Phantasy star online is to be released this october and from what i've seen and read it looks like something to look forward to.
For all those that don't know of PSO1, it is an online (and offline for that matter) RPG. It came out on the dreamcast and was a great success with the majority of gamers as it appealed to pretty much every one.
The game is set in a futuristic universe which you get to explore. One of the best parts of the game is that instaed of Zelda, golden sun and other RPGS you actually get to create your own hero.
At the start of the game you will get to choose from three different races to create your character from.Humans, newmans which are a humanoid race of creatures and androids which are robot type players(a bit like terminators). These three groups are then divided into three fighting classes. The ranger who can use shot guns, rifles and other forms of artillery, the hunter who is a master of close range combat and the force player who is bassically a magician that uses spells and sorcery to take out monsters that attck. Every charcter available to choose from in the game has uniquie powers and qulities but it is yourself that is involved in their up bringing and what moves they will learn. It is alot like final fantasy in places. for example, the stat building process is very similar.
The online part of the game allows players to connect to the internet via a 56k modem adapter that fits into the bottomof the gamecube and connects to a telephone line. when playing online you enter a game rtoom where you can team up with some people and start your own adveture with them. the game will be very similar to the single player adventure but you will have the company of other to help complete missions and tackle bosses.
The whole idea of the game is very pleaseing and it will definately be a hit on gamecube with two new missions and some exclusive characters.Another feature exclusive to the cube will a gamecube keybord controllker that is pictured in NOM magazine this month. The controller will allow player to type messages to each other in the online chat rooms. A much simpler way to typeing the messages out by selecting letters with the joystick as what was used on the dreamcast.
I am definately looking forward to playing the game however getting my gamecube to a telephone line might prove difficult as my cube is in my room and all the lines are down stairs.
PSO will hopefully be joining us next autum.
lets keep our fingers crossed!!
