What about the wii? anyone think it'll come out for the wii?

[Ezodagrom]

I sure hope PSO2 doesn't come to the Wii. My main reason for not wanting it on the Wii is storage limitations, which means patch and new content limitations.

[Ovada]

Is it on iTunes at all? I wanna subscribeeeeeeeeeee

yeah we all know that the problem with the issue with money wise and upgrading pc but the fact that sega spend there money on it is just a waste. I think they could just focus on psp2 & pso2 for the console. I am really sorry to say this but they are messing it up for starters. cuz we all know how bad it was back then when player use to hack the first game for pso. if they plan on bring back pso2 to the pc then is just gonna be more easy to get hacked. but they need to do is focus on bring it for the xbox 360 or ps3 this way the game will be less hackable. ppl of today try to hack psu but they only use glitches that sega mess up on and sega still not focusing on fixing some of the bug that still there. first hand pso2 is gonna face a lot of glitches and problem.I can just see it like: logging issue or lagging on depend on how many player on the lobby or server and other thing may or may not happen. I dont want to hurt anyone feeling.I am just saying that something we all feel the same way. in psu the drop rate still bad and some of mission like sakura blast and egg thief still lag. they still dont take the time to fix them. So if u really think about it pso2 may gonna have same problem and more on the pc alone.

I sincerely hope Sega doesn't make PSO2 PC only. That would be a major bonehead move. Not to mention it would alienate a chunk of the fanbase. Like they said on the podcast: Pantasy Star Online was originally a console game, and Sega should do all they can to keep it that way. Not saying it shouldn't be on PC at all, but certainly not ONLY on PC.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

Dragwind is working on that, as we speak.

they need upgade the trade stem in the psp2 cuase i want get stuff from my friend that i play with but i don't how they lock up to b rank itams but the game is e really great i

PSO2 pc only for the first year or two, then think about a console release. I honestly get tired of seeing PC gaming Nay-Sayers. News flash: PCs do not cost as much as you kids think it does.

[Omega-z]

I think any approach they do can be fine if it`s consoles( all of them ie they all can handle this game) or not, but think of how Sega is try to fix the problems of the past it had with the other titles. You have to understand that making a good online game is very hard. That PSO did pretty well in the first year`s also but still had problems and dwindled in POP (by the time GC and XB came out)like any online game PSO is a good starting point but need to understand they will have to change in order to make it in the business world too. the thing is PSO was design for the DC and not the PC so it had limits with little online content( since it was the first time, so they were trying it out). If Sega was still making DC`s then it would be a Sega only game!. I think it`s too early to say right now if PC is the only one But I can see why their doing it, mainly to save $$$ but there is other issues too.
