I am looking forward to Phantasy Star Zero because I have grown up with the PS series since the genesis and phantasy star is really the only game I play. I think zero with be just perfect, a simple yet memorable game for the DS. I am ready to play!

Oh wow. I thought PSZ was coming November 3rd this whole time. Screw that. I'm gonna be playing MW2.

I can't wait for PSZ to come out because of how much I hated PSU. T.T I had been playing PSO on the GC for quite some time. We never actually played online because it had shut down by the time we got it, but that never stopped us. We just played in offline mode all the time. I remember seeing an ad for PSU. We FREAKED OUT! We thought it would be the best game ever: better than PSO.
We got: no offline multiplayer. Online costed waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for a few 12 year olds to be able to pay for. Besides: the game just wasn't... magical... enough.
Well, that kid and I split our ways and I never touched PSO again. I moved on to different things, but every so often i would come to PSO-World to look at all the fantastic weapons they had.
I recently discovered the private servers and have joined a very nice team, have gotten about 6 people playing, and am having the time of my life. Going through all of these dungeons again with new people each time and new quests and a new episode: its just plain ecstasy, and I'm looking forward to finding just a little bit more of that ecstasy in Phantasy Star Zero.
Please SEGA: don't screw it up.

btw, that was like 4 years ago, so im not a twelve yr old kid anymore, lol

keep in mind it is a Nintendo DS game, so I wouldn't get too over excited or anything. but it will be good to have yet another PS experience coming soon!

I'm looking forward to playing with friends a lot, just like with Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1 and 2. Also, I can't wait to find some sweet weapons, and some rappies.

I get a whole lot of work done while commuting by train. If PS0 is a good as it promises to be, then I am looking forward to getting significantly less work done during these commutes. I see lots of people DS Lites and DSis on the train--so hey, maybe I'll even make some new friends.
