Says it will be out in October 2002 instead of Fall 2002, which they've had for ages. Guess this means it's official, right?

Got that from the GameFAQs boards so it's not complete crap over there. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I just noticed this on the link listed above...



SEGA says:
...Episode II brings a new full-length adventure that's exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube...
Exclusive? I thought it was gonna be on xbox too, hmmmmm...

[Castoth]

Guess not everything is up-to-date there yet. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Or the Xbox will be v2, BWAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Suffer.

[Darrin]

I hope it stays october!

[RavenTW]

Yeah, it could change to January at the last second *shuts up cause he might jynx it*

It's good to know we now have a specific month. Now to figure out how I can get both PSO and Earth and Beyond.

[Castoth]

My main concern though is this. Naka said that it would take two months to fix the bugs and have the append discs distributed, correct? If PSO is released in October, would that mean we'd get the fixed version or the buggy version?

[TedEdFred]

fixed of course

[Rhete]

1. I seriously doubt the US will get the fixed disk before Japan

2. I don't trust that site

3. I wouldn't be surprised if we got the bugged disk

Sadly, I wouldn't be either...

Guess there's no point in me importing, it's only one month away now....

[SilencePSO]

Great news that it's finally a real source saying October, but I bet it gets delayed http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif I really doubt they would send us the Bug version (of course never say never)!

What's the XBOX release date?

Xbox release date in Japan in January 16th, no U.S. date yet, all we can do is guess. Probably Febuary or March sometime, but that's just my best guess. Although I did read an article on Gamepro.com (as reliable as they are http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ) that said both the US and Jap versions where ready to go, it's just up to M$ to release them. So the US could get the Xbox version before Japan does, but I wouldn't count on it! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[DreeElle]

Finally! A release date, and just before my birthday too. =) (I got Ver.2 for my b-day last year)

I can't wait! ^_^

Well Microsoft has been giving us first dibs on every major Xbox game so i'm banking on a January release.

[ginko990]

So this means no 2 month delay previous thought for the Duping bug? That would be tre shway if they got them fixed or whatever. The only way to know of the release date for sure will be the day that the game actually comes out.

[Danderdag]

if the game is done I don't see why it couldn't release for xbox before the JP version, the only reason it's waiting for january in japan is because they're waiting for xbox live to start up, it's starting up here in november though. I'd see it going either way.

[Davion]

It still says that there are "2 brand new classes" What's up with that?

[Burnside]

I remember a long time ago I saw pictures of what was suppose to be in it.. Ya know, before Eps 2 and stuff.. And there was a picture of a HUnewm, really buffed up ape lookin' Newman, perhaps that's one of them.. also they had pictures of some freaky duck lucking thing..that could be the other, but these are only assumptions. . .

So do I. I hope it's the updated version too. YOu know, the one without the bugs.

[ginko990]

2. I don't trust that site



......Its SEGA.com. The official site. Wouldnt that be mroe reliable then anything else?

[_xX_Frosty_Xx_]

Despite that, any release date is subject to change......

From Sega.com (http://sega.com/games/post_gamegame.jhtml?PRODID=10113)

Choose your character from the original 3 classes, each with a fourth new being, or from two brand new classes.

I'm still looking for the two new classes...

[Castoth]

They could always be unlockable online still, kind of like how the Control Tower stage supposedly is. >_>

[_xX_Frosty_Xx_]

I'm going by EB Tuesday to reserve mine......I sure do hope the date doesn't change this time.....
