That's freakin' beastly.

Im sorry, but I have to say it: and no Mags present, but we are hopeful!

[Zimbabwe]

What's so great about Mags? Actually, removing the Mags seemed like a good idea. You always had to have one floating around, you had to feed it, and everyone online always had hacked mags that overpowered their character. Photon Blasts were cool though.

The flying robot is Bunari type-Koh3.

The snail thing is Dakamazli.

Or so says Espio.

Now they just need to put out PSU 2 for the xbox and pc and put in all this new sweet combat stuff. If they did I would cry...

[Lacen]

They most likely will expand upon PSU with another expansion dependant on how well PS:P2 sells. So yeah, actually buy it instead of download or else you guys lose the right to complain if they don't have the funds to finish this Phantasy Star Project. It looks very promising. Things have been getting better I must say. But I do understand why the Japanese dislike foreigners... They bust their asses working to create things for other people yet all people can do is complain and want more. I guess that's just the way most people are I suppose. I respect all those who work hard and bust their ass to create something great. If anyone doesn't like it they should go find something else to do and complain about. I'll have faith in Sega and the Phantasy Star series. They do what they can much like all those struggling in the world. Can't ask of anyone anything else but what they got. Anyway, you guys take care. I'll continue to support Sega and the Phantasy Star series even if everyone else may not.

I have high hopes for this game. But Sega has already taken too much of my money (i.e. a CRAP TON of Credit Card issues and the numerous months I paid for subscriptions and got nothing but 062 error and no updates). I'm downloading this.

[Giezus]

All I have to say is if the online play is free, and we DO get some downloads this time around, Sega already has me sold.

This actually looks awesome. Can't wait to play it.
