Yes, we all love Phantasy Star Universe, and we're even more in love with the fact that the game is never going to be released... BUT WAIT! There maybe some hope now as 'the_importer' has once again gotten in contact with Ragol.co.uk, and having contacted an aparently reliable games import website otherwise known as NSC (Online at http://www.nscx.com), the Japanese release date has been set for Phantasy Star Universe currently at 31st August 2006.

Also having had a quick gander myself at other websites, other Japanese import games site Lik-Sang.com has a release date, not for the Japanese version, but for the American NTSC version of Universe! That is set at 24th October 2006.

If the dates are indeed true (And they seem to be fairly on the money from what we all know at this time with it's official Autumn '06 release date), then we've still got a little wait on our hands unfortunately. Also if they're true, SEGA will really be trying their luck as releasing a game around the end of this year on established consoles will of course mean throwing Universe into a new console release impact zone as both Sony's PlayStation3 and Nintendo's Wii consoles are set to debut at just around this time.

October 24th is also the date that North American game retailers such as GameStop have:

Seems logical since it would be less than two months after the Japanese date of August 31st.

Ah very cool, so maybe, just maybe it's another date we should mark on our calendars? :O

yay! hurray! yes! yes! YES! I mean, that date isn't too close to where we are now, but its okay...I mean, school is almost over, so most of our long wait will be spent chilling out. and we all know time flies when you chill out! so, we're gonna have a fun time waiting- together!
