This is the best gaming news I could have ever heard aside from a Shenmue 3 announcement.
I came into PSO a bit late and played it on the Xbox. I drooled over screens back in its Dreamcast days but I had broadband so I never bothered setting it up since it was a total pain with that. It was awesome on the Xbox though and I had so much fun, even more so due to its voice chat feature which was pretty rare back then.
It's crazy how simplistic yet addictive it was. Something about the atmosphere of the game just grabbed me and never let go. I'm not easily addicted to MMO's either, because I get bored of most of them quick.
I was more pumped up for Phantasy Star Universe than any game in recent memory but was so let down. I am glad SEGA seems to be acknowledging that PSU let everyone down by naming this Phantasy Star Online 2, which makes me pretty confident they will stick to the original formula that worked. Pumped.
