The problem with PC is that I spent 8 hours a day on the computer, so it would hardly be relaxing to move from work iMac to home iMac. Would much prefer the couch and the big ol' tv. However, I have been looking into getting PC on my Mac if PSO2 remains PC only.

I have fond memories of Phantasy Star Online, but only offline. Even with just that I had an extremely good time. If they can capture any of the magic again, then I will be extremely happy.

I'm hoping for the battle mode to make a return as well as lobby soccer. Oh, and SEGA themed mags.

Question: How much did PSO change after Version 2? I remember seeing cards and they followed it up with four episodes. It all got hard to follow.

Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution was one of the worst games Sonic Team ever made, and by today's standards that is a major achievement.

All Points Bulletin (that "GTA MMO") was just announced to begin preparations to close it down now. That game was only out for like, two months. What a disaster. The MMO scene is now completely different, especially when PSU came out they did not even need to worry about WoW (which came out around the same time), everything has changed since then with major release and minor ones. SEGA has the weight of the world coming against them with this title, so I am worried to think how this could turn out in the end.

Blue Burst had a EPS 4, it was a open desert. It was pretty nice. It would be a nice surprise if PSO2 has EP 1,2 and 4. A revamped mini game card game, Soccer and a revamped lobby. So awesome.

PSO2 website:
http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psportal/pso2/
It only has the teaser trailer shown before with better quality and a wall of text.

Man this is really starting to look like a PC exclusive.  The new website seems pretty finite.

PSO isn't a MMO it's an online action game. It's not like you can go around with 39 of your e-buddies and blow up stuff.

Barry, PSO didn't change much after version 2. Everything that came afterwards (Episodes 1, 2 and 4) were expansions. More areas, items, weapons and story lines. CARD Revolution was set 20 years after the events in PSO, personally I quite liked the game but ultimately it's a bit unbalanced when you're starting your deck (decks created in the "Hunters" side feel a lot weaker than decks from the "Arkz" in the first levels).

Sakai is a cruel man.  It's like he has a fetish with teasing or something!

Anyways,

It's starting to sound like this game is going to be PC exclusive.... time to upgrade I guess.

I haven't really been keeping up with PC hardware.  I'm thinking at least a quadcore processor and 8GB of ram.

I will wait for more info and closer release date. If no console announced, I will buy a graphics card around the time it is released.
