I apologize to anyone ahead of time who might think this thread seems unnecessary. I've had the urge to give this game another go for a while now, but I'm just now getting around to it due to time constraints (first large amount of free time I've had in three years).
So basically, I've been a fan of the Phantasy Star series since the Dreamcast. I put countless hours into PSO, PSU, PSP 1/2, and even Zero. I tried the game when it first came out in Japan, but I was pretty turned off having to play in another language and moved on, waiting/hoping for an English release. We all know where that went.
I lost the password to my original account (foolish I know), and let's just say that resetting it would probably not be a viable option at this point, so I'll have to make a new one, which is a real bummer.
So here's my question: Is it worth starting fresh at this point? The game is four years old, which is usually about the end of the life cycle for a Phantasy Star title. I really just wish to casually group and rare hunt like the old days. I'm NOT looking for anything like World of Warcraft (I've had my fill of the WoW style of games for good) or with huge barriers to entry. What's the leveling experience like in this game? And is end game small group friendly? Does it involve rare hunting like the older Phantasy Star titles?
I guess my question really just boils down to this: What's the game like compared to older Phantasy Star titles, and is it worth getting started four years into the game's life cycle?
Thanks
