Yes, but sadly Virtua Quest was not selling well.
It was considered a failure both critically and commercially within the context of the Virtua Fighter franchise.
If it's a success may be it could lead to a sequel which expanded into another SEGA franchises too just like Sonic Racing series.

I can see why it failed. Even if it went with the Sega All-Star route over Virtua Fighter, I doubt it would've amount to much. It probably would've been a better game if it had more time in the kiln. Just because it reminds me a bit of Kingdom Hearts doesn't mean it's just as good as it.

(I find the combat a bit annoying. Especially given I couldn't attack downed enemies or block or evasion doesn't work as well as I hope. As for Virtua Soul fights, I just spam the special attacks.)

Yeah, Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution is better game than this. More fun to play.

I've yet to try C.A.R.D. Revolution. I "suppose" I can try the ROM if it works fine without internet access. I don't know if online functions of Dreamcast or GameCube games can work on emulators or not. Or if C.A.R.D. Revolution needs to be online to play.

But, sometimes I wonder why Sega hasn't made an "answer" to Pokémon TCG, as C.A.R.D. Revolution goes to show they could make a TCG if they wanted to.

May be because Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution did not sell well so they abandon that kind of gameplay.
Right now the game's gameplay was appreciated and praised for solid and well-thought-out mechanics, but that's not the case when it was released.
Most PSO fans back then expected it still to be action RPG instead of a turn-based card game format.
Personally I love SEGA's trying to do something different but they're not supposedly naming a spin-off game into a sequel (Episode III).

Looking at gameplay footage, I can see why it was (to a degree) disappointment. PSO being an action adventure game, now ARKS resolve their combat with turn-based card system than just taking a sabre or gun to the problem.

Perhaps, Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution would've been better off as an actual card game? I imagine, though, like MushiKing and Dinosaur King, it would've mostly been popular in Japan than the west. But may still have "some" market in the west given how popular PSO was in general.
