would certainly see this change to Cards, so it's probably best to change it to that '''for now'''. AotI's release and the lowest GRM card should change it though, by the unwritten "lowest GRM" rule everyone uses. On a similar note, AotI will also change "Rods", as there will be a 1* GRM version released, and it '''cannot''' call that "Rod" because that's the 1* Yohmei model! - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:47, 15 August 2007 (BST)
*******I've been very curious about that last one. I doubt that they'll change the entire series of rods we have now to Rodoh, Mayrodoh, Halarodoh, etc. (though, I would actually prefer that!). I kind of have the feeling they might just call this new rod something like ''Rod (GRM)''. But hey, they could surprise us all. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:51, 15 August 2007 (BST)
******** For the record, they can't call it [[Staff]] as that's the name of a 2* GRM wand, confusingly. It's possible they'll rename only the 1* Yohmei to Rodoh, but my suspiscion remains that we'll finally get a name for that weapon category that isn't depressingly phallic. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:53, 15 August 2007 (BST)

* Ignoring the rod stuff, I'll weigh into the Throwing Blade/Card debate. Firstly, when exactly was 'Throwing Blade' made the standard? I don't remember it becoming an official standard, and I think the term is daft. Secondly, it's not true that 'Card' is only used on JP - check the Bullet License mission. It's the only good reference to the weapon type as a whole except the item descriptions and it uses the term 'Card'. Since the term is used in US PSU, and it's the proper name of the weapon type according to the JP Perfect Bible, I would argue Card is the proper term, and that Throwing Blade is simply the translation of a translation (the point being that the JP item descriptions use kanji to describe the weapon types, presumably カード doesn't mean a lot to them). This has nothing to do with the 'unwritten GRM rule', as 1* GRM weapons are named after the proper term, not the other way round (Rod will be an exception, for obvious reasons). At any rate, if this is an issue a vote should be taken on it, before we reach a decision on what to call them.
** On a side note, if we do go by this as the reasoning for calling the weapon type 'Card', the weapon type 'Grenade Launcher' will have to be changed to 'Grenade' as that is the term used. Consistency is better than mix and match based on what we like and don't like. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 19:09, 19 August 2007 (BST)
***Good point on the grenade thing. Personally, and just for the record, I would have nothing against them being known just as that. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 21:35, 19 August 2007 (BST)

I've since restored it for you. Again, my apologies! - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:10, 12 November 2007 (CST)

==Item template design==

Coming soon. Just making a placeholder for the time being.

==Weapon template test==
This example demonstrates the use of the more vivid color-coding to differentiate between items released only on the JP side and those that have not been released at all. It also displays a column to mark which weapons are available in all versions of the game and which are exclusive to ''Ambition of the Illuminus''. I personally think that the italics look a little funny in a table, but I can't make a double-standard for that sake since these abbreviations are representative of game titles, and as such should be italicized. Maybe icons similar to the manufacturer icons would be a better route to take?

=== Old template pages ===
I know this is probably asking for a lot, and I really shouldn't be so picky with it. But would somebody be able to compile a list of enemy, weapon, whatever pages that haven't been changed to the new standard template? I'd like to fix those, but really don't know where to start. - [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 12:35, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* After I made a similar list for the mission articles, I was considering doing the same for weapons, enemies, etc. It will take a boat load of time to do, but it's still possible. I'd suggest in the meantime to not worry about enemies, as I still need to make a few tweaks (in the way of a new infobox like what we're using for the mission articles) to the standard before mass-implementation. As for weapons, for now just select a weapon category from the list and work your way down (or up) checking each link to see if it's been converted over. Actually, I think that might be better than compiling a list since there would probably end up being hundreds of entries on that list. So, I guess enemies would be the major workload for something like this. Anyway, I'll see what I can do when I've got a chance. I'm at work right now, but will have to go shortly as I've got a project coming in very soon that I'll have to get started on. And thanks for your help! We really appreciate it! :D - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 12:47, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* [[Enemy list]]! Didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. I still need to work out a few things with the infobox we'll use, so let's hold off on these articles for the time being. ;) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:16, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* Oh Christ, I did my own one. [[Enemy Article List]]. Still I forgot about Espio's new infobox, so his one is the correct one. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 13:48, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* While on the topic, the PA pages have been long neglected, and I know we shouldn't be trying to put too much on the table at once, but I made(Or stole) a possible template that I think is much easier to read for each PA [http://psupedia.info/User:Saiffy/Sandbox here]. Now, I don't think each PA having their own page is really neccesary, but I think maybe each weapon type should have their own page for skills, rather than the cluttered mess we currently have. And, of course, anyones free to make a different template, or edit mine. It's not very original, obviously. But I somewhat like the consistently. --[[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 23:58, 12 November 2007 (CST)
** I like the idea of each PA having its own page. ;) Something very similar to what you have would be nice, but I think we should make some adjustments to the table designs to accommodate PA-specific info. (That one tiny table just looks a little funny.) When I have enough time, I'll try to run some ideas through my head. If I come up with anything I like, I'll throw together an article for it. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:45, 14 November 2007 (CST)
* Seems good to me, although PP cost does increase at level 11 and 21 for all PAs, I think. Might be better to put that under Att./Acc. mods. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 03:23, 13 November 2007 (CST)

=== Suggestions ===
I've been thinking about various things to do around here lately, and I've realized there is much more than needs to be done than one person can do, or even remember at once. I propose that we add a new project page that describes in some detail (and prioritizes) various projects and edits that need to be completed. Or even just leaving it here would be fine, as long as we have a list of things for intrepid contributors to work on. So far, I've compiled the following list: 
→ With the 7Up Cup soon approaching, I would like to edit the [[1Up Platinum Cup]] page with more information, incorporating all the stuff conveniently listed [http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=47326 here]. Additionally, I'd like to get drop charts up for each mission (and EX mission, mostly), so people know what drops where. I'd like to have this done before the start of the event, though I myself do not have the time to do it all. 
→ With the changes in AoI (only the beginning of which we are starting to see from the JP version), the [[S-Rank Listing]] page's drop column is starting to look a little strained. For this and the sake of simplicity, I would like to eventually have drop charts for each and every mission, either incorporated into the mission page, or (preferably) on their own page. This would be a long term project, as it obviously would require quite a lot of effort from many individuals, but it is something that should be done at some point. While we're on the topic, I should note that only rare or otherwise noteworthy items would be mentioned in these charts. Things such as Moon X boards or rare ores (which drop anywhere) would be left out. 
→ As discussed recently on my user talk page, if at all possible, we would like find someone capable of programming a stat gathering and calculating tool to be hosted on the site. It would have to be separate from the wiki framework, unfortunately. 
→ Failing the above, it would behoove us to create several "information gathering" pages, in which users could display their stats for various race/type/level/etc. These could then be used to create summary articles with updated stat modifiers and the like for AoI. 
→ Similarly, we may want to create pages for gathering synthesis rate information, since these data will also be changing somewhat drastically with AoI. There is currently no resource that lists such information, so I reckon many would find it useful. 
→ Many weapon pages (but most importantly S-Ranks) still need to be either created or updated to the new format, and the vast majority lack pictures. I would like to encourage anyone who has the time and resource to help create new pages when able. Additionally, I would like to post a topic on the official forum (and possibly POSW) requesting pictures to be submitted for the articles. If anyone remembers Keg's picture request topic from the BB forum, something along those lines, except users could just upload the pictures here directly. 
→ Similar to the above topic, I would like to begin collecting images of the new AoI weapons, just to give viewers a taste for what is to come, or to show off new weapon manufacturers. 
→ I'd really like to get a new logo for the corner up there. The radish looks awesome and all, but it has nothing to do with PSU whatsoever, and frankly it seems silly.
→ I've more ideas, but I can't think of them at the moment. 
So, any and all comments on any part of these suggestions would be much appreciated. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 01:20, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** I was always under the impression it was supposed to be a vine leaf. >_> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 08:42, 12 October 2007 (BST)
*** You're probably right, but it looks rather silly regardless. Anyway, I threw together a few [http://psupedia.info/qwerty/wikilogos example logos] in my spare time. I'm not going to lie, these don't look very good (though better than the ones I made a while back), but it gives an idea of what we could potentially do. Personally, I'd prefer if we could just get some very simple (yet still PSU-oriented) picture with a transparent background, like the current one. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 04:40, 13 October 2007 (BST)
**** Yeah, something simple would be nice I guess. I'd say the first logo thingy is out right away for its aggressive colours (sorry to be blunt), but the Colony Square one doesn't look bad at all. As for the text, I like the black font better (more subtle than the blue one), but as for the contents I somehow always preferred omitting the 'the', whyever it was part of the site name in the first place. ~_~ - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:28, 14 October 2007 (BST)

----

* At one point I tried to make a 'to do' page, and subsequently Hitomi did (which still [[TODO|exists]] by the way), but they ended up being neglected mostly. As for stat modifiers, the easiest way to figure them out is probably using the available (Japanese) sites. I reckon those would be far more relevant than 'level xxx male human base stats', so from there on it should be easy mostly. If I could get some tips on how to go about implementing a stat gathering/calculation system I'd still totally do it by the way (since certain other sites might be closed down at any time). In any case, good initiative. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 12:00, 11 October 2007 (BST)
* I've kind of been holding off on creating new weapon articles (excluding ''Illuminus''-exclusives) since so much of the data on our current arsenal will be changed next month (or thereabouts). We could, of course, get a jump on things by gathering the changed stats and storing them on weapon talk pages until the change. Also, one thing I think should be added to the list is the redesign of the front page. I'll see if I can think of anything else, but for now, I've got to get back to work. D: - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:09, 11 October 2007 (BST)
* [http://mewn.psupedia.info/illuminus_images Weapon images here]. Obviously still a lot of weapons I haven't/can't get my hands on. Includes some old S-Ranks such as Skela and Muzzlefever because I wanted pics of them. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 19:53, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** Just wow. I'm amazed; quite some of these look simply stunning (Cubo Simba, Okarod, Vambrella, to name a few). Awesome job. :> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 23:58, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** Indeed. Anyway, I'm debating whether we should start adding those images for items, as I think it would be preferable to get an assortment of images from various characters, just for the sake of variety. As for weapon pages, I see no problem in going ahead and making them. The only major thing that will change with AoI is synth percents, and we don't know most of those anyway. But yes, those pics are indeed nice. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 01:37, 12 October 2007 (BST)
*** We might as well use them. I agree on the variety thing, but we can always add new pictures later. Once I get my new contutor (<_<), I'll ''finally'' be able to start contributing weapon pictures. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that we can just move some of these pictures to the gallery at the bottom of a page when we start getting new characters using the weapons. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:50, 14 October 2007 (BST)

===Category cleanup===
After creating and categorizing some random item articles, I realized how overgrown the categories section is. It needs to be spruced up something fierce. I mean, do we really need categories for each star rarity of each weapon, item or material? Personally, I think the categories should be shrunk down to a much more reasonable size by removing the filler, especially since most have barely been used. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:44, 11 August 2007 (BST)
* At the time I figured a complex hierarchical cross-category system might make up for one of the weaknesses of wikis over regular database systems: providing complex searching functionality. I got kind of frustrated, but eventually came to the conclusion wikis and database systems just have different strengths, that at this point seem to be very hard to combine into one. At the time I liked ideas like the templates that would automatically put items into 'Items containing <Ingredient>' categories or whatever it was, though it seems to be gone now. Eventually I gave up and decided I felt like pages dedicated to a single item would be best left to db systems that could just automatically generate them, but didn't want to force my opinion onto others, and stopped trying to work on developing item database templates (the ones I did make were a terrible mess, and mostly aimed to imitate real databases by converting all raw data into tables and automatically adding any derived values, such as PM feeding bonuses). Now, I feel that way even more strongly, because the times have changed -- PSOW is doing a way better on job on its item database as it used to. Kef finally started helping them out too, and although I'm not quite seeing them adding unicode or multi-lingual support yet, and even though I strongly oppose sorting items that largely fit logical patterns by alphabetic order (currently taken into account for the most part, although for [http://www.pso-world.com/items/psu/1/weapons/ weapons] 'Brand' has yet to be made the tertiary sorting method after weapon types and star rarity), they're doing just about anything else. That's just me though -- I wouldn't have a clue anymore how much people actually use the in-depth item articles over here. Depending on that, yeah, the huge category overload might be obsolete. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 11:21, 11 October 2007 (BST)

Gonna make it quick. A lot of people have been making user pages for themselves, and not contributing at all to the site. It gets annoying having to sort through all the recent edits when theres a bunch of user page edits in. This isn't directed at anyone really, but I doubt anyone who does it even checks RFB or recent edits. It's really not that big a deal, moreso a personal irk, but eh, I thought it can't hurt to bring it up -- [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 03:05, 6 August 2007 (BST)

=== Wait a damn minute, here! ===
Over the past half year I've taken to working on the article for [[Machineguns]] and the indivdual weapons themselves since they're mostly neglected by other editors here at PSUPedia. At times, I feel like I'm the only one adding and editing to it. Notcing a nicer version of the weapons stats tables in other articles, I blended its style with the information I added to the Machineguns article.

I was told someone had reverted the work I had put into the article recently and found a rather abrasive comment by Beatrixkiddo, who had mostly undid my work. Pardon me, but I have ''not'' seen a Manual of Style on this website nor ''any'' notice here at Raffon about a discussion of such. I looked through here and did a few searches of the site; hell, I even looked at the discussion page for [[Weapons]]. ''Nothing.'' I told him to show me just where his less-detailed version of the table is the official standard and I would concede; Qwerty re-reverted the article with a link to an obscure Sandbox page.

He clams that page contains "the new standard" and that most of my information "was deemed unnecessary," but I can't discern ''any'' sort of concensus or decree in that sandbox page's discussion to say whether or not a standard was authorized! I see a few comments on what design people like best, some suggestions, but that's it.

While I'm annoyed with Beatrix's attitude towards my efforts, I'm not fuming over having my work "stepped on." I fully realize that this is an open encyclopedia and anything added is open to editing. What I'm irritated with is the lack of clarity and visibility pertaining to something that's, apparently, a standard. A standard in which much of the information I had been adding was "unnecessary" and open to removal with accompanying snide remarks. If "standards are there for a reason" I damn well think there should be clearly marked information about it. Even Wikipedia does that!

Somebody's probably going to say that it's my responsibility to inspect the Recent Changes and that I would have seen the discussion in progress, but I don't prowl the Recent Changes (much less this site) from day to day to know when discussions about style are taking place, much less in poorly marked sandboxes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one! [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 20:33, 28 July 2007 (BST)

* lolk. What attitude? I said in my comment I hated to step on your feet, but that there was a standard. Obviously you noticed there was a new weapons page style in place (since you used it for the machinegun page). All other pages that I (and others such as Miraglyth) have converted to the new style lack the JP Name, Buy Price, Sell Price, etc, which I removed from your edit. I did not "completely remove" your work. I removed the things you kept that the new standard does not use. I don't "prowl" the Recent Changes either, but all it would have taken on your part was a quick comment on my talk page "Why did you modify my edit?", not a revert of my edit. If you'd like to discuss things civilly, [[User_talk:Beatrixkiddo|the sky's the limit]]. As for Qwerty's revert of your revert; he's a SysOp, and has every right to do so. His comment was not "an obscure sandbox", it was the place of discussion where this new standard was discussed for quite some time. Due to a lack of responses other than me, Mewn, Qwerty, and I think Tycho, Miraglyth decided to forge ahead with his choice for the standard. Feel free to contact me if you have anything else you'd like to ask about. --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|Beatrixkiddo]] 02:40, 29 July 2007 (BST)

* Hello, Mr. Gattaca. I believe I played with you a few nights ago. At any rate, you are correct in stating that the discussion on the spear sandbox page was far from conclusive, and although it was not noted anywhere (now noted above), the table format currently in use on [[Spears]] and the like was the one that has been chosen, and it is slowly but steadily being implemented. Do not think that we do not value your contributions, as that is certainly not true. However, you must accept that article standards will be changed, and some of your contributions may be altered. Thus is the nature of the beast. It would be great if we could have announcements and such for whenever a standard or template has changed, but the core contributing group of this wiki is but a few individuals, all of whom have other obligations and cannot afford to pour in the time needed to note every template/standard change meticulously. Hell, we can't even find time to change all the weapon type pages to the new template, much less the time needed to make a consistent "Manual of Style". So please, bear with us. If things seem really disorganized and confusing, they probably are. Now, regarding Beatrixkiddo's comment, I do not think he was rude, and I know that he certainly was not intending to seem rude. If you wish to discuss this further, just go ahead and leave me a note on my talk page or something. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 05:46, 30 July 2007 (BST)
**I'm unsure if the two of you are even aware of this statement in my original comment, since you've both seen fit to lecture me about the nature of PSUPedia's open editability/Querty's rights as a sysop, but ''I'm not fuming over having my work "stepped on." I fully realize that this is an open encyclopedia and anything added is open to editing.'' All editing pages have a warning about this! Again, it was the whole lack of clear standards and Beatrixkiddo's attitude concerning them ("standards are there for a reason" when standards aren't actually ''there''--not to mention his "lolk" attitude here) that has me fuming. I suppose Beatrixkiddo's providing a link here to the specific table in question on that sandbox is a step forward in the right direction, but I suggest a more permanent solution. It should be possible to create more "The PSUPedia" articles; having a sidebar link pointing to a Manual of Style page with subpages concerning different preferred layouts/tables/terminology would make this much more accessible to everyone. On that note; yes, Beatrixkiddo, the Spears sandbox ''was'' obscure and would continue to be had you not linked it here--as far as I can tell your link to it here at Raffon is the only place to find it on this site save Querty's link in the [[Machineguns]] edit history. For starters, it's a ''subpage'' of the main sandbox, and the whole discussion about standards took place there as well. The discussion didn't happen in a more visible area such as, say, the [[Weapons]] discussion page, nor was there any notice/announcement that I can see so that people could voice their opinions about what they personally find useful. Just keep in mind; this kind of thing will matter every time SEGA introduces an expansion that has a new subset of weapons. If this kind of thing wasn't brought to light, people like me who aren't "in" on secluded agreements to use a standard will have this problem when they go to make articles on [[Whips]], [[Madoogs]] and [[Shadoogs]]. [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 04:30, 31 July 2007 (BST)
*** If you have the time to develop a Manual of Style, then be my guest. Unfortunately, I don't have time, and neither do the other regular contributors, who number around five by my count, by the way. Everything you say is true (except the comment on Beatrixkiddo being rude, trust me, he had no intention of seeming snarky). Unfortunately, we're all too busy to deal with it right now. Can you at least appreciate that fact? You just have to appreciate that if any of the regular contributors changes something and references some new standard, we do know what we are talking about, even if it isn't clear immediately. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 04:53, 31 July 2007 (BST)
**** I'm starting on a [[Manual of Style]] right now. I'm at work right now, however, so I probably won't be able to get much done with it until later. But, let's all try to make this a priority of ours. We need to officially document a uniform style and put it into use. I've seen way too many people elsewhere say that they don't like how unprofessional and sloppy certain articles look here due to a lack of uniformity. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 15:34, 31 July 2007 (BST)
**** I agree it should be a priority, I'm not exactly sure what to put in a Manual of Style though, but yeah, the site does need to be consistent. Oh, and Gattaca, you say you're 'fuming' - well, I suggest you calm down a bit. Beatrixkiddo has proven his worth as a contributor, as have you, and he was not attempting to be rude to you. Hot-headedness will only create problems here, so I'd like to see a little less of it on all sides, thanks. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 16:10, 31 July 2007 (BST)
***** Believe me, Querty; if I knew how to add special "Wiki:" pages (not to mention adding them to the sidebar), I'd volunteer to take care of it myself. However, I think at least part of that is only doable by admins. EpisoKaos is already starting a Manual of Style page, so I will help get the ball rolling there. And Mewn--much of the querulousness I have concerning Beatrixkiddo and the "hidden standard" that resulted in the removal of much of my work stems from his attitude compounded with the wasted time invested in developing the article as I did. I actually spent a few hours clumsily trying to understand the new table format and then modifying it to accept what information already existed in the Machineguns article. I understand that pretty much all of you agree he wasn't rude, though my perspective differs. Perhaps it's just my experience with people on the internet who will use smilies/tongue emotes or some form of "friendly" or "inoffensive" chaff to cover snide/abrasive behavior (PVP Online [http://www.pvponline.com/article/1752/Thu-Sep-18?y= has observed this]) that I've come to expect it. Beatrixkiddo's "lolk" attitude only reinforced my opinion. When it comes to anger over wasted time, it's in some ways similar to the animosity people feel on Wikipedia when they toil over an article, striving to make it informative, well written, and adequately sourced ... only to see the article deleted by others. It can be quite discouraging, you know? At any rate, I don't want to have this problem again, and I'd rather not see it happen to others. I've already added a preliminary guide on the Manual of Style concerning the weapons table format with some pointers of how it works and what to do. I based the "example and code" table on Wikipedia's own manual of style pages, modified for PSUPedia's preferred table appearance. [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 18:55, 31 July 2007 (BST)

=== Offline info\Enemy Info ===
Is it really that neccesary to have info on offline weapons/enemies/whatever? Maybe it's just me, but some of the pages look really, really, well, bad with all that crap. And I think it's safe to assume that most, if not all, people use PSUPedia for online info.

Totally unrelated, but I also think the pages for enemies should be reworked so all of them follow the same layout. Show level per mission, exp, HP. If someone can make a layout, I'd gladly add in all the info. Eventually add in drops too, perhaps.
Examples:
http://psupedia.info/Gol_Dolva
http://psupedia.info/Badira
http://psupedia.info/Goshin
They're all pretty different, and some are missing info. [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 22:24, 2 July 2007 (BST)

=== Question on Style ===
I was discussing with someone about some edits to a certain article. I was told that my edits required dumbing down because my use of speech was far too elaborate. It kind of caught me off guard, but it now strikes me as a more sweeping issue then something limited to a singular article. So, I am going to pose the question here. Is my use of speech far too elaborate to be used in these articles of PSUpedia? Or shall I try to stick to a more simplistic array of words? It is not like I am intentionally trying to pull fancy words out of my rear, I just normally write like this, I blame my father. In either case, I'm going to leave the question of style here, how elaborate is too elaborate? --[[User:Ccelizic|Ccelizic]] 20:05, 13 June 2007 (BST)
* I have a somewhat similarly elaborate style of writing too, which is natural for me. I'd say it doesn't really matter, so long as you are getting the message across. People don't necessarily have to write like you to understand what you write, so I see no need to dumb down. I'd just make a general point, not aimed at anyone in particular, to avoid obvious things such as slang, internet terms or phrases (even popular ones), irrelevant and/or esoteric jargon, and words which will likely confuse people or send them scuttering to dictionary.com. I suppose also it's worth noting that this is supposed to be a resource for any and all players (even Japanese ones, if we ever trump their sites), and obviously not everyone has such a good grasp of English as native speakers do. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 02:32, 14 June 2007 (BST)
* What Mewn said. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 03:30, 14 June 2007 (BST)
*It would also be a good point that not everyone that uses this site is on the same education level. Gamers of all ages use this site so some reservation on using large words need to be taken. Remember a twenty-seven year old English major can write using words that a twelve year old middle school student wouldn't even know where to begin translating into understandable, useful language. Don’t consider this to be dumbing down as much as it is making anything you write understandable to a wide audience. [[User:Lillostxsoul|LillostXSoul]] 04:47, July 23, 2007 (CST)

=== Project:Copyrights ===
Look at that block of text below your editor window. It goes on saying how this is released under the GNU Free Documentation Liscense 1.2. And then, as you can see it directs the user to look at [[Project:Copyrights]] for more information. Now, that link spits over to something nonexisitant. Is that intentional? Do we need someone to get that legal information in there? Did ninja kidnap it? Or is that some link that needs to be removed from the editor page? Maybe I'm obssessing over something asinine, but it seemed to strike me as something worth bringing up. --[[User:Ccelizic|Ccelizic]] 06:39, 13 June 2007 (BST)
* It's something the wiki system kinda automatically generates whether or not people are going to use it, IIRC. Looks like Hitomi is the last one that changed it, and a quick search for 'tsukimono' reveals that it probably isn't going to be editable from the wiki itself. I'd get to the file and change it, but then again, I just never bothered to find out what file/directory it's in anyway. >_> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:35, 11 October 2007 (BST)

To those who edit/add to this site, can I ask you to PLEASE use the preview button? It's not that far away from the submit button. It lowers the ammount of posts listed in the Recent Changes page. It just gets in the way and makes it harder to keep track of what's been updated. Thank you for reading this.[[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 08:17, 30 March 2007 (BST)
* Not to mock you, but while this is a talk page, the "Raffon Field Base" project means to leave comments in the article itself! - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 17:37, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** Oops ^_^'' My appologies. Wasn't totaly sure where I was supposed to place this.[[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 18:27, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** I'll take the liberty of moving it. For the record: I agree with you, 2 or maybe even 3 edits to correct mistakes made is acceptable... but when you start seeing six or more consecutive edits on the same article, it starts to seem like a piss-take. I would urge people to use the Preview function, and better yet, to check and double check what they have put. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 20:07, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** Even failing that, the least people could do would be to use the "Summary" box to detail the cause of so many edits. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 04:05, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** Well, people don't seem to have taken much notice of this, and the same sections of articles are repeatedly being edited over a small period of time by the same person. Is there anything anyone can think of to stop this, without being ridiculously harsh? [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 21:14, 1 April 2007 (BST)
** Is it possible to put a timer on how quickly a single account can edit one page? If you could put this on then people would be forced to either use the preview effectively or wait an incredibly long time to complete a page, I'm not sure on the limitations of this Wiki, so it's just an idea. [[User:Wormania|Wormania]] 23:55, 1 April 2007 (BST)

=== Planet Maps ===
Can someone get/compile a map of the planets, with locations? The small cut of the maps on the mission screen, is not really helpful for an overview. - The preceeding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Mixilli|Mixilli]].
* Before I lost the net I was working on some maps. I made only 1 map so far, Linear Line "A" path(I call it A, not the A from Rare Monster's Page). Maybe I sould do that again. It was a challange, but fun. [[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 04:58, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** I thought Mixilli meant the planets themselves, with "the mission screen" being referred to as the overhead "map" screen you get when at the mission counters. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 05:12, 31 March 2007 (BST)
*** Huh. beats me really. hough I wouldn't mind maping as much of he game as I can and is needed of me. Maybe I could do "box" locaions better then my original map. [[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 07:33, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** I've been maintaining a map of all the missions for each planet, just for my own use. It shows how they link up, and what level enemies there are. I could make an image of these if that would be helpful. [[User:Pob|Pob]] 11:08, 4 April 2007 (BST)
* Quite late, but here you are; [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/Tycho01/PSU/parum_map.jpg Parum], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/Tycho01/PSU/neudaiz_map.jpg Neudaiz], [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/Tycho01/PSU/moatoob_map.jpg Moatoob]; stolen straight from PSU-Wiki's image board (originals [http://www.psu-wiki.info/upbbs/lib/printimage.php?id=00002777.jpeg]~9.jpeg; ugly filled-up versions I can't seem to get to Photobucket [http://www.psu-wiki.info/upbbs/lib/printimage.php?id=00002785.jpeg]~7.jpeg).

=== Rappy Paska ===
* Isn't easter rappies called Rappy Baska not Rappy Paska? i changed it to baska but sum1 changed it to Paska. - The preceeding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]].
** In-game they are called Rappy Paska. Yes, this does mean that the English website preview is wrong. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 03:09, 25 March 2007 (BST)
*** Most likely a mistranslation on SoA's part. Rappy Paska in katakana is ラッピー･パスカ (''Rappii Pasuka'') whereas Baska would be バスカ. Kinda easy to mistranslate the first kana due to the similar symbols. Paska is correct, however, as it probably refers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paska_%28bread%29 Paska bread]. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 12:27, 25 March 2007 (BST)
**** Interesting, I always figured it was a bastardization of the word "paschal," but I guess the bread makes sense too. SoA was probably thinking Baska as in Easter Basket. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 17:30, 25 March 2007 (BST)
***** Could be. I guess they were trying to americanize it? but yea easter basket= Baska.--[[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]] 19:56, 25 March 2007 (BST)
****** lol, multi-lingualism. Actually I think the chance SoJ knows about Ukranian easter bread is pretty slim. Check [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Easter this]; half of the article names in other languages it refers to are similar to this. Really, the English term is the odd one out. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 18:01, 27 March 2007 (BST)
*******it really is an odd one. it is basically the only one that does not sound like the hebrew wording. i guess we hav to be unique :)--[[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]] 21:42, 27 March 2007 (BST)
****** Heh, I didn't notice that, Tych. Admittedly, I only know Easter in three languages (English, French - Pâques, and German - Ostern) and thought the whole Paska thing too much the same to be mere coincidence. A shame if it was just a reference to Pascha or whatever, at least a reference to Ukranian bread would be far more interesting than just 'hay guyz we bastardized Easter in a foreign language lol'. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 01:19, 28 March 2007 (BST)

===New item container===
[[Image:newitembox.jpg|thumb|200px|right|New Item Box]]

* I found this on easter peril i have some pics of it. the wierd part was its on the ceiling. i dont know if it has any better droprate than normal. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 16:11, 14 April 2007 (CST)
** Not sure if they have any particular higher droprate. I've heard they can drop Something Sweet but I don't really know, maybe someone else here knows more than me. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 23:25, 14 April 2007 (BST)
*** That has been known about since the day Eastern Peril came out. They just seem to have a slightly different drop list than the other containers, often dropping Something Sweet, buff items, and Scape Dolls. They also drop assorted berries. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 03:43, 15 April 2007 (BST)
* Yeah, unfortunately, different kinds of containers do have different drops, but the PSU guide book thing never elaborated on this much. D: - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:24, 11 October 2007 (BST)

===Main page linking===
I understand the use of the search box, but i do feel that the site could use some bettermain page linking to other pages. For example AoI is in hot discussion right now, but there is no way to get there unless you do a search or go to categories. Im not trying to put this job off on anyone else, but im not very good with wiki editing and parts or the main page are restricted to normal users. Tell me what you think. And on a side note, what happened to the pick of the day idea, or even pick of the week, that would be cool. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 21:41, 17 April 2007 (CST)
* I think I was the only person who's really been pushing for additions of this nature - for example, I've done a small amount of fiddling with [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Test_Navigation|a possible new Navigation section]]. The trouble IMO is that almost nobody else seems to care. For similar reasons our Photon Fortune situation is awful, our Rare Monsters tables are still inconsistent and ugleh despite [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Rare_Spawn_Mockup|work to]] [[User:Qwerty/Sandbox|improve it]] and the "new logos" work has amounted to nothing. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 18:56, 18 April 2007 (BST)
** I see the work you do around here, and I for one really apreciate it. I not entirely wiki knowlegable, in fact this is the first one ive worked on, but an online game of this nature can not have its guides created by a single person. It is way to massive, and there is way to much data to be compiled to rest on the shoulders of one. Im trying my best here and if there is anything you want help with im game. The PSU community needs to help each other out. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 15:38, 18 April 2007 (CST)
** I really do like [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Rare_Spawn_Mockup|your work]] on Rare Monsters tables better than the current one. What refrain you from adding it? (Beside the hard work). Also, that would be better with links to monsters pages. The really good thing with yours is that everything fit on the screen. Anyway if you need help adding this design, please ask. [[User:Essen|Essen]] 15:54, 25 April 2007 (BST)
*** It's that nobody else in the discussion pages for Qwerty or myself have lent any support or criticism. There's no point mass-implementing something of this scale only to have people '''then''' turn around and say "Oh no let's go back to the old one." so I'm stuck doing nothing until people - regulars and sysops - actually say something ¬_¬ - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:48, 25 April 2007 (BST)
*** I believe I [[User Talk:Miraglyth/Sandbox|lent my support for it]]... [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 09:04, 26 April 2007 (BST)
* I agree that we need a better sort of "site-map" or directory of some sort, or at least we need to reorganize which links are in the main menu, because otherwise entire articles can get overlooked (sort of like the two I worked out today, there's no real good place from which to link them in the current setup). While I am not terribly familiar with the functioning of categories, templates, or table coding, I can try to work on something now that schoolwork is finally letting up. I'd also like to see us reorganize the [[Rare Monsters]] page to make it fit with the template Miraglyth has worked out. These are all things I've wanted to do for a while, but thus far I've been too preoccupied with shoolwork and pestering Mira on the forums to work them out. Hopefully we can make some headway on this stuff in the coming weeks. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]]
** Just another comment: I think expandable/collapsible menus might help a lot with organizing things, either in the sidebar or on the main page. However, it seems that can only be done with javascript, and I sure as hell don't know any java, nor do I even know if it would work in the wiki context. Either way, it's something to consider. I may also try to draw up a rough sitemap later tonight if I have time. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 19:10, 9 May 2007 (BST)
*** Me yet again. I found some [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree wiki extension] that allows for the creation of collapsible menus and such. I'm assuming Tycho or HitmonCHAN would have to install this then, yes? It does seem like something that would be very helpful for organizing menus in a compact fashion, allowing the linking to many articles from the main page. Thoughts? --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 22:06, 9 May 2007 (BST)
*** That extension sounds good, but Tych currently doesn't have FTP access and I don't expect Hitomi to bother with this site, as he works on PSUTopia now. Once it is installed I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 14:36, 10 May 2007 (BST)
*** [[Special:Version|Here]] you go. One CategoryTree extension, yo. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 18:30, 10 May 2007 (BST)
**** Doesn't look like this is necessarily what is needed as it is an automated tree generator. The only way this will work is with a lot of clean up of associated categories. At that point it would work (possibly quite nicely), but everyone would need to be very vigilant about keeping their entries properly maintained or they would never make it into the tree. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 15:45, 2 August 2007 (BST)
**** BTW, was AJAX enabled ($wgUseAjax = true;)? Clicking the + doesn't do anything other than say "loading" -- In any case, a lot of work will be needed to make this work in a useful manner, given that there would be multiple paths all leading back to the same thing. Weapons has Rifles underneath it along with Two Handed Weapons -> Rifles and Ranged Weapons -> Rifles. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 16:04, 2 August 2007 (BST)
**** I guess this is no longer being looked at. I have to guess that AJAX wasn't enabled based on the things I'm seeing when using the CategoryTree extension. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 16:48, 15 August 2007 (BST)
*****This would be very useful, especially if we're planning on cleaning up the categories anyway. So, who might be able to enable AJAX to get these working proper? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:54, 15 August 2007 (BST)
****** Tycho and Hitomichan are the only ones who can do it. Tycho is allegedly in Mexico, and Hitmonchan...yeah. Uh, anyway, I'm actually now thinking list pages might be better than this, simply because they would be easier to implement. And no, we haven't forgotten about this, we're simply too busy with other things at the moment. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 19:10, 15 August 2007 (BST)
****** Monthly checkin on the AJAX question :) Category cleanup + CategoryTree might be a good thing... Is anyone back from the wild? --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 14:34, 21 September 2007 (BST)
******* I'd suggest leaving a note for Tycho on his user page, since he and Hitmonchan are the only ones with FTP access. I personally have no idea how to fix that stuff. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 05:02, 22 September 2007 (BST)
******** Some others - self included - do, but I don't think it's to the level of being able to add stuff like that. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 21:04, 10 October 2007 (BST)
********* Yet I don't? DDDD: --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 21:08, 10 October 2007 (BST)
* Not going to count asterisks, but in any case, your interface proposals are awesome, Mira. I tried giving the Main Page a bit of an overhaul (at least swapping navigation and the introduction around), but whenever I did the code just seemed to mess up big. As for Ajax, I just checked the FTP, and actually it was included at the same time as the CategoreeTree extension, so I have no clue what went wrong. Currently, the part in question is as follows (omitting breaklines and surrounded by quotes): "require_once("$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" ); $wgUseAjax = true; require_once('extensions/CategoryTree/CategoryTree.php' ); $wgCategoryTreeOmitNamespace = true;". The two wiki extensions it seems to have installed [http://psupedia.info/Special:Version properly], and the Ajax line was just a c-p as well, so then I have no clue what went wrong, unless they were supposed to be in completely different places in the files. In any case, I'll apologize for the delay -- I actually wasn't aware of this issue until now either. Anyway, looks like the new staff is going to need the FTP details as well. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 11:39, 11 October 2007 (BST)

===monsters have 2 pages each===
*There is a double page for monster data one at http://www.psupedia.info/index.php?title=Monsters and one at http://psupedia.info/index.php?title=Category:Monsters. These links should for each monster should all link tothe same monster page. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 16:04, 17 April 2007 (CST)
* [[:Category:Monsters]] is an auto-generated page created by placing individual articles into the Monster category, hence it just serves as a listing of all the monster articles in the game. The purpose for this is different than the standard Monsters page, which to me would seem rather data-heavy when I just wanted to look through the Monsters category. In addition, there are further subcategories (Colony Monsters, S-Rank Monsters, Rare Monsters etc.) that would be pointless if the Category was made to redirect to the [[Monsters]] article. I don't like the idea of making them the same article anyway - the whole purpose of the Category: articles is merely to provide perhaps a bit of text and a listing of the articles within that category and little else. My $0.02. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 23:10, 18 April 2007 (BST)

===Fourth-Stage Alternate PMs===
I've started work on a table for the specifics of the alternate battle-capable PM models. It's in the [[Sandbox]] at the moment; I figured I should make it easy for other people to contribute as well.
*Once I got my main character's PM to lvl 80 (410), I took 'her' into a couple of free missions, and did fairly well. A few days later, I bought the 411 upgrade on a whim (an expensive, 50k whim but oh well ^_^; ).
*Turns out, I much prefer the 411 to the 410. My main's FT, and I Strike-leveled his PM with the intent of using 'her' as a defensive wall. The 411's sword PA is Tornado Break (level 21+, with all three hits!), which is much better for my purposes than the 410's Spinning Break.
*I'm bringing this up here because I think players should have the detailed information about the alternate PM models WITHOUT having to blow the 50k and test one out themselves. I lucked out and got exactly what I wanted, but I could have gone with the 412 and ended up very dissatisfied AND out 50,000 precious meseta (for the character's level, he perpetually broke!).
Anyway, on with life. Players in the know, please help your fellows who aren't, and assist me in completing this table? Thanks. [[User:Trooper1023|Trooper1023]] 05:41, 25 July 2007 (BST)
**Well, the table has been moved to [[Partner_Machinery#Alternate_PM_Details|Alternate PM Details]], and officially adopted by PSUPedia! Thanks to everyone who helped! This little article can be archived now. [[User:Trooper1023|Trooper1023]] 16:30, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

=== Luck Table/Log Error ===
I usually check this table to see which of my characters have luck on a daily basis. Today there seems to be something wrong with the code. I have no idea how to even try to fix it. Maybe someone does? It was fine yesterday but when I went to check it today it was all messed up. --[[User:Renderingdragon|Renderingdragon]] 22:42, 10 August 2007 (BST)

=== Format comparison ===
I've been thinking of compiling a page on comparing each copy of psu. A page for users unsure of which version suits them, where they can see what effects them and makes life easier. For instance; PS2 version being poor, but better than nothing or 360 having a larger community and so on.

Was thinking of starting the page here; http://psupedia.info/index.php?title=Format_Comparison&action=edit

I'll need help with information of what version has what pros and cons. Also, a style guide if possible, as i've been away from here in some time. - [[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]]
* Remember to sign your comments. ;) I can see the use of an article detailing these things, but if it's created, it must remain objective. No favoritism or bias toward a particular platform can be displayed in the writing, for example. See the [[The PSUPedia:Manual of style|manual of style]] for formatting pointers and the like. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:48, 27 November 2007 (CST)
* If we do this, we have to proceed with extreme caution. This unfortunately neuters part of the article, since we really cannot make generalizations on the communities. I'm not actually sure it's necessary, but if done properly, it can't hurt. I will be watching the article intently though, and if at any point it appears it will be used to further platform elitism it will be deleted, whether that comes from the initial writing or by vandalism/further edits from other people. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 12:12, 27 November 2007 (CST)
** Was totally going to have it unbiased, however, how would you go about mentioning slowdown and other problems? As for community, I'd really only be going as far as listing the average server star ratings for PC/PS2 and 360. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:39, 28 November 2007 (CST)
*** Unbiased as in avoiding jabs at particular platforms that would promote favoritism. Of course, I don't think you have any intent of writing anything like that, but as Mewn said, we'll have to keep a close eye on the article as I imagine it would eventually fall victim to vandalism by someone wishing to stir up platform elitism and such. ;) We'll of course want to state the facts in the article, both the good and the bad, as long as it's not done in a way that shows obvious bias by a contributor toward a particular platform. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:11, 28 November 2007 (CST)
I've written the first version of the article, please go through and correct any biased information. Also, my table absolutly sucks. [[Platform_Comparison]] --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 06:21, 29 November 2007 (CST)

=== Site overhaul ===
Correct me if I'm out of line. But I think the site is getting ready for an overhaul. May aswell, it's a new version of the game. Here's some things / projects I have in mind to improve the place;
* Mission center - A hub page for missions; Online, Offline, Story mode, Extra mode & ETC.
** Mission strategies - Not for online free missions, because they are a sinch. Moreover for Network Story Missions, which seem to annoy people to no end. These pages could include mission data, points and rewards. I don't see a point in having 2 pages for one mission. That would be giving the users an extra step (Or more finding the page).
* Main Page / Navigation - Self explanitory, the navigation is out of date and needs links to AoI related changes, story missions, monster pokedex and ETC.
** Main Page / Picture of the day/week - Wasn't this going to be implimented at some point? I don't see why it shouldn't be done, it will keep people coming back to see new images. This could even allow for image contests, improving site hits.
* Guides section - There's a category for guides, this MAY overlap with strategies within the mission center idea, but all it would need in that case would be links to each story mission. Aside from that, guides could range from; PM builds, Synth guides, Strategies for fast leveling and so forth.

Comments? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 04:03, 4 December 2007 (CST)

* I'll go through the points one-by-one:
** Mission center - we could use one, certainly, all we have right now are temporary pages. We could use pages for lobbies as well, though they might be a bit sparse.
** Mission strategies - agree, but I feel they should be links to another article (specifically marked as a guide) or an external link to another site.
** Main Page Navigation - yes, this does need an overhaul, and that's been the general consensus for some time. No-one has really designed anything satisfactory though. Design isn't my forte, so if you have any ideas I'll leave it to you.
** PotD/W - I think it's unnecessary, it's frivolous and nowhere near being objective information. If it gets support it can be done, but I'm just going to flat-out state that I will not be involved with it, since I have more important things to do on the site.
** Guides - I wouldn't be opposed to having more guides as I did make special provision for them, but they have to be written, we can't just pull these things out of our asses (or from other sites). See above comment about more important things. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 10:38, 4 December 2007 (CST)
* My thoughts:
** I'd like to come up with a more effective way of displaying all of the game's missions on one index page to have linked out to the individual articles. Ultimately, this would replace our current mission page.
** Strategies could be put in pages such as ''Illuminus Ambition 2 (guide)'' and similarly indexed in the guides section.
** I've been trying to think of a new main page navigation system, but can't seem to come up with something I like. One idea I had completely replaces the sidebar with our navigation links. Of course, all of our categories would have to be thinned down from what we have now. Wouldn't be a problem, as far as I see it. (It could use it, to be honest.)
** Picture of the day/week. Like Mewn said, it'd be an unnecessary addition. I'd only see it as something else for us to try to keep up with updating, taking away from valuable time we could put to use for more important features.
** Guides and strategies would do well lumped together. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:30, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Another main page idea I had was;
* New missions & Locations - The recent hill of spores set has been a bitch for common players to find, why not have something like this on the main page?--[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:14, 15 December 2007 (CST)
** The details on things like where to find new missions used to go in the [[Updates]] page, but then I fell behind on that and the slack never got picked up. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 01:22, 15 December 2007 (CST)
*** I picked up where you left off; only, I haven't been making the tables like you used to that show where to go to get to each mission. (The only thing I haven't added is yesterday's update, which I'm going to get to soon.) Of course, now with individual mission articles linked to in the updates, these tell you exactly where to go. But, I suppose for the sake of the lazy people who don't want to click an extra link, I can use the table format in my next update. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:43, 15 December 2007 (CST)
**** Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like nobody had updated the page because that's clearly not the case :P - I'd just meant that the quick-find "Where to go" wasn't being done anymore. But like you say, it shouldn't be much of an issue, especially once navigation with missions becomes simpler. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 15:46, 15 December 2007 (CST)
***** It's no problem. :) Actually, this brings up something that you've mentioned many times before: an overhaul of the updates section. It's gotten huge (like Xbox). I'd like to go back over each update and redo everything to pretty things up some. I was thinking we could either make a page for each content update (Update_002, Update_034, etc.) or sort them out by months. Of course, we'd still keep everything cataloged on one page; perhaps sorted by months there. Ah, just some ideas to toss about for a later project. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:15, 15 December 2007 (CST)
****** That's a decent idea, provided it had a navigation table template to go with it. Maybe a "to be released" list or a list of japanese updates also? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 02:28, 16 December 2007 (CST)
******* JP updates would require much digging through their official site's now-messy log of updates, maintenances, events and notices. That said, a long-overdue re-standardisation of our updates page would be much desired. As for splitting the article... by month would be my preferred of the suggestion because per update results in many small articles. Perhaps take it a step further and split them by quarter? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:37, 22 December 2007 (CST)
* With a new sidebar navigation list in place, would it be out of place to have more social data on the front page? Like new missions OR most populated lobbies? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 21:43, 25 December 2007 (CST)
** I like the idea. I think it'd be nice to have a little more detailed info directly on the front page stating what new missions have just been released or what special events are going on or will be happening in the near future.

* Might as well post a few suggestions here for the sake of putting them into this discussion. Here are some [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox/Main_page|front page]] and [[Site_map_(temp)|navigation]] ideas I came up with and here's a new [[User:Propagandist/Sandbox|front page]] layout by Propagandist. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:00, 26 December 2007 (CST)

=== Backpacker girl??! ===
[[Image:0012_female_student.jpg|thumb|Backpacker girl is lost.]]* So, when we gonna get backpacker girl back on the main page? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 20:41, 22 December 2007 (CST)

=== Spoiler hide / unhide plugin ===
Are there any MediaWiki plugins for hiding and unhiding information with a button or switch? This would be useful for character and story related pages. This way we could have spoilers and they could only be revealed if the reader wanted it spoiled or if they already knew what happened. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 21:43, 25 December 2007 (CST)
* The one time I've needed to hide a spoiler (which wasn't really, but doesn't hurt to play it safe with this many whiners about) I've used <nowiki></nowiki> to hide the relevant text. It wouldn't be a plugin or clickable element, but if there was any significant need for regular spoiler hiding, a simple quick solution would be to use <nowiki>{{Spoiler}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{EndSpoiler}}</nowiki> templates to repeat the above, the latter of course being <nowiki></nowiki>. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:29, 26 December 2007 (CST)

=== Video embeds ===
Wow, this is coming off as IDEA after IDEA. But Video could be pretty useful, especially on pages such as; Individual Photon Arts pages, Rare monster sightings, Guides and other pages with demonstrations. All you'd need is to allow for the embed tag for video or whatever. Anyway, thought I'd throw the idea out there. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 22:25, 28 December 2007 (CST)

=== Old template pages ===
I know this is probably asking for a lot, and I really shouldn't be so picky with it. But would somebody be able to compile a list of enemy, weapon, whatever pages that haven't been changed to the new standard template? I'd like to fix those, but really don't know where to start. - [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 12:35, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* After I made a similar list for the mission articles, I was considering doing the same for weapons, enemies, etc. It will take a boat load of time to do, but it's still possible. I'd suggest in the meantime to not worry about enemies, as I still need to make a few tweaks (in the way of a new infobox like what we're using for the mission articles) to the standard before mass-implementation. As for weapons, for now just select a weapon category from the list and work your way down (or up) checking each link to see if it's been converted over. Actually, I think that might be better than compiling a list since there would probably end up being hundreds of entries on that list. So, I guess enemies would be the major workload for something like this. Anyway, I'll see what I can do when I've got a chance. I'm at work right now, but will have to go shortly as I've got a project coming in very soon that I'll have to get started on. And thanks for your help! We really appreciate it! :D - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 12:47, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* [[Enemy list]]! Didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. I still need to work out a few things with the infobox we'll use, so let's hold off on these articles for the time being. ;) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:16, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* Oh Christ, I did my own one. [[Enemy Article List]]. Still I forgot about Espio's new infobox, so his one is the correct one. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 13:48, 12 November 2007 (CST)
* While on the topic, the PA pages have been long neglected, and I know we shouldn't be trying to put too much on the table at once, but I made(Or stole) a possible template that I think is much easier to read for each PA [http://psupedia.info/User:Saiffy/Sandbox here]. Now, I don't think each PA having their own page is really neccesary, but I think maybe each weapon type should have their own page for skills, rather than the cluttered mess we currently have. And, of course, anyones free to make a different template, or edit mine. It's not very original, obviously. But I somewhat like the consistently. --[[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 23:58, 12 November 2007 (CST)
** I like the idea of each PA having its own page. ;) Something very similar to what you have would be nice, but I think we should make some adjustments to the table designs to accommodate PA-specific info. (That one tiny table just looks a little funny.) When I have enough time, I'll try to run some ideas through my head. If I come up with anything I like, I'll throw together an article for it. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:45, 14 November 2007 (CST)
* Seems good to me, although PP cost does increase at level 11 and 21 for all PAs, I think. Might be better to put that under Att./Acc. mods. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 03:23, 13 November 2007 (CST)

=== Suggestions ===
I've been thinking about various things to do around here lately, and I've realized there is much more than needs to be done than one person can do, or even remember at once. I propose that we add a new project page that describes in some detail (and prioritizes) various projects and edits that need to be completed. Or even just leaving it here would be fine, as long as we have a list of things for intrepid contributors to work on. So far, I've compiled the following list: 
→ With the 7Up Cup soon approaching, I would like to edit the [[1Up Platinum Cup]] page with more information, incorporating all the stuff conveniently listed [http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=47326 here]. Additionally, I'd like to get drop charts up for each mission (and EX mission, mostly), so people know what drops where. I'd like to have this done before the start of the event, though I myself do not have the time to do it all. 
→ With the changes in AoI (only the beginning of which we are starting to see from the JP version), the [[S-Rank Listing]] page's drop column is starting to look a little strained. For this and the sake of simplicity, I would like to eventually have drop charts for each and every mission, either incorporated into the mission page, or (preferably) on their own page. This would be a long term project, as it obviously would require quite a lot of effort from many individuals, but it is something that should be done at some point. While we're on the topic, I should note that only rare or otherwise noteworthy items would be mentioned in these charts. Things such as Moon X boards or rare ores (which drop anywhere) would be left out. 
→ As discussed recently on my user talk page, if at all possible, we would like find someone capable of programming a stat gathering and calculating tool to be hosted on the site. It would have to be separate from the wiki framework, unfortunately. 
→ Failing the above, it would behoove us to create several "information gathering" pages, in which users could display their stats for various race/type/level/etc. These could then be used to create summary articles with updated stat modifiers and the like for AoI. 
→ Similarly, we may want to create pages for gathering synthesis rate information, since these data will also be changing somewhat drastically with AoI. There is currently no resource that lists such information, so I reckon many would find it useful. 
→ Many weapon pages (but most importantly S-Ranks) still need to be either created or updated to the new format, and the vast majority lack pictures. I would like to encourage anyone who has the time and resource to help create new pages when able. Additionally, I would like to post a topic on the official forum (and possibly POSW) requesting pictures to be submitted for the articles. If anyone remembers Keg's picture request topic from the BB forum, something along those lines, except users could just upload the pictures here directly. 
→ Similar to the above topic, I would like to begin collecting images of the new AoI weapons, just to give viewers a taste for what is to come, or to show off new weapon manufacturers. 
→ I'd really like to get a new logo for the corner up there. The radish looks awesome and all, but it has nothing to do with PSU whatsoever, and frankly it seems silly.
→ I've more ideas, but I can't think of them at the moment. 
So, any and all comments on any part of these suggestions would be much appreciated. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 01:20, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** I was always under the impression it was supposed to be a vine leaf. >_> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 08:42, 12 October 2007 (BST)
*** You're probably right, but it looks rather silly regardless. Anyway, I threw together a few [http://psupedia.info/qwerty/wikilogos example logos] in my spare time. I'm not going to lie, these don't look very good (though better than the ones I made a while back), but it gives an idea of what we could potentially do. Personally, I'd prefer if we could just get some very simple (yet still PSU-oriented) picture with a transparent background, like the current one. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 04:40, 13 October 2007 (BST)
**** Yeah, something simple would be nice I guess. I'd say the first logo thingy is out right away for its aggressive colours (sorry to be blunt), but the Colony Square one doesn't look bad at all. As for the text, I like the black font better (more subtle than the blue one), but as for the contents I somehow always preferred omitting the 'the', whyever it was part of the site name in the first place. ~_~ - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:28, 14 October 2007 (BST)

----

* At one point I tried to make a 'to do' page, and subsequently Hitomi did (which still [[TODO|exists]] by the way), but they ended up being neglected mostly. As for stat modifiers, the easiest way to figure them out is probably using the available (Japanese) sites. I reckon those would be far more relevant than 'level xxx male human base stats', so from there on it should be easy mostly. If I could get some tips on how to go about implementing a stat gathering/calculation system I'd still totally do it by the way (since certain other sites might be closed down at any time). In any case, good initiative. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 12:00, 11 October 2007 (BST)
* I've kind of been holding off on creating new weapon articles (excluding ''Illuminus''-exclusives) since so much of the data on our current arsenal will be changed next month (or thereabouts). We could, of course, get a jump on things by gathering the changed stats and storing them on weapon talk pages until the change. Also, one thing I think should be added to the list is the redesign of the front page. I'll see if I can think of anything else, but for now, I've got to get back to work. D: - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:09, 11 October 2007 (BST)
* [http://mewn.psupedia.info/illuminus_images Weapon images here]. Obviously still a lot of weapons I haven't/can't get my hands on. Includes some old S-Ranks such as Skela and Muzzlefever because I wanted pics of them. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 19:53, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** Just wow. I'm amazed; quite some of these look simply stunning (Cubo Simba, Okarod, Vambrella, to name a few). Awesome job. :> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 23:58, 11 October 2007 (BST)
** Indeed. Anyway, I'm debating whether we should start adding those images for items, as I think it would be preferable to get an assortment of images from various characters, just for the sake of variety. As for weapon pages, I see no problem in going ahead and making them. The only major thing that will change with AoI is synth percents, and we don't know most of those anyway. But yes, those pics are indeed nice. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 01:37, 12 October 2007 (BST)
*** We might as well use them. I agree on the variety thing, but we can always add new pictures later. Once I get my new contutor (<_<), I'll ''finally'' be able to start contributing weapon pictures. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that we can just move some of these pictures to the gallery at the bottom of a page when we start getting new characters using the weapons. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:50, 14 October 2007 (BST)

===Category cleanup===
After creating and categorizing some random item articles, I realized how overgrown the categories section is. It needs to be spruced up something fierce. I mean, do we really need categories for each star rarity of each weapon, item or material? Personally, I think the categories should be shrunk down to a much more reasonable size by removing the filler, especially since most have barely been used. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:44, 11 August 2007 (BST)
* At the time I figured a complex hierarchical cross-category system might make up for one of the weaknesses of wikis over regular database systems: providing complex searching functionality. I got kind of frustrated, but eventually came to the conclusion wikis and database systems just have different strengths, that at this point seem to be very hard to combine into one. At the time I liked ideas like the templates that would automatically put items into 'Items containing <Ingredient>' categories or whatever it was, though it seems to be gone now. Eventually I gave up and decided I felt like pages dedicated to a single item would be best left to db systems that could just automatically generate them, but didn't want to force my opinion onto others, and stopped trying to work on developing item database templates (the ones I did make were a terrible mess, and mostly aimed to imitate real databases by converting all raw data into tables and automatically adding any derived values, such as PM feeding bonuses). Now, I feel that way even more strongly, because the times have changed -- PSOW is doing a way better on job on its item database as it used to. Kef finally started helping them out too, and although I'm not quite seeing them adding unicode or multi-lingual support yet, and even though I strongly oppose sorting items that largely fit logical patterns by alphabetic order (currently taken into account for the most part, although for [http://www.pso-world.com/items/psu/1/weapons/ weapons] 'Brand' has yet to be made the tertiary sorting method after weapon types and star rarity), they're doing just about anything else. That's just me though -- I wouldn't have a clue anymore how much people actually use the in-depth item articles over here. Depending on that, yeah, the huge category overload might be obsolete. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 11:21, 11 October 2007 (BST)

=== Attention Duelists: New Weapon Page Standard ===

For any intrepid young editors interested in helping out the 'pedia, [[Sandbox:Spears#Minimalist_Table_3_w.2Ficons.26centering|here]] is a link to the new standard for weapon pages. For examples of this new standard in use, see [[Axes]], [[Spears]], [[Swords]]. Thank you, and have a wonderful day. --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|Beatrixkiddo]] 02:43, 29 July 2007 (BST)

=== User pages ===
Gonna make it quick. A lot of people have been making user pages for themselves, and not contributing at all to the site. It gets annoying having to sort through all the recent edits when theres a bunch of user page edits in. This isn't directed at anyone really, but I doubt anyone who does it even checks RFB or recent edits. It's really not that big a deal, moreso a personal irk, but eh, I thought it can't hurt to bring it up -- [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 03:05, 6 August 2007 (BST)

=== Wait a damn minute, here! ===
Over the past half year I've taken to working on the article for [[Machineguns]] and the indivdual weapons themselves since they're mostly neglected by other editors here at PSUPedia. At times, I feel like I'm the only one adding and editing to it. Notcing a nicer version of the weapons stats tables in other articles, I blended its style with the information I added to the Machineguns article.

I was told someone had reverted the work I had put into the article recently and found a rather abrasive comment by Beatrixkiddo, who had mostly undid my work. Pardon me, but I have ''not'' seen a Manual of Style on this website nor ''any'' notice here at Raffon about a discussion of such. I looked through here and did a few searches of the site; hell, I even looked at the discussion page for [[Weapons]]. ''Nothing.'' I told him to show me just where his less-detailed version of the table is the official standard and I would concede; Qwerty re-reverted the article with a link to an obscure Sandbox page.

He clams that page contains "the new standard" and that most of my information "was deemed unnecessary," but I can't discern ''any'' sort of concensus or decree in that sandbox page's discussion to say whether or not a standard was authorized! I see a few comments on what design people like best, some suggestions, but that's it.

While I'm annoyed with Beatrix's attitude towards my efforts, I'm not fuming over having my work "stepped on." I fully realize that this is an open encyclopedia and anything added is open to editing. What I'm irritated with is the lack of clarity and visibility pertaining to something that's, apparently, a standard. A standard in which much of the information I had been adding was "unnecessary" and open to removal with accompanying snide remarks. If "standards are there for a reason" I damn well think there should be clearly marked information about it. Even Wikipedia does that!

Somebody's probably going to say that it's my responsibility to inspect the Recent Changes and that I would have seen the discussion in progress, but I don't prowl the Recent Changes (much less this site) from day to day to know when discussions about style are taking place, much less in poorly marked sandboxes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one! [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 20:33, 28 July 2007 (BST)

* lolk. What attitude? I said in my comment I hated to step on your feet, but that there was a standard. Obviously you noticed there was a new weapons page style in place (since you used it for the machinegun page). All other pages that I (and others such as Miraglyth) have converted to the new style lack the JP Name, Buy Price, Sell Price, etc, which I removed from your edit. I did not "completely remove" your work. I removed the things you kept that the new standard does not use. I don't "prowl" the Recent Changes either, but all it would have taken on your part was a quick comment on my talk page "Why did you modify my edit?", not a revert of my edit. If you'd like to discuss things civilly, [[User_talk:Beatrixkiddo|the sky's the limit]]. As for Qwerty's revert of your revert; he's a SysOp, and has every right to do so. His comment was not "an obscure sandbox", it was the place of discussion where this new standard was discussed for quite some time. Due to a lack of responses other than me, Mewn, Qwerty, and I think Tycho, Miraglyth decided to forge ahead with his choice for the standard. Feel free to contact me if you have anything else you'd like to ask about. --[[User:Beatrixkiddo|Beatrixkiddo]] 02:40, 29 July 2007 (BST)

* Hello, Mr. Gattaca. I believe I played with you a few nights ago. At any rate, you are correct in stating that the discussion on the spear sandbox page was far from conclusive, and although it was not noted anywhere (now noted above), the table format currently in use on [[Spears]] and the like was the one that has been chosen, and it is slowly but steadily being implemented. Do not think that we do not value your contributions, as that is certainly not true. However, you must accept that article standards will be changed, and some of your contributions may be altered. Thus is the nature of the beast. It would be great if we could have announcements and such for whenever a standard or template has changed, but the core contributing group of this wiki is but a few individuals, all of whom have other obligations and cannot afford to pour in the time needed to note every template/standard change meticulously. Hell, we can't even find time to change all the weapon type pages to the new template, much less the time needed to make a consistent "Manual of Style". So please, bear with us. If things seem really disorganized and confusing, they probably are. Now, regarding Beatrixkiddo's comment, I do not think he was rude, and I know that he certainly was not intending to seem rude. If you wish to discuss this further, just go ahead and leave me a note on my talk page or something. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 05:46, 30 July 2007 (BST)
**I'm unsure if the two of you are even aware of this statement in my original comment, since you've both seen fit to lecture me about the nature of PSUPedia's open editability/Querty's rights as a sysop, but ''I'm not fuming over having my work "stepped on." I fully realize that this is an open encyclopedia and anything added is open to editing.'' All editing pages have a warning about this! Again, it was the whole lack of clear standards and Beatrixkiddo's attitude concerning them ("standards are there for a reason" when standards aren't actually ''there''--not to mention his "lolk" attitude here) that has me fuming. I suppose Beatrixkiddo's providing a link here to the specific table in question on that sandbox is a step forward in the right direction, but I suggest a more permanent solution. It should be possible to create more "The PSUPedia" articles; having a sidebar link pointing to a Manual of Style page with subpages concerning different preferred layouts/tables/terminology would make this much more accessible to everyone. On that note; yes, Beatrixkiddo, the Spears sandbox ''was'' obscure and would continue to be had you not linked it here--as far as I can tell your link to it here at Raffon is the only place to find it on this site save Querty's link in the [[Machineguns]] edit history. For starters, it's a ''subpage'' of the main sandbox, and the whole discussion about standards took place there as well. The discussion didn't happen in a more visible area such as, say, the [[Weapons]] discussion page, nor was there any notice/announcement that I can see so that people could voice their opinions about what they personally find useful. Just keep in mind; this kind of thing will matter every time SEGA introduces an expansion that has a new subset of weapons. If this kind of thing wasn't brought to light, people like me who aren't "in" on secluded agreements to use a standard will have this problem when they go to make articles on [[Whips]], [[Madoogs]] and [[Shadoogs]]. [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 04:30, 31 July 2007 (BST)
*** If you have the time to develop a Manual of Style, then be my guest. Unfortunately, I don't have time, and neither do the other regular contributors, who number around five by my count, by the way. Everything you say is true (except the comment on Beatrixkiddo being rude, trust me, he had no intention of seeming snarky). Unfortunately, we're all too busy to deal with it right now. Can you at least appreciate that fact? You just have to appreciate that if any of the regular contributors changes something and references some new standard, we do know what we are talking about, even if it isn't clear immediately. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 04:53, 31 July 2007 (BST)
**** I'm starting on a [[Manual of Style]] right now. I'm at work right now, however, so I probably won't be able to get much done with it until later. But, let's all try to make this a priority of ours. We need to officially document a uniform style and put it into use. I've seen way too many people elsewhere say that they don't like how unprofessional and sloppy certain articles look here due to a lack of uniformity. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 15:34, 31 July 2007 (BST)
**** I agree it should be a priority, I'm not exactly sure what to put in a Manual of Style though, but yeah, the site does need to be consistent. Oh, and Gattaca, you say you're 'fuming' - well, I suggest you calm down a bit. Beatrixkiddo has proven his worth as a contributor, as have you, and he was not attempting to be rude to you. Hot-headedness will only create problems here, so I'd like to see a little less of it on all sides, thanks. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 16:10, 31 July 2007 (BST)
***** Believe me, Querty; if I knew how to add special "Wiki:" pages (not to mention adding them to the sidebar), I'd volunteer to take care of it myself. However, I think at least part of that is only doable by admins. EpisoKaos is already starting a Manual of Style page, so I will help get the ball rolling there. And Mewn--much of the querulousness I have concerning Beatrixkiddo and the "hidden standard" that resulted in the removal of much of my work stems from his attitude compounded with the wasted time invested in developing the article as I did. I actually spent a few hours clumsily trying to understand the new table format and then modifying it to accept what information already existed in the Machineguns article. I understand that pretty much all of you agree he wasn't rude, though my perspective differs. Perhaps it's just my experience with people on the internet who will use smilies/tongue emotes or some form of "friendly" or "inoffensive" chaff to cover snide/abrasive behavior (PVP Online [http://www.pvponline.com/article/1752/Thu-Sep-18?y= has observed this]) that I've come to expect it. Beatrixkiddo's "lolk" attitude only reinforced my opinion. When it comes to anger over wasted time, it's in some ways similar to the animosity people feel on Wikipedia when they toil over an article, striving to make it informative, well written, and adequately sourced ... only to see the article deleted by others. It can be quite discouraging, you know? At any rate, I don't want to have this problem again, and I'd rather not see it happen to others. I've already added a preliminary guide on the Manual of Style concerning the weapons table format with some pointers of how it works and what to do. I based the "example and code" table on Wikipedia's own manual of style pages, modified for PSUPedia's preferred table appearance. [[User:F Gattaca|F Gattaca]] 18:55, 31 July 2007 (BST)

=== Offline info\Enemy Info ===
Is it really that neccesary to have info on offline weapons/enemies/whatever? Maybe it's just me, but some of the pages look really, really, well, bad with all that crap. And I think it's safe to assume that most, if not all, people use PSUPedia for online info.

Totally unrelated, but I also think the pages for enemies should be reworked so all of them follow the same layout. Show level per mission, exp, HP. If someone can make a layout, I'd gladly add in all the info. Eventually add in drops too, perhaps.
Examples:
http://psupedia.info/Gol_Dolva
http://psupedia.info/Badira
http://psupedia.info/Goshin
They're all pretty different, and some are missing info. [[User:Saiffy|Saiffy]] 22:24, 2 July 2007 (BST)

*I agree with Tokorona, the offline info is necessary for people like me who prefer to try out various gaming strategies in the Extra mode, where meseta is plentiful and level-ups come quickly. [[User:Trooper1023|Trooper1023]] 05:27, 25 July 2007 (BST)

=== Question on Style ===
I was discussing with someone about some edits to a certain article. I was told that my edits required dumbing down because my use of speech was far too elaborate. It kind of caught me off guard, but it now strikes me as a more sweeping issue then something limited to a singular article. So, I am going to pose the question here. Is my use of speech far too elaborate to be used in these articles of PSUpedia? Or shall I try to stick to a more simplistic array of words? It is not like I am intentionally trying to pull fancy words out of my rear, I just normally write like this, I blame my father. In either case, I'm going to leave the question of style here, how elaborate is too elaborate? --[[User:Ccelizic|Ccelizic]] 20:05, 13 June 2007 (BST)
* I have a somewhat similarly elaborate style of writing too, which is natural for me. I'd say it doesn't really matter, so long as you are getting the message across. People don't necessarily have to write like you to understand what you write, so I see no need to dumb down. I'd just make a general point, not aimed at anyone in particular, to avoid obvious things such as slang, internet terms or phrases (even popular ones), irrelevant and/or esoteric jargon, and words which will likely confuse people or send them scuttering to dictionary.com. I suppose also it's worth noting that this is supposed to be a resource for any and all players (even Japanese ones, if we ever trump their sites), and obviously not everyone has such a good grasp of English as native speakers do. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 02:32, 14 June 2007 (BST)
* What Mewn said. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 03:30, 14 June 2007 (BST)
*It would also be a good point that not everyone that uses this site is on the same education level. Gamers of all ages use this site so some reservation on using large words need to be taken. Remember a twenty-seven year old English major can write using words that a twelve year old middle school student wouldn't even know where to begin translating into understandable, useful language. Don’t consider this to be dumbing down as much as it is making anything you write understandable to a wide audience. [[User:Lillostxsoul|LillostXSoul]] 04:47, July 23, 2007 (CST)

=== Project:Copyrights ===
Look at that block of text below your editor window. It goes on saying how this is released under the GNU Free Documentation Liscense 1.2. And then, as you can see it directs the user to look at [[Project:Copyrights]] for more information. Now, that link spits over to something nonexisitant. Is that intentional? Do we need someone to get that legal information in there? Did ninja kidnap it? Or is that some link that needs to be removed from the editor page? Maybe I'm obssessing over something asinine, but it seemed to strike me as something worth bringing up. --[[User:Ccelizic|Ccelizic]] 06:39, 13 June 2007 (BST)
* It's something the wiki system kinda automatically generates whether or not people are going to use it, IIRC. Looks like Hitomi is the last one that changed it, and a quick search for 'tsukimono' reveals that it probably isn't going to be editable from the wiki itself. I'd get to the file and change it, but then again, I just never bothered to find out what file/directory it's in anyway. >_> - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:35, 11 October 2007 (BST)

=== Massive edits ===
To those who edit/add to this site, can I ask you to PLEASE use the preview button? It's not that far away from the submit button. It lowers the ammount of posts listed in the Recent Changes page. It just gets in the way and makes it harder to keep track of what's been updated. Thank you for reading this.[[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 08:17, 30 March 2007 (BST)
* Not to mock you, but while this is a talk page, the "Raffon Field Base" project means to leave comments in the article itself! - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 17:37, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** Oops ^_^'' My appologies. Wasn't totaly sure where I was supposed to place this.[[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 18:27, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** I'll take the liberty of moving it. For the record: I agree with you, 2 or maybe even 3 edits to correct mistakes made is acceptable... but when you start seeing six or more consecutive edits on the same article, it starts to seem like a piss-take. I would urge people to use the Preview function, and better yet, to check and double check what they have put. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 20:07, 30 March 2007 (BST)
** Even failing that, the least people could do would be to use the "Summary" box to detail the cause of so many edits. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 04:05, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** Well, people don't seem to have taken much notice of this, and the same sections of articles are repeatedly being edited over a small period of time by the same person. Is there anything anyone can think of to stop this, without being ridiculously harsh? [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 21:14, 1 April 2007 (BST)
** Is it possible to put a timer on how quickly a single account can edit one page? If you could put this on then people would be forced to either use the preview effectively or wait an incredibly long time to complete a page, I'm not sure on the limitations of this Wiki, so it's just an idea. [[User:Wormania|Wormania]] 23:55, 1 April 2007 (BST)

=== Planet Maps ===
Can someone get/compile a map of the planets, with locations? The small cut of the maps on the mission screen, is not really helpful for an overview. - The preceeding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Mixilli|Mixilli]].
* Before I lost the net I was working on some maps. I made only 1 map so far, Linear Line "A" path(I call it A, not the A from Rare Monster's Page). Maybe I sould do that again. It was a challange, but fun. [[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 04:58, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** I thought Mixilli meant the planets themselves, with "the mission screen" being referred to as the overhead "map" screen you get when at the mission counters. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 05:12, 31 March 2007 (BST)
*** Huh. beats me really. hough I wouldn't mind maping as much of he game as I can and is needed of me. Maybe I could do "box" locaions better then my original map. [[User:Rydia|Rydia]] 07:33, 31 March 2007 (BST)
** I've been maintaining a map of all the missions for each planet, just for my own use. It shows how they link up, and what level enemies there are. I could make an image of these if that would be helpful. [[User:Pob|Pob]] 11:08, 4 April 2007 (BST)

=== Rappy Paska ===
* Isn't easter rappies called Rappy Baska not Rappy Paska? i changed it to baska but sum1 changed it to Paska. - The preceeding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]].
** In-game they are called Rappy Paska. Yes, this does mean that the English website preview is wrong. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 03:09, 25 March 2007 (BST)
*** Most likely a mistranslation on SoA's part. Rappy Paska in katakana is ラッピー･パスカ (''Rappii Pasuka'') whereas Baska would be バスカ. Kinda easy to mistranslate the first kana due to the similar symbols. Paska is correct, however, as it probably refers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paska_%28bread%29 Paska bread]. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 12:27, 25 March 2007 (BST)
**** Interesting, I always figured it was a bastardization of the word "paschal," but I guess the bread makes sense too. SoA was probably thinking Baska as in Easter Basket. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 17:30, 25 March 2007 (BST)
***** Could be. I guess they were trying to americanize it? but yea easter basket= Baska.--[[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]] 19:56, 25 March 2007 (BST)
****** lol, multi-lingualism. Actually I think the chance SoJ knows about Ukranian easter bread is pretty slim. Check [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Easter this]; half of the article names in other languages it refers to are similar to this. Really, the English term is the odd one out. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 18:01, 27 March 2007 (BST)
*******it really is an odd one. it is basically the only one that does not sound like the hebrew wording. i guess we hav to be unique :)--[[User:Wild Goose|Wild Goose]] 21:42, 27 March 2007 (BST)
****** Heh, I didn't notice that, Tych. Admittedly, I only know Easter in three languages (English, French - Pâques, and German - Ostern) and thought the whole Paska thing too much the same to be mere coincidence. A shame if it was just a reference to Pascha or whatever, at least a reference to Ukranian bread would be far more interesting than just 'hay guyz we bastardized Easter in a foreign language lol'. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 01:19, 28 March 2007 (BST)

===New item container===
[[Image:newitembox.jpg|thumb|200px|right|New Item Box]]

* I found this on easter peril i have some pics of it. the wierd part was its on the ceiling. i dont know if it has any better droprate than normal. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 16:11, 14 April 2007 (CST)
** Not sure if they have any particular higher droprate. I've heard they can drop Something Sweet but I don't really know, maybe someone else here knows more than me. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 23:25, 14 April 2007 (BST)
*** That has been known about since the day Eastern Peril came out. They just seem to have a slightly different drop list than the other containers, often dropping Something Sweet, buff items, and Scape Dolls. They also drop assorted berries. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 03:43, 15 April 2007 (BST)
* Yeah, unfortunately, different kinds of containers do have different drops, but the PSU guide book thing never elaborated on this much. D: - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 10:24, 11 October 2007 (BST)

===Main page linking===
I understand the use of the search box, but i do feel that the site could use some bettermain page linking to other pages. For example AoI is in hot discussion right now, but there is no way to get there unless you do a search or go to categories. Im not trying to put this job off on anyone else, but im not very good with wiki editing and parts or the main page are restricted to normal users. Tell me what you think. And on a side note, what happened to the pick of the day idea, or even pick of the week, that would be cool. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 21:41, 17 April 2007 (CST)
* I think I was the only person who's really been pushing for additions of this nature - for example, I've done a small amount of fiddling with [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Test_Navigation|a possible new Navigation section]]. The trouble IMO is that almost nobody else seems to care. For similar reasons our Photon Fortune situation is awful, our Rare Monsters tables are still inconsistent and ugleh despite [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Rare_Spawn_Mockup|work to]] [[User:Qwerty/Sandbox|improve it]] and the "new logos" work has amounted to nothing. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 18:56, 18 April 2007 (BST)
** I see the work you do around here, and I for one really apreciate it. I not entirely wiki knowlegable, in fact this is the first one ive worked on, but an online game of this nature can not have its guides created by a single person. It is way to massive, and there is way to much data to be compiled to rest on the shoulders of one. Im trying my best here and if there is anything you want help with im game. The PSU community needs to help each other out. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 15:38, 18 April 2007 (CST)
** I really do like [[User:Miraglyth/Sandbox#Rare_Spawn_Mockup|your work]] on Rare Monsters tables better than the current one. What refrain you from adding it? (Beside the hard work). Also, that would be better with links to monsters pages. The really good thing with yours is that everything fit on the screen. Anyway if you need help adding this design, please ask. [[User:Essen|Essen]] 15:54, 25 April 2007 (BST)
*** It's that nobody else in the discussion pages for Qwerty or myself have lent any support or criticism. There's no point mass-implementing something of this scale only to have people '''then''' turn around and say "Oh no let's go back to the old one." so I'm stuck doing nothing until people - regulars and sysops - actually say something ¬_¬ - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:48, 25 April 2007 (BST)
*** I believe I [[User Talk:Miraglyth/Sandbox|lent my support for it]]... [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 09:04, 26 April 2007 (BST)
* I agree that we need a better sort of "site-map" or directory of some sort, or at least we need to reorganize which links are in the main menu, because otherwise entire articles can get overlooked (sort of like the two I worked out today, there's no real good place from which to link them in the current setup). While I am not terribly familiar with the functioning of categories, templates, or table coding, I can try to work on something now that schoolwork is finally letting up. I'd also like to see us reorganize the [[Rare Monsters]] page to make it fit with the template Miraglyth has worked out. These are all things I've wanted to do for a while, but thus far I've been too preoccupied with shoolwork and pestering Mira on the forums to work them out. Hopefully we can make some headway on this stuff in the coming weeks. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]]
** Just another comment: I think expandable/collapsible menus might help a lot with organizing things, either in the sidebar or on the main page. However, it seems that can only be done with javascript, and I sure as hell don't know any java, nor do I even know if it would work in the wiki context. Either way, it's something to consider. I may also try to draw up a rough sitemap later tonight if I have time. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 19:10, 9 May 2007 (BST)
*** Me yet again. I found some [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree wiki extension] that allows for the creation of collapsible menus and such. I'm assuming Tycho or HitmonCHAN would have to install this then, yes? It does seem like something that would be very helpful for organizing menus in a compact fashion, allowing the linking to many articles from the main page. Thoughts? --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 22:06, 9 May 2007 (BST)
*** That extension sounds good, but Tych currently doesn't have FTP access and I don't expect Hitomi to bother with this site, as he works on PSUTopia now. Once it is installed I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 14:36, 10 May 2007 (BST)
*** [[Special:Version|Here]] you go. One CategoryTree extension, yo. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 18:30, 10 May 2007 (BST)
**** Doesn't look like this is necessarily what is needed as it is an automated tree generator. The only way this will work is with a lot of clean up of associated categories. At that point it would work (possibly quite nicely), but everyone would need to be very vigilant about keeping their entries properly maintained or they would never make it into the tree. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 15:45, 2 August 2007 (BST)
**** BTW, was AJAX enabled ($wgUseAjax = true;)? Clicking the + doesn't do anything other than say "loading" -- In any case, a lot of work will be needed to make this work in a useful manner, given that there would be multiple paths all leading back to the same thing. Weapons has Rifles underneath it along with Two Handed Weapons -> Rifles and Ranged Weapons -> Rifles. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 16:04, 2 August 2007 (BST)
**** I guess this is no longer being looked at. I have to guess that AJAX wasn't enabled based on the things I'm seeing when using the CategoryTree extension. --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 16:48, 15 August 2007 (BST)
*****This would be very useful, especially if we're planning on cleaning up the categories anyway. So, who might be able to enable AJAX to get these working proper? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:54, 15 August 2007 (BST)
****** Tycho and Hitomichan are the only ones who can do it. Tycho is allegedly in Mexico, and Hitmonchan...yeah. Uh, anyway, I'm actually now thinking list pages might be better than this, simply because they would be easier to implement. And no, we haven't forgotten about this, we're simply too busy with other things at the moment. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 19:10, 15 August 2007 (BST)
****** Monthly checkin on the AJAX question :) Category cleanup + CategoryTree might be a good thing... Is anyone back from the wild? --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 14:34, 21 September 2007 (BST)
******* I'd suggest leaving a note for Tycho on his user page, since he and Hitmonchan are the only ones with FTP access. I personally have no idea how to fix that stuff. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 05:02, 22 September 2007 (BST)
******** Some others - self included - do, but I don't think it's to the level of being able to add stuff like that. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 21:04, 10 October 2007 (BST)
********* Yet I don't? DDDD: --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 21:08, 10 October 2007 (BST)
* Not going to count asterisks, but in any case, your interface proposals are awesome, Mira. I tried giving the Main Page a bit of an overhaul (at least swapping navigation and the introduction around), but whenever I did the code just seemed to mess up big. As for Ajax, I just checked the FTP, and actually it was included at the same time as the CategoreeTree extension, so I have no clue what went wrong. Currently, the part in question is as follows (omitting breaklines and surrounded by quotes): "require_once("$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" ); $wgUseAjax = true; require_once('extensions/CategoryTree/CategoryTree.php' ); $wgCategoryTreeOmitNamespace = true;". The two wiki extensions it seems to have installed [http://psupedia.info/Special:Version properly], and the Ajax line was just a c-p as well, so then I have no clue what went wrong, unless they were supposed to be in completely different places in the files. In any case, I'll apologize for the delay -- I actually wasn't aware of this issue until now either. Anyway, looks like the new staff is going to need the FTP details as well. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 11:39, 11 October 2007 (BST)

===monsters have 2 pages each===
*There is a double page for monster data one at http://www.psupedia.info/index.php?title=Monsters and one at http://psupedia.info/index.php?title=Category:Monsters. These links should for each monster should all link tothe same monster page. [[User:Loki|Loki]] 16:04, 17 April 2007 (CST)
* [[:Category:Monsters]] is an auto-generated page created by placing individual articles into the Monster category, hence it just serves as a listing of all the monster articles in the game. The purpose for this is different than the standard Monsters page, which to me would seem rather data-heavy when I just wanted to look through the Monsters category. In addition, there are further subcategories (Colony Monsters, S-Rank Monsters, Rare Monsters etc.) that would be pointless if the Category was made to redirect to the [[Monsters]] article. I don't like the idea of making them the same article anyway - the whole purpose of the Category: articles is merely to provide perhaps a bit of text and a listing of the articles within that category and little else. My $0.02. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 23:10, 18 April 2007 (BST)

===Fourth-Stage Alternate PMs===
I've started work on a table for the specifics of the alternate battle-capable PM models. It's in the [[Sandbox]] at the moment; I figured I should make it easy for other people to contribute as well.
*Once I got my main character's PM to lvl 80 (410), I took 'her' into a couple of free missions, and did fairly well. A few days later, I bought the 411 upgrade on a whim (an expensive, 50k whim but oh well ^_^; ).
*Turns out, I much prefer the 411 to the 410. My main's FT, and I Strike-leveled his PM with the intent of using 'her' as a defensive wall. The 411's sword PA is Tornado Break (level 21+, with all three hits!), which is much better for my purposes than the 410's Spinning Break.
*I'm bringing this up here because I think players should have the detailed information about the alternate PM models WITHOUT having to blow the 50k and test one out themselves. I lucked out and got exactly what I wanted, but I could have gone with the 412 and ended up very dissatisfied AND out 50,000 precious meseta (for the character's level, he perpetually broke!).
Anyway, on with life. Players in the know, please help your fellows who aren't, and assist me in completing this table? Thanks. [[User:Trooper1023|Trooper1023]] 05:41, 25 July 2007 (BST)
**Well, the table has been moved to [[Partner_Machinery#Alternate_PM_Details|Alternate PM Details]], and officially adopted by PSUPedia! Thanks to everyone who helped! This little article can be archived now. [[User:Trooper1023|Trooper1023]] 16:30, 31 October 2007 (CDT)

=== Luck Table/Log Error ===
I usually check this table to see which of my characters have luck on a daily basis. Today there seems to be something wrong with the code. I have no idea how to even try to fix it. Maybe someone does? It was fine yesterday but when I went to check it today it was all messed up. --[[User:Renderingdragon|Renderingdragon]] 22:42, 10 August 2007 (BST)

=== Format comparison ===
I've been thinking of compiling a page on comparing each copy of psu. A page for users unsure of which version suits them, where they can see what effects them and makes life easier. For instance; PS2 version being poor, but better than nothing or 360 having a larger community and so on.

Was thinking of starting the page here; http://psupedia.info/index.php?title=Format_Comparison&action=edit

I'll need help with information of what version has what pros and cons. Also, a style guide if possible, as i've been away from here in some time. - [[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]]
* Remember to sign your comments. ;) I can see the use of an article detailing these things, but if it's created, it must remain objective. No favoritism or bias toward a particular platform can be displayed in the writing, for example. See the [[The PSUPedia:Manual of style|manual of style]] for formatting pointers and the like. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:48, 27 November 2007 (CST)
* If we do this, we have to proceed with extreme caution. This unfortunately neuters part of the article, since we really cannot make generalizations on the communities. I'm not actually sure it's necessary, but if done properly, it can't hurt. I will be watching the article intently though, and if at any point it appears it will be used to further platform elitism it will be deleted, whether that comes from the initial writing or by vandalism/further edits from other people. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 12:12, 27 November 2007 (CST)
** Was totally going to have it unbiased, however, how would you go about mentioning slowdown and other problems? As for community, I'd really only be going as far as listing the average server star ratings for PC/PS2 and 360. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:39, 28 November 2007 (CST)
*** Unbiased as in avoiding jabs at particular platforms that would promote favoritism. Of course, I don't think you have any intent of writing anything like that, but as Mewn said, we'll have to keep a close eye on the article as I imagine it would eventually fall victim to vandalism by someone wishing to stir up platform elitism and such. ;) We'll of course want to state the facts in the article, both the good and the bad, as long as it's not done in a way that shows obvious bias by a contributor toward a particular platform. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:11, 28 November 2007 (CST)
I've written the first version of the article, please go through and correct any biased information. Also, my table absolutly sucks. [[Platform_Comparison]] --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 06:21, 29 November 2007 (CST)

=== Site overhaul ===
Correct me if I'm out of line. But I think the site is getting ready for an overhaul. May aswell, it's a new version of the game. Here's some things / projects I have in mind to improve the place;
* Mission center - A hub page for missions; Online, Offline, Story mode, Extra mode & ETC.
** Mission strategies - Not for online free missions, because they are a sinch. Moreover for Network Story Missions, which seem to annoy people to no end. These pages could include mission data, points and rewards. I don't see a point in having 2 pages for one mission. That would be giving the users an extra step (Or more finding the page).
* Main Page / Navigation - Self explanitory, the navigation is out of date and needs links to AoI related changes, story missions, monster pokedex and ETC.
** Main Page / Picture of the day/week - Wasn't this going to be implimented at some point? I don't see why it shouldn't be done, it will keep people coming back to see new images. This could even allow for image contests, improving site hits.
* Guides section - There's a category for guides, this MAY overlap with strategies within the mission center idea, but all it would need in that case would be links to each story mission. Aside from that, guides could range from; PM builds, Synth guides, Strategies for fast leveling and so forth.

Comments? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 04:03, 4 December 2007 (CST)

* I'll go through the points one-by-one:
** Mission center - we could use one, certainly, all we have right now are temporary pages. We could use pages for lobbies as well, though they might be a bit sparse.
** Mission strategies - agree, but I feel they should be links to another article (specifically marked as a guide) or an external link to another site.
** Main Page Navigation - yes, this does need an overhaul, and that's been the general consensus for some time. No-one has really designed anything satisfactory though. Design isn't my forte, so if you have any ideas I'll leave it to you.
** PotD/W - I think it's unnecessary, it's frivolous and nowhere near being objective information. If it gets support it can be done, but I'm just going to flat-out state that I will not be involved with it, since I have more important things to do on the site.
** Guides - I wouldn't be opposed to having more guides as I did make special provision for them, but they have to be written, we can't just pull these things out of our asses (or from other sites). See above comment about more important things. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 10:38, 4 December 2007 (CST)
* My thoughts:
** I'd like to come up with a more effective way of displaying all of the game's missions on one index page to have linked out to the individual articles. Ultimately, this would replace our current mission page.
** Strategies could be put in pages such as ''Illuminus Ambition 2 (guide)'' and similarly indexed in the guides section.
** I've been trying to think of a new main page navigation system, but can't seem to come up with something I like. One idea I had completely replaces the sidebar with our navigation links. Of course, all of our categories would have to be thinned down from what we have now. Wouldn't be a problem, as far as I see it. (It could use it, to be honest.)
** Picture of the day/week. Like Mewn said, it'd be an unnecessary addition. I'd only see it as something else for us to try to keep up with updating, taking away from valuable time we could put to use for more important features.
** Guides and strategies would do well lumped together. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:30, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Another main page idea I had was;
* New missions & Locations - The recent hill of spores set has been a bitch for common players to find, why not have something like this on the main page?--[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 00:14, 15 December 2007 (CST)
** The details on things like where to find new missions used to go in the [[Updates]] page, but then I fell behind on that and the slack never got picked up. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 01:22, 15 December 2007 (CST)
*** I picked up where you left off; only, I haven't been making the tables like you used to that show where to go to get to each mission. (The only thing I haven't added is yesterday's update, which I'm going to get to soon.) Of course, now with individual mission articles linked to in the updates, these tell you exactly where to go. But, I suppose for the sake of the lazy people who don't want to click an extra link, I can use the table format in my next update. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:43, 15 December 2007 (CST)
**** Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like nobody had updated the page because that's clearly not the case :P - I'd just meant that the quick-find "Where to go" wasn't being done anymore. But like you say, it shouldn't be much of an issue, especially once navigation with missions becomes simpler. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 15:46, 15 December 2007 (CST)
***** It's no problem. :) Actually, this brings up something that you've mentioned many times before: an overhaul of the updates section. It's gotten huge (like Xbox). I'd like to go back over each update and redo everything to pretty things up some. I was thinking we could either make a page for each content update (Update_002, Update_034, etc.) or sort them out by months. Of course, we'd still keep everything cataloged on one page; perhaps sorted by months there. Ah, just some ideas to toss about for a later project. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:15, 15 December 2007 (CST)
****** That's a decent idea, provided it had a navigation table template to go with it. Maybe a "to be released" list or a list of japanese updates also? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 02:28, 16 December 2007 (CST)
******* JP updates would require much digging through their official site's now-messy log of updates, maintenances, events and notices. That said, a long-overdue re-standardisation of our updates page would be much desired. As for splitting the article... by month would be my preferred of the suggestion because per update results in many small articles. Perhaps take it a step further and split them by quarter? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:37, 22 December 2007 (CST)
* With a new sidebar navigation list in place, would it be out of place to have more social data on the front page? Like new missions OR most populated lobbies? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 21:43, 25 December 2007 (CST)
** I like the idea. I think it'd be nice to have a little more detailed info directly on the front page stating what new missions have just been released or what special events are going on or will be happening in the near future. More than what we've got with the news box thinger, at least. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 22:21, 25 December 2007 (CST)
* Might as well post a few suggestions here for the sake of putting them into this discussion. Here are some [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox/Main_page|front page]] and [[Site_map_(temp)|navigation]] ideas I came up with and here's a new [[User:Propagandist/Sandbox|front page]] layout by Propagandist. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:00, 26 December 2007 (CST)

=== Backpacker girl??! ===
[[Image:0012_female_student.jpg|thumb|Backpacker girl is lost.]]* So, when we gonna get backpacker girl back on the main page? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 20:41, 22 December 2007 (CST)

=== Spoiler hide / unhide plugin ===
Are there any MediaWiki plugins for hiding and unhiding information with a button or switch? This would be useful for character and story related pages. This way we could have spoilers and they could only be revealed if the reader wanted it spoiled or if they already knew what happened. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 21:43, 25 December 2007 (CST)
* The one time I've needed to hide a spoiler (which wasn't really, but doesn't hurt to play it safe with this many whiners about) I've used <nowiki></nowiki> to hide the relevant text. It wouldn't be a plugin or clickable element, but if there was any significant need for regular spoiler hiding, a simple quick solution would be to use <nowiki>{{Spoiler}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{EndSpoiler}}</nowiki> templates to repeat the above, the latter of course being <nowiki></nowiki>. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:29, 26 December 2007 (CST)

=== Video embeds ===
Wow, this is coming off as IDEA after IDEA. But Video could be pretty useful, especially on pages such as; Individual Photon Arts pages, Rare monster sightings, Guides and other pages with demonstrations. All you'd need is to allow for the embed tag for video or whatever. Anyway, thought I'd throw the idea out there. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 22:25, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Talk:Lobbies

2007-12-29T01:31:02Z

JubeiSaotome: /* Interval Lobbies? */

==How do these work?==
* I may be missing something, but now thanks to "Update 001", a lot of "Goal Lobbies" '''are''' "Midpoint Lobbies". If "goal" and "midpoint" were just names to mean "more after this" and "not more after this" then they could use renaming. Perhaps just separate outposts into "Has more missions" and "Doesn't have more missions." - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 17:54, 17 November 2006 (PST)
* Yeah, you're right. All this stuff is pretty old. DX - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 01:40, 18 November 2006 (PST)
*update this already --[[User:Dark Dajin|Dark Dajin]] 17:36, 26 December 2006 (CST)

==Interval Lobbies?==
* The manual makes no reference to "outposts", however the manual (on page 18) and the NPC trainer just after clearing the Tutorial mission "SEED Form-Purge" claim the "safe areas" to be called Interval Lobbies. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 16:57, 20 February 2007 (CST)
* This article was made at the time of the closed PSU beta, so there you have it. XD - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 13:49, 24 February 2007 (CST)
* As of AotI; the game calls them "Departure Lobbies". --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 19:31, 28 December 2007 (CST)

This might be AotI-only, but I cannot confirm. Anyone can confirm this isn't in PSU? - [[User:Gooberp|Gooberp]] 10:48, 26 December 2007 (CST)
* It's a PSU v1 item, prior to updating to AotI, I could see the information of the item and it equipped on players. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 19:57, 26 December 2007 (CST)

==A little boxy==
As a designer, I was taught never to put a box inside a box. Is there a way to make the text less cluttered with a decent amount of visual rest (White space beside the text)? I know this was designed before the recent idea of the sidebar navigation, so maybe some flow can be found with the redundant bits removed with new nav in place. Keep up the good work. --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 19:53, 26 December 2007 (CST)

{{Guide}}

==Introduction==
This guide is designed to point new players in the right direction for the first 10 levels or so. Once they have reached level 10, they should have enough experience to get them through the game and join other players. We have tried to make this guide as universal as possible, as to detract from confusion between console and PC versions.

==Getting started==
To play Phantasy Star Universe online, you will need to register for an account at the PlaySEGA billing site;

* [http://playsega.com PlaySEGA Billing]

Once you have registered an account and assuming that the game is installed on your PC or you own it for PS2 or 360, you are ready to go online. From the title screen chose [[Network Mode]]. The following things will happen;

*Patch updates: The game will check for and install them if it is a fresh game install or if an update has been put in place.
*Display DNAS or Xbox Live Terms of Service
*Display Login
*Display [[Ambition of the Illuminus]] account status warning. (If you are logging in through Ambition of the Illuminus, you will no longer be able to access the game through the original version of Phantasy Star Universe)
*Display Phantasy Star Universe Terms of Service
*Display Character Selection

If you have not made a character yet, you will be taken to the Character Creation screen to create a new character on a selected character slot on the Character Selection screen.

==Creating a character==
The first time you log in, you will be required to create a character. Compared to most online games, Phantasy Star Universe offers a rather indepth character creation system, allowing changes to aspects such as; Facial structure, Voice, Eye colour and Body mass distribution. You are given 4 races to choose from;

*[[Human]] - Humans are the "Jack of all, master of none" race. They have balanced stats, but no racial specialties. They can use some equipment that Beast & Casts cannot.
*[[Newman]] - Newmans are the elf-like race of Phantasy Star Universe, their stats focus on magic offense and defense. Like Humans, Newmans can use some equipment that Beast & Casts cannot.
*[[Beast]] - Beasts are best suited to melee class types, as they have low accuracy and average skill in magic. At level 20, a Beast can purchase a Blast Badge, which allows them to perform a [[Nanoblast]] after a set amount of damage has been received and given to enemies. In Nanoblast form, the player takes on a more primal form and heightened status depending on the Nanoblast they are equipped with. In this form, they are unable to use items.
*[[CAST]] - CASTs are synthetic humans, whom are best suited to ranger type classes. Players who select Magic based type classes will have trouble matching a Newman or Human in the same type class. At level 20, CASTs gain access to [[SUV]] weapons which are equipped as a unit on the Line Shield's extra slot. SUV weapons are large artillery that are beamed down via a satellite. Like Nanoblasts, are usable after a set amount of damage has been received and given to enemies.

After you have chosen your race and physical attributes, you are given a number of Voices and Clothing to choose from. The amount of clothing is quite low compared to what is available for purchase from stores in game. Once you have named and finalized your character, you will be taken to your room.

==Tutorial==
If this is your first time, complete the tutorials. They will explain the layout in the starter city. (You also receive the [[Rising Strike]] [[Photon Art]])

There's three different spaces you can be in: [[Cities]], [[Mission]] instances, and [[Mission counter]].

*A) City spaces allow you to visit your room, buy/sell goods, and start missions.
*B) Mission instances are where you get to fight things and earn experience points.
*C) The Mission counter is just a menu screen that shows the space city or planet you're on, from outer space.

==Preparing for a mission==
After the tutorial, you'll be in [[Clyez City]]. Go to the 4th floor, and enter the Linear Line Platform tunnel. If you haven't done so already, set up your palette and skills.

*1) Bring up the menu.
*2) Select inventory.
*3) Select the weapon you wish to add to the equipment palette. From the weapon selection mini-menu, select Add to Palette.
*4) Add it to the palette slot you want it on.
*5) From the weapon selection mini-menu, select Link Photon Art.
*6) Select the photon art you wish to use to equip it to the weapon.

==Accepting a mission==
On floor 4 of Clyez City, there are two mission entrances, the one we are after is in the far end of this floor (North east). Enter this entrance for the mission map. You'll have a menu with four options: Select mission, Join party, Leave counter, Return to city.

*1) Choose ''Select mission''.
*2) [[Unsafe Passage]].
*3) Accept it.
*4) Select ''Start mission''.

At the start of each Block (there's three in this mission) you'll see an empty crystal, you can touch it to set it up as a way point during the mission, in case you die and want to continue from where you were. Green doors will open automatically, while red doors require one or more keys. To get a key, just kill all the monsters you can find and it will drop from the ceiling. Walk to it and hit Enter to claim it. In some cases, simply destroying all the monsters in the area will open the door without the need for a key. If you see crates, break them for a chance at random items and equipment.

If you get lost, select map from the menu for a map. On a keyboard you can hit F3 to open this up without having to navigate the menu. Players appear as arrows on the map, Monsters will appear as yellow dots on the map, and Keys as red dots.

The correct buttons for attacking or using skills will always appear on the lower right of your screen. If you're low on health, open your palette and press left, which by default is bound to [[Monomate]]. At low levels, one monomate will refill your health 100%. You'll have to watch your [[PP]] (Blue bar, bottom right). This is how much energy your weapon has, it will slowly regenerate but if you use too many special attacks you can run out of energy and not be able to use them until it refills. As of late 2007, you are able to attack enemies to fill a melee weapons PP meter.

After you kill everything in the third block you'll be informed that you're done with the mission. At the bottom left of the screen you should see an large icon with an orange stroke around it, it should have one or two icons next to it. The large icon displays the button you can press to access these information icons. The following icons display different information;

*A) Guardians icons display the mission information
*B) A star icon displays a mission result dialog
*C) An icon that looks like the recycling logo will open a trade dialog. This is an interactive trade between players.
*D) A card is a received player's guild card. This allows you to communicate with them, without having to be standing next to them or within their party.

==After a mission==
Now that you're done, you can leave the area by exiting through the final door that has been opened. At this point you'll be in a city area, ''Transfer Terminal''. From here you can do four things:

* talk to the NPC in the center of the room to buy/sell goods.
* talk to the orange diamond to teleport to your room, or to a different server.
* talk to the floating cube to refill your weapon's PP (for a fee).
* enter the Aurorey Viewing Plaza Area mission counter.

Most lobbies will have these services. At this point, refill your weapon PP and enter the mission counter, then choose Return to city. You'll be back in Clyez City. Take the items you found and store them in your room, or give them to your pet to eat.

==Further adventuring==
You can repeat this process until you're level 3-5, at which point you should choose the [[Fight for Food]] mission from the Aurorey mission counter for better XP and rewards.

You can continue to repeat these missions solo until you're level 10. Alternately, you can choose Join party to get faster XP, but fewer drops per person and fewer opportunities to skill up.

JubeiSaotome: Clean up

Me and Asim think this page should be deleted; it's not at all clean or even that useful '''everybody hates [[user:Ahzi|Ahzi]]''' 02:29, 28 October 2006 (PDT)

I agree, a summary could be added to the network mode page. Gamefaqs is for guides, wikis are for detailed information. -[[user:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]]

Right. I think any of the information that's actually present (controls, whatever) should just be merged into real articles instead. This page is chaotic, and probably wouldn't really help many people considering the way the information is presented. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]]

well i wrote it because that's what most players need and that's what will make this site very useful. i couldn't find this information anywhere so i put down what i know so far (not much). a wiki generally has anything people might find useful, not just lists and tables of data. but it's your site i guess. if you don't want guides like this, it's up to you. [[User:Grunion|Grunion]] 15:35, 29 October 2006 (PST)

* The thing is, people should pretty much already know this stuff after having played the tutorial. >_<; - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]]

== Clean up ==

* Since this page is still here and linked, I'm taking action and cleaning it up and making it useful. I'm on PS2 PSU and don't have access to the PC version, I'm after the following screenshots to add to the guide for reference;

*Title screen.
*Character creation menu.
*Screens of equipping and linking process.
*Mission game creation.
*Cropped picture of Z/L2 button menu icons.
*Anything else that may be useful to a new player.

Also, should this guide be moved to [[Beginners Guide]] or [[New Player Guide]]? --[[User:JubeiSaotome|JubeiSaotome]] 05:30, 26 December 2007 (CST)
