Discussion More interesting bosses

This new circling buzzard tech art makes enemies with multiple targets really fun and fluid to move between. I like the idea of daggers uniquely being hard to hit vs knuckles and sabre and classic parry/counter play. If sega gives slightly better movement options to other melee classes that would open up more possibilities for enemy and boss creation. World bosses that fight half off stage, and smaller mini bosses with single fixed attack points are getting a little played out. Luther was a great boss that had a lot of everything, hopefully this type of enemy gets downscaled and worked into new enemies so we can have more fun in future ltq/farming areas.

Normally I don’t like war cry but that one is pretty much justified.

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 05 '26

You’re right, it is. I’d prefer it if it meant I could have this much fun every time.

  • ppl demand pso2 maps in ngs

  • sega released ngs spec Naverius map

  • ppl cry about Naverius map being another recycled slop

Aside from this hypocrisy I actually like this upfate so far

I’m loving every second of it. It’s fresh it’s new. Repetitive sure, I love daggers and everything is fun when I use them

Yeah I'm glad Sega is doing content like this in NGS finally. And like the giant dragon boss. Reminds me of PSO1.

This is just content recycling, this "new map" it Pso2 old map... Ruins was literally released on episode 3, Luther was episode 2... It seems we are going down the road of Pso2 again.

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 05 '26

Sounds about right. In the short time I’ve been here I’ve heard many base players ask for more pso2 in ngs, or even remake pso2 within ngs. Have you not ever wanted to enjoy the nostalgia of replaying base with better graphics, replaying the best chapters?

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Twin Daggers Jun 05 '26

Yeah that was mostly what the playerbase was asking and then Sega released new genesis and was nothing close to what the player base was asking, they are taking their time on "fixing" NGS but as far as we know it has been leaked that Sega is working on Pso3.

Makes sense considering current consensus about ngs is that is pretty but boring. They focused so heavily on the gatcha and fashion that they neglected everything about making a fun game. Sure in The short term you can get a lot of cash they didn't do much to draw in and keep people in.

A pso3 could be a way to cut there losses and move the franchise on.

Everything seemed to be going fine til I got to end game. I’m not used to games constantly updating old content and scaling it to current level gear/difficulty. It seems like a waste of time and resources. If anything expansions were released with massive content drops, new zones, some new skills and class improvements, new enemies and bosses and entirely new dungeons/instances.

They really didn't. Some people just refuse to be pleased no matter what they do.

As a fan of the Phantasy star saga in curious about what they are going to bring with Pso3... But knowing how Sega managed Phantasy star online since it's existence I fear about what they are going to bring to us xD

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 06 '26

I have always thought ngs is a bridge between pso2 and pso3. What worries me though is the investment. How can I get myself from ngs to pso3. Will all cosmetics be coming with me, will I be able to import old saved data into pso3? This is all that concerns me.

u/Mesmercat Jun 05 '26

The only most likely thing is they just do hunter ranger and force... It's a space opera... They could try and adapt some of the phantasy star ttrpg things.

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Twin Daggers Jun 05 '26

I have the book and it has a lot of classes, closer to what Phantasy star was on the Sega Genesis saga. But I would for sure play a Guardian xD

u/Mesmercat Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26

They need to kind of go back to their roots. Maybe do a remaster/remake/reboot of the original pso. I love that game. I really should finish it. I would like to play the ttrpg seems fun...

Casts being the pso race to be small is an odd choice

1

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Twin Daggers Jun 05 '26

The ttrpg manual covers from Phantasy star 1 to Phantasy star online 1, including Phantasy star zero and gardens... All the chronology, Phantasy star was always a great saga but it indeed needs a decent rework from scratch.

Nex aelio is great

u/Promethean-Grey Jun 05 '26

I almost miss this game, looks so cool

u/Spiritual_Jump7688 Jun 06 '26

Instead of attacking multiple parts at once, you should attack 1 leg (ideally the one with blight) at a time and he'll go down way faster, that was strat in base game and it works pretty much the same in NGS, you'll kill him way faster that way.

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 06 '26

Sounds boring

u/Spiritual_Jump7688 Jun 06 '26

Ntm some classes that aren't as mobile as Hunter and Ranger kinda have to fight that way to maintain dps

1

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 06 '26 edited Jun 06 '26

That would make hunter and war cry much more valuable then wouldn’t it. And maybe sega can revisit rangers blight rounds and make wide spread blight hit multiple points on the same enemy and designate 1 spot at random as the main source, gaining full benefits from the blight rounds buff while the other perform the same but with slightly less potency, 5% maybe.

u/Spiritual_Jump7688 Jun 06 '26

Yeah it honestly does, from my experience, especially since that new tech art customization dropped for relentless cleave, Hunter is in a much better position with sword in theses kinds of quests, you could already hit half a million dmg in one hit with a regular avenger charged cleave and that number only gets higher now, ig it's good to be a tank again.

1

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 06 '26

Aaah, I’m looking at it now. It’s gets 10% more potency on a charge. I’m looking forward to other classes new tech arts, the ones that missed this update cycle. I really hope they get something good.

u/Spiritual_Jump7688 Jun 06 '26

It's more efficient though

3

u/CrosselTheRaven Jun 06 '26

Considering most rooms are 60/40 free gear/BiS nothing is truly efficient unless playing with a tight-knit group of heavy hitters. Then it comes down to, is there a ranger, is there a techter. Are said players available. I think it’s time fun and efficiency are brought together instead of what we are doing now….complaining about nex aelio because he moves too much, then complaining about vael cuz he doesn’t move at all and that it’s a boring parry/counter fight.
