Final Phantasy Star?

Would be even better if PSO2 got an NA release.

Not so sure about that one, because except for having Miku singing in the game the rest got old extremely fast for me. orz

So in this case I have to say having vanity costumes and weapons from PSO2 would be the best deal.

I'd rather SEGA went bonkers and made a Ryu ga Gotoku x XIV collaboration instead. Bonus points if we got to play a FATE quest chain with Kiryu and Majima no niisan. :P

CROSSOVERS ARE BAD! (Sarcasm)

2.1 should be fun

@DarkStaoneDragon

Its just rumor and wishful thinking at this point.

I know how you feel, I'm still bitter myself at how non-JP players got shafted. But even with the hackers and the shoddy treatment Sega gave NA/EU I have fond memories of PSO/U and I made some of my dearest friends through those games, something Sega can't take away from me.

I wouldn't worry about SE pulling a Sega when it comes to their handling of the game, we all get the same content at the same time regardless of region and though there's much room for improvement they still do it better than Sega.

As someone who's played pso2 for over a year, you don't want that turd fanservice simulator touching this game.

If we're talking the original pso from sonic team though, that's a completely different story. Most of the main characters died in pso so your typical dark falz attack fate would probably work, Flowen & Rico outfit, classic pso weapons etc.

I'd leave this game in a heartbeat.
I played the JP ver. for a bit.
God, it was SO fun! Too bad I can't read JP for crap.
-Sigh;

PSU was my first real MMO. I had hundreds of hours of fun in that game, but then I went on to other games and found out how truly utterly bland the game was.

[Gilraen]

I've heard about it, but I'd like some more details on it.
Why so JP only?

It's from the bygone days of Dreamcast with the original PSO. In the States it's online component was free. This was not Sega's idea, it was Sega of America's idea. In Japan players had to pay $9 to play online. This, by itself, wasn't appreciated but also wasn't punished (much). No, the straw as it were, was what US players did with their games. Cheat disks were plentiful at the time and many players found ways to alter the game with them. US players, though, took it to levels of low I've not seen since. That is what pissed off Sega. Ever since then US players have been getting the shaft on the series, from higher fees on Ver.2 to releases often a year after the Japanese. Now with PSO2... we don't even have a rough estimate of a release date. Sega's grudge runs deep.

PS1-4 FTW!

I loved Phantasy Star IV a LOT...

I also enjoyed Phantasy Star Portable, Portable 2, Universe, 0...

If there was a Collaboration, I would truly hope they work on some cross-game lore...

[Raminax]

I was slightly upset when I read the articles and found no mention of the old Phantasy Stars on the Sega.

Well, except for III. That one sucked.
