Phantasy Star Universe

[JWKobayashi]

I can't wait for this game.  I was just looking at some E3 material and reaffirmed my hype for it.  I just can't wait for a release date!

I did a quick search on here and saw that some others are anticipating this title as well.  Anyone planning on playing online?  

I played the original Dreamcast PSO games to death online (about 1500 hours between the two), and dabbled a bit on Episode 1&2 and 3 on Gamecube (also online).  Hell, I even went as far as to set up a personal server at my home for use with the cube version.

Anyway, just wanted to rant about how much I'm looking forward to this one.

I can't wait for this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When is it being released on the 360? If it is a long time after the PS2 version I might get the PS2 version start to play then get the 360 version. The good thing is your characters can be moved to the different platform.

I have about 1200-1500 hours into the GameCube PSO 1&2. when PSO 3 was released it was a sad sad day for me. They took one of the best series in video games and made it a card game.

How is the PSO 1 and 2 on the xbox? I keep seeing it in the discount bins and keep passing on it because I'm just not into single-game monthly subscription fees. I don't mind a 1-time fee for additional content, but a $10+ surcharge/month just to play 1 game still irks me. Does it have an offline campaign?

I'm going to try to keep an open mind regarding PSUniverse, though.

I think that the 360 version of PSU is supposed to be released alongside the PS2 version, which was one of the reasons for the delays. Dammit, this is the game that is going to make me buy a 360.  :-/

Do you still play the GC version online?  If so, have you tried the "unofficial" servers?  They're kinda cool to mess around with, but are still in a stage of development.  

Like I said, I set up a server at my house and was able to play ultimate when I was level 30ish.  They're also starting to come up with fan made quests that  you can add on, in addition to all the official ones.  Supposedly it's also cross platform, being able to accomodate the Dreamcast versions, the GC versions, and the original PC version.  I haven't been able to try that out yet, as I'm the only one I know that still has an interest to play.

BAH!  Why did I bring this up?  It just makes me  remember how much I love PSO!

PSOX is cool and the only version to support voice chat.  However, there is no sinle player campaign.  It all takes place on Xbox Live from what I understand.  Also, I'm not sure how many people still play it, which is also a factor.

I've been wanting to pick it up as a completist.

I am not sure if my account is still active. I havent tried any of the unofficial servers. I was into playing again but there is a guy online that likes to FSOD people and he burned me. I was so pissed I lost my Monkey King Bar and haevnt played since. That was 5-6 months agao I think. I think my top character is 174. I have 4-5 characters in the 100+ range.

If you want to play some time let me know. I will try the unofficial servers.

Good read. I can't wait for this game!

It just sucks that the PS2 and 360 versions are probably going to be sepearated.  I understood the limitations with PSO, mainly because the versions were all developed seperately.. but PSU has been in development concurrently for the platforms.

DAMn I want this game!!!!!!

Thanks for the Phoenix.

[phoenix1967]

No problem. I found it while fishing around on www.teamxbox.com.

[captain_nintendo]

This is so awesome!

I cant remember being this excited about a game... Not in a while anyhow.

360 = voice chat! No more typing , and that is exclusive to the 360


I cant wait to begin again.

[blissfulnoise]

PSO on the Xbox had voice chat in your party too.

But, yeah, PSU  is one of my most anticipated games of 2006.  I'll see you all online!

Sorry for the delay in response, but I'd like to be able to play online with people now.  I finally moved into my new home and have started to set things up.  I now have a machine that is running as a dedicated server here, and one of the services that I'm running is a GC PSO server.  I haven't had anyone external connect to it yet, but I'd be more than happy to try it out so that any of you can use it at will.

PM me if you're interested.  You'd need a Gamecube, copy of PSO Ep 1&2 (or possibly Ep 3), and a network adapter.
