This still gives me the nostalgia tears. ;_; My friends and I poured hundreds of hours of our time together on this game and we don't regret a second of it. It was one of the only really bright spots in my life in that period of time and I owe it a lot. PSO2 is a blast now, don't get me wrong, but the original PSO conjures up nothing but fond memories.
Meanwhile I’m only just playing it for the first time lol - definitely one of those games I wish I’d have had when I was younger, the nostalgia factor would certainly multiply my enjoyment of this game tenfold
Can’t tell you how many times I walked into a room on the caves level and feeling bullet proof. Unknowingly a rare lily spawned somewhere out of view and killed me. Friends would laugh and spiral around my dead body. Not knowing what killed me, only to die themselves. So many good laughs, and leaping out of our seats when you see that red box!…. Photon drop NOOOOOOOO😂
God. My heart pounds so hard everytime I hear this. I get great and bad memories. It was a great game but losing so much progress and hours of my life from corrupted memory cards used to kill me. Playing 5 hours straight and the system being unplugged. We've been through so much! ;~;
Many days and nights playing this on my Dreamcast. For a while, it was the only reason my DC who even be on. Hearing the modem dial up and connect...finally signing in and seeing all of the players running around with bubbles above their heads. This was back before the internet became a malicious convention for a-holes ruining a gaming community. The game was great. Still have my original disc. One of my favorite games ever to play in my 35 years of gaming. Started when I was 4 on Coleco and Intellivision! lol The music was perfect.
Couldn't have summed it up better myself mate, was a great great game, soundtrack was outstanding sounded epic, too bad there isn't another game for today, phantasy star online 3 is needed!
I was over a friends house, whom we all loved getting together and playing some PSO. We always did Episode 1 though and never tried 2, so we all decided that one day we're going to go run through Episode 2. I nearly shat my pants when I saw a Del-Sabre in the first level. I also remember being nearly 1 shotted by the Gal-Gryphon. Was fun times, sadly though, right at the red boss portal, as we're about to go fight Olga Flow, my friends mom said it was dinner time and I had to go home.
Oh those first few notes... they go right back to all the good times playing Phantasy Star II, and that alone is what made me want to play this. Once I got into it, though, it was a fantastic game in its own right. I still fondly remember all the adventures I had with my HUnewearl. Perhaps one day we'll get another single player Phantasy Star that captures the magic of this series again. One can dream.
I fell in love with PSO 1 and BB and I wish they went back to this artstyle with PSO 2. I'm hoping for a new entry in the franchise more in line with the artworks and dark tone/atmosphere. It suits more the franchise than the generic anime style PSO 2 went for.
@@firstofskin4058 well, sadly the devs division in sega who work for phantasy star were not sonic team anymore, amd their direction were far feyched in ngs than it was in pso2
I think your opinion is misdirected. This art style is the same as PSO2, but limitated with the hardware at the time. What I believe we would want is the GAMEPLAY that this one had.
@ Nope. I think you should take another look, PSO1 and 2 have nothing in common in regards to art direction and tone. If anything, look up the official artwork for PSO1 (the box art should be enough), it has absolutely nothing in common with PSO2's modern but generic style and that's what I meant. It almost smells dark fantasy in a sci-fi setting where PSO2 is generic anime fan service, it's safe, and lacks character. Basically, I wish they took the artwork from PSO1 or even PS4 and made a new game using that chunky late 80' artstyle.
OMG! This gives me so many memories!! I remember when me and my brother used to play this together! I had to been about 6 years old. I used to kick ass too! I had a girl that used the guns and my brother had the funny lookin magician dude with the glasses.
You know what I love the most about this song? The opening notes up until 0:21 are a call-back to the opening theme for Phantasy Star II on the Genesis.
This game rocked because it was very simple (no in depth storyline) and had awesome weapons and fun to play with friends. I now real sad and stuff for i have no PSO or friends to play with... T_T
@RAYNOR EISSENS I've actually moved to playing the Blue Burst edition on Ephinea servers recently. It's fairly vanilla, aside from a bit of QOL, and they have seasonal events.
Aaahhh I just cheer at the end, I could just shed a tear at how awesome of an expirience and memory this game was. I wish I could give the creators of this game a hug and thank them for sharing this genuinely amazing piece of work to the world.
I LOVE this song! Thank you for uploading it! I havent heard it in a year since my gamecubes busted (as did its replacement i bought). I also bought the xbox version from my friend, but didnt realize that it didnt work on the 360. Best game ive ever played. And ive played most of the games released in america for this series.
The song is called "A whole new world". If you search for it on Google something will probably pop up. Also, I always loved this intro. I've probably seen it hundreds of times when I booted up PSO.
Man i miss this game! I remeber when i was 6 years old when this game came out! Me and my brother used to kick ass on this thing, i was a ranger and my brother was a magic person!
Forget ... Here is the best game in the world .. Did not like the beginning but then taught me to play never wanted to stop! I love the phantasy star online!
*sigh* no matter how many times i watch this vid i never get tired of it....wish it was free to play online though....i miss playing online and getting all the free hacked weps and crap T_T
Omgoshez, I havent played pso online in years and then for the system i dont even want to think about that. This game was so damn awesome, i still love it x3 ill blame this if i start playing again.
I was 8 when I started playing this game with my dad, I had a ranger I called him Jedi at the time it seemed cool I owned online in very hard till my brother made a new guy made me made. Best game ever.
I own both versions of this for the Dreamcast, as well as the Gamecube version, and after recently deciding that I should give the old 8 and 16-bit games in the series a proper go I've started getting a serious urge to play PSO again. Damned nostalgia.
At first I bought this game for the exploit to play gamecube roms, but when I started playing this, I couldn't stop.... I just.... couldn't stop.... it was so addictive, one of the best games ever.
I FREAKING LOVE THIS GAME!!! Awesommme! I've still only goten to the underwater sealab so far in episode II although I've had this game for almost half a year now. Does anyone know where I can find a weapon list? Cause I don't have an addapter and I'd like to know how good my weapons, mag, and armor is considered to others.
This is absolutly Beautiful and sad at the same time. Its like the game makers showing us a brand new world that is ours to explore. However it has a doomed existence. Fuckin tearjerkin'
same here! i randomly put my player to HUcast before i saw the intro and when i saw it i noticed that HUcast was holding a HUGE chainsaw! i want it so bad!
I'm buying this off of ebay or amazon soon. Had a legit 188 humar when i was a teenager with a legit bkb among other rares that i had to grind like a bastard for. A legit lafuteria and aura field also. over a year of time logged into my toon. when i get another copy of this i plan to get to 200 and call this game beaten lol so many times corrupt and still no 200. i have a bit of a rivalry with this game :P
See, all this cool, beautiful and yet dramatic stuff is what I feel is missing from World of Warcraft and games like that! There are fairly few MMOs I can bring myself to play at the moment, but I do play PSU! ^_^
AGh, I remember when I saw this game in the store I just HAD to get it (the guy at the store said it was for online play) but I thought he was joking....I got it and turns out it really was online!!!! I still want to play it lol
it is a awesome game. i got blue burst for pc in a private server and Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Plus for gamecube :D i like being as a male ranger.
Yeah, I found out about it recently. There is a renowned private server, though. Still, I wish they made a new one, adapted to match today's mmos. I would so freaking pay to play it! :)
androids are broken anyway: immune to poison and resistant to most other status effects; good stats; able to use traps that can freeze or confuse entire groups of enemies; able to regenerate HP by standing still. My RAcaseal is the first character I've been able to get through the story without getting bored since my first time through with my HUmar.
there is a private server called Schatv or somethin like that i can't remember. If you google phantasy start online it should show up. You can play online, Free and there's at least 300-400 players round the clock.
no problem. its great they still got the full install of PSO blue burst. i think they got the regular PSO v2 for pc which i didn't tried yet. if u play blue burst, and if u got a anti virus program called AVG. it will interrupted the game loader which it happen to me and it works if u unstall AVG and use a another anti virus program if u use the AVG. avast! program works fine. but anyways, u can private message me in youtube if u got problems. or u can check out their forums too.

@@stangowner8687 Ahhhh, the cries of "RED BOX, RED BOX!!!" only to find YET ANOTHER L&K14 Combat to add to your large collection of them. XD
The first online game I ever played.
RIP you legend.
It was the first console MMO. Way ahead of it's time.
God. My heart pounds so hard everytime I hear this. I get great and bad memories. It was a great game but losing so much progress and hours of my life from corrupted memory cards used to kill me. Playing 5 hours straight and the system being unplugged. We've been through so much! ;~;
SO MANY LOST CHARACTERS
actual tears. the song sounds like music from the heavens omg
For a game that came out in 1999, the whole soundtrack was ahead of it's time
Many days and nights playing this on my Dreamcast. For a while, it was the only reason my DC who even be on.

I felt the same thing every time I saw this.

I saw this promoting the GameCube and XBox versions on the big screen at the Tokyo Game Show in 2002, gave me goosebumps
Hit me right in the feels! SO many memories and good times with friends staying up too late! O.O
"sighs" the first time i saw that giant monster in the depths of the sea never would i have guessed he was a great hero..R.I.P flowen
The best PSO intro by far imo :)

Thank you! I can't stand the new artistic direction this franchise went in its just ugly, boring and just doesn't work.
@@firstofskin4058 well, sadly the devs division in sega who work for phantasy star were not sonic team anymore, amd their direction were far feyched in ngs than it was in pso2
I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like the new art style. I watched streamers play PSO2 and it didn't interest me in the slightest.

They seriously should remake this game and in the remake they should add the online items on the offline version.
most of the online items are broken.
I miss this game so much. :(
OMG! This gives me so many memories!! I remember when me and my brother used to play this together! I had to been about 6 years old. I used to kick ass too! I had a girl that used the guns and my brother had the funny lookin magician dude with the glasses.
I got so addicted to this game! Nothing like a GC with a 56k connection!
Great, great game - roll on the remake!
I miss my lv 157 HUcast.
Standstill shield and Orotiagito.
Corrupt memory card.
RIP.
This makes me want to hook up my DreamCast... damn dude...
EP1&2のPVを見て興奮したのを今でも覚えてる
実際に遊んだら想像をはるかに超える幸せな時間を体験できました
PSOは私の中で永遠に神ゲーです

So many memories and so many friends that were made through this game. It's what makes it simply unforgettable.
I absolutely love this game God bless whoever made it
Ah I remember this so well, I still play it a bit on GameCube because it's so good. Loved soloing and still working on Ultimate ^^.
@RAYNOR EISSENS I've actually moved to playing the Blue Burst edition on Ephinea servers recently. It's fairly vanilla, aside from a bit of QOL, and they have seasonal events.
God damn does that theme hold up well
That drop in the music is so epic.
I miss you pso and nice too meet you pso2
Aaahhh I just cheer at the end, I could just shed a tear at how awesome of an expirience and memory this game was. I wish I could give the creators of this game a hug and thank them for sharing this genuinely amazing piece of work to the world.
I LOVE this song! Thank you for uploading it! I havent heard it in a year since my gamecubes busted (as did its replacement i bought). I also bought the xbox version from my friend, but didnt realize that it didnt work on the 360. Best game ive ever played. And ive played most of the games released in america for this series.
just got to ultimate and only lv69 , really need to level up a bit !! still a great game after all these years !!
Nine years and counting, PSO.
Keep burning brightly, PSO. I'll still play ya.
The song is called "A whole new world". If you search for it on Google something will probably pop up.
Also, I always loved this intro. I've probably seen it hundreds of times when I booted up PSO.
I've only played PSU series.
But even without any memory of this game, the intro feels so magical.
Almost made me teary eyed.
PSO for Gamecube was such an amazing game...
This video brings back some really great memories.
Man i miss this game! I remeber when i was 6 years old when this game came out! Me and my brother used to kick ass on this thing, i was a ranger and my brother was a magic person!
I've gotta hunt this game down now; listening to this reminded me of just how awesome it was.
no game has even come close to the love i had and have for this game, may it RIP.
Who remembers seeing this for the first time and just gazing at the screen in awe! hehe ^^
Looking back on it, this game seems so ancient! Which makes it so much more emotional thinking about it!
I forgot how good this game was, thank you for posting this and for bringing back my joyous memories of this exceptional SEGA game.
5/5

The nostalgia is real.
I miss this game so much brings a tear to my eye
Forget ... Here is the best game in the world .. Did not like the beginning but then taught me to play never wanted to stop! I love the phantasy star online!

this game is amazing. i love this game. yeah the lvls get boring but i love how there is a chance to get something rare and kick ass with it

I still have this one. :)
the best intro of phantasy star series
this brings back so many memories....i actually had some of the weapons in this vid... :( Any ideas on how to get the soundtrack for the intro?
Yes, I just remember seeing the colours of PSO from my dream when i woke up, good times.
Im a little sad that they'll never make a game like this again.
if your ign was argon i think i have played with you before
@@saffron2759 Can't be, I never used argon as a name outside of youtube ^^;.

The Main Menu Song for Phantasy Star Online is "Song For Eternal Story"
Got goosebumps from the 1st second
god, the feels
same here! i randomly put my player to HUcast before i saw the intro and when i saw it i noticed that HUcast was holding a HUGE chainsaw! i want it so bad!

😰 old school as hell. what a game, shame they could never really recapture it. I think online gamers just aren't at sociable as they used to be.
See, all this cool, beautiful and yet dramatic stuff is what I feel is missing from World of Warcraft and games like that!

This is my favourite game ever
My childhood ❤
God things were so much cooler when I was young. This planet is doomed.
Bah your bickering,
Anyway thank you for posting, always good to see this game. Ah the time flies you elusive creature.
You got me beat. My white 1019 corrupted and I lost my Lv106 RAmarl two years ago.
You should play on the Ephinea server on PC any old potato will run pso
AGh, I remember when I saw this game in the store I just HAD to get it (the guy at the store said it was for online play) but I thought he was joking....I got it and turns out it really was online!!!!
I still want to play it lol
This video was posted in 2007 when you could still play gamecube, dreamcast, xbox, and blueburst on their original official servers.
I wish I could have played this game.
my exact thoughts
just got blue burst and I'm gunna be let's playing a gem in my childhood
it is a awesome game. i got blue burst for pc in a private server and Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 Plus for gamecube :D
i like being as a male ranger.
@drake34565 It's only going to be released in Japan, other regions will have to wait for it, which will probably take another 3-5 years.
Cool intro. And this song on the intro sounds pretty lovely. What's the name of thiis song? I like it.
i REALLY want to see this piece be played Live with an orchestra and a beautiful female singer ;)
Ah Ragol how I miss thee.....
Finally returning to this world in 2019! PSO2 is coming to the west!!!!!
Yes!!

Ok, I have to go play this.
Nostalgia'd hard!
I hear ya man =D. Friday night with your friends up till the early morning.
there is a private server called Schatv or somethin like that i can't remember. If you google phantasy start online it should show up. You can play online, Free and there's at least 300-400 players round the clock.
no problem. its great they still got the full install of PSO blue burst. i think they got the regular PSO v2 for pc which i didn't tried yet.
if u play blue burst, and if u got a anti virus program called AVG. it will interrupted the game loader which it happen to me and it works if u unstall AVG and use a another anti virus program if u use the AVG. avast! program works fine.
but anyways, u can private message me in youtube if u got problems.
or u can check out their forums too.
