In today's video we revisit PSO: Blue Burst and look at what awaits players in the game's final difficulty, Ultimate mode. I'll go through how the game changes in this difficulty, explain a few strategies I use to make things easier and a basic overview of how the mid-end game of PSO works.

Just an admin note: When I talk about the sorcerers (at around 7mins), I'm referring to the visual differences. They do attack completely differently!
