The World and Characters of Phantasy Star Zero

Ricardo Leave a comment

In our previous article we covered the weapons, now we'll cover the world of Phantasy Star Zero. Gpara released an article today giving a little more background into the characters, the races, and the world. They also cover some basics of weapons and their photon arts.

The Story of Phantasy Star Zero

Japanese Translation

Phantasy Star Zero takes place on a planet called "Earth." Two hundred years ago, an ancient civilization was wiped out after a great cataclysmic war known as the "Great Blank". It seemed as if the humans were the only remaining survivors. For many years, the humans went on to rebuild their civilization and rediscover the secrets to their past. However, they still had to deal with the constant threat of enemies. In order to oppose them, they discovered an ancient energy source called "Photon."

With this energy source they developed weapons to protect themselves from enemies.  Around this time as the world began to revive, an artificial life form called "Cast" buried in the ground awoke from slumber. The Casts went on to coexist with the human race. The story starts when a long forgotten race known as the "Newmans" began to descend down from the moon.

Official American Translation

Once, there was prosperity.

Three tribes thrived of old, and gave birth to Divinity.

Then, there was war.

The rift between god and mortal cut through the tribes like a blade.

Then there was desolation.

A vast emptiness, and nothing more.

Two centuries went by…

People survived, and pushed back against the edge of oblivion.

Until today…

In the middle of a bright sky, a shadow covered the moon…

and the forgotten ones swooped down from the heavens.

Ambitions End S Rank Walkthrough

Ricardo 1 Comment

Laia Martinez

Ambitions End story mission has major plot changes and character devolopment as we are introduced to a brand new character named Obel. This is one of the few very hard story missions and this time, it doesn't rely on time limits to increase the difficulty. However you have 6 minutes to complete it to gain S Rank results.

Ambitions End 1

At the start of the trial head forward and defeat all in front of you. For S rank purposes skip killing any Fire traps along the way. Some of them will give you keys to open a locked gate to the north. Avoid obtaining these keys as they will be a waste of time. Head over to the left and defeat the special assault ops. Get the key and head straight to the right, and defeat all the enemies to open the door to the next block.

Block 2

In the second block its very straight forward. Just try to kill them in the quickest amount of time possible. Eventually you'll reach the end of the trial.

Magashi

Renvolt Magashi

Here you'll fight several Magashi clones.  If you have 3 star luck, it would be a good time to fight Megashi to receive his special Arms, Legs, and Torso materials. Later on you'll use these to create a new Partner Machinery not released yet.

Ambitions End 2

Here are the key points on getting S rank for this mission.

  • Minimize outside distractions, skip unnecessary monsters
  • Bring your strongest light weapon with the highest damage per second.
  • Skip monsters that appear in narrow corridors.
  • If you have a key, run to the nearest locked door or gate.
  • In Block 2, you only need 2 keys, avoid the other set.

Block 1

When you start the trial, defeat the 3 galdeen, and head to the right, defeat the next set of monsters. Then head to the right and pick up the key. You should skip every monster that spawns until you open the door with the key.

In every narrow corridor you will be skipping enemies that appear, including the Delp Slami that appears next to the ceiling traps.

In this last room you'll see some inactivated floor warps. Do not step anywhere in their vicinity. They will automatically spring a trap and teleport you back, as indicated on the map above.

Block 2

As you start, fight the 3 galdeen in front of you, run to the right and avoid waiting for the key to drop. Head over and fight the large crab, hit it's weak spot for massive damage. Run back to the start of the block and pick up the key and open the door. Head through and skip the Galdeen. As you reach to the next area, skip the Galdeen again, and fight the giant lobster across the dip, then pick up the key.

There is a fake wall behind this Zasharogan, if you run through it, you will obtain a key.

Head to the lower area and fight all monsters here and obtain the key to open the gate. You may now skip these monsters ahead and run to the right and fight the last 2 Zasharogan to finish the trial.

This mission also contains a treasure trove of Nanopolymers, Ortapolymers, and Metapolymers. But you won't be able to obtain a S rank if your trying to get them. You can find keys hidden around in monsters or secret rooms. The map above shows you the exact 4 locations on where to find the keys.

Maximum Attack G: S Rank Guide!

Ricardo Leave a comment

Its August 1st 2008. Time for Maximum Attack G. Maximum Attack G 2 Extension will start on August 1st until August 22nd, 2008. Here is a quick handy guide you can use while playing this event

What is Maximum Attack G?

Maximum Attack G is a brand new event for Phantasy Star Universe. During this event you will be playing in locations from Phantasy Star Online. Specifically, Forest, Caves, Mines, and Ruins. While playing Maximum Attack G, you can earn badges which you can trade in for various items, or try your luck with a lottery for a chance to get some exclusively rare items.

Where is Maximum Attack G Located?

You can enter on Guardians Colony 5th Floor to start any Maximum Attack G mission.

How do you meet the NPCs?

There are three NPCs who do not show up as an icon on the map. Their locations are displayed as icons in the guide below. You will need all party members to step at the blue gate in order for them to be added to your party.

How Can I Get S Rank for This Mission?

Currently you need a minimum of 243 enemies killed to complete to gain an S Rank, which can be obtained by soloing. This mission isn't very difficult and you are allowed to die without any failures.

Forest

In order to obtain an S Rank, you must head into a secret path indicated by the map. Walk through this false wall and defeat the enemies. While your here, you can obtain extra badges which are located in boxes indicated at "B" and Ashe is located at "A".

Behind this Fake wall is the Key to getting S Rank.

Caves

After clearing the enemies at the entrance, both party members can step on the two ground switches to open the door in front of them. As you enter through, a series of rocks will be blocking your way. Use your goggles to find the weak spot so that you can break them. The other team member can optionally stand by a switch to open the door.

One person should wait by this switch until the others reach the locked door.

As Indicated with "B" on the map. Behind this door contains extra badges!

At the end of this block Rupika can be found here. Her Location is indicated as "R" on the Map above.

Mines

At the beginning of this block, there is a room that shoots out megid balls. After you clear the enemies, there will be a large blue gate behind you which you can use to meet Sue.

After you clear absolutely everything, the final room will have two red ground switches. Both party members can step on these switches to enter a false wall as indicated as "B" on the map. There are quite a few false walls you can pass through leading up to some extra badges. After you click the final switch, the party leader will get a message asking if they are ready to end the mission. Otherwise you can head on to the Ruins.

Ruins

Ruins is basically very straight forward, as long as you can achieve S-Rank by the time you finish Mines, you should be able to easily S Rank through the Ruins.

This is Kireek! He… w.l…. Ubwaaa……

In Block 1, there are 3 exits. The first warp near the entrance brings you to a darkened room with Kireerk, who pretty much says some extremely weird dialogue, asking you if you can fight. The second exit brings you to the Cake Sisters who sell Cream House and Chocolate House room remodeling tickets. If you want a bikini in the future, I suggest you consider purchasing these room remodeling tickets.

In Block 2 there is a long fight with Delsabers and Gaozoran so be prepared to heal a lot. After this long battle you can click on the transporter switch to access program DF.

Program DF

Dark Falz

Dark Falz, seen here, trying to find the mother's egg.

Program DF is the easiest mission on PSU you will ever see. You can even pick up some good rare weapons and make a good profit off of them. Program DF takes place on Ruins, and transports you to a Rykros water tunnel. You will fight Dark Falz in a new fish form and end up at some type of platform that shoots up into space. The platforms look pretty much similar to the blue arena in the Dark Fakis boss battle, except its pale yellow.

For now we can only speculate the purpose behind this platform.
