    We're all stuck playing the waiting game as we jump at any tiny bit of information or news on Phantasy Star Online 2. Well, a little bit of info came to light recently. Don't jump too high, though! We may have a few more months to go before real news starts to surface.

    From the most recent issue of Dengeki Games and via the news site Shougai PSO, an interview with Producer Sakai, Senior Director Terada and Director Suganuma has shed a little more light on PSO2

    • Development of PSO2 has been running alongside PSP2 Infinity, so the game is further along in development than some people likely think.
    • Some kind of announcement may be made around the end of April, during the finals of the Infinity Grand Prix.
    • PSO2 will not be set in either Ragol or Gurhal. Instead, look forward to an even larger setting with numerous planets as indicated by the game's logo.

    And... that's all for now. It's not much to work with, but it's definitely a start. Join in the discussion of this news in this thread!

      Yeah, we're silly, yet the PSO people have been playing the same game, and trying to find the same weapons for over 10 years now. Move on, fellas.

      PSO fans ftw, we appreciate a good game and hate garbage like psu even if it was on PS4, here is hoping PSO2 will do pso justice and its nothing like PSU or PSP.
      But more like PSO or PSZ.
      thats my two Meseta.

      I hope that it is Pioneer 3 and that for some reason they had to make a emergency stop and are now fighting to survive. Just for the heck of it, Dark Falz just happened to have something to do with it and you get to fight Dark Falz in the end!

      PSZ was a nice chunk of nostalgia. A lot like the old days, grabbed 3 other pals with DSs and just killed Dragons all day, lol.

      Yeah, I think they will combine different ideas from each game.
      but I really hope magic goes back to being TP, and not PP from weapons...
      call me a PSO purist, but weapons don't make the force.

      If they fail they shouldn't even call it PSO 2,they should just leave it alone and let the game die in peace.I think if they go back to there roots and not give into the cliche's and stereotypes,and stick to the art,this can turn out to be a good game and maybe we can get our playerbase back.I remember when this site use to be full back in the day.I use to be obsessed with PSO,now it's all meh.

      I, for one, boycott all microsoft products due to the fact that they can't possibly compare to apple in almost every way and because microsoft can't seem to do anything of its own, and as a result, it always pisses me off when an incredible game comes out and it's completely incompatible with mac. Everyone acts as if mac users have no taste in games, and that drek needs to stop. Also, who's willing to bet everything they own that it's going to be solely pay-to-play like Blue Burst? The answer? Me. It never fails. But, at least it might be worth it, unlike World of Warcraft.

      I am sorry but O.M.(*).G, I have been waiting for this since 2006. Best announcement of the year for me!
      I am looking forward to play it on other platform than PC though!
