Clark, Jim, Jon and I played our last run of Phantasy Star Universe on PS2/PC tonight.

It was fun. :) We did a bunch of Crimson Beast and Lab Recovery S2 for old times' sake, since we used to grind those missions really often (back when those were the easiest of the S2s and we were like... 100 levels smaller, or something like.)

I took a whole bunch of screenshots throughout the last couple months of our PSU playing, and made sure to get plenty tonight as well. At the end of our last mission we ran around and shot missile weapons and too screenshots like they were fireworks. We also got a group pic of the veteran Guardian crew standing together looking badass: S0YL3NT-G (Clark), Furry McGrowlson (Jim), Shirai Aires (Jon), Reina Hidalgo (me).

I also made sure to get shots of Reina's room, her final stats and equipment, and even had her do some RP monologue (probably cause I'm a dork). Reina and Shirai shared a last moment together, too. It was sweet.

Jon and I have really been bummed over the imminent closure of PSU for the PC. :( We're continuing to look into replacement games.

I did a google search and found this blog page about "where do we go now from PSU?" It gives a few Korean game suggestions that look great, though I'm a little bit wary since there's plenty of Asian-made games that look very pretty but are lacking in substance...

Of the three mentioned, I'm currently favoring Tera Online. Fun selection of races and classes, and the developers are trying to make it so that all race/gender/class combinations are available. One of their selling points is also the "targetless" gameplay, in other words more like PSU where your positioning and aiming have to be done manually.

And I am SO playing female Castanic. I've wanted to play a demon chick for a while now!! But not completely sure on a class yet. (This is something my MMO group has to work out, as ideally, I'd like us to be a well balanced team like we were in PSU.)
