Quote:PSO III News
Yuji Naka, Sonic Team leader and all around game guru, recently passed on some info regarding Sonic Team's upcoming addition to the Phantasy Star Online series, PSO Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution:
- The Japanese beta test is set to begin in July, but could possibly slip to August if need be.
- All registrations carry over from PSO Episode I&II, so players do not have to re-enter data. Quick and easy. It would be assumed that this not only applies to the serial numbers, but to Hunter's Licenses as well.
- Episode III players can share lobbies with the owners of the version 1.1 software in Japan, while owners of the original release of PSO Episode I&II will have separate lobbies. The version 1.1 software was reported to have bug and glitch fixes in it, and was rumored to disable item hacking, as well.
The playable version of PSO Episode III at last week's E3 was only 30% complete, but looked like an interesting concept. Can Sonic Team get the game polished enough for beta testing by July? Let's hope so, as any delays in Japan can lead to delays here. As we learn more about this title, we will pass the info along to all of you faithful readers.

So you can share lobbies of GC PSO with Episode 3??!!! That would be cool.
But wouldn't that mean that they have to include the lobby part of GC PSO into Episode 3? WOuldn't the two graphical styles clash? I mean Episode 3 is cartoony but PSO isn't.....
I can't wait :p :p

Think it might be good yea, a first for direct competing on PSO... i guess theres battle mode but it kinda sucks im my opinion. At least the card game will probably require some skill and good tactics to win a game :O

from what i've heard is that ep3 is is not going to be the last phantasy star online, it will just not be n pioneer 2, so it will take place, and the way (from what i've heard again) to battle might be like the old PSO games, would not that be awsomke but this is ust from what i've heard from a sega geek.
look for me my name character names are:
Shadow, HUmar
Sakura, FOnewearl
Krun, RAmar
Brolly, HUmar

well if ep 3 is going to clash they would have to shut down the online system (im betting from 2-6 weeks) but it would be worth it. i mean ep 1 people like just the mines, ruins, and hs, and ep 2 is good for the sea chambers, so if pso 3 would clash, we'd hv more options. and more options, means more fun!
