Hey! I'm the owner of Clementine and I'm glad you found some nostalgia with PSU, great video, keep up the content my man
Awesome, great server! I've reviewed a few private servers over the years, this one has been the best. Drama free. You wouldn't believe some of the private servers i've seen and the corruption and drama that goes on lol.
Well done! and thank you!
WE LOVE YOU!
Is it possible to add some support for mac?? I wanna play so bad but only have a macbook😭
@@dorien_rose possibly you can use wine? i saw peoples playing clem on steamdeck wich is not windows based
Oh wow you're the owner of clementine, hi, nice to meet you. I gotta ask you this, can you guys make pso2 classic private server at some point in the future. My first phantasy star experience was pso2 and i fell in love with it. No matter what game i play after i played pso2 nothing can scratch that itch if you know what i mean. Yes pso2 classic is still online along with pso2ngs but the classic is basically dead and sega turned it into a dlc now basically and probably keeping it just for nostalgia reasons. I miss the good old times. I just love the pso2 classic combat, nothing feels even remotely close to it. Wish there was a dedicated pso2 private server with the old original graphics and all the cosmetics and fashion items can be grinded as drops from various quests that would be so sweet. Anyways thx for all the dedication and hard work behind clementine, you rock.
If only sega had as much love for the phantasy star series as fans do
So facts my guy
Why won't they port pso 1&2 to the Nintendo which and make it online again. So many of us would play it.
60 fps,360 movement,modernized controls,new servers boom done@@simonmilner
Some of my fondest gaming memories come from playing the demo they offered of this game on the Xbox 360.
I remember messing with that now and then after we moved on from the PS2 version but never got back into it. Not until now. 360 days were really the end of the golden age of gaming imo. I mean that in a positive way, towards the end of the consoles life cycle things grew stale and more greedy, but for a while it was peak gaming.
I still say the PS2-360 online era was the best time.
Demo days was fun as well
Omg, I played the crap outta the online demo, then I eventually bought the full version, and got the subscription, to this day, no game comes close to how I felt playing this game with friends and my clan.
convincing my dad to pay $10 a month was a core memory lol
Being quite honest, nostalgia is my favourite drug. But even knowing that, recently i have just really been so sick of so many things in media in general, that i have found myself doing very much the same. I have been playing a snes game i always said "someday", finishing reading that old manga i had a few random volumes, and every now and then i have started watching gundam, which just sounds insane to me, i always felt so afraid of starting because its so much stuff. And now im here thinking.. why was all that fear? Why be sad because a fantastic show is insanely long? And of course is because of the noise and the fomo. And then we realize that this is really what just ruins our enjoyment with everything.
I really share the feelings expressed in this video and i think this act of deliberately slowing down and choosing to go back and truly appreciate something we might have missed is a very very valuable thing, and i loved to hear your experience.
I myself always wanted to try the old PSO games. I have played the first alone for a bit with those offline private server versions, and i loved it, the control scheme is very simple but super engaging, the vibes/aesthetic/ost are SO on point, but i think its a game worth experiencing with other people. I would love to check it out, or universe for that matter.
Anyways i wrote way too much. Appreciate the video, have fun in your adventure man! and whoever reads this. I hope yall gonna be able to breath a bit and trult appreciate what you are into at the moment.
Great comment, i read it all. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm glad this resonated with people, it's definitely a good thing to slow down and check out things we missed. Too bad we don't get enough time to consume it all lol.
Also yeah, the aesthetics and overall sound design was always strong with Phantasy Star. Sega was always realIy good with their OST's and sound, loved how games like Toejam & Earl and especially Streets of Rage sounded on the Genesis back then.
i'm a huge fan of PSO, but i completely missed PSU and i've never got to trying it. i'm downloading it right now based off this video. looks right up my alley!
Im so in! So true about that music. I was their on the last days on PSO on Dreamcast. I was there on the last days on Xbox 360 on PSU. I want it back and its about time I go back! Thanks for sharing man. Getting some of my buddies who also love the Phantasy Star experience to come along with me.
Heck yeah buddy! Hope you guys have a blast.
They bring back psu to the Xbox one and ps5 the world will be more happier
I honestly miss this game so much! If they remade this game and just updated it overall this game would blow up, So many great memories I got on PSU like just the world alone was truly amazing I'ma probably join this server maybe I'll even make some videos on this game as well like you have, I wanna get this game hyped up again maybe sega would return to this and bring it back in the future who knows. GREAT video btw!
My first Phantasy Star game was PSU and I've been in love with the series since that very moment I played the Xbox360 demo, I understand it had its flaws and people did looked down upon it but in the end what stays is your memories and experiences about those days.
I even look back and see how flawed PSO2 was, but also how many things evolved from the previous series such as PSO/PSU/PSPo/PSZ, and all those beautiful moments I shared with my teammates which I still keep in contact with. Now I'm having a good time playing NGS now, it certainly broke away from the classic formula of having a Hub world and dungeons to crawl but everthing else but the essence and sense of cooperation it's still there.
I can't cap, PSU was a different time for me as well. I'll never forget that room music. And the hot springs were packed!
Awesome video! PSU was my introduction into the Phantasy Star series. Never had Internet growing up, so I played the multiplayer mode alone. It's great to see that the fans are keeping such an amazing game alive. Makes me feel like I'm 12 all over again ❤
I lov psu. My fav parts are the art, sound, advanced classes/weapon variety, and mags/combat mags
MAGs were 100x better than “Partner Machines”, which took up one of the 6 available player slots, and only one player could have out at a time.
No need for new expensive titles, the older ones are just good enough. The right price and the right stuff inside to enjoy.
Amen to that!
Man making me want to get back on PSU lol. I spent a whole summer as a kid playing it and put like 300 hours on it and it’s just such a good fucking game man.
I love PSU. The Clem servers have been amazing since day 1
Yeah everyone is really chill here.
When you look at even what was considered medicore at the time of release and then go back to play these games compared to the gaming industry of today, they are pretty much amazing games that we may have been too harsh at the time to review. Psobb and PSU for Pc is incredible. PSU has me hooked from clementine and the ultima server for psobb.
I know how it feel bro first day i got my gamecube it was Christmas 2000 me and my brother got same game and gamecube. We both fell in love with the game. The music is what brings me back to thinking on it its phenomenal. To this day even 2024. I never played online but i never got bored and ive been playing it for 24yrs
So you were ahead of time and space: Gamecube release has been November, 18th 2001 in North America.
I played psu when it came out and online before the first expansion. I dropped maybe 200 hours into and loved it (coming from pso) I made friends with with people from another country and they all knew each other irl. They would communicate via phone and a girl playing a petite cast would never talk because she played on ps2 without a keyboard and her friend would talk on her behalf and she would emote in agreement. It felt like a story element and I loved it. I went to make a new character and created over it. I made the mistake of using the same name so I ignored the warning messages. I was heart broken and gave up after that.
That sucks 😭
Scrolling through your recent uploads definitely emphasizes your point about how you’d lost a lot of your interest in gaming these days. I’m real far to the left (so I’m definitely not your target audience for that content), but I’m genuinely happy you managed to find an old gem like this and have a good time. Getting older really sucks and nostalgia is my drug of choice.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug! Got a BIG episode in the works now for EQOA connecting occult and ancient religion. Might be interesting to you.
Oh and my target audience is any who has an ear to hear. Everyone is welcome to listen.
God bless.
I was actually considering streaming this, now I'm certain! Great video!
You totally should, thanks!
im so glad pso fans are keeping these games alive
mann 2007 was peak. psu made my highschool years less shitty
Man, you are so right about everything you said. I wish i could go back and just give a few things one more try
PSU was one of my first MMO I played online for real on XBOX 360. I missed it a lot. I played PSO2 since its closed beta in japan, but I didn't get the same feeling... I'm happy to see people interessed to go back or discover PSU the first time.
I miss bumming around on the 4th floor watching Slasher argue with Celeste kek
Sad part of a server from a mmorpg shutting down, atleast from IMO sucks its sad af man, I was getting out of high school when PSU shut down and I played that game everyday for years. Like its a home where alot of us could escape life and meet awesome folks. Hell I met a girl (story time) online who went to a HS 20 miles from me LOL. (nothing came of it ofc) but its upsetting man like we have to go find a new home and thats the rough part, Ive been trying to find a home for over 10 years nothing compares or comes close to the time or fun Ive had in PSU. Now ive been lucky to been playing Runescape since 2006 and Still to this day log in but I always catch my self trying to fix this itch of PSU.. Alot folks were like ya get into PSO2 jp did that it was great for a little but didnt last, I even gave PSO2NG a try and I wont lie that game looks amazing, but its trash. I cant believe anyone who played and I mean really played pso posbb, psu, pso2 tell me its a better game.. that game is embarrassing to even have Phantasy star in its title. But ofc thats all IMO..
Great video worthy of a sub man. thanks.
Yeah it's always a bad feeling when an online game kicks everyone out lol. Monster Hunter 1 and Metal Gear Solid 3 Online were my initial taste of what that feels like, and i hated it then as much as i do now. So when private servers and things like xlink kai came around i was pretty hyped.
The only downside is the numbers never go back up to where they were prior to shut down, at least, it's really rare. But it's better to have a dedicated and small community server than nothing at all. As for PSO2 i messed with it for a few minutes a when it launched in the West FINALLY... but by then i was kinda over it. I was hyped to get it here and signed a petition and everything lol. But years ticked by and i just moved on.
I plan to mess with it eventually, but Genesis doesn't interest me, and the file size is a real pain in the arse because of it so it's like a dead weight on my hard drive just to access PSO2. Once i get my fill of PSU i'll likely spend more time with PSO and PSP2I. I think most modern renditions of older games are hot garbage, so it's not just you. A lot of it was lightning in a bottle, and a lot of it was changed so drastically in attempt to appease "modern' audiences and just falls flat imo.
Thanks for the sub, watching and taking the time to comment. It really helps with visibility in search results.
@@EQOAnostalgia The thing is "Base Phantasy star online 2" is way better than "Phantasy star NGS2" which is its flawed Sequal." "Base Phantasy Star Online 2" has way more content, and people are still playing it, and it has an amazing story all the way to Episode 5 . I jump between from "Base Phantasy Star Online 2" to "Phantasy Star Universe Clementine" due to the complex builds both games.
This game got me beyond addicted.
Omg played this on the 360 fell in love with this game,🖤
You should totally come back! 😀
I wish I don't even have a PC at the moment,😹 only switch at the moment,🥺
So happy someone is talking about this game again. I've recently started playing clementine myself again years later.I played psu from 2007 to the shutdown in 2012. Hopefully clementine can get the story mode going in the future. FYI Episode 3 had alternate endings that you had to do special things get access to. Myself wished I recorded more of the alternate endings but I do have the Magashi/Viviene copy cast ending on my channel in my psu playlist from back in the day for anybody who wants to see it.
I never did beat it, the story mode didn't interest me since i had to play as Ethan and couldn't make a random character lol.
I wouldn't mind another crack at it.
There is a great playlist of a Playthrough of Episode 3 PSU from MakotoTsuguri. I never played it unfortunately but I had a great time watching it all when I had the time. ua-cam.com/play/PL93D0F6402F931FF5.html
scamming was huge in 360 psu. I was a little shit and ran around with other middle schoolers scamming people 2x our age for meseta. The gotcha machine from casino had glitched text so people could not see the spin cost to play when it launched. core memories, got scammed once in PSU and now I never fall for IRL scams almost 20 years later.
i remember reading pso-world as a kid and being jealous japan got all the good events and we had delayed release.
machine gun glitching was another core memory haha.
from seabed s2 to white beast s3, time flies
In a funny way I didn't care that much about PSU back when it came out (I had a Sega hiatus) and then I decided to replay PSO around 2010-2011 then on Schtserv in 2012.
It took me 2017 to try PSO2 on the Japanese server with the launcher but then I preferred to replay PS Portable and ultimately try PSU and AotI on PC.
I feel like PSO2 Classic is also finding some Newfound appreciation when New Genesis exists.
I need to get into PSU. I played a little couple months back. Been working on my own PSO server for fun testing on multiple devices.
PSO2 base is great but NGS is pretty boring. Doesn't feel like Phantasy Star at all.
0:55 another odd synchronization i didn't edit in or plan out lol.
@@theexile4694 Yeah, happens all the time lol. I just keep pointing it out.
I remember being like 13 or 14 and playing the demo for the 360. Played it so much but I wish I had the game. Gonna give that private server a shot.
I was 7 and absolutely loved it
Yeah. PSP2I is AMAZING! I love the games and the Universe sub-subseries is my favorite in the franchise.
Fantastic video man, found a physical copy of psu today. Haven’t played it before but seeing it brought me back to playing pso with my older brother on our GameCube when we were kids.
Thanks man, yeah a lot of people played couch co-op PSO thanks to Gamecube. It's great how it worked for both online and just local co-op play.
I bought an imported copy of phantasy star portable 2 infinity back in like 2011-2012. I tried to play the game in japanese but it was too much.
I heard early on there was a fan english patch in the works as soon as sega said they werent going to localize it, which is why i bought it and waited. Then i forgot about it. Looked at my old copy of it while cleaning my old games shelf recently and lo and behold im here now and the patch was finished in 2020.
I absolutely LOVE this game so much. It was and will be always be the first PS2 game I have played. I'm feeling saddned and disappointed that there's no version of it on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. If Star Ocean First Departure and Second Story as well as Final Fantasy XI can receive updates in both speed and no time limit to doing any missions then Phantasy Star Universe and its sequels should also have that too
Great game fosho!
Im 27 and my big bro showed me PSO on gamecube. Totally still my favorite game. Blew right past psu when i was a kid i heard rumors oh you only get one weapon, which was bullshit lol. Recently pickedup psu and im loving it
It had a really rough launch, not surprised the rumor mill was unfavorable. The sub fee also didn't make much sense. But Clementine is on fire right now. Best part, no sub fee lol.
I do love that the PSO community has kept the game alive ever since the official dreamcast servers went down. I have very fond memories of connecting to schthack server over dialup long after I was no longer able connect to the offical.
It's also what allowed me to finally experience version 2. Although ver1 was free to access online, ver2 required a monthly subscription. As a teenager at the time, I did not have my own credit card to use to pay for a subscription. Remember too, that this was well before the days of common place subscriptions for your regular entertainment. My parents found the idea laughable that I would have to both purchase the game, and then continue to keep paying to be able to play that game. In some ways I still think that as well, but as an adult I both understand why my parents did not want to include that fee in their monthly budget, and I also understand that there are operating costs that come with maintaining an MMO. I guess thats why WoW was such a juggernaut for so long. If you had to sub to a game, WoW offered a very robust experience. It was then and still is now very hard to balance playing various subscription based games because generally each one requires your dedication. Console MMOs were also still in their infancy, and so I think that played into PSUs lack of long term success as well. Still, as long as there are passionate fans I believe there will still be PSO
I loved playing PSU back in the day, Do you have a discord? I'd be down to talk about he bible and end times while playing that and vr chat
Thanks for making this video
I was in a similar boat
I was a huge PSO episode 1 & 2 fan on gamecube.
I never gave universe a try and I regret it a lot. You encourage me to play it now.
this definitely feels like a game you have to hate before you learn to love it
just subbed to you bro, thank you for this video
It was my pleasure, thanks for the support bro.
Ive been playing PSP infinity and have been loving it. I feel like it has the most variety in the whole series since it's the last one before PSO2. Does universe hold up to that one?
Probably not in terms of features, weapons etc. But it's still fun.
@@EQOAnostalgia in your opinion, which game has the most variety of map design?
PSP infinity is the most complete experience of the PSU design of phantasy star games. Which is why the lack of localization was such a burn to the fans. It's the swan song of the PSU era.
i've put 40 hours into it, completing story and doing missions haha. it's my jam. I just cant get the online working yet, but I know there's people that still play it.@@jprec5174
When PSO2 came out that’s when things went down hill. All I can do is look back at my photos and videos. I would log in to private servers only to remember the days like looking at your garden but not to really play.
Yeah that happens to us all i think. We still have the attachment but not the drive to play like we once did.
I haven't played Clem for a bit, been messing with FO4 heavily modded, then onto Starfield. I'll likely go back and put another 100+ hours into it.
It's a lot of fun.
Man. I loved PSU and AotI back in the day. I played them so much. Not quite to the level of PSO, but close.
My only real complaint is also the Mag/Partner Machine system. By the time you can take them along on missions, you're strong enough that you totally don't need their help.
I think our taste in games change over the years. I had a similar experience with the .hack games, did not like it but 20 years later I love it.
I DO love PSU and the sequel and the psp versions I wish I could play the 3rd episode that was online only thank God for UA-camrs that recorded it
Because new games are engineered from a neuroscience perspective to be ultimately addicting, but since the subscription model is dead they figure they can milk players for costumes and p2w elements. Everything is owned by advertisers and e eventually gives in to being bought out or it fails and can't compete enough to stay afloat. So people who enjoy the content and not just the newest hype, mmo, grafx, etc. Go back to why we fell in love with games. Today's media is engineered for profit not made out of passion.
Dan bell dead mall series? Always great to see
I never got to play this game, so I might try it soon!
Great game, also recommend EQOA if you like oldschool MMORPG's. ua-cam.com/video/_nArNoeisGw/v-deo.html
Yeah man it’s sad man. To have a good fulfilling gaming experience I have to go out and buy a 20 year old Dreamcast and PSO1 which is 20 years old. We should be playing games that make these games feel like they suck ass but it’s the other way around. It’s sad man.
P.S.U was a big part of my childhood.
I had a dream that the developers remade the game for today. I couldn't help to come back and look around hoping it might be true.😅
I wanna play this so bad but the launcher is broken for me and nobody seems to be able to help, even in the discord :( I'm so devestated
Showing some support! God bless!
Thanks! God bless.
Btw I downloaded pso2 classic ( idk if I like ngs) having a blast. Tyvm sir for bringing this to my attention. I will have to try this private server as well.
Only good thing about PSO 2 NGS? The Creative Space.
It was an amazing game ; the problem was the hacking
Always has been a problem with Phantasy Star.
I love psu played 1+2 game on ps2 and psu one on xbox 360 had no internet though so no part 3 played psu portable 1+2 loved both
The biggest problem with PSU was the issues when they ported it to Steam and it had a coding flaw that was bricking peoples hard drives. Permanently corrupting sectors on drives at least. The bad press from that kind of killed any momentum that the game had.
That stinks. Back then i was strictly a console gamer. 360 was always bumping, i remember they had a free trial thing where you could play and it would reset your level or some such. It was kind of like an Xbox version of Playstation Home for a lot of people lol. Very populated but the game had a really rocky launch even for consoles.
Hearing that it bricked hard drives on PC helps make sense of why it failed across the board. It's a real shame. As it stands now Clementine is a lot of fun, with added content. Highly recommend.
I believe actually that was pso2jp and global not psu. there was a major issue like that on jp side. in its early years. psu was never on steam
Can't edit dang youtube. Gonna say lost my teen years playing pso. Got with a woman after server shut down of eqoa. Regret it she was so toxic couldn't do anything she didn't beach me out for. Been single 20 years now i don't regret that choice. See you online
HAHA this entire time since i discovered your channel (maybe a few months ago now while looking for stuff on EQOA (a game ive never playedLOL)) ya just cant shake the "WOW overshadowed and still overshadows everything" so it's good that you mention it. and me over here, played WOW over other online stuff and never really played too much other stuff online
and i play on Turtle WOW nowLAL
i have a night elf named Aircheck
WoW was fun up to a point, but the community was always super aggressive and the way society made it into the end all be all... i don't get it. Up til Wrath i can understand. Beyond that you would think someone would try to innovate the genre again or do SOMETHING. Battle Royale was the only thing to really push against the WoW culture.
Dude, they're making a Snake Eater remake 😳 I hope you make some vids!!!
@@theexile4694 Most likely lol.
Man I miss this game
Hop on and play.
to bad the episode 2 can only be played offline on the ps2 or pc, the 360 version (my favorite)can only be played offline
Yeah it's a drag man. I have to have a seperate version to play the story mode. It's all good though.
my dude feels bad u missed out on psu it was a great game also i play the pso2 and the pso2 ngs game i just wish the clementine server came to xbox one also to playstation the odds of that not good
awesome video, feel like i need to go back and play now
Pso 1&2 best game ive ever played besides skies of arcadia
Is there an active player base online today?
Yes
omg, my childhood, i need to play this an make friends on it ;u;
Easy to do on day 1, really friendly community just like back in the day.
I'm on ultima. And I'm playing clem. Eric on both
Human on psu. HUcast on BB. hope to see you
Do I need just PSU or do I need the DLC version: PSU: Ambitions of the Illuminus?
The latter.
Cool Video!
You might like Mabipro
What game is that shown @3:36 mark?
EverQuest Online Adventures. A playstation 2 MMO.
I miss this game so bad xbox360 days i used to live in this game lol #TeamCast
I loved the shit out of psu online im currently playing pso2 and it’s nowhere near as fun. Maybe because im older maybe because it’s not 2007 anymore.
Yeah a lot of it is because nothing really has that WOW! effect on us anymore. It stinks, but games are kind of a diminishing returns thing.
Also, games lack a lot of the heart and soul they once had. Devs used to be really, really creative and innovative. Now it's just going through the motions mostly, to please investors.
the field lobbies were pure kino
Can i have more then one version of blueburst downloaded? I like ultima but curious about sandbox mode in ephinea. Lol yes for the cheats ive played every single version of pso legitimate. Time to have fun. On ultima im level 87 as of today
Not sure.
I hear you man going to be 39 in Jan where the fud did the time go. I personally have up on MMOs in general, much like you said micro transactions and the toxicity these days is unreal.
Yeah i'm just getting too old for the toxic bs that surrounds games like WoW. I have no time or patience for it. I just want to enjoy myself when i play games, idk what the heck happened to people.
That honestly is enough for me to quit most online gaming these days, but then you couple that with how trash the industry has been. I nearly quit too lol.
This definitely isn't the way i saw things trending, it was supposed to get better.
WAIT ONLINE SERVERS?? PSU has online servers still???????
okay so like clementine is any console??? PC only?? sorry im mad late on this
PC only i think. PSO has console support. PSU might?
Lol level 107 now. Will try clem later
I gave PSU a try two years ago. I Love PSO on DC. But PSU is Grey, the output from PS2 sucks. I could Not make my own character. The story is boring. Its offline. So I went back to PSO on DC. Sorry.
You didn't play PSU Online, you booted up the story mode lol. BIG difference.
. Might dress down. An Anchorage broker
This game killed me. Uber rare drops were way too rare in PSO 1/version 2.0. Then this comes along...and never found anything good either. Found almost nothing good because it seems you had to MAKE everything in your little machine in your apartment/room. Not a fun loot system at all.
Woke crap? Lol calm down.
Do you even know where wokeness comes from? You don't think this is a natural progression do you?

Yes, i'm not for woke ideology because i understand the fruit thereof. It brings destruction, and it's meant to. I can explain it, and have, in detail. It's not what people think it is.

@@EQOAnostalgiaEw, you know what's bad about woke crap? Putting politics where it's not wanted or needed. Guess what you are doing? Otherwise it's a great video :(
I remember the multiplayer being playable with silver xbox membership, why was that?
You had to sub for $10 so they let you into a trial that reset your progress weekly or so if memory serves.
@@EQOAnostalgia i still find it weird that it was the only mp game that worked with silver accounts, i wonder if there were others
