I'll probably be snagging the PC version of this as well when it comes around stateside. I've gotten sick and tired of Warcraft anyway, and I haven't had a good Phantasy Star fill for what seems to be ages. I've beaten all four of the original games, and was hoping for the remakes to come out, but oh well.

This is pretty much as good as Phantasy Star 5 to me with an additional multiplayer function, so I'll take it all the same.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Those who buy the 360 version will have to pay the monthly fee on top of what they've already paid for their XBL subscription, so if anything the 360 version should be avoided at all costs unless you absolutely hate playing on the PC.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

PSU has already been confirmed to require an additional monthly fee on top of the XBL subscription. Also, 360 players will be sectioned off by themselves on a separate server while the PS2/PC players will have their own servers.

Miles posted a link regarding the monthly fee earlier in the thread, but I'll repost the link here for you: http://www.xboxic.com/news/1578

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'll probably get right in on launch day, gonna go head out to preorder the PC version either today or tomorrow so I can start early for sure. I do have some questions though..

I've played all four of the original PS games, but never played any of the PSO releases. About how much of the active PS lore would I find in a online PS title, and furthermore, how steep is the learning curve to getting into PSU if you're starting from scratch?

"Lore" in the Phantasy Star universe being like the Algol System, the Mother Brain concept, Palma/Parma, Dezolis/Desoris, and Motavia/Motabia as existing planets, the races/class types, and the like. Like are there any rough references to people like Alis from PS1 or Rune/Lutz from PS4, and such. If monster types are directly pulled from the old games, etc etc.

I like the sound of things thus far, sounds real nice when compared to other MMOs these days. I must ask though, there is no raid or die concept in this game, is there?

I mean like the whole "You must spend every waking moment in a raid in order to progress" type mentality. PVP doesn't bother me that much as long as it isn't griefer style PVP, but I'm beyond tired of the letters "D" "K" and "P" rearing their ugly selves into every MMO.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not knowing what I mean at this point is a blessing for you, because it means you probably haven't pulled your hair out playing EQ or World of Warcraft yet. But in those games, the only way you're ever able to see any end-game content or any big time equipment pieces is by raiding. Non-stop raiding. 25-72 (WOW minimum to EverQuest maximum) people all together doing the same encounters week in and week out. Repetitively dull and boring getting 1-3 pieces of a gear a MONTH except to those who have a great deal of friends to talk to in those raid parties. I mean things like that.

So everything is designed around six person parties? Can parties can any bigger than that or is that the max?
