PSO

Shougai PSO, a Japanese fansite, posted an article today noting that Sega of Japan has renewed the registration for pso2.jp. With the looming 10th anniversary of the original release of Phantasy Star Online, some fans are taking this as a clue for the possible future direction the franchise may take. Hopefully, this will prove to be more than a standard domain name renewal.

MegaZoneXE recently posted about a Japanese website he visited that offers paper models of selected Phantasy Star Online Mags. The models include the basic Mag, Pushan, Sato, and PSO item boxes. If appropriate care is taken while constructing the models, you will be rewarded with a high-quality Mag or item box replica. In order to view the model files from this website, you will need the free Pepakura Viewer. If you decide to build your own Mag model, be sure to take a picture and share the results in this forum thread.

PSOHappy 5th Anniversary Phantasy Star Online.

It was 5 years ago the Japanese version of Phantasy Star Online hit the Dreamcast. Its been a long time since the days of Dreamcast Version 1 where the maximum level was 100, PB boosting was the normal activity before a boss, and there was a constant fear of being given a negative value HP material, and here we are today. More mangas have been introduced at the official celebration site so go ahead and head on over.

By Jonathan_F at 11/21/2005 - 7:20am

Love is in the Air - Shot down
By Jonathan_F at 06/29/2005 - 9:20pm
PSOWell due to apparent unpopularity of the wedding theme, which even clumsyorchid admits was one of the worst updates ever, the wedding lobby has been removed for all versions of the game. You can turn your music back on now.

SEGA and PSO World team up to reveal Phantasy Star Online Episode 5.
By Jonathan_F at 04/01/2005 - 6:14am
PSOYuji Naka has kept his word and has proved it in a PSO-World exclusive! We've been given a glimpse of Phantasy Star Online Episode V!

The story goes: A year after the defeat of Olga Flow, a weird series of explosions has been detected at the north pole of Ragol. When a team was sent down to investigate what was going on, contact was lost. Natasha has called on the Hunters again to investigate what happened to the lost team, and find out what is causing the explosions.

Once again you'll be teamed up with Elly. However due to the strong magnetic effect there is at the poles of the planet, communications may not always be possible. It'll be the same as well for telepipes as well so the item shops that were seen in the towers were deployed to the poles after being fitted with specialized heating units to prevent them from freezing.

This is very much an unfinished product at this time so I'm sure you'll see that there are some things missing or that there are some graphical problems, as not all of the graphical elements have been enabled. There's also work of a new HUD going on so that also is missing. This is the bare minimum of what is finished. There weren't even any monsters yet in this video I recieved but map work of the first area is finished as far as I can tell. Also the music appears to be called The Silent Blizzard Of North part 1 from the note I received. Prepare for the biting cold everyone!

Video! You're gonna need divx to view this video and you can pick that up at divx.com.

So you're wondering, "EPISODE V?! We don't even have Episode IV yet, or Blue Burst for that matter!" Don't worry, I've got all of the info. Blue Burst will be coming out this month, and Episode IV coming early summer. Finally Episode V will be released early next year in Japan and a few months after that here in the US. Let the continued explorations of Ragol begin!
