Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) | comment |
After the unexpected success of Sega's online Action RPG, Phantasy Star Online, the company was eager to try and follow up with a more developed successor.Phantasy Star Universe is that successor. Universe takes place in the Gurhal System; a solar system composed of three planets and five races. Several hundred years ago, Humans created three races in their likeness to develop the worlds: CASTs for working with computers, Newmen to study TECHNICs, and Beasts for working in harsh conditions. Eventually their creations became societies in and of themselves, and have taken over control of the planets of Parum, Neudaiz and Maotoob respectively. There have been a slew of expansions released as stand-alone games, which are all covered on this page due to their content and placement in a shared timeline.The series started with Universe for PC , Xbox 360 and PS2 in 2006, roughly six years after Online. On the centennial anniversary of a peace treaty ending a brutal centuries-long war between the races, the Gurhal System is attacked by mysterious alien lifeforms known as the SEED. The SEED fall and infect the worlds, corrupting wildlife and people alike. Caught in the middle of this chaos is the Player Character Ethan Waber, who is convinced to follow in his Disappeared Dad's footsteps and join the GUARDIANS. But it's not simple, as the Gurhal System isn't as squeaky clean as its inhabitants would have you believe, and various organizations seek to use the SEED crisis to advance their own agendas.A year later, an expansion pack Ambition of the Illuminus was released. This time it took the form of a stand-alone game that replaced Ethan with a player-made character as the main character. While the first half of this expansion ("Episode 2") could be played either offline or online, the second half ("Episode 3") could only be played on the online Network Mode.Episode 2 is set after the events of Universe and features the Player Character as a GUARDIANS rookie fresh out of boot camp and under the critical eye of their instructor, Laia Martinez. Ethan Waber is on the lam after (supposedly) attempting to assassinate the president of the GUARDIANS. The story concerns Laia's attempts to track him down and unravel a sinister conspiracy created by the secret human-supremacy organization known as the Illuminus.Episode 3 directly continues the storyline of Episode 2. Having been promoted to Instructor, the Player Character is given the responsibility of tutoring Lumia Waber, Ethan's little sister and new GUARDIANS recruit. However, the Illuminus/SEED conspiracy is reaching its final stages, and Lumia finds herself a target of their plot.After another year-long hiatus, a new expansion entitled Phantasy Star Portable was released for the PSP. Set between the events of Universe and Episode 2, the Player Character (not the same one from Episode 2 or Episode 3) is a recent GUARDIANS graduate who finds themselves partnered with a new Super Prototype CAST called Vivienne. Together you are tasked with investigating the remnants of SEED activity after the events of Universe, and a mysterious terrorist called Helga Neumann who seems to be directly tied to the attacks.Eventually Portable recieved a sequel called Portable 2. Set three years after Portable, the Gurhal System's resources have been devastated after the fight with the SEED. With no choice but to colonise other worlds, the four planets band together to research subspace travel derived from Lost Technology. The Player Character (who can be the same one from Portable) is a mercenary who gets hired by the paramilitary company "Little Wing". Together with their partner, the reluctant and lazy Emilia, they discover a dark secret behind the subspace technology that stretches back to the Gurhal System's very origins.The final instalment of the Universe series came in the expansion Portable 2 infinity for the PSP, an Updated Re-release of Portable 2 that added the "Deuman" race, rebalanced gameplay, gear and mission updates, and the new Episode 2 expansion. Set 6 months after the climax of Portable 2, a new race called Deumans, humans whose DNA has been irrevocably transformed into a powerful new form, has begun to spring up across the Gurhal System. A chance encounter with one such Deuman named Nagisa leads to the player and Emilia teaming up with her and an Ancient named Wynarl to solve the mystery of the Deumans and prevent the advent of yet another threat to Gurhal's peace.With Infinity, Sega has begun focusing on a more literal successor to Online in Phantasy Star Online 2. See Phantasy Star for the original tetralogy. Also check out Phantasy Star Zero, another Spiritual Successor that came out during Universe's run. | |

Heroic Mime: The player's character in Ambition of the Illuminus on and in Phantasy Star Portable. Constantly lampshaded in the latter. In Episode 3, your character still doesn't talk visibly, but you are given options for dialogue that characters will react to as if you had said something. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Portable 2 has a few. The main one is "The Magashi Plan", a truncated version of the mission of the same name from Universe. It is a Marathon Level that requires 5 of each Spellstone to play but has a +200% Drop Rate and features a ton of level-scaled enemies with 2x EXP and 25% of their normal HP, making it the absolute best level grinding mission in the entire game. For players who cannot afford to play The Magashi Plan, they can opt for the Downloadable Content mission "Gurhal Heroes", a Boss Rush that is only really beatable at Level 70+ but comes with 2x EXP and Drop Rate packed in. | |

Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: Any CAST infected by the modified SEED-Virus will become this, most notably Headmaster Nav and Curtz. In fact, every CAST in the Alliance Military gets infected due to Helga corrupting Mother Brain, taking advantage of a top-secret command and control protocol embedded into AMF CASTs. In Portable 2. Many of the people who Shizuru so much as looks at. Also, Shizuru himself. | |

Relationship Values | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_19a781f | comment |
Relationship Values: Portable 2 has a hidden points system with Emilia that is influenced by the dialogue options you pick during cutscenes. The player must have sufficient points with her in order to fulfill specific ending criteria. In infinity, this system extends to Nagisa, which unlocks bonus cutscenes after each chapter. Unlike the base game, you can still obtain the Normal Ending regardless of your relationship with Nagisa, but to obtain the True Ending you must watch every bonus cutscene. | |

Multiple Endings | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Fairly prevalent across every game and every episode. Portable 2: Clearing the game with less than 189 points with Emilia earns the Normal Ending. Shizuru commits suicide to expel Kumhan from his body. Mika sacrifices herself to allow the heroes to defeat Kumhan, putting an end to his schemes once and for all, and Mika and Emilia share a heartfelt goodbye. As the tower of Shizuru's memories collapses, Emilia looks onward to the future. Clearing the game with 189 or more points with Emilia earns the Good Ending. Shizuru drives Kumhan from his body, joining the heroes for the final showdown. Mika sacrifices herself to allow the heroes to defeat Kumhan, and as he falls, the subspace suddenly transforms into a grassy field. Emilia looks onward to the future, determined to keep fighting for Mika. Clearing the game with 219 or more points with Emilia and S Rank in all Story Missions earns the Best Ending. All events from the Good Ending occur, except as Kumhan falls, the subspace suddenly turns into a field of tethis, a fleeting remnant of Mika's memories. Emilia finds her determination to protect everything that Mika sacrificed herself for, determined to keep her memory alive. The Gurhal System finally finds true peace, signified by the once-rare tethis flowers blossoming all across the system. As the heroes celebrate their hard-earned victory, they watch as the player and Emilia embark on yet another expedition into subspace. infinity: Defeat the boss of Chapter 4. Nagisa, realizing that the player is trying to avoid killing her, lunges at Emilia, forcing them to defend her and inflicting a lethal blow to Nagisa. Nagisa dies, rendering her mission fulfilled, and Wynarl reveals the truth to the player and Emilia before taking her body and the collected malice along with him. After the credits, Emilia and the player discover a fragment of Wynarl residing in the player's Visiphone, who suggests that Nagisa would have lived had the player not struck her down in her boss battle. Clear Chapter 5 without seeing all special cutscenes. The player strikes down Nagisa at the Ark, averting the threat of Dark Falz and saving Gurhal. As Nagisa and Wynarl fade away, they bid final goodbyes to the heroes, and the two of them share a heart to heart with each other before moving on to the afterlife. After the credits, Emilia reflects on their choices, wondering if they could have saved Nagisa if they were just a little nicer to her. Clear Chapter 5 after seeing all special cutscenes. Nagisa finally admits her desire to live, creating enough power of hope to drive Dark Falz from her body. Wynarl, who is holding the 108th fragment, absorbs its power in Nagisa's stead, ensuring Nagisa's survival. The heroes successfully destroy the incarnation of evil, Dark Falz Dios, and saves the Gurhal System for the final time. Nagisa and Wynarl share a heart to heart before Wynarl departs to the next life. After the credits, Nagisa returns to the RELICS site where she met Wynarl on her "birthday", only to discover all of Little Wing waiting to receive her as a true friend. | |

Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_1eb49c19 | comment |
Stripperiffic: Justified by the usage of Line Shields for personal armor. Indeed, it seems very much as if the cultural reaction to having armor that is functional with any piece of clothing was for acceptable fashion to grow ever skimpier... Chelsea from Portable 2 also has a large rack, but she also has a french accent in the english dub and a dress that shows lots of cleavage. You can turn your own character into this. Running around on missions in bikini or even in a bath towel? No problem. Especially the Stripperiffic Magical Princess suit from Portable 2. This costume was designed by Kentaro Yabuki, though, so that's to be expected. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real: In Portable 2, anyone near a subspace has the ability to manifest illusions based on their memories, such as locations or entities from traumatic experiences, and overlay them on top of reality. Also conveniently helps the game recycle locations and enemies from the past two games that would otherwise be unable to appear canonically. | |

Mythology Gag: The "Beyond Space and Time" mission in infinity is basically SEGA's idea of a Phantasy Star Online fanfiction. The player, Emilia, and Nagisa wind up stranded in Ragol after a subspace experiment goes awry, where they find Red Ring Rico's logs and travel through PSO's areas before meeting Red Ring Rico herself. The trio team up with her and eventually stumble across Olga Flow, the body of Heathcliff Flowen corrupted by Dark Falz, and with some encouragement from Nagisa and a team of Hunters from Pioneer 2, help Rico defeat Olga Flow and save Flowen. | |

The Straight and Arrow Path | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_28766e5d | comment |
The Straight and Arrow Path: Photon-powered Longbows and Crossbows are available as alternatives to Rifles and Shotguns respectively. They come with different strengths: Longbows are better at piercing armor (their shots ignore the enemy's defense stat) and Crossbows fire fewer bullets but allow the user to move while firing. In-universe, guards in the Communion of Gurhal (when not using TECHNICs) prefer Longbows for long-range combat. | |

Limit Break | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: In the first game, only CASTs and Beasts had super abilities. The Portable games would eventually grant every race a limit break skill. These include: Mirage Blasts for Humans and Newmans, which summons a creature — similar to Photon Blasts from Phantasy Star Online — to support the player in combat. SUV Weapons for CASTs, which calls down a large weapon platform to inflict massive damage on enemies. These weapons range from Power Fists to Gatling guns, from laser cannons to missile launchers. Nanoblast for Beasts, which temporarily results in the player Hulking Out. Depending on the Blast Badge equipped, the player can benefit from increased attack, increased defense, increased speed, invincibility, etc. Infinity Blasts for Deumans, a Super Mode which radically increases the player's fighting prowess. Unlike the other races' abilities, Infinity Blasts are inherent to Deumans and do not need to be purchased and/or equipped, and the nature of their buffs and abilities are class-dependent. | |

Scunthorpe Problem: The swear filter in Phantasy Star Universe—even more so in the Xbox 360 version—is a very good reason why swear filters should always be optional in games (or never implemented at all). The PS2/PC versions weren't much better. Notably, 'fuck' and 'fuker' were censored, but not 'fucker'. | |

Humans Are Average: They lack the more specialized stats of the other races and the unique racial Limit Break skills that CASTs and Beasts have, not getting their own until later games. However, they do get stat bonuses for hybrid classes like Acrofighter and Protranser. Justified since every other race in the setting was designed to be a more specialized offshoot of humanity. | |

Crapsaccharine World: At first blush, the Gurhal System looked like an idyllic place before the SEED Invasion. Then you start learning about the various flavors of Fantastic Racism an the Cycle of Hatred that has been stewing for decades, that the races Humans designed were originally meant to be subservient, and that there are dark otherworldly forces seeking to lay waste to all life well before the SEED's arrival. The overall plot of the series tends to flip the state in the world back and forth between this and A World Half Full. | |

Downer Ending, in Ambition of the Illuminus: Due to the infected AMF CASTs attacking the GUARDIANS Colony en masse (with one ship making a kamikaze run), the colony begins deorbiting onto Parum. The best scenario at this point is reaching the main control room that would release the residential area from the colony. In the end, the residential area is safe, but the rest of the colony along with President Dallgun, who stayed behind to initiate part of the activation needed to release the residential area, crashes into Parum, killing thousands of people ... and this was the best case scenario. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: To itself, in terms of the overall patches of release versus Ambition of the Illuminus and Portable 2. If you jumped into those versions, they play a fair bit more traditionally by the online Phantasy Star standards. If you played the launch version of the game, there were no gear drops from enemies whatsoever, the gear-upgrading methods were so stingy that they still stand as the hardest upgrade mechanics in the franchise, and numerous other design choices that later versions of the game opted to undo or replace. | |

The Big Guy: Any Beast, large or small, can temporarily transform into a massive version of themselves with Super-Strength to match through a technique called "nanoblasting." Their stats are also the most specialized for melee classes. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Multiple flavors of this exist, thanks to the events of the Backstory. Humans created CASTs, Newmans, and Beasts centuries ago, but civil wars broke out along racial lines that lasted for five hundred years. These wars ended when CASTs usurped control of the human nations and brokered a peace treaty and alliance that left the human race on the bottom of the social ladder. On Parum, CAST Supremacy runs rampant, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. CAST Supremacists view the other races, especially humans, as inferior beings. Social mores on Parum prevent humans from speaking with CASTs unless spoken to, and CASTs can have humans arrested very easily. CAST Supremacists despise the GUARDIANS and its culture of racial equality; they are also very anti-religious, and have more than a few harsh words for the faithful. Then there's the Human Fundamentalist groups, of which the Illuminus is the most prominent. While their ultimate goal is to restore systemwide human rights, they believe that the other races must be made subservient once again. The Illuminus in particular will do whatever it takes, to the point of using a virus to commit genocide on the other races. Newmans are more subtle in their racism. In Episode 1, Ethan encounters a young Newman girl who has been taught by her parents to hold Newmans over Humans for multiple reasons ... and in Episode 3, Light Master Rutsu's views about the superiority of the Newman race come out in an encounter with Ethan Waber and the player's character. It takes a What the Hell, Hero? speech by Karen before Rutsu gets off the high horse. | |

Gameplay Roulette: Compared to base Portable 2, which mostly consisted of standard "get to the end" missions throughout the entire story, infinity doubles down on gimmick missions very hard. Every single Story Mission has some sort of twist, such as breaking Blight Stones, capturing mutant monsters, an Escort Mission, and a mission where your camera is locked to a side-scrolling/top-down perspective for 90% of the quest and seals off your Limit Break. | |

This culminates in Shizuru reemerging during the climax of the final chapter, intent on freeing his body from Kumhan's possession. In the Normal Ending, Shizuru performs a Heroic Sacrifice, fatally impaling himself to drive Kumhan from his body before dying from his injuries, but if the Good or True Ending conditions were met, Shizuru drives out Kumhan through sheer Heroic Willpower and takes Kraz's place for the final showdown. | |

EliteMook | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_6838a3ec | comment |
Elite Mook: A LOT of the enemies that originated from Phantasy Star Online that appear in this series, especially Portable 2, have gotten really big upgrades and have gotten harder and smarter as well: The Booma line will feign death sometimes, like the Rappies did before when you beat them. The Sharks can guard and side-step alongside lunging forward. Ill Gills have one of the best upgrades. They can combat-roll, charge faster, and even run after you to perform a powerful scythe combo. Don't take your eyes off them... Sand Rappies are another majorly upgraded enemy. They've always been little crit-scoring demons in PSO: Episode 4. Now they get a running lunge, and four consecutive pecks in a row while dealing damage that belies their size. Astarks are now burly punching beasts that can also spew poison breath AND roll up into a ball to charge at you. Dark Belras are not only powerful punchers and can shoot their arms out forward with the strength of their Ultimate counterpart, Indi Belras, but they can now sprint after you as well. Even the PSO Dragon boss is more of a challenge this time around. Gone are the days were you can make it drop to the ground and bash on its body and head; it can breath damaging fire, charge and lunge at players, and any spots it leaves when it burrows are now erupting volcanoes. | |

Kaizo Trap: Olga Flow's sword is launched out of its hand during its death animation and plants into the ground, which can harm the player if they are in the way. You can actually Perfect Block this with good timing and receive a Title for doing so. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Laia in Ambition of the Illuminus. Though she's actually a well-rounded character, the fact remains that the Story Mode of Ambition is all about her. Your character is nothing more than a background extra. Subverted in Episode 3. While a good amount of focus is placed on Lumia becoming a full-fledged Guardian, your character is no longer just a background extra. The player character can now make decisions that can impact the story and which ending you receive, leading up to becoming the new commander of the GUARDIANS Mobile Defense Force. ...Too bad it's implied that you stepped down and gave the position to Orson. | |

Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_7e5a2811 | comment |
Virtual Paper Doll: Universe did not do well at this at first. In the original game, the options available for character customisation were limited at best and the (offline) prices for new clothes- even for something as simple as a T-shirt!- were extortionate. Fortunately, the series got a lot better as time went by, with each new game offering a wealth of new appearance options and clothes. | |

Combined Energy Attack | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_817693fa | comment |
Combined Energy Attack: The finale of Portable 2 involves what is effectively a quintessential Spirit Bomb, with citizens across Gurhal giving "life" energy (that is, the will to keep living) to Clad 6 to power the "Alive" program. The result is a massive energy beam that fires directly into the player's ship and into subspace, protecting the player's party from the coma phenomenon and allowing them to charge straight to The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: There are six elements: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Light, and Dark. Each element has an opposing element, and attacking with an element that opposes an enemy's element inflicts additional damage, while attacking with the same element deals reduced damage.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
On Parum, CAST Supremacy runs rampant, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. CAST Supremacists view the other races, especially humans, as inferior beings. Social mores on Parum prevent humans from speaking with CASTs unless spoken to, and CASTs can have humans arrested very easily. CAST Supremacists despise the GUARDIANS and its culture of racial equality; they are also very anti-religious, and have more than a few harsh words for the faithful. | |

Old Save Bonus | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_87ce64a0 | comment |
Old Save Bonus: Between Portable and Portable 2; if you completed the story of Portable and imported your character to Portable 2, you'll get an extra title ("Former/Veteran Guardian"), a special saber called "Exam", and a Visual Module based on the class imported. There are no story changes for doing this however. The only minor change is Vivienne's reaction to seeing the player in her (optional) side mission, which only amounts to a couple of different lines and responses specific to an imported player. The game otherwise never acknowledges your character's imported status, despite the player meeting other PSP1 partner characters who should also recognize them. | |

Space Elves: Newmans are often disparagingly referred to as such by the player base due to the Flanderization they've suffered as a race ever since the original tetralogy.

Precursors | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_92286f7f | comment |
Precursors: The Ancients, revealed in Portable 2. They were technologically advanced humans who once inhabited the planets that would become the Gurhal System many eons ago. The advent of the SEED wound up inflicting irreparable damage to their society, leading them to developing a backup plan: separating their souls from their bodies to bide their time in subspace, creating a new breed of humans with the capability to survive in a post-SEED ecosystem, terraforming the land to revive it, then waiting until the humans (and other associated races) sufficiently evolved enough so that they can take over their bodies and revive the race. Mika, one of the Ancients who is Sharing a Body with Emilia, opposes this plan, believing that the era of the Ancients has ended and that the new Gurhal must be allowed to move on. | |

On the Next: In Universe, each chapter of its Story Mode behaves like an anime show would, with opening and ending sequences (complete with theme song!). Just like at the end of any anime show episode, a narrator (or the characters themselves) provides a teaser for the next Story Mode chapter set to snippets of future cutscenes. In Ambition of the Illuminus, as well as the online Story Missions for both games, this was changed from voiceovers to text, and the staff roll sequence was dropped (except for at the very end of each story arc). The opening sequence and theme song still plays at the opening of each chapter's Story Mission, however. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: The story thoroughly justifies its usage here; Gurhal extensively uses storage technology called 'nanotransers', which attaches to the body and projects the stored weapons/armour/clothes/items as needed. Also a very important Chekhov's Gun. One humorous moment features the device that gives characters their hyperspace arsenal being stolen from the main character - leaving him in the middle of a city wearing only his underwear. | |

Fake Defector | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_b35e77ee | comment |
Fake Defector: Late in the plot of infinity, Wynarl reveals his intent to revive Dark Falz, raises an Ancient superweapon buried beneath Parum, and whisks himself and Nagisa away. Throughout the entire final chapter Wynarl continues to goad Nagisa into revealing her true feelings and acts pretty darn evil for the whole mission, right up until the heroes confront him directly. It's only when Nagisa finally admits that she wants to be saved that Wynarl's real plan kicks into action, as the hope he inspired in Nagisa allows him to draw Dark Falz out of Nagisa's body and into his own so it can be defeated permanently, revealing that he was Good All Along. | |

Although she does accuse the GUARDIANS of something they didn't do (dropping G Colony on Parum), the rest of her accusations ring true given events that took place in Episodes 1 and 1.5 (Portable). | |

Temporary Online Content: Phantasy Star Universe and Ambition of the Illuminus can no longer be played online (officially), as all servers for both have been shut down. The games do have single player modes, but those modes miss out on a lot of the content and missions only available through online play. Several Partner Cards cannot be got in offline play, due to their part in the story being during Episode 3. Subverted with Portable 2, which has every major character's partner card available offline, and no story chapters requiring an online connection. | |

Character Level: Like with Hyperspace Arsenal, Universe justifies this common RPG game mechanic by way of photons and technology based on them. Photon reactors (used in all weapons and armor) use spiritual energy to function. A person with a strong spirit can cause more damage with basic weapons than a rookie can with an Infinity +1 Sword. Bonus points in Infinity, where you can literally make it an Infinity +1 Sword by grinding the weapon, using an Extend Code, and then using an Infinity Extend Code then grinding it once. | |

Informed Ability: Some of the weapon descriptions are a little too... boastful. The De Ragan Slayer's description claims that it can "strike down a De Ragan in a single blow" (which might be possible if the wielder sufficiently outleveled the De Ragan). The legend behind the Ely Sion, however, states that it has the power to cleave even planets in two. Better watch where you swing. | |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_cdaa029f | comment |
Nuclear Weapons Taboo: While the Illuminus' A-Photon bombs have the visual effect of nuclear weapons, they're actually a lot worse than nukes because of what A-Photon energies attract when used in great enough quantities... On top of this, nuclear energy and weapons are mentioned in the Universe Bible as having been used prior to the development of photon-based technology, thus avoiding the "don't mention nukes" aspect of the taboo. | |

Any intruding Guardians will have to deal with traps, security forces, and escaped monsters. The RELICS sites are a massive, abandoned complexes left behind by an ancient civilization. The Sacred Arks are ancient space ships found either underground or through a dimensional rift. | |

Wetware CPU: Mother Brain looks awfully fleshy for a cast... The Tenma is a massive supercomputer located deep in a GUARDIANS base in Rykros that uses a human pilot for computation. Emilia is that pilot, which caused her to gain a lot of resentment and hatred for the GUARDIANS since she was always lonely and felt treated as more of a tool than a person. She eventually goes back in of her own accord when the heroes need to run subspace experiments in short notice to counteract Kumhan's plot. | |

Improbable Age | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_d33456e7 | comment |
Improbable Age: The minimum age to join the GUARDIANS is 14. Justified in that the younger members probably aren't supposed to be doing much until they've been around for a few years (and the age has historical precedent with apprenticeships and such), but the threat of the SEED means the GUARDIANS need all the help they can get. It gets worse when these members are promoted and taken on crucial missions despite being young and inexperienced. Hyuga becomes the head of GRM at the age of seventeen. This is justified in that almost everyone else in the company was arrested, and he ended up inheriting control. Emilia from Phantasy Star Portable 2 is a deconstruction of this trope. She is a genius prodigy at 16, but has been used by the GUARDIANS for that very reason for years. This led to her having crushingly low self-esteem as she was treated more as a component in a machine than as an actual person. | |

Continuity Snarl: Vivienne's fate in Portable. Shadow of the Arkguard implies that the bad ending is canon while an Episode 3 subplot implies that it is the normal ending. However, a side story mission in Portable 2 implies that the good ending is canon as you meet up with her. | |

The RELICS sites on Rykros mix Temple of Doom and Womb Level, then add in some vivid, glowing colors to show the place means business. Mt. Elbars on Moatoob is a frozen, mountainous area mixed with an Abandoned Mine. | |

Expy | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: A number of characters in the Universe games are Shout Outs to previous Phantasy Star games, as well as some other Sega titles: Fulyen Curtz, whose stoic nature and first name are nods to the Wrens from Generations of Doom (PSIII) and End of the Millenium (PSIV). (Only, Wren wasn't nearly as much of a Jerkass.) Hal, the news anchor from Gurhal Channel 5 who bears more than a striking resemblance to Ulala from Space Channel 5. (Heck, she's got a SC5 song as her own personal theme!) Izuma Rutsu, whose appearance and last name are references to Lutz from Phantasy Star I as well as PSII and PSIV (Lutz was renamed to Noah in the American release of PSI). The Gurhal System Itself. Parum is an Expy of Palma, Moatoob is an Expy of Motavia, and Neudaiz is an Expy of Dezoris (putting aside the fact that most of its water is not ice, its name can be read as "New Dezo"). To top that off, Episode 3 revealed that there's even an Expy of Rykros, named exactly the same and with the same "hidden" nature as Algol's Rykros. | |

Clone Angst | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_e780f603 | comment |
Clone Angst: In quite a few ways. The most significant one is the existence of "Copy-CASTs": machines that are created with the mind and appearance of a real person but none of the rights granted to CASTs. Magashi is a Copy-CAST of Illuminus mastermind Howzer, although the original Magashi eventually develops his own personality and becomes a kind of Blood Knight. Vivianne is a Copy-CAST of Helga, created to act as an unwitting Illuminus spy within the GUARDIANS. In a non-Copy-CAST example, the Helga in Phantasy Star Portable is a clone of the original. Because the clone was created from SEED cells, her original personality has been corrupted to serve the needs of Howzer and the SEED. | |

If you use multiple Types or a Type with a high number of useful Photon Arts, you're gonna need to do this. However, the disks are bound to the player's character (or account if cross-character storage is available.) | |

Micro-Transactions | |
Phantasy Star Universe (Video Game) / int_f54256d4 | comment |
Microtransactions: The game eventually added a "GUARDIANS Cash" system, or GC, for the Japanese versions that allowed people to purchase a premium currency with real money. This currency allowed you run special "GC Missions", enhance or repair gear with some form of guarantee, or purchase items from a special shop that only wheels and deals in GC. Eventually, towards the end of the game's lifespan, Universe went free-to-play and used GC exclusively as a method of payment, with more GC content being relegated to cosmetics. The latter would eventually form the basis for Phantasy Star Online 2's own free-to-play model with ARKS Cash. | |

Continuity Lock-Out: Karen Erra, full stop. Her partner card can only be got, in the original game, one of two very specific ways. The first is an encounter with her and Ethan Waber in Chapter 3 in the now-disabled online mode, and the second is by transferring a completed game from the original game for the offline mode. In Portable 2, you have to do a side mission. It's also why you can never get Mirei Mikuna's partner card. Well, Karen Erra, in any part of the game where you have Partner Characters IS Mirei Mikuna! | |

They both transform even further into Dulk Fakis, who also has a second form. And Magashi has an additional form in Episode 3 too! Only this time, it's the "defective" Magashi clone that gets it. In Subplot 4 of Chapter 8, Magashi is the vessel for Dark Falz. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: Inverted. When you're going round outside of a story mission, you can go anywhere, do anything, there's no restrictions. In Story Missions, more often than not, you travel straight to the location of a mission. Gameplay and Story Segregation: All four Lobby areas never change throughout the game despite the Guardians Colony being left in effective ruins, Parum being devastated by most of the Colony being dropped on it and Moatoob falling into anarchy, and Neudaiz deploying a Deflector Shield. The only lobby changes are seasonal. | |
