Phantasy Star Online 2 is a great combat system wrapped up in a bloated and sometimes confusing MMO-lite package that uses its charming anime flair to stand out from the competition.

The problem is, Phantasy Star Online 2 still feels like a game nearing a decade old mark. Like man MMOs of our current generation, however fun they continue to be, and however nostalgic PSO players may feel when playing, it still has a quality of being a little dated. Still, there is plenty of fight left in PSO2, and if you haven’t played it, or any version of Phantasy Star Online before, then it’s going to be new to you. Phantasy Star Online 2 is a fantastic game with a lot to offer. With a generous Free 2 Play payment model, PSO2 is certainly one of the best options out there for gamers looking to try something different, without overspending.

Like many expansive online projects, the opportunity is there to really get sucked into a new and exciting world.

Legendary game full of longevity and fun things to do, with a great soundtrack as well.

I have played PSO ultima BB weeks before playing PSO2 in 2020 when it released in NA. I played PSO back in the days on gamecube online for a good bit as well. Let me tell, you, PSO2 is quite disappointing. I'd much rather continue playing the original one or Ultima BB. It's just the gameplay is not as tight. It's nice that it's fast paced, but it doesn't feel as rewarding.

Un buen MMORPG cargado de contenido, eventos y horas de diversión. Puedes cumplir misiones, farmear experiencia/objetos, pasar la **** en el casino, asistir a los eventos diarios, raids, conciertos, unirte a una alianza y conocer a jugadores... Un sin fin de posibilidades que te esperan.

I loved PSO on Xbox in 2003 very much, but this game feels too different, in the wrong way. Weird walking animations like slippery footsteps, more mainstreamed combat system, complicated menus, menu sounds that will let explode your head, loot that feels not important. I am very dissappointed. Waited for so long. Would like to play the older PSO again.

Game mechanics do not port well to Xbox and nobody seems to join parties. It's like playing an mmo solo and you can't do a lot of the missions solo.
