Phantasy Star Online

[Faedeur]

Does anyone here play Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II, Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution, or Blue Burst? I play all three; Blue Burst on the private server.

For those who don't know what PSO is, it is a futuristic RPG. It was the first ever console-based game able to play online. You are a hunter, ranger, or force hired by the government of the interstellar space ship Pioneer 2 to figure out the mysteries of the planet Ragol and what happened to the first ship, Pioneer 1. You use a wide variety of weapons, armors, and MAGs to fend off monsters and explore various regions and the depths of Ragol.

Well i had Phantasy star online EPISODE I& II two years ago, but my dreamcast wont read it
so i sold it away.
That game is one of the best games that i have ever played.

Maybe the lens got worn. Ep1&2 can do that to a GC. Just need to clean the lens. If it is for DC, not entirely sure.

I wish I've played them, I played some universe on my 360, and it was pretty good.

A friend who was living with me for a while played co-op with me, I didn't get very much into the game but I has enjoyable and an interesting game from a technical standpoint on the evolution of MMORPGs.

I used to seriously chum that game!
Although, nowadays I get bored of it too easily, it's really just the same thing with a little more difficulty on the offline.

Does this have anything to do with Phantasy Star Universe?

[insanity76]

And to follow up Ember Incubus' question .. is it storywise related to the original PS series from the Sega Genesis? I loved that series, but never got into PS Universe or Online.

@insanity76 Well, PSU was about three planets who once lived in peace but now are in war. There is four races. Newman, Human, Beast, and whatever those living robots are called. The game revolves around a boy named Ethan. Is the original anything similer?

I used to play Phantasy Star Online with my three friends on their Gamecube. LOVED that freakin game. When I got Xbox Live on my 360 I played the demo version of Phantasy Star Universe which was a lot of fun, but I never ended up buying it.

Well the first part is but other than that, not really ... the original PS series was about a 3 planet solar system called Algo, but during PS2 the first planet "Palma" was destroyed, leaving only the other 2 planets "Motavia" (Desert planet) and "Dezolis" (Ice planet). The races were Palmans (which were basically human), Motavians, and Dezolisians, though there was a pair of Numans in PS2, which were basically genetically created by the Palmans. They were never at war among themselves, but every 1000 years their struggle was against Dark Force who was behind the goings on in each of the 4 games (though he was only the final boss in PS1 and 3).

I actually had no idea that there were any Phantasy Stay games older than PSO1&2, that was certainly an enlightening post.
