i enjoy the universe series of phantasy star
but the only thing that out me off this time is the ridiculous outfit of the main heroine this time ( Behind ursula in the first and third screenshot )

It's so ridiculous i don't think i'll complete the story mode anytime soon .

Seriously ... what happenned ? it's out of touch with every other character created so far in this saga ...

Thankfully everything else is ok ...
(ursula seems intresting )

Myst5276d ago

Wouldn't mind getting this near the holiday season as well as a new DS and Phantasy Star 0.

I just wonder if they will make one for a home based console any time soon so that it can be like Episodes I & II for Gamecube in which you had the option of playing online. I know Universe slightly counts for some being that it's on PC and 360, but I'd like another :/

Redempteur5276d ago

The first two part of this saga went on consoles AND pc with mixed reviews .. but it became a true succès for sega with the first portable title of this ... so i don't think you'll get a home console game soon seeing that sega ( as seen with valkyria ) believe in portables much more than in home consoles ...

Who really wants 90 screenshots?

ThanatosDMC5276d ago

Cant believe i bought the game thinking it'll be like Monster Hunter. I was sadly disappointed with the first.

What do you need to know about Phantasy Star?

Man, Phantasy Star can be confusing. There are so many different kinds of games in this series, but they all get tossed under the same umbrella. The oldest games are turn-based RPGs. The newer ones vary between MMOs and action-RPGs. Wouldn’t it be nice if things were simplified...

Phantasy Star online episode 1 and 2 is one my all time favorites. Just make that better...

ApocalypseShadow2354d ago

What I need to know is when is Sega going to make and release Phantasy Star 5. All I need to know.

SegaGamer2354d ago

Even if they did, then i doubt it would be released outside of Asia. We haven't had a Phantasy Star game since Phantasy Star Portable 2, and that was 7 years ago !

I don't know why, but Sega seem's to have abandoned the west when it comes to Phantasy Star.

ApocalypseShadow2354d ago (Edited 2354d ago )

Pretty much. You would think that sequels to some of their franchises or remasters of games like Skies of Arcadia, Shenmue, Headhunter, Virtual On online, Jet Set Radio, etc would make them some easy cash as digital titles. Even VR titles of Virtual Cop, HofTD or even something crazy like Crazy Taxi VR. Nope. The Sega I knew just isn't there.

Maybe Sammy has them on a tight leash and just uses their assets for Pachinko games like Konami does. It's a shame being a Sega game fan but no Sega games to look forward to.

fenome2353d ago

Seriously though! When I first saw this I thought I missed an announcement or something. I thought it was to prep people up for the next game. Damn

Azurite2353d ago

"Phantasy Star Online 2 (GameCube, 2012)"
May want to change that to (PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Android, PC and iOS, 2012)

Nybz2353d ago

I need to know when the fuck SEGA is gonna wake up and make a full on PSO 3 with the unreal 4 engine or some shit so I can get lost in the best god damn futuristic world with my pet mag as their god-tier PSO themed music blasts my ear drums forever and ever.

Wake the hell up SEGA, the time is NOW!

Review: Phantasy Star Portable 2 (Crush! Frag! Destroy!)

CFD!'s Rob Rich reviews the newest Phantasy Star for PSP:

"A few years ago, players saved the Gurhal system from total destruction when they fought back the SEED infestation. Now the small collection of planets is in danger once again, from an enemy that most of its denizens don’t even know exists.

"Who cares, right?

"Just like its predecessor, Phantasy Star Portable 2 has a story that almost no one cares about, told through static character portraits and very little spoken dialogue. And that dialogue is both bad and awkwardly acted. But also like the first game, what people really care about is the Diablo-style grinding for experience and phat lewts. So does this second game on Sony’s “little handheld that could” manage to improve the formula, or is it just spinning its wheels?"

Still a great game if you like or love The Grind.

Ndigity4883d ago

Well I do like experience and loot. Maybe I'll pick it up from PSN sometime.

Giantsquirrel4883d ago

Uh-hmm...it's "Fantasy." Spelling FAILLLL

RobsteinOne4880d ago
