PSO2 - Android & iOS Versions Announced, Free to Play

[Beat X500]

Just been looking at the latest PSO2 stuff and found this article.

The last time gamers heard news about Phantasy Star Online 2 was back at the Tokyo Game Show 2011. Sega recently announced that the sequel to Phantasy Star Online will adopt a free-to-play business model.


According to Famitsu, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game will be using an item transaction system, so players will need to pay money for items or certain benefits to speed up level grinding. In addition, Sega announced that the game will be out on iOS and Android. Previously, the game was confirmed for the PC and the PS Vita platform, with the latter being announced early this month.

Im concerned whether or not the Smartphone versions are going to be lacking in features, etc, due to being essentially a mobile game :/

They will most likely downgrade graphical quality.
It's a new aproach i guess, Bioware also released a Mass effect game for mobile devices and it affects the mass effect 3 game, but sega seems to be making the game run on pretty much anything.

Good news! But they still need to announce a proper console version IMO. *sigh* Come on SEGA!!
