Man, I want this to be proper, but can't imagine it being anything other than your typical gachapon game.

That alone wouldn't be so bad for me, but what would scare me the most would be that it doesn't make it over here at all. Given that no new Phantasy Star games are making it over.

Sega JP had a decent Soul Reverse mobile game that never made it over either.

Final title is IDOLA : PHANTASY STAR SAGA
From the screenshot, looks like it's a turn based game, just like the classic Phantasy Star.

Oh man.  I want this so bad.

I can't believe it's not a gachapon game.

I would have preferred a 3rd person rear view for the battles, but whatever. I'd play it in a heartbeat.

Polygon Interview with Yuji Naka (producer) and Takao Miyoshi (director) on Phantasy Star Online 20th Anniversary

Quote
Yuji Naka : "The MAG system was initially supposed to involve a fully fleshed-out, animated pet-like creature, but due to various reasons, we had to limit this pet to an object floating over your shoulder. In early concept presentations of PSO, we had a monster-like creature that evolved over the progression of the game. If that idea had been greenlit, we might have seen a different type of PSO game."

Takao Miyoshi : "There were a few things that we couldn’t accomplish in PSO. I mentioned earlier that an early concept was to have the players start on islands and to travel to other islands to discover and explore. Another thing was to have your own room and make your own shop, display items for sale, etc. These were ideas that were dropped early in the planning stages of PSO, but we were able to include [them] in PSU."

Phantasy Star Online: MMORPG on consoles



Quote
Back in the day when Phantasy Star Online was announced, they said you would be able to play online with anyone around the world.
That is correct, anywhere, even Japan.
In today’s world, that isn’t that exciting.
But imagine being a kid in the late 90’s that didn’t own a computer growing up?
