[PC] Phantasy Star Online 2 - Sailordaravon's Last Hope

Phantasy Star Online 2 Announced! Phantasy Star Fan Blog

Announced at via a TGS trailer showcasing the 10th anniversary of PSO

Nothing known besides 2011 and for PC, but it would seem stupid to not put it on consoles as well (like PSU).


HOLY FUCKING SHIT

AHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH







Jam it back in, in the dark.

You can do a much better troll than that, come on.

Actually the PSO (and even PSU) games have all sold really well. Fuck, the private PSO BB servers (the official ones went down like 3 or so years ago) still average 500-1000 players at any given time, and most of those people are donating monthly server costs. There's a lot of interest (even if it's not your thing).

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

I'd be down for that as well, but would you really trust Sega of today to make PS5? Is anyone still at Sega who even made the originals?

The main reason a lot of people are excited about PSO2 is that the guy and team who took over PSU after it's original release (his name escapes me at the moment) have turned PSU around dramatically. The PSU expansion was a huge improvement, and Phantasy Star Portable 1 and 2 (especially 2) are actually genuinely great games that incorporate most of why people like PSO, pulled the good things out of PSU while dumping most of the garbage. I'm seeing a ton of people who hated PSU (which is understandable) but are completely loving Portable 2, so there's some goodwill that's been built up there.

Also it doesn't seem like JRPGs have been doing great this gen, in either terms of quality or sales with some obvious exceptions.

Yeah, I can certainly understand wanting another game in a franchise I like

Yeah, PSU improved a lot with the expansion, and PSP 1/2 and PS0 were all huge improvements, PSP2 in particular. In theory if the PSO2 team is these guys, and they can more or less put in the PSP2 gameplay and systems in a PSO setting and atmosphere, this could be the greatest game ever. However this IS Sega, so even though they've been on a roll lately with these games, I also entirely believe they could fuck it up.

How ya doing, buddy?

OHHHHHH SHIT

(skip to about 1:30 for gameplay)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Still very early, game goes into Alpha this Summer for what it's worth.

Also forgot, minimum system requirements were posted on the website as well:

Quote:

OS Windows XP 32bit版 日本語版
Windows Vista / 7 32bit版・64bit版 日本語版
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 以上
メモリ Windows XP：1.5GB以上
Vista/7：2GB以上
HDD空き容量 8GB以上
モニター解像度 1280×720以上
グラフィックカード NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT もしくは同クラスのグラフィックカード以上
サウンドカード DirectSound対応ボード（DirectX 9.0c以上）
DirectX® DirectX 9.0c以上
インターネット接続環境 ブロードバンド環境（ADSL・光ファイバー等）

I'm currently running on this laptop. Looking online at a card comparison between the minimum specs here it looks like I should be fine in that regard, and from what I can tell my Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 is about equally better than the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, so assuming that I don't get a new PC between now and the end of the year I think I'll be okay to run it on this laptop, at least for a while. The common thought is still that there's no way this won't wind up on at least PS3 if not 360 as well, but I can't imagine it'll launch at the same time.

FELIPE NO

Yeah, I know. I think a lot of it is the whole net cafe thing over there, they don't want to make online/MMO games that won't run on those computers.

Official release of HQ version of the trailer, which also was translated into English which bodes well for a US release (but still no official confirmation).
