I'm a long time PSO vet here looking to come outta retirement and renew my hunters license lol. I have played 3 or 4 of the Phantasy Stars on master system, in the RPG days and Bought my PSO copy on launch day for the Dreamcast...(ahh the dream cast, good little ol exploitable system lol) and popped it in and was hooked for years! No game was like this that i had ever seen! Played PSO, ver 2, and ver 4 (blue burst) until i was blue in the face and loved every minute of it. But you finally get tired of a game and move on as I did to Ragnarok, FFXI, and more recently Terra.
After the dissapointment of Phantasy Star Universe, god knows i tried to like that game, i had pretty much given up hope since Sega had thrown in the towel on systems..*sniff* I figured it was done for, and i know there are DS titles and what not out there, but DS is just not my thing. But low and behold i read on a forum of ...PSO 2 is coming out!!!!! I nearly shit my pants on the intro, and as soon as i saw a glimpse of the gameplay a flood of memories and nostalgia came rushing back, brought a tear to my eye lol. It looks to me what PSU SHOULD have been. And i realize you can ...err worm your way into the Japanese Servers I only found out about this game a couple months ago, so since its slated for PC in January I'll just wait for the english release.
Ok enough rambling, MY MAIN question is, for those who have played on the Japanese Servers, how is it? I wanna hear all perspectives, from those who played the original, to those who had never played the PSO series before. Please give details and reason's why you like or dont like the game, not just a simple, It ROCKS!! or IT SUCKS. Give a rating also on a one to ten scale.
The reason I liked PSO so well was the Action style combat, REAL TIME fighting Based on skill, not just stats. I still think they were way ahead of the times with this as most newer MMORpg's are just now taking on this style. Ragnarok was very Fast paced too which is why i liked it so well, FFXI .... eh I tried several times at that game and it just couldnt hold my interest. All i remember was ages of running across the land and every battle seeming like it took hours and standing around waiting for parties... Terra is action based not a bad game, pretty plain in gameplay though, doesnt stand out amongst the crowd.
