A player using a skin for Baranz Launcher to recolor it blue.

Skins are visual modifications to Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst that change how something looks in game. These modifications are local only, meaning that only the player who has installed the skin will be able to see it, while all other players will still see the original look.

Skins can modify everything in game, but some popular examples of skins are:

  • Character costumes
  • HUD
  • Areas

Skins are installed by placing the skin file in the appropriate location in the game files. For all skins listed here, they will be installed by extracting the downloaded archives into the main Ephinea folder.
