Phantasy Star Zero is as easy to get into as every other iteration of the series. Once you've selected your character, you're thrown into the main 'hub' city to fend for yourself. It's here that you can pick up new missions which invariably send you burrowing deep into the many massive areas the game offers, buy and sell equipment to improve your stats and, most importantly, meet other like-minded adventurers.
Obviously, playing the game offline sets you down a story-led path where the people you meet and ultimately explore with are all preset. Take it online, however, and the word 'teamwork' takes on a whole new meaning.
Man, Phantasy Star can be confusing. There are so many different kinds of games in this series, but they all get tossed under the same umbrella. The oldest games are turn-based RPGs. The newer ones vary between MMOs and action-RPGs. Wouldn’t it be nice if things were simplified...
Phantasy Star online episode 1 and 2 is one my all time favorites. Just make that better...
What I need to know is when is Sega going to make and release Phantasy Star 5. All I need to know.
Even if they did, then i doubt it would be released outside of Asia. We haven't had a Phantasy Star game since Phantasy Star Portable 2, and that was 7 years ago !
I don't know why, but Sega seem's to have abandoned the west when it comes to Phantasy Star.
Pretty much. You would think that sequels to some of their franchises or remasters of games like Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue, Headhunter, Virtual On online, Jet Set Radio, etc would make them some easy cash as digital titles. Even VR titles of Virtual Cop, HofTD or even something crazy like Crazy Taxi VR. Nope. The Sega I knew just isn't there.
Maybe Sammy has them on a tight leash and just uses their assets for Pachinko games like Konami does. It's a shame being a Sega game fan but no Sega games to look forward to.
Seriously though! When I first saw this I thought I missed an announcement or something. I thought it was to prep people up for the next game. Damn
"Phantasy Star Online 2 (GameCube, 2012)"
May want to change that to (PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Android, PC and iOS, 2012)
I need to know when the fuck SEGA is gonna wake up and make a full on PSO 3 with the unreal 4 engine or some shit so I can get lost in the best god damn futuristic world with my pet mag as their god-tier PSO themed music blasts my ear drums forever and ever.
Wake the hell up SEGA, the time is NOW!

We have now reached the third week and third set of ten DS titles. By the conclusion of this piece, we'll be more than halfway through this exhaustive list. If you somehow missed a previous part, check out Part One and Part Two. When all of your preparations are complete (and you remember that list contains North American releases only), feel free to begin perusing this third list of ten DS titles!"
