This is a post related to Phantasy Star Universe. This is a typical view of what a player goes through when it comes to "Player's Shop" & "Player's Storage Space".

Being that I am a regular player on PSU (Phantasy Star Universe), haha! regular.. :x lol. I decided to write a breakdown review on what goes on, daily basis maybe, or just to give out helpful tips to any kind of player on this game. New and Old.

Below is a screenshot I provided.

Most reactions I've gotten while in my character's room is:

1) "Why is it maxed money?"
2) "Lower the price, it cost too much!"
3) "Put that in a present so it looks neater!" (present for what?, I'll get back to this part)
4) "Your shop is too expensive!" (This is similar to 2, but another reason)

My reasons:

1) It's maxed money because if you seen my storage in my common box and in my regular box that my PM holds it's MAXED! I barely have enough room to hold materials and such. It's maxed because the storage can only hold ONE stack of that item. So it's easier to put in my shop as maxed money because you can stack as much as you want. An easy maneuver I learned when I could not put it anywhere else. And besides I need them for later usage.

Notes: For all you Ranger/Gunner types, Photon Charge Cosmo's is what you keep in your inventory at all times. Giga Bullet PP Save is just not enough to SAVE your guns PP. Therefore, once all guns/etc. Is pretty much out of PP, pop a PCC and BAM all your weapons are restored. So much easier than using single Photon Charge's because those can go fast especially if you're soloing a run or running missions that have more enemies in the mission that doesn't take damage well. And this is especially great when leveling ultimate PA: Killer Shot. This shot takes up so much PP your rifle (Including 10/10 grinds) is still not enough!

2) With common sense if you see items for max it's usually not for sale. And if it was, if you think about it... why would I sell healing material for so much? Ever occur that maybe it was there for storage?

Notes: I instantly will see many player's using this same method of storage usage when they have weapons that are valuable to them. 10/10's, rares, and a surplus of materials, etc. Because you seriously cannot hold more than 1 stack in your regular box that the PM holds. It won't allow it, there's 2 ways to be able to hold many stacks of thing's. That is 1. The player's shops store where you can max the item up to 99,999,999 (This is what we call a stack, the maximum capacity of meseta overall that can be held in a player's inventory, common box, or PM device storage). And 2. Where you go to any NPC shop and request delivery and stack them up in your common, however your common is even WAY SMALLER storage than your PM's storage. A PM's storage takes up 500 maximum capacity. And your common is approximately, I want to say roughly 40-50 spaces.

Picture example of what a common storage looks like if you have a stack of meseta and cannot hold more than a stack but to have it in a common box or another character's PM storage because a common mistake of leaving it on your main character's PM while someone is purchasing an item, you won't get the money, it will override it and disappear and they pretty much bought your item but you make no profit. Sounds complicated?

See picture below to see how I store my extra PA (Photon Arts - Which is used to exchange for Ultimate arts not available in regular NPS shops, and they usually cost up to 70-90 Photon's just for one move/ability).

3) Present for what? I don't come on this game to make my stuff "neat" for you. I paid for this game so why should I organize my items the way you want them? And why did you come in my room just to waste your time, not to mention leave a bulletin at that too!? Are you serious!?

Notes: I remember seeing someone with a stack of presents in their shop and you could risk buying them for a stack of money... which I don't get why you would buy a present for a stack that's just ridiculous and one of the most dumbest things anyone would ever do. Especially if you don't even know what's in it. And then here comes the complaints "I been scammed! He made me buy his present for a stack and it was a useless item!" etc. etc. I really hate seeing people go through scams, but this isn't a scam, you made that choice. A stuid choice. And about scamming.. I will get into that another time in another blog entry. :P

4) My shop is too expensive??? Then don't enter my shop cheapo! lmao. Just kidding but seriously.

Notes: See, I'm very nice to people. So I don't even blacklist or boot a person for immaturity. But at a certain extent yes. And it's so rare that if I did... then it must've been really bad!!! :( lol. So yeah, the only thing expensive in my shops are actually the ones that ARE CONSIDERED EXPENSIVE. PSU'S "Economy" is very horrible. So... maybe in another entry I'll explain why, and so on. But back to expensiveness. I don't know why people waste time entering shops and not being able to afford the item but sit there and complain to the player that is selling it. Some player's (like me :P) are very lenient and will actually lower the item's price. But sitting there and picking fights and such, what's the point in that and what do you get out of it? Which is why I can see why people are booted from rooms or blacklisted, etc.

And there you have it! Just a simple breakdown.. and my thoughts about it and a small tip about making extra storage since PSU's storage just isn't enough! Especially for player's than actually keep thing's for future needs and meseta (money) space!
