    We'd like to keep your nail-biting conditon under control, but the anticipation of Sega's PSU might leave your cuticles screamning for help. Yes, we know we're going to be hitting you with another action-RPG, but it is not our fault that this is one of the best looking game we have ever seen. Phantasy star Online gave us our first real-time online console game and surprisingly hit a home run on its first swing -- you can't chalk that up to beginner's luck. We don't want to give too much away about online play and profile configuration, but we're going to leave you with one word: breasts.    "



    Thanks for the heads up, I'll be certain to grab a copy when I can.

    You never know what you might come across when you search the BBS at Blue Burst's official site. Japanese gamers are hard at work already trying to compile the drop lists for monsters in Episode IV. You can view the original or the poorly translated drop charts. Also make sure you check the comments as Tancient has left a few links, which give more detail on each item.

    I just got off the phone with the people at NCSX. They still have not recieved copies of Blue Burst Episode 4 yet. After this long, I've had enough and have removed my order from them. If anyone else would like to do the same, there are other options still as to whom one can import from. Play-Asia, which I'm not sure of, and also Himeya, which I do understand has sent copies out.

    Update: I took a little scan at NCSX and saw this little note. Preorders for the Japanese PC import Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst Ep. 4 ship automatically on February TBA, 2005. Please note that our supplier in Japan has not shipped the game yet for unknown reasons although the game has been released already and we are now waiting for arrival. Anyone who still hasn't jumped ship may want to do so now.

    Maximum Attack 2 which was released quite a while back, was a unique quest in which after a certain time had passed, a new path had opened for players to explorer. This quest will soon be reisued as Maximum Attack 2 Ver 2. From the looks of things, The Towers have been added into the quest.




    Another quest, "If you laugh at the seashore" will also be released.



    Also be on the lookout for the valentine decorations soon. Update happens on the 8th. Thanks to Ryna for this submission

    I've got some unfortunate news. It appears that two import shops (Play-Asia and NCSX) and possibly more have had Episode IV delayed. NCSX is now listing the shipping date as the 10th, Play-Asia has it listed as 1-2 weeks.

    Episode IV for Blue Burst is now up. You may log into the servers again. There are a few problems that ST is addressing at this time.

    1. There seems to be a bug with the injector weapon that causes the game to crash.

    2. If you install the new patch up to version 1.19.0 in window mode, you most likely will crash. You can either switch it over to full screen mode this one time, or if you do run it in window mode, after Blue Burst crashes, you can continue using window mode and it'll get past the bad part.

    Everyone, Finally, ' Phantasy Star Online blue burst episode 4 ' did service in formally!

    The new stage ' episode 4 which becomes Windows edition original ', we are glad that the new work can be announced safety first.

    Now the work becomes appearance of the new map & the new story & the new enemy & the new item. Especially, as for the new item where the eye and the efficiency which were seen exceed variation rich 150, it probably is to expand the pleasure of venture of everyone.

    In addition, it introduced so far fragmentarily, it fell to planetary Ragol, "the meteorite", as a result enormous it is born in the ground "the crater", daringly as for "WORKS" these whether how it keeps interwinding..., as for that in venture you enjoy.

    Furthermore, besides the fact that in reference, this time, correction was added to attack method and motion of the new enemy, you devised the appearance variation, and the like you played through the whole and you could finish giving an advise and encouraging of the customer whom it receives via the closed beta trial which the experience it receives part in certain ones which you withstand.

    The one which it receives the one which participated in closed β trial and this time concerning "episode 4" for the first time, you think that which can take the first step of the venture whose planet "Ragol" is new with fresh feeling.

    "Episode 4" being similar, everyone staff all, we enjoy that it can meet Toshi.
