Thanks for all the support on this video! Just a few updates / errors I want to cover: - HUmar isn't much of a beginner class, and is actually one of the harder Hunters to use later on! - On Ephinea now, if someone makes a party for you and then leaves, the game will revert to your ID. So if you want to play on another ID, the game maker needs to stay. - Level requirement for Ultimate on Ephinea is 80 across the board. 90/100/110 was on Sega servers.

Love how 20+ years and people are still making PSO content. Great video!
-
I just joined a couple days ago. I'm hooked for life!! I have no joke over 1000 hours in the GameCube version. BB is like a dream come true with all the new content and active player base.
-
The countless nights playing this with family and friends 4player split screen back in the day will always be comforting… love PSO man they need to port this to new consoles man.
-
I played this till my Dreamcast died when it very first came out. Haven't touched it since. Until recently, when I heard about Ephinea. Now I'm hooked all over again.
-
Some of my greatest gaming memories as a teen was playing PSO all night after getting home from hanging with friends. Countless nights passing out to music to this game 😂
-
I need to get this on my pc today. PSO 1 & 2 on xbox was a huge part of my teenage years. Im 35 now 😕
-
I'm still playing pso on the gamecube today. Here to support anyone who encourages others to play or try
-
Great video, I love that this game is still around. I probably logged 4-5k hours on GameCube across a couple memory cards, so even just hearing the music is a big hit of nostalgia. Thanks for posting!
-
Really good video! Didn't know about the menu trick. Good stuff!
-
Thanks a ton for this. I'm looking into getting into PSO for the first time and was leaning toward console versions to get the "purest" experience possible, but after watching your video I'll definitely just stick with BB. Looking forward to hopefully seeing you in-game.
-
This was an awesome guide, answered everything I had questions too, keep it up. All my questions were answered in this Vid
-
I really appreciate you making this type of content, youre really awesome
-
I remember years ago me and my friends plugging our Dreamcasts into the phone jacks at our homes and playing PSO for the first time using dial up. Everyone together, online?! What?! Every night we would play we couldn't get enough and now I get to do it all over again!
-
Amazing video! I miss this game. Loved watching through this
-
I'm thankful that my brother introduced to me Ephinea. We used to play PSO on GameCube but after more than 20 years, the console finally died.
-
