Well... gonna be playing that, as long as it comes to PC. *squints at Trailer* Yeah, from what I've heard it's gonna get a PC version too. Or more accurately, it has one, and has for years, and Sega's finally realizing people still like their games in the US too. Amusingly, the timing of this is hilarious because I started replaying the original again a couple months ago.

Kinda glad it's free to play, given that like hell was I looking at paying full release cost for a game that's nearly a decade late for no reason other than Sega deciding we don't exist and actively IP Banning folks trying to play from the US who were paying Japanese subscriptions to do so.

Also very true. I'd have probably thrown at 20 at it or something and if it's actually fun like the original (and not a shitty broken dumpster fire like Universe) I could see myself supporting with a few cosmetic purchases, but yeah, no way I'd pay retail for a game I was originally promised in 2012 but didn't get because Sega is literally hostile to Gaijin scum.

Glad to see Phantasy Star is still getting some love. That used to be my favorite rpg.

Time to bring this back from the dead again... we have an official date for the PC version (since I don't have an XBox One) of May 27th. Just over a week! I'm actually pretty excited. It's been a while but I cannot wait to go poke around a Phantasy Star game again.

Yeah, I've held off on picking it up on XB1 as I figured i'd wait for the PC version, was waiting to see the time table for a release before committing to it (as apparently it's crossplay).

Interested in how this plays out, and the reviews seem kinda positive so far, though I'm wondering if it's story light as in REALLY story light, or if it's just like PSO1 where they decided half the plot was a jigsaw puzzle of datalogs and hidden mission restrictions. Still, farewell to some of our old PSO buddies that I don't expect to make a return, like Maxed Out Stats on a Level 1 Mag to overpower your basic newbie, XP being limited to which enemies you hit so the nuker mages have to sit back and wait for everyone else to get a hit in before incinerating a room, and jobbing Kireek for his fucking scythe as soon as possible.
