I forgot where you are in the game but I remember that music and that labyrinth being really tough.

PSO = grind to get the shit you want NGS = grind to get the shit you want Thry already remade it.

I can't wait for some really shit anniversary events in NGS. Sega literally does not care for this franchise anymore in any significant way and it kills me inside to know this.

Played one of the Phantasy Stars at my babysitters as a kid, was quite fun. Had too much fun PKing people using a Game Shark and hacked items in PSO on Dreamcast. Enjoyed playing PSO Episode 1 & 2 on Gamecube later with friends land partying. And years later one of those friends showed me PSO Blue Burst, which was an amazing way to reexperience it. Never got into PS02, it delivered on the graphics, though I wasn't into the crazy change in pace, felt too different. The music and sounds in PSO were awesome aswell, I never forgot them, especially the telepipe noise.

Im personally okay with no sequels/remakes of the original 4 games. Those first games had a legacy and phantasy star 4 was clearly marked as “the end” so let it be the end, why milk the franchise for profit like every other franchise to the point where the franchise resembles nothing it originally intended to be? *cough* final fantasy *cough*. It’s good to see a major franchise end. As for the online series I never played it so I can’t say if it “deserves” to end so I can’t really say much on that end, but imo the original series is good where it is, though a phantasy star remastered collection with some additional options would be cool. Reiko Kodama is also gone so the series would have a major tonal shift, RIP.

Hope to see the GameCube version of Phantasy Star Online come - physically - to either the Switch before its life cycle comes to end, or to the rumored Switch 2.

they have PSO2. which is prob making good money from cosmetics. u know how it is with F2P models now. so i doubt they will ever do anything Phantasy Star related again. esp back to its original sci-fi fantasy roots

Rieko Kodama was the heart and soul of the classic Phantasy Star franchise and she died in 2022, so I doubt they're planning to do anything anytime soon.

Getting Infinity on Steam would be amazing since they never fucking cared to bring it out in the West for some reason. I used to spent multiple hundreds of hours on Portable 2 back then on my PSP.

I have every copy of PSO sans PC

you are wrong on multiple levels regarding rpgs, atlus is very much keeping rpgs in their turnbased state and their title refantazio nearly won game of the year way too pesimistic video

PSO1 Remake ❤

I would love to see a remaster but at the same time I’m equally as apprehensive, so many remasters tend to update games so much they lose their charm. Also I love how pick-up-and-play PSO 1&2 was, sure you needed to really to get into the nitty gritty details to get the most from it but even a total newbie could realise “oh it’s basically a three-note-rhythm to get a full combo” 😺👍

I'm happy that at least for now we have PSO2 classic and I've plenty of story content to finally finish, as well as end game gearing and goals to achieve. The gameplay still holds up and it's been a fun time playing multiplayer with a few people from the community. I can see there being an eventual drought though when that's done and I'm waiting on slow NGS content additions. PSOBB has the benefit of slower paced long-term rare hunting that probably doesn't work for live service model games, but gives it incredible longevity. If Sega could somehow either improve NGS to include some of those elements, or perfectly balance a new release around content, the live service stuff (probably necessary evil to appease shareholders) and longer term endgame / fun grind content then that would be ideal.

Still play PSO to this day off and on great old game

I'm still waiting for SEGAJP to sell PSO2 Complete Edition ver. Offline. Seeing as they sold the episode installer discs for the original PSO2 across the years, it would definitely be a collector's dream buy especially for fans.

2:50 is that Maid Privaty from Nikke? Awesome if so.

NGS is souless. SEGA needs to pick up the slack. Even the music is lacking compared to that of PSO2.

Well SEGA announced they wanted to focus on reviving old IPs so it’s possible they could bring back a Phantasy Star style JRPG.

Id love for a pso v1 and 2 for switch. I dont even care it its offline only. Id give SEGA sooo many photon drops if that where to happen. Watching this video made want to plug in my dreamcast and boot up pso. man i love the old school pso games.

AWESOME VIDEO! 😊❤

Did you know you can play the original PSO in VR? th-cam.com/video/J-7ELyXKAWw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_eaB4KjDpWlFcgUB Someone is re-making the whole game!

Love the original 4. When it went to PSO, I was out. I would rather play 3 and go through all the generations rather than play PSO.

So there will be a Phantasy Star TTRPG coming out this summer. Pre-orders are open now.

I just want a remake of the old PSO with tons of improvements and new content~ 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Personally my dream thing for the 25th anniversary would be a revival of the handheld games, ideally with a title that goes back to some of the original's mechanics. Something that wouldn't be a live service title so wouldn't compete too much with PSO2/NGS. So basically a Phantasy Star Zero 2. I really wouldn't want a remake of the original PSO, though - I feel like so much of what made that title special is rooted in when it came out, before so many aspects of the action RPG genre were standardized and modernized. Heck, just look at Phantasy Star Zero - I love that game, but comparing it to PSO it's impressive how many of the original game's strengths it discards, and how many of the things it keeps just hold it back. And considering that both the general gaming public and the development team are much further removed from the original PSO than they were when PSZ was made. The best case scenario for a PSO remake would probably be something like the FF7 remake: A good game that keeps many familiar trappings, but the resulting two titles are basically impossible to even compare, much less suggest that they may be in any way equivalent or that either can "replace" the other.

all they gotta do is make blue burst available on steam or something and make it compatible with xinput and modern native resolution support. It's a perfect game already, just needs some QoL for modern systems

And i still havent got yasha and sealed j sword offline

considering they are doing a crazy taxi and jet set radio remakes so theres a high chance a pso remaster or remake is a possibility as pso is more popular then the jrpg versions, i dont know anyone who talks about the original games they either talk only about online and pso2, it would be cool to see pso ver2/bb being on the ps4/5 xbox and pc would be pretty cool.

i love your passion

If this got ported for steam/console this would do WELL AND AMAZING.

happy to see pso still has fallowing i love ep 1 and 2 and the bosses my fav dark flow

I have zero confidence that current day sega would manage to do a good job on a pso1 remake for two reasons : - It's a very old clunky early 3D game that would need a lot of work and thought into actually modernizing the core mechanisms or I bet people would quit in 3 days once the novelty/rose colored glasses wore off - Look at what a pool of degen looking chars lobby sitting mess pso2/ngs has become and they have no clue how to manage it in any way shape or form, the pso atmosphere, itemization etc are all gone. I personally wouldn't be interested in playing pso1 again with any of that going on. I sadly trully believe what made the franchise great, the music, the creepy atmosphere etc won't come back. Some other studio gonna have to make a spiritual successor somewhen down the line as far as Im concerned.

Id love to just get an official pso port on any modern console.

This series is dead and NGS is a fucking disgrace

I just want Sega Ages Phantasy Star 1-4 (choice of either the originals or an updated version like the jp only PS2 versions) ported to Steam in English. Of course, I'd like PSOBB remastered too, but not if they go after servers.

The best middleground between PSO1 and PSO2. PSO2 was mega fun, but the stats felt like an afterthought that game. Close to endgame was basically just full glass-cannon builds because almost everything could 1 shot you.

I really don't think PSO is going to come back... It's mechanically archaic and it's VERY small. There's zero chance. And SEGA isn't willing to put the FF7 Rermake effort into any of Phantasy Star. A nice dream, but never gonna happen.

I still remember how people thought the teaser for IDOLA was actually teasing Phantasy Star 5. The game was good but now lost media 🙃

They could release a mobile port. This way, they can excuse the jankiness with being easier for mobile phone players, because anyone that has played games on a touchscreen will know how horrible it is, and so a slower-paced game like PSO could work really well. Maybe they could work with pserver providers in some capacity with the server-side stuff.

Thanks for the love on this video, it's really appreciated! If you've never tried PSO or want to play with others, come and join my Discord! discord.gg/Mx2Xb8RSqu Since posting this video, Sega's LiveOps team for NGS have posted a New Year's message. Near the end it says "Thanks to all ARKS, we will be celebrating the 4th anniversary of NGS, the 13th anniversary of PSO2, and the 25th anniversary of the PSO series this year." So, the Phantasy Star team are at least aware!

At most I expect them to do a 25th anniversary login week on NGS where you get cardboard cutouts of a couple characters and sprays that no one uses with a gacha completely unrelated to the series history to undermine it

I love PSO but i think Phantasy Star 4 is the best game in the series.

I think I'd be interested in a more re-make style approach to PSO, trying to stay true to form for what PSO was but updating it to essentially be its own game. Since I think any sort of direct-rerelease would ultimately probably cannabalize/be cannabalized from private servers, like you said. I'm hoping to finish PSP2i's story this year so I'll be celebrating that way, at least!

As someone who started with PSO2 and NGS I would love to see PSO or BB remastered/remade as frankly NGS has been a disappointment more and more with each passing update failing to live up to the story of PSO2

Personally, I'd rather they didn't do a remaster of PSO1, mainly because they'd then have to turn their attention to the likes of Ephinea and shut them down, only to drop support for the remaster in like two years. Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, on the other hand... now _that's_ a game that would really benefit from a port to modern hardware. Just tidy up the graphics and animations a bit and you have the very best version of Phantasy Star Universe around.

I need a new pso. Or a remaster of some kind. I've played this game far too much already, i'm completely burned out of any desire to do so again. I tried doing a new playthrough the other day and I made it as far as seabed. I've been playing the same maps for far too long. I appreciated PSU and I loved PSO2 (before NGS), but nothing hit quite as hard as the original did, and I don't think i'm ever going to get that joy back.
