The most recent addition to a Sega game series known as Phantasy Star. Many uninformed Sega fans claim that this game "revolutionized" online gaming but they would be wrong as it was neither the first online game nor the first online RPG. Its impossible to ignore the fact that online gaming was popular on the PC years before the Dreamcast was ever invented.
Its impossible to have revolutionized anything by doing the same thing someone else already did years before you. Its even more impossible when they did it even better.

The first online RPG to ever grace home video game consoles. Developed by SEGA's Sonic Team in 1999 for the Sega Dreamcast and later Nintendo's Gamecube and Microsoft's XBOX, the game revolutionized online console play by introducing a chat program across multiple continents and languages as well as having the most addictive gameplay ever seen on a system other than PC's. A sequel entitled Phantasy Star Universe is under developement to be released in 2005.
Phantasy Star Online is an addicting game!

This Sega saga is one, if not the most anime game out there.

This is that jrpg disguised as a hack n slash/shooter (sometimes), It's like if you took a final fantasy online game, made it more simple and free, and on top of that, letting people set free their wildest anime fantasy. If it wasn't for the fact that this "fantasy" was not another way to just say "i wanna draw porn but I don't know how to draw so I load this game to make the most sexy and fuckable character ever, to show everybody my degeneracy" it would'nt be alive till this day.
This is also the game that has one of the simplest, yet monkey driven economy, with the most USELESS stuff being the most expensive... like emotes.
There are also not enough things to make this game worthwhile playing for two months. Although most of the players see it as a game to get freaking powerful and be the best player in the world having the best alliance in the world like this was something outta One Piece.
This game is also carried by the inmense amount of furries and role players, tryhards and kingpin wannabees. The game is also mostly rng, but not for those who pay to win.

In some regard the game is just a clusterfuck with almost nothing to do other than pretend you're "grinding" like in a Koei Tecmo game, when really is just everyone doing everything for you while increasing your chances of convulsing.
