Very disappointing. I see Phantasy Star 0 and I get all pumped up till I see Phantasy Star Online.... Where is my true Phantasy Star sequel Sega? oh well

More PSO? HOT.... But calling it "Phantasy Star 0" is kind of trashy, and I can understand why people would be pissed.

Sega needs to cauterize their RPG(ish) department. Between Phantasy Star Online and the endless debasing of the Shining Force name they've got nothing to work with any more. I'm worried that they'll revive the Skies of Arcadia name as a mindless Diablo-clone someday. I'm mentally picturing a world with a few familiar place names and horribly over-designed characters where you endlessly click on monsters with the Wii remote, frequently entering slo-mo to trace a symbol on screen to cast a spell. Add in months of pre-release hype from Sega while everyone knows it's a waste of time, followed by lackluster sales and two sequels that get more and more desperate to inject life into a bad idea, and you've got the perfect Sega-style RPG update.

i liked pso. even card revolution. didn't get to play universe. i hope it plays well.
I'm excited about this. Also in the bandwagon of "I hope this plays more like PSO than PSU."
But Phantasy Star Online rocked.Quote:

Yeah, Skies of Arcadia was mediocre to begin with. A Diablo clone would probably be an improvement. The original PSO was awesome at the time but Sega never put the effort in after the initial release despite that type of game continuing to evolve on PC.
They threw on monthly fees when they realized the game was popular yet it still had issues with hackers, CARD rev was a pretty good strategy spin-off but they lazily didn't upgrade the graphics/frame rate, and PSU managed to somehow be a step back instead of forward gameplay-wise and had some iffy character designs. The single-player campaign could have saved it if it was more developed.
Anyone know what Rieko Kodama is up to these days? I assume she's still at Sega being the lone co-creator of Phantasy Star still there.
Seriously, the fan run servers are far beyond anything Sega did with PSO.
Well, Nick (Rox, not TNL Nick) is almost certain now that she's working on a legit new Phantasy Star RPG, since she's been involved in some sort of project for a while and Sega seems to be on a Phantasy Star kick as of late.Quote:
