Quote:Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution (Cube) - Probably the second most exciting thing on the E3 list (if it is what it sounds like), PSOE3 (handy) expands the universe offering "a new style of strategic combat", combining card collection and deck settings with team-based battle tactics. There will be the usual lobby areas with status upgrades and all that, and strategic combat via a "turn-based card system", which sounds a bit like Lost Kingdoms. Online and offline play will be thrown in, and on the whole it sounds like Sega wants to develop the franchise without alienating its core userbase - a noble ambition.
Along with the news on the new PSO game for GC, I have some screenshots i'd like to share.

These screenshots come from gamespress.com.
the pics look awesome! I wonder if it'll be like a final fantasy where you go exploring and unfold the story with the turn based fight sections thrown in...
Here are the images just in case you're too lazy to download Starmans zip file! :p

Ok how nice does that look. Looks like they are heading towards final fantasy design art works.
Hmm pso is pretty much turn based isn't it?
It'll be more taem based/ You have to depend on others to play the right cards. And once you know your team well, you will be unstoppable. (At least in theory

). I think it will be good. Graphics look nice. Cross between real and comic book.
I reckon its definately got potential, but i think i need more details before i give my final verdict lol.

I personally think its a mistake to change the essence of the game as it is. Why not just have this "Episode 3 card" nonsense as a seperate game?!
I think it has spoilt it by using a Card based way of fighting. I think the original way of fighting is fine.
I totally love the graphics of this game. I just can't wait for it. Anything PS is finger-licking goooooood.
Ive got to admit, the graphics are amazing. I just dont like the ideo about using the cards to fight
