^.... lmfao wat? Definitly agree bro. Love pso with a passion.
I don't know how much they would copy PSO, outside of what PSO copied from Diablo. But the artstyle (future) has been a stable of the team since 1998's Xenogears.
Pirovash mentioned star ocean in the other thread. Its got that same future anime style definitly
But imo what this game does, or what it seems like its perhaps unintentionally doing is combining both open seemless open world from the original phantasy star games and the online from pso. Its like doing the exact thing ive dreamed of a sequel of pso when they showed pso2. The first trailer for pso2 gave me the impression that it would be sort of like what xenoblade x is doing now. It ended up being like pso1, with a lobby and missions to pick from the register, which I was fine with actually when I was playing. The f2p elemenrs im not fond of however
