PSO for Dreamcast was a fun online game I played with a friend alot. It definitely had it's negatives, like the fact it was such a small world, only like 5 main bosses with 3 little stages leading up to them. Then they actually charged a subscription price for the little expansions and sequels they made, which I never played and would have never paid for.

This game just looks kinda trashy graphically though, for a game coming out in 2013/2014. And if it isn't a full open world this time, I don't see it doing too well.

It looks great, and since when does a games graphics determine how a game plays? Also its free to play so I see this doing very well regardless of it not being open world.

Who said the graphics determine how the game plays? I said the graphics were trashy for a game releasing after 2013. It being f2p should help it though, because I still can't understand how they had the nerve to make it a subscription based model in those iterations that came out after the original PSO on Dreamcast, because it was such a small game overall.

If it does well then good for them though, I have nothing against them, and Phantasy Star was a great RPG series back in the way older Sega days. I just wish it felt more like a full RPG, instead of this hub with a few different repetitive stages to go to. Hopefully they've fixed that up with this one and made it alot more expansive.

It still runs on DX9. For the VITA the graphics are decent for a handheld but on PC it could be much better.

Can't wait to see all the comments of how this needs to come to NA already.

WoW is a mess and it will continue to be a mess. Still, the less-developed MMOs are going to have trouble gaining a fan base because they lack content right now. Even if people do flock to FF14 or BDO, they'll go back to WoW if they fix enough features or give players a shred of hope.

Didn't know people still played this game

Fewer people for certain but still a lot of people.

gleepot1000d ago

Nah, I'll keep playing the game with the millions of other people. The writing on the wall says "game is not dead" even though people have claimed it is for 15 years.

Jiub1000d ago

I'd guess that people are going to filter out but then come back for the next expac when the turmoil is over. I do worry about content delays, though.
