Feel bad for the NA crowd that's about to experience episode 4 for the first time
Cameron Perry
Gameplay additions were fine, but it's Episode 4's story that's a huge dumpster fire.
Adrian Cooper
what's so bad about it?
>story
oh, I don't care
Ethan Reed
It's just the story that's bad
NA has almost all the stuff that was a part of episode 4 already except for crafting
Summoner was originally part of episode 4 and was the main addition when it came to JP
Christian Turner
At least it's only a few months

The isekai trend was getting real popular at the time, and SEGA decided instead of following PSO2's storyline, they'd put it on hold to do their own isekai. Episode 4 reveals that the universe of PSO2 is just a video game, which people from real world Earth can log into and become ARKS (the player characters). But the game leaks into the real world corrupting objects and military vehicles, as well as tossing a girl from Earth into the PSO2 game. She's super useless and just whines about everything. Your character has to go to Earth to fight back the corruption. Your character is not a player from Earth.
They ended up walking back "PSO2 is just a game" into "PSO2 is a parallel dimension to Earth" by the end of the story.

that sounds fucking hilarious actually
Levi Peterson
So it's like the internet from the megaman games?

Except it was their intention from the beginning. The fact that you and Xierra could peek into Earth and see high school girls taking a bath with shota means it's a parallel universe. Then a crapload of infodump about Ether = Photon and Mother implies this as well. I agree they using PSO2 as the actual game in the story is dumb though

Don't forget that the writer would go on 2chan and start fights in PSO2 threads, usually ending with "Well why don't you write a better story"?
Ryan Bennett
Should I play PSO2 for Lisa?
Isaac Gray
This guy literally has no idea on what he's talking about.
Evan Lopez
No, you should play PSO2 for Io.
Kayden Barnes
Not my cup of tea.
Aaron Johnson

Brody Diaz
He's cute!
Grayson Adams
Is this a version of earth where guys stop bathing after they graduate from shotahood?
Cameron Gonzalez
Based. I'll never get tired of the "kouhai that looks up to you" archetype.
Aaron Diaz
Jumping the shark is the leap into hilariously out of place collaborations.
Adam Hughes

Owen Nguyen

Samuel Taylor
Was this the only collab that actually had quests tied to it?
Kayden Perry
Saints Row.
Evan Ross

Mason Johnson
Yeah, that's kind of Eva's thing.

>Literally making shit up
That's not how the story in EP4 went at all, though the real thing isn't any better. Earth is in Subspace, which is the place the Photoners dumped a failed Xion clone, who is Mother. Using PSO2 as a game was really just Mother trying to get out of subspace to get revenge on the Photoners, though they're all gone at this point. Phantoms are just based off of people's thoughts and such given a more physical form so you'd get stupid stuff like White Day Afin or the Evangelion event. "God" has the PSO2 title screen logo on his back.
Robert Howard
Dont worry episode 5 and 6 will redeem it.
Ryan Jenkins
will do thanks mane
Daniel Hill
The MHFZ one had shit too but I didn't take any screenshots
Levi Hall
So the failed Xion clone didn't come back as Dark Falz?
Jayden Martinez
Episode 5 sucks shit too. Things only get good again on Episode 6.
Carter Reyes
Is there a place where I can properly read the lore/story? Ive already seen episode Oracle.
Is PSO2 canon to PSO and PSU?
Nicholas Morales
holy shit sauce?
Wyatt Powell
Ep 5 storywise is alright
David Rodriguez
Interactions among the Dark Falz were great and the ending was hot blooded as fuck.
Jace Cruz
After Mother absorbs the girl's player character who became its own thing (darker energy + ether bullshit, something like that), she eventually gets corrupted by it too much and becomes ESCA-Falz Mother, so close enough.
PSO2 is most likely not canon to PSO and PSU. As for reading up on everything I'm not really sure, I've just played the game on JP and did the story when the patch caught up, though I might be forgetting some things EP4 was a while ago. Can't wait to marathon it with a friend who has no idea what EP4 is like.
Luke Adams
Where does everyone go to on JP to farm exp at 80+?
Grayson Gomez
Wait for the featured quest called "A World Engulfed in Shadow" or the castle one who's anme I forget and just multiblock it with expert off. Alternatively bonus keys
