Azelyra you need to know even though I cant speak for everyone that its great to see you doing okay. You've been one of my fav PSO2 content creators from base. I was really sad when you disappeared but its great to see you again. Keep your head up. And I'll follow you whatever direction you take
I've had a number of people message me because they genuinely thought I quit for good or things of that nature I've tried keeping intouch with the community by continuously doing headline streams, but just that won't really make the algo say that "I exist" exactly haha Thank you so much though! It really means a lot ☆
I got into pso2 because of you. A while back I saw your guides and phantom rod videos and it went from there. I've been following you for a long time now, we all like and appreciate you azelyra.
6:50 You definitely should do this. MORE People should do this. Because it's the biggest problem with the internet. Everyone is faking a perfect life and shows no weakness. And this is what makes people depressed. They think they are alone with their bad feelings. That everyone around them has a good life and only them are sad. But this is not true. All of us have to carry something. No one is perfect. And by showing us your struggles, you make us feel less alone. (Yes, I'm talking about myself here.) So thank you very much for sharing your story with us. ❤
This, 100% this! And to add on if you do show any valuability or bring in your personal problems on the Internet, You're often ignored, or even outright gaslit into thinking it's not a problem.
How I look at it personally is that as a CREATOR, it's best to not bring in personal drama/issues etc because from our standpoint- we're here to entertain you rather than piling our problems on you Perhaps that is my professionalism talking, or the Asian in me talking haha but I 100% understand your perspective It would be great if everyone could be a lot more genuine sometimes on the internet 😊
Welcome back Arcy. The first step is always the hardest to take, but once its taken everything else comes much easier. I could feel the enthusiasm and passion coming back into your voice as you talked about what you wanted to do. Also lemme out of the basement (:
Never apologize for making a video long , we are not tiktok weaklings . Now if you want stablish a standard , thats up to you. About your projects i will fully support them . I also do PSO2 videos about the lore in spanish but subbed in english too . And since NGS i have been covering aspects that i never covered in the main story videos like: races , power sources , classes background etc . And i started that journey simply because nobody else did it.
I may be late but I will say this anyway. You are the reason I pushed forward to keep playing PSO2, and even NGS for a bit. Your guides, gameplay videos, etc, all are fun to watch. I am a solo player in PSO2 these days cuz all my friends left the game super early, but even when alone, your videos along with the other PSO2 content creator's videos have given me enough motivation and hope for this game, even if it is in a rough spot. Do whatever makes you happy, and what you love, since you inspired others to do what they love ❤
Seeing your favorite JP screenshotters and fashion showcases would be hype. Really like your style and I've always been looking for more content about screenshotting/fashion from you. Glad you're coming back. Hope you're doing well! :)
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO NERD OUT ABOUT ALL OF MY FRIENDS THEY ARE LITERALLY THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER AND THEIR SS IS WAAAAAY TOO GOOD 😭 I can only HOPE to match half their quality tbh- but all jokes aside, I do learn so much from them, and I even wish myself that I could spend a lot more time chatting with them as well
We need more content creators like you fam, i used to watch your base PSO2 stuff back in the day, i liked the idea of crazy challenges on base cuz you don't get to see too much of that in global. Good luck in your future projects.
Azel I have watched you since 2017 and your content is so good and amazing u fr made me love this game with your vids and your design and characters. I think a fun thing would be to come over to global and do some goofy progression vids. I’d gladly help u out here on global(even tho u don’t need any😭😭)
Thanks for posting this video! I was wondering what had happened to you, and I am happy to hear of both your struggles and your future plans! And I think your English is just fine! I look forward to what you will make in the future!
Hey Azel! Good luck in your future endeavors. While NGS wasn’t for me, you were the first one to get me into pso2 and I played it all the way till NGS released.
While I wouldn't say NGS is "for me" either- I'm always happy to keep an open mind to it since it is still something that holds a special place in my heart, also thanks so much for taking the time!

Awwww yeah! Future content sounds super fun to watch, can't wait! 😄 For a challenge run, here's an idea: in base PSO2, only use dropped items from exploration quests/ARKS quests from level 1 in order to clear the story on Hardcore mode!
To make it even more flavorful as a series I should make a new chara for it too and start at lv1 LOL 😱 Though it'll definitely be beyond PAIN to do the later story missions without leveling properly Definitely a fun idea to see in the backpocket, but I'll have to see the logistics of it, as well as think of how to edit and present it to be as entertaining as tunaly possible
Nuzzlock definitely is a fun idea , I like it , something funny like those youtuber let's play of the old , fooling around with some friend on voice chat too at the same time might be good . Thought branching out to other type of content other than pso2 too seems like a good idea imo , like creating a brand around yourself or personality . recording while you do art work , or behind the scene of music making etc. everything along the way can be a content , as long as you're comfortable with revealing it .
Glad to see you back. about ideas... how about some lore videos? not only considering pso2 but phantasy star as series as whole and how it can be connected to current ngs story.
I have friends who are absolute phantasy star lore fanatics, although if you ask me honestly all I can answer you is "cute girls doing cute things" LOL
I think there could be more classic pso2 content to spicy things up cause even if it’s not fresh there’s still lots of fun things about the OG game and some people could get curious about it and it may help with the burn out
Sega is in a weird spot right now. With PSO2 standard hit had the benefit that more people played it more than the private servers. Now NGS is out people are playing PSO2, PSU , and PSO servers more than the newest.
It's hard for me to say since I genuinely don't have much knowledge of the private servers but, in the end nostalgia is quite a powerful thing, who knows what may happen if SEGA decides to remaster/remake some of the older legendary phantasy star titles like how FF7R is a thing, imagine?
You are one of the very reasons I started playing video PSO2 since I first watched your video about Hunter/Braver Hunter/Fighter with a really good background music if I remember it was the 一心不乱 / Reol(れをる)+ill.bell+nqrse Cover and It was so cool and very amazing videos you did
That's awesome! That's so far back haha Montages are a FUN one- I funnily considered to do a 10-year tribute to the Bossrush videos but, with how NGS is, it's a bit hard to do that... but nothing says I can't go back to base to try something heh
It's been a while indeed! Hope you & family been keeping well Azelyra! I'm all for what you'll be bringing to the channel at the start of next year, you've always been one of my most respected creators and individual since I started playing PSO2, so you'll continue having my support 100%! 😎
Thank you for sharin'. Your English is just fine. As someone who ONLY speaks English, I wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language, had you not said it. Appreciate your content and you vulnerability. Keep shinin'.
Dude. You're the first PSOtuber I watched and still to this day my favorite to just watch your gameplay and chill chatting or commentary. I love your characters and seeing the different characters with their different classes depending on the video, so if you wanted to make content focused on them for either base or NGS i will definitely watch those. If you stresm yourself playing and chatting every once in a while I'd watch the VODs. Also if you wanted to just talk through different topics and use your gameplay footage as bg that would also be something I'd watch. Speaking for myself but I assume for most of your audience we're here for your personality and creativity, your characters and gameplay and chill vibe. whatever you do with that whether its base or NGS I'll watch probably especially if its like 20+ minutes lol oh another idea you could also find a way to showcase the characters and flesh out their backstories i would LOVE something like that if it was longer
I thought about more character based showcases and things like that- But I haven't found the "right balance" yet of the whole thing being succinct for the gameplay/cinematic nature of it, as well added with the flavors of the character itself and its writing, or so on That aside- thank you so much for your time! I really, really do appreciate it
Quit about 6 months ago at this point and i dont miss it. Ill go back once they actually make the classes fun and interesting instead of brain dead mobile game level. Theyre just so unfun to play and also the sub class system needs a massive overhaul. Its way to restrictive and removes any creativity. Its hilarious that for a game that prides itself in how much you can customize your character, the very thing Phantasy Star has been known for over the last 20+ years which is its complex combat system, is the most uncustomizable thing ive seen in a game. Base PSO2 just has an infinitely more enjoyable combat system in basically every way possible from the class designs and even the boss design is just galaxies better.
Long time lurker here (since area/character run showcases). If you didn't say it, most people wouldn't know it wasn't native speech. Most native language speakers are the worst at it. Just relax and do what you feel like and I know I and many others will be here to watch no matter what. Tips on making non-ugly characters would be greatly appreciated.
You actually got me into pso2 when it first came out on global. From there I was inspired to do speedrunning and its still what I do to this day. Do whatever makes you happy.
If it's any reassurance, I did not know English was your 3rd language. Very much enjoyed your content as early as EP2 (good ol days) up till NGS which is a personal gripe I have with the game and community. Keeping me aside, I'm sure you're having a tough time and getting out of this slump will be very difficult, but I'll be rooting for ya Arcy!
Ever since the start of NGS, I've LOVED messing around with weird multiweapons, and I honestly feel like a total outlier to most of the player base because of how... 'middle' I've always been. I don't get a ton of time to play, but I try the best I can when I'm online, yet at the same time, I kind of appreciate enjoyment of the game beyond only the grind and optimization, but so many people are so against that, so I try hard to keep that under my hat and avoid the hardest content. Among the most fun weapons I messed with were: Tetra Saber (DS/SB), Dualblade (TMG/DS), Swagger (SW/DGR), Pugizan (KN/PRT), Soaring Hammer (WND/SB), & Talons (KN/JB). I wish there was less push-back against multiweapons because of how fun it could be to see people try to make up a fighting style for one. I'd love to be able to send in my CS, though it's on ship 3 and I'd have to un-private it or add someone to my friends list for them to be able to see it. Regardless, this new effort sounds like a lot of fun. :)
The logistics are something definitely to figure out- Also to be fair it's a PvE game, there's no real need to be extremely insane or hard optimize everything since in the end, clearing content is well, clearing content, you do it your way and that's really the beauty of it
I think your English is great o: I didn't know it wasn't your first language :v Also, thank you very much for sharing your situation with us, I know it may have been difficult. And well, good lick with everything, the only way to move is forward now! As for content, I think those are all pretty good content ideas for Videos! I think you should just go with whatever you like the most, or everything if you feel like it o: Try making videos that you think you yourself would enjoy watching as a PSO2/NGS player, but also ones you enjoy making as a Content Creator that likes the game :)
A stream where I can kick back and watch pretty characters and screenshots seem a nice time to relax, can be great if viewers can gather around in your CS when you stream about this idea in my opinion I know that u want to make unique videos but I can't help say " As long u r happy with what you r doing " I did make 2 fan-made PV videos about NGS to understand the hard work in making videos ( and already burn out, sadly) Well ... I'm looking forward to your return Azelyra. Hope u r doing fine IRL too
The difficult thing about this the fact my base is on Ship02 JP- I'm pretty positive I have a number of viewers on JP but I'm also certain over 70% are on the Global servers Regardless though, it'll be something fun to figure out I suppose haha, thank you so much for taking the time, I really do appreciate it ☆
Would love to see you inviting more community members from the ARKS community and having an interview like them like you said on the video. You nerding out with them about Phashion would be smth I would definitely watch!
As much as I'd love to nerd out with my JP SS friends on Twitter, it's definitely not something feasible for a longform content I feel (and I'd have to subtitle like everything everything which is a LOT of work) But I did wanted to do a lot more casual podcast episodes with general community members and creators, perhaps I'll revisit the idea!
Oh and I'll always support the creators who started me on base pso2 when content was coming at us at lightspeed. Also your English is always perfect man!
You know I kind of like the goofy challenges idea. I've always been into creators pushing the goofy limits of what's possible. For ngs I've always wanted to see 32 man rooms only use one kind of pa at the same time. Could maybe make for some wild glitchy moments.
I feel as well there's a lot of potential there, but we definitely never really had "that one creator" for PSO2 that really pioneered everything and inspire the next entire generation of creators so to say haha
If you want a video idea. Try 2 player phantom or luster. One person moves and dodges, the other attacks. :D good luck finding a friend that's strong enough to handle the insanity XD
I think those mess around ideas are great, maybe just have to try and see if those videos do well or not. Hope that make ppl and sega know both base and ngs is not as dead as they think.
Hey arcy. Don't worry about your openess. Sometimes it's okay to speak up and be honest with yourself. Also your english is perfectly fine. Your video ideas seems very good too. Can't wait to see them
You see it with different eyes than others. All I see is that people despite having it so easy to be connected, we're more separated than ever. All is about having more numbers instead of crafting a strong connection. You should do some base pso2 videos if you want. I will watch them (I hope I get it recomended by youtube if you do) so please enjoy it, we need our entertainer to be back in the light.
If I want the algo gods to bless me, I'll need a *VERY* consistent schedule haha I'd love to have one, but there's a lot of factors that goes into it for sure that makes it quite difficult, but I'm sure we can slowly figure things out
Apologies for the long comment but I want to say a lot. Don't worry though! I'll add my feedback about your up coming content at the end so if you don't want to read too much you still get something useful out of the comment. The ramble is really just set dressing so you can understand the feedback. I started my PS experience on the JP side of PSO2 right around Episode 4's main time. Very briefly unfortunately but what got me into the game was very simply showcase videos of PA's on different classes. It was basic video structure in JP with music and no voice overs, but the PA's just looked so cool that I wanted to try the game. The only exposure to PS before that was PSU and it didn't seem like my cup of tea (but now I enjoy it!) Once I committed to try and navigate the process of getting onto PSO2 JP I started getting interested in Fashion. Novi Katz? Probably spelled wrong but regardless it was one of the first items that caught my eye. Then before I knew it I was hours into just looking at a bunch of cosmetic item names and then searching on google to see if I could find in game screen shots of them. I was obsessed. Unfortunately because my friends at the time never stuck to their word of meeting up to play the game I felt adrift and didn't feel comfortable on my own so I just didn't try to go back to JP ever. Fast forward a bit and I started to see videos about successor/scion classes. They looked so stylish and amazing and I really wanted to play again. I never actually got around to it unfortunately until Global came around. But I do remember watching a lot of videos of said Classes. I was very into Phantom initially (little did I know It would end up being my least played one d: ) Anyway, most of my experience with content creation for PSO2 was guides. Not just the basics of a Class but advanced stuff that you'd do for specific encounters. Also some crafting. NGS wise most of my content I watch is gameplay showcases from TA communities. So similar to Classic (for endless and against bosses) but I also end up watching a lot of people showing off weapon camos and emotes. I'm much more invested into Fashion in NGS compared to Classic and that's saying something. While I never invested that much time into room creation in Classic I did dabble with it. I want to with NGS as well but I honestly feel lost on where to start and what not. But anyway that's enough about me. About your content I really do like the idea of seeing you show off screenshots as well as streams about character creation tips/processes. I'm always looking at people in towns for ideas I can try on my own. I tamper not just with items/body paint but now body types/different faces. If you were to do actual gameplay content I would definitely watch stuff like you doing duels with your class or solo/duo things like 4 man content (or Arks record stuff too!). NGS is very action oriented and I feel like we don't get enough videos showing how in depth combat can actually be. Sometimes I think it would be nice if we had longer form videos that verbally explore the depths for some of the classes, but I also think it probably just doesn't gel well with how others treat the game and I'd hate to ask someone to do something like that and have their work go un noticed. I will just continue to lurk on the fleet cord to get my fix. But yeah big supportive of character creation content, screen shot content, and gameplay content as I just mentioned. Long form content doesn't turn me away. I will say though that I don't really watch shorts. Not because I hate that YT is trying to trend like TikTok (though I do hate it,) it's more just that I see a lot of CC's try to do shorts and it feels sort of forced. When it doesn't really get the traction they want it bums them out. So if you feel comfortable doing shorts then I support your choice, I just probably won't end up seeing them since I try to hide all shorts from my timeline. Anyway I hope this was some what helpful to you. I'm glad you're back and looking energized to make more content again. I still think your Phantom guide was the best guide I've ever seen for a Class and I really like the effort you put into making your content. Best wishes to your YT content (:
Thank you so much for taking the time! The very least I can do to reciprocate is also take my time to read all the way through. Your perspective is something I completely understand and relate to, really, although the biggest issue for creators realistically really is, the effort that has to be put in vs the payoff at the end I was able to do the Phantom Guide purely off passion, but it's hard to say if that will be a goal I could do some time later down the lifetime of NGS, as I'm sure the visuals and potential of it will be out of this world if it comes to fruition- But I think the important thing I can do for now for both myself and everyone in the community is really, find "my place" here again, and after that, it's all open ended really and that's where I'm hoping to reach right now 😊
Yes effort versus pay off is a constant juggle for CCers and I totally respect it. Also I apologize, I wasn't really trying to ask/imply that you make long form guides again. More that I actually excitingly scroll in the Class channels often and even comment in them just because I love knowing about the little quirks or nuances to classes. I actually learned to both love and appreciate Force in NGS now because I took the time to read their document on it. I wish I could share/show that same sort of enjoyment about those things with others hence the guide comment. At the same time there are content creators like Kat who do a very good job of highlighting those kinds of things with gameplay and they do it all without voicing. Just really good editing and really good gameplay. So perhaps "guides" in the traditional sense are not really needed for NGS combat to resonate with others. Also I agree, do find your footing again! I'm sure whatever you land on and create I will enjoy just as much as I have with other content from you. I was very happy to see a video from you pop up in my subs again and I look forward to more!
sounds exciting to me. always nice to see a creator i enjoy watching enjoy what theyre doing, so ill always say go for it when its projects u enjoy. and do it at ur own pace
I always felt that PSO2 really has been "about the community", but we just haven't got really much of the opportunities to really SHOW OFF said community- It's a lot of untapped potential there I feel But thank you very much for your time! ☆
Sometimes it's just very easy to look at A-B-C and just do things according to fornula, but after years of it, I just really feel that kind of thing doesn't really suit me after all I'm hoping that I'll be able to stick through with everything though, I'll do my best to
I expected NGS stays the same for quite a big while, by that I mean it's untouched potential left untouched In my theory, the way SEGA see NGS is more like a subsidiary game/project now that its main purpose has already been served they take the game more slowly and doesn't really put much priority into it or whatever as long as the game was doing fine financially despites lacking in half in quality, they wouldn't deem hurry a neccessity With that in mind... I think taking a brake from a game like this once in a while is rather a healthy choice only the sane would do I mean, it wasn't that same PSO2 we all know anymore anyways, I do miss the good old day but time will only move forward...
You're quite correct on one thing- one of the very early interviews I can't remember by 4gamer or dengeki, but it was told to us that NGS is meant for players to take a break and come back to play during big patches, something like that (I'm paraphrasing)
You are one of the last pso2 people i still watch. I had a pretty bad interaction with a different creator. That plus my declining hope for the for game to reach a general state of hype has made me decide to step away. Still love to watch anything you put out i just dont know if i can justify giving pso my time and money anymore. Sorry for the bummy rant....
You're all good! ☆ People like you are actually one of the particular reason that I thought about these video ideas since you genuinely won't need to be super versed into the game, even if you've just dabbled in the past, literally just seeing fun ideas and challenges sometimes is a nice change of pace I feel haha
It's really not your fault at all, it's just because this game specifically NGS, is just such a weird mash of extremely casual and hardcore kinda game. It then makes it inconsequential to not play the game at all but at the same time most players will just have a casual mindset and will not take this game seriously as much like back in Base PSO2 or earlier titles. Azelyra doe, you are fine, you had a nice voice really, yeah it might sound awkward for you personally but compared to mine, its actually much more soothing than my coarse voice lol. But still i wouldn't be here as a Content Creator at the first place if you are not there back in JP PSO2 making content since then. Also yeah I could relate to you in video ideas but there is always that one thing i think most people just rarely does, which I had done, which is making videos using Creative Space as Prop sets and making videos using Emotes as acting. So far I've made some music videos here and there and a pilot of a visual novel like storytelling but yeah i think this is what I've decided to spend more time on when I can, but there is only so much I can do when i had half day shifts daily. Maybe that could be a nice video idea or photoshoot theme even. Thank you for expressing out yourself even if its feeling weird, I am glad you are still believing in the game. Hopefully SEGA announcing all those old IPs as remakes or remasters because of the success of Sonic Frontiers/Yakuza/Persona series can make Phantasy Star another mainline flagship live service title too someday.❤
I just always feel there's that "untapped potential" that basically no one in the content creation sphere here, and not even SEGA themselves has been able to reach yet, I always felt that it's very possible and just so close, but I never really had enough of the time and commitment to really get it to that point THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM TRYING THOUGH! also inb4 the "super game" is just Phantasy Star Universe 2 lol
Azelyra you need to know even though I cant speak for everyone that its great to see you doing okay. You've been one of my fav PSO2 content creators from base. I was really sad when you disappeared but its great to see you again. Keep your head up. And I'll follow you whatever direction you take
I've had a number of people message me because they genuinely thought I quit for good or things of that nature
I've tried keeping intouch with the community by continuously doing headline streams, but just that won't really make the algo say that "I exist" exactly haha
Thank you so much though! It really means a lot ☆
I got into pso2 because of you. A while back I saw your guides and phantom rod videos and it went from there. I've been following you for a long time now, we all like and appreciate you azelyra.
You're making my Phantom Rod Blush 😳
Thank you so much for the kind words
6:50 You definitely should do this. MORE People should do this. Because it's the biggest problem with the internet. Everyone is faking a perfect life and shows no weakness.

It would be great if everyone could be a lot more genuine sometimes on the internet 😊
Welcome back Arcy. The first step is always the hardest to take, but once its taken everything else comes much easier. I could feel the enthusiasm and passion coming back into your voice as you talked about what you wanted to do.
Also lemme out of the basement (:
lol no
Never apologize for making a video long , we are not tiktok weaklings .
Now if you want stablish a standard , thats up to you.
About your projects i will fully support them .
I also do PSO2 videos about the lore in spanish but subbed in english too .
And since NGS i have been covering aspects that i never covered in the main story videos like: races , power sources , classes background etc .
And i started that journey simply because nobody else did it.
Can only wait and see what the future unfolds
I may be late but I will say this anyway.
You are the reason I pushed forward to keep playing PSO2, and even NGS for a bit. Your guides, gameplay videos, etc, all are fun to watch.
I am a solo player in PSO2 these days cuz all my friends left the game super early, but even when alone, your videos along with the other PSO2 content creator's videos have given me enough motivation and hope for this game, even if it is in a rough spot.
Do whatever makes you happy, and what you love, since you inspired others to do what they love ❤
Seeing your favorite JP screenshotters and fashion showcases would be hype. Really like your style and I've always been looking for more content about screenshotting/fashion from you. Glad you're coming back. Hope you're doing well! :)
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT TO NERD OUT ABOUT ALL OF MY FRIENDS THEY ARE LITERALLY THE NICEST PEOPLE EVER AND THEIR SS IS WAAAAAY TOO GOOD 😭
I can only HOPE to match half their quality tbh- but all jokes aside, I do learn so much from them, and I even wish myself that I could spend a lot more time chatting with them as well
We need more content creators like you fam, i used to watch your base PSO2 stuff back in the day, i liked the idea of crazy challenges on base cuz you don't get to see too much of that in global. Good luck in your future projects.
Someone gotta be the pioneer, the one that trailblazes the way for all the other creators to come 😤
Azel I have watched you since 2017 and your content is so good and amazing u fr made me love this game with your vids and your design and characters. I think a fun thing would be to come over to global and do some goofy progression vids. I’d gladly help u out here on global(even tho u don’t need any😭😭)
Thanks for posting this video! I was wondering what had happened to you, and I am happy to hear of both your struggles and your future plans! And I think your English is just fine! I look forward to what you will make in the future!

For a challenge run, here's an idea: in base PSO2, only use dropped items from exploration quests/ARKS quests from level 1 in order to clear the story on Hardcore mode!
To make it even more flavorful as a series I should make a new chara for it too and start at lv1 LOL 😱
Though it'll definitely be beyond PAIN to do the later story missions without leveling properly
Definitely a fun idea to see in the backpocket, but I'll have to see the logistics of it, as well as think of how to edit and present it to be as entertaining as tunaly possible
Nuzzlock definitely is a fun idea , I like it , something funny like those youtuber let's play of the old , fooling around with some friend on voice chat too at the same time might be good .
Thought branching out to other type of content other than pso2 too seems like a good idea imo , like creating a brand around yourself or personality .
recording while you do art work , or behind the scene of music making etc.
everything along the way can be a content , as long as you're comfortable with revealing it .
Glad to see you back.

@@Azelyra well how about huge psotubers collab then
I think there could be more classic pso2 content to spicy things up cause even if it’s not fresh there’s still lots of fun things about the OG game and some people could get curious about it and it may help with the burn out
Sega is in a weird spot right now. With PSO2 standard hit had the benefit that more people played it more than the private servers. Now NGS is out people are playing PSO2, PSU , and PSO servers more than the newest.
It's hard for me to say since I genuinely don't have much knowledge of the private servers but, in the end nostalgia is quite a powerful thing, who knows what may happen if SEGA decides to remaster/remake some of the older legendary phantasy star titles like how FF7R is a thing, imagine?
You are one of the very reasons I started playing video PSO2 since I first watched your video about Hunter/Braver Hunter/Fighter with a really good background music if I remember it was the 一心不乱 / Reol(れをる)+ill.bell+nqrse Cover and It was so cool and very amazing videos you did
That's awesome! That's so far back haha
Montages are a FUN one- I funnily considered to do a 10-year tribute to the Bossrush videos but, with how NGS is, it's a bit hard to do that... but nothing says I can't go back to base to try something heh
It's been a while indeed! Hope you & family been keeping well Azelyra! I'm all for what you'll be bringing to the channel at the start of next year, you've always been one of my most respected creators and individual since I started playing PSO2, so you'll continue having my support 100%! 😎
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharin'. Your English is just fine. As someone who ONLY speaks English, I wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language, had you not said it. Appreciate your content and you vulnerability. Keep shinin'.
Dude. You're the first PSOtuber I watched and still to this day my favorite to just watch your gameplay and chill chatting or commentary. I love your characters and seeing the different characters with their different classes depending on the video, so if you wanted to make content focused on them for either base or NGS i will definitely watch those. If you stresm yourself playing and chatting every once in a while I'd watch the VODs. Also if you wanted to just talk through different topics and use your gameplay footage as bg that would also be something I'd watch. Speaking for myself but I assume for most of your audience we're here for your personality and creativity, your characters and gameplay and chill vibe. whatever you do with that whether its base or NGS I'll watch probably especially if its like 20+ minutes lol
oh another idea you could also find a way to showcase the characters and flesh out their backstories i would LOVE something like that if it was longer
I thought about more character based showcases and things like that- But I haven't found the "right balance" yet of the whole thing being succinct for the gameplay/cinematic nature of it, as well added with the flavors of the character itself and its writing, or so on
That aside- thank you so much for your time! I really, really do appreciate it
Quit about 6 months ago at this point and i dont miss it. Ill go back once they actually make the classes fun and interesting instead of brain dead mobile game level. Theyre just so unfun to play and also the sub class system needs a massive overhaul. Its way to restrictive and removes any creativity.
Its hilarious that for a game that prides itself in how much you can customize your character, the very thing Phantasy Star has been known for over the last 20+ years which is its complex combat system, is the most uncustomizable thing ive seen in a game.
Base PSO2 just has an infinitely more enjoyable combat system in basically every way possible from the class designs and even the boss design is just galaxies better.
Long time lurker here (since area/character run showcases). If you didn't say it, most people wouldn't know it wasn't native speech. Most native language speakers are the worst at it. Just relax and do what you feel like and I know I and many others will be here to watch no matter what. Tips on making non-ugly characters would be greatly appreciated.
ART AND BEAUTY IS DIFFERENT IN EYES OF THE BEHOLDER!
I'll see what I can do 😤
You actually got me into pso2 when it first came out on global. From there I was inspired to do speedrunning and its still what I do to this day. Do whatever makes you happy.
Thank you ! ☆
If it's any reassurance, I did not know English was your 3rd language.
Very much enjoyed your content as early as EP2 (good ol days) up till NGS which is a personal gripe I have with the game and community.
Keeping me aside, I'm sure you're having a tough time and getting out of this slump will be very difficult, but I'll be rooting for ya Arcy!
THAT'S SUCH A LONG TIME 😭
Thank you so much!
Internet Fistbump 👊
Ever since the start of NGS, I've LOVED messing around with weird multiweapons, and I honestly feel like a total outlier to most of the player base because of how... 'middle' I've always been. I don't get a ton of time to play, but I try the best I can when I'm online, yet at the same time, I kind of appreciate enjoyment of the game beyond only the grind and optimization, but so many people are so against that, so I try hard to keep that under my hat and avoid the hardest content.
Among the most fun weapons I messed with were: Tetra Saber (DS/SB), Dualblade (TMG/DS), Swagger (SW/DGR), Pugizan (KN/PRT), Soaring Hammer (WND/SB), & Talons (KN/JB). I wish there was less push-back against multiweapons because of how fun it could be to see people try to make up a fighting style for one.
I'd love to be able to send in my CS, though it's on ship 3 and I'd have to un-private it or add someone to my friends list for them to be able to see it. Regardless, this new effort sounds like a lot of fun. :)
The logistics are something definitely to figure out- Also to be fair it's a PvE game, there's no real need to be extremely insane or hard optimize everything since in the end, clearing content is well, clearing content, you do it your way and that's really the beauty of it
I think your English is great o: I didn't know it wasn't your first language :v Also, thank you very much for sharing your situation with us, I know it may have been difficult. And well, good lick with everything, the only way to move is forward now!
As for content, I think those are all pretty good content ideas for Videos! I think you should just go with whatever you like the most, or everything if you feel like it o: Try making videos that you think you yourself would enjoy watching as a PSO2/NGS player, but also ones you enjoy making as a Content Creator that likes the game :)
A stream where I can kick back and watch pretty characters and screenshots seem a nice time to relax, can be great if viewers can gather around in your CS when you stream about this idea in my opinion
I know that u want to make unique videos but I can't help say " As long u r happy with what you r doing "
I did make 2 fan-made PV videos about NGS to understand the hard work in making videos ( and already burn out, sadly)
Well ... I'm looking forward to your return Azelyra.
Hope u r doing fine IRL too
The difficult thing about this the fact my base is on Ship02 JP- I'm pretty positive I have a number of viewers on JP but I'm also certain over 70% are on the Global servers
Regardless though, it'll be something fun to figure out I suppose haha, thank you so much for taking the time, I really do appreciate it ☆
Would love to see you inviting more community members from the ARKS community and having an interview like them like you said on the video. You nerding out with them about Phashion would be smth I would definitely watch!
I fumbled my words :ded
As much as I'd love to nerd out with my JP SS friends on Twitter, it's definitely not something feasible for a longform content I feel (and I'd have to subtitle like everything everything which is a LOT of work)
But I did wanted to do a lot more casual podcast episodes with general community members and creators, perhaps I'll revisit the idea!
Oh and I'll always support the creators who started me on base pso2 when content was coming at us at lightspeed. Also your English is always perfect man!
Thank you so much! ☆
You know I kind of like the goofy challenges idea. I've always been into creators pushing the goofy limits of what's possible. For ngs I've always wanted to see 32 man rooms only use one kind of pa at the same time. Could maybe make for some wild glitchy moments.
I feel as well there's a lot of potential there, but we definitely never really had "that one creator" for PSO2 that really pioneered everything and inspire the next entire generation of creators so to say haha
If you want a video idea. Try 2 player phantom or luster. One person moves and dodges, the other attacks. :D good luck finding a friend that's strong enough to handle the insanity XD
Spoilers; I have plans to meet up with Cammy one day, and whenever that happens, I'm 110% doing this video idea FOR SURE mark my words 😤
I think those mess around ideas are great, maybe just have to try and see if those videos do well or not. Hope that make ppl and sega know both base and ngs is not as dead as they think.
If you looked in my channel, try searching the word "after hours" you'll see a few... gems 😂
Hey arcy. Don't worry about your openess. Sometimes it's okay to speak up and be honest with yourself. Also your english is perfectly fine.
Your video ideas seems very good too. Can't wait to see them
Thank you ☆
I'll try to make everything a reality !
youre the reason i try pso2 , love you video , do what you enjoy we still gonna wacth you take care .
You see it with different eyes than others. All I see is that people despite having it so easy to be connected, we're more separated than ever. All is about having more numbers instead of crafting a strong connection. You should do some base pso2 videos if you want. I will watch them (I hope I get it recomended by youtube if you do) so please enjoy it, we need our entertainer to be back in the light.
If I want the algo gods to bless me, I'll need a *VERY* consistent schedule haha
I'd love to have one, but there's a lot of factors that goes into it for sure that makes it quite difficult, but I'm sure we can slowly figure things out
Apologies for the long comment but I want to say a lot. Don't worry though! I'll add my feedback about your up coming content at the end so if you don't want to read too much you still get something useful out of the comment. The ramble is really just set dressing so you can understand the feedback.
I started my PS experience on the JP side of PSO2 right around Episode 4's main time. Very briefly unfortunately but what got me into the game was very simply showcase videos of PA's on different classes. It was basic video structure in JP with music and no voice overs, but the PA's just looked so cool that I wanted to try the game. The only exposure to PS before that was PSU and it didn't seem like my cup of tea (but now I enjoy it!) Once I committed to try and navigate the process of getting onto PSO2 JP I started getting interested in Fashion.
Novi Katz? Probably spelled wrong but regardless it was one of the first items that caught my eye. Then before I knew it I was hours into just looking at a bunch of cosmetic item names and then searching on google to see if I could find in game screen shots of them. I was obsessed. Unfortunately because my friends at the time never stuck to their word of meeting up to play the game I felt adrift and didn't feel comfortable on my own so I just didn't try to go back to JP ever.
Fast forward a bit and I started to see videos about successor/scion classes. They looked so stylish and amazing and I really wanted to play again. I never actually got around to it unfortunately until Global came around. But I do remember watching a lot of videos of said Classes. I was very into Phantom initially (little did I know It would end up being my least played one d: ) Anyway, most of my experience with content creation for PSO2 was guides. Not just the basics of a Class but advanced stuff that you'd do for specific encounters. Also some crafting.
NGS wise most of my content I watch is gameplay showcases from TA communities. So similar to Classic (for endless and against bosses) but I also end up watching a lot of people showing off weapon camos and emotes. I'm much more invested into Fashion in NGS compared to Classic and that's saying something. While I never invested that much time into room creation in Classic I did dabble with it. I want to with NGS as well but I honestly feel lost on where to start and what not.
But anyway that's enough about me. About your content I really do like the idea of seeing you show off screenshots as well as streams about character creation tips/processes. I'm always looking at people in towns for ideas I can try on my own. I tamper not just with items/body paint but now body types/different faces. If you were to do actual gameplay content I would definitely watch stuff like you doing duels with your class or solo/duo things like 4 man content (or Arks record stuff too!). NGS is very action oriented and I feel like we don't get enough videos showing how in depth combat can actually be.
Sometimes I think it would be nice if we had longer form videos that verbally explore the depths for some of the classes, but I also think it probably just doesn't gel well with how others treat the game and I'd hate to ask someone to do something like that and have their work go un noticed. I will just continue to lurk on the fleet cord to get my fix. But yeah big supportive of character creation content, screen shot content, and gameplay content as I just mentioned.
Long form content doesn't turn me away. I will say though that I don't really watch shorts. Not because I hate that YT is trying to trend like TikTok (though I do hate it,) it's more just that I see a lot of CC's try to do shorts and it feels sort of forced. When it doesn't really get the traction they want it bums them out. So if you feel comfortable doing shorts then I support your choice, I just probably won't end up seeing them since I try to hide all shorts from my timeline.
Anyway I hope this was some what helpful to you. I'm glad you're back and looking energized to make more content again. I still think your Phantom guide was the best guide I've ever seen for a Class and I really like the effort you put into making your content. Best wishes to your YT content (:
Thank you so much for taking the time! The very least I can do to reciprocate is also take my time to read all the way through.
Your perspective is something I completely understand and relate to, really, although the biggest issue for creators realistically really is, the effort that has to be put in vs the payoff at the end
I was able to do the Phantom Guide purely off passion, but it's hard to say if that will be a goal I could do some time later down the lifetime of NGS, as I'm sure the visuals and potential of it will be out of this world if it comes to fruition-
But I think the important thing I can do for now for both myself and everyone in the community is really, find "my place" here again, and after that, it's all open ended really and that's where I'm hoping to reach right now 😊
Yes effort versus pay off is a constant juggle for CCers and I totally respect it. Also I apologize, I wasn't really trying to ask/imply that you make long form guides again. More that I actually excitingly scroll in the Class channels often and even comment in them just because I love knowing about the little quirks or nuances to classes. I actually learned to both love and appreciate Force in NGS now because I took the time to read their document on it.
I wish I could share/show that same sort of enjoyment about those things with others hence the guide comment. At the same time there are content creators like Kat who do a very good job of highlighting those kinds of things with gameplay and they do it all without voicing. Just really good editing and really good gameplay. So perhaps "guides" in the traditional sense are not really needed for NGS combat to resonate with others.
Also I agree, do find your footing again! I'm sure whatever you land on and create I will enjoy just as much as I have with other content from you. I was very happy to see a video from you pop up in my subs again and I look forward to more!
sounds exciting to me. always nice to see a creator i enjoy watching enjoy what theyre doing, so ill always say go for it when its projects u enjoy. and do it at ur own pace
Thank you ☆
I think those are great video ideas! They would help to foster the culture of the game and its community. Also you're English is very good!
I always felt that PSO2 really has been "about the community", but we just haven't got really much of the opportunities to really SHOW OFF said community- It's a lot of untapped potential there I feel
But thank you very much for your time! ☆
I would love that there to many serious endgame strategies videos and news videos it would be a breath of fresh air videos focusing on the community
Sometimes it's just very easy to look at A-B-C and just do things according to fornula, but after years of it, I just really feel that kind of thing doesn't really suit me after all
I'm hoping that I'll be able to stick through with everything though, I'll do my best to
I expected NGS stays the same for quite a big while, by that I mean it's untouched potential left untouched
In my theory, the way SEGA see NGS is more like a subsidiary game/project now that its main purpose has already been served
they take the game more slowly and doesn't really put much priority into it or whatever
as long as the game was doing fine financially despites lacking in half in quality, they wouldn't deem hurry a neccessity
With that in mind... I think taking a brake from a game like this once in a while is rather a healthy choice only the sane would do
I mean, it wasn't that same PSO2 we all know anymore anyways, I do miss the good old day but time will only move forward...
You're quite correct on one thing- one of the very early interviews I can't remember by 4gamer or dengeki, but it was told to us that NGS is meant for players to take a break and come back to play during big patches, something like that (I'm paraphrasing)
You are one of the last pso2 people i still watch. I had a pretty bad interaction with a different creator. That plus my declining hope for the for game to reach a general state of hype has made me decide to step away. Still love to watch anything you put out i just dont know if i can justify giving pso my time and money anymore. Sorry for the bummy rant....
You're all good! ☆
People like you are actually one of the particular reason that I thought about these video ideas since you genuinely won't need to be super versed into the game, even if you've just dabbled in the past, literally just seeing fun ideas and challenges sometimes is a nice change of pace I feel haha
Nothing is more exciting than watching someone CREATE something they are passionate about.
Thank you ☆
Your english is good and i enjoy listening to your personal stuff
Thank you so much!☆
It's really not your fault at all, it's just because this game specifically NGS, is just such a weird mash of extremely casual and hardcore kinda game. It then makes it inconsequential to not play the game at all but at the same time most players will just have a casual mindset and will not take this game seriously as much like back in Base PSO2 or earlier titles.
Azelyra doe, you are fine, you had a nice voice really, yeah it might sound awkward for you personally but compared to mine, its actually much more soothing than my coarse voice lol. But still i wouldn't be here as a Content Creator at the first place if you are not there back in JP PSO2 making content since then.
Also yeah I could relate to you in video ideas but there is always that one thing i think most people just rarely does, which I had done, which is making videos using Creative Space as Prop sets and making videos using Emotes as acting. So far I've made some music videos here and there and a pilot of a visual novel like storytelling but yeah i think this is what I've decided to spend more time on when I can, but there is only so much I can do when i had half day shifts daily. Maybe that could be a nice video idea or photoshoot theme even. Thank you for expressing out yourself even if its feeling weird, I am glad you are still believing in the game.
Hopefully SEGA announcing all those old IPs as remakes or remasters because of the success of Sonic Frontiers/Yakuza/Persona series can make Phantasy Star another mainline flagship live service title too someday.❤
I just always feel there's that "untapped potential" that basically no one in the content creation sphere here, and not even SEGA themselves has been able to reach yet, I always felt that it's very possible and just so close, but I never really had enough of the time and commitment to really get it to that point
THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM TRYING THOUGH!
also inb4 the "super game" is just Phantasy Star Universe 2 lol
@@Azelyra Bruh if it was a sequel to Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, it'll be so cool lol.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time!
Its been a long time since you upload a new videos
It's a strange feeling, but it definitely has been a while 😅
Welcome back mate. o7
very cool
Rarran is great
Definitely a fun one ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
