well obviously there are online and offline modes. the online( where you make your character) in story line terms is actualy gunna take place after the offline mode. my question is how many people will acutaly play the offline first before the online. personaly i cant wait to meet up with people online.

I'm going to play both, but I won't wait to finish offline to go online.
I'll be doing both simultaneously, although if for some reason we can't go online with the import version, I'll use the import to play offline and then play online only with the non JP version.

I think the answer is pretty much a given.

the real question should be "what is the reason you're going to buy PSU?"

I'm going to be one of the few who finishes the offline story mode before starting the online story. Since the plot of the online story takes place after the events of the offline game, I'd rather not be left in the dark if certain offline plot points are thrown in my face in different online quests.

I'm planning on playing both, but if PSU is BB only, I'll play offline while I wait to get it. With a little luck, I'll be able to get on with dial-up (like PSO) and be online right away.

Well, hopefully for you, dialup will be at least a present option. You shouldnt have to be penalized for having a slower connection. You deserve a shot online, just like the rest of us. Thats what plagued me on GC: dialup. I didnt have BB then & couldnt find the BB modem even when I got my BB connection. Looking foward to having my 1st BB PS experience. Should be sweet. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well, its not my 1st BB experience. EQOA holds that memory. It will be my 1st BB for Phantasy Star tho. As huge as EQOA is, its only a 4 person team (tho w/raids & such, you can get many more teams there to assist. A 6 person team w/the added speed of broadband is gonna be sweet. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Take that Sony! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Yeah, BB+PSU=AMAZING. Mainly because theres big(-ish) teams and lagging won't be something you need to worry about really.
