Phantasy Star Universe discussion thread

Well if the PSU monthly fee is less than what the XBL Gold account is, it'd make more sense to get the PS2 or PC version. I'm curious as to the required specs for the game to run on the PC.

I'll be playing online, but I wanna see if my PC can even run it on something a little better than low.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Cool. With those PC specs, I've more than enough capability to run the game at medium or higher settings. There goes another reason to buy a 360 -- I'd rather get this for PC.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wait, I thought it was confirmed that 360 users would only have to pay for XBL? Isn't that how FFXI works? Or is it the other way around -- don't need to subscribe to XBL Gold, but you have to pay SE's fee?

How ya doing, buddy?

That majorly sucks. I was practically depressed when I found out. But then, when you consider the background of Level-5 and how awesome their games have been. This delay will only make the game better, of that I'm entirely confident.

Ah, well sucks to the owner of the 360 version of PSU then. It's cool that, even if they're going to charge $15 a month for the US servers, it's not like the game will sit there and rot, what with it having a decent single-player mode.

This is sounding more and more like the perfect merger between an offline and online RPG. Diablo got good at it, but the single player was basically a waste, really. At least I thought so. But PSU seems to have it down pat, if they can just correct those server issues in Japan.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

As someone who's never played a Phantasy Star game before -- online or otherwise -- is this a good starter game to get into the PS universe? No pun intended, of course.

Here's what may be a doozy of a question -- ultimately, what's going to be more entertaining? This game as an MMO, or this game as a single-player RPG?

I was speaking idiomatically.
