Actually its only called Phantasy Star Universe so far and Sega are yet to announce whether it is offline or online or online and offline.
It also hasn't been announced on which console its coming out on, it could even be on the DS for all we know. :p (Although i hope not)

I seriously hope its a real time MMORPG or a real time RPG along the same storylines as the original series.

But right now whos cares? Im off to worship my Sega shrine.

No, it isn't the new Gameboy. It is seperate to the Gameboy brand. It is Nintendo's third pillar. It will co-exist along side the GBA brand.

The Nintendo DS is going to be launched at an affordable price, my guess is £149.99.

I can't wait for the DS, it's going to change gaming for the better.

So we don't know if this is online or offline then?

What's with the news post on the main page? Does Lee-Yoshi know something we don't? o_O

It's all speculation at the minute. Sega haven't announced what format it will be on, or if it's even a sequel to PSO. It could well be a fully fledged Phantasy Star sequel, or even remake.

I just watched the video and imo it is pretty safe to say that this game is not an MMORPG in the same vein as PSO. The way each character is introduced and the individuality of each makes it look very much like an normal RPG and unlike the PSO style ones.

I really think someone should edit the newspost on the homepage until we are certain what this game is.

Edit: I just read a post elsewhere and someone posted a still from the video:


Did Ign just add that text saying PSO2 or is it really a whole new PSO?! :O

Even so, i have just edited the frontpage news so that only the strong facts remain. The website i was reading the news from near enough stated the game as Online, and for the Nintendo Gamecube...

I'll update it only as strong facts come in! Hopefully something else from E3 will come up about it!
