Carl of TheKoalition writes, Sega has been trying for a decade to transition the Phantasy Star series from cult-favoured RPG's to commercially successful MMO's. Their first attempt back in 2000 was a valiant effort but was hindered by the limitations of the Dreamcast and dial-up Internet speeds. Flashfoward 10 years to a world where Broadband Internet is a standard and almost everyone and their mother owns a Nintendo DS, the time seems right for Sega to finally revive their dream and release an alternate version of the Dreamcast classic, one that will actually be embraced by the masses this time around. Though the DS too has a host of limitations it also allows Sega to focus on the elements which matter the most, namely a solid gameplay experience and fully functional online mode. The latter of which is where Phantasy Star Zero truly shines and is the reason why any RPG lover who owns a DS needs to go out and purchase this game right now.
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...
What I need to know is when is Sega going to make and release Phantasy Star 5. All I need to know.
"Phantasy Star Online 2 (GameCube, 2012)"
May want to change that to (PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo Switch, Android, PC and iOS, 2012)
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!

We have now reached the third week and third set of ten DS titles. By the conclusion of this piece, we'll be more than halfway through this exhaustive list. If you somehow missed a previous part, check out Part One and Part Two. When all of your preparations are complete (and you remember that list contains North American releases only), feel free to begin perusing this third list of ten DS titles!"
