<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><EM>Phantasy Star
Universe</EM> director and Sonic Team Producer Takao Miyoshi was recently
interviewed by Kikizo Games about <EM>Phantasy Star Universe</EM>! (Surprise!
lol)</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The interview doesn't give that much away, although he does reveal some interesting insights into
what's next for <EM>Phantasy Star</EM>. Aparently they're considering and would
like to re-produce <EM>Universe</EM> for another Next Generation console, which
console though is anyones guess, although there'd be good money on the Xbox360
with SEGA's love for the console so far!</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Other interesting
tidbits include concerns on the Soundtrack to <EM>PSU</EM> which uses not only
the SEGA internal audio crew, but also the talents of external producers, which
will no doubt be interesting to hear. Of course alike <EM>PSO</EM>, expect lot's
of orchestral backing! The producing team also is still undecided about whether
to setup a subscription (Hunters License) system for online play, ultimately
leaving the decisions with SEGA of America and SEGA of Europe for the western
versions of the game.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><EM>Universe</EM> will
also not support PlayStation2 to Sony PSP connectivity, or
Widescreen/Progressive Scan TV compatability.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Last but not least
though, the most interesting news to hear is that the game aparently now has a
tentative Japanese release date... <STRONG>30th December 2005</STRONG>! Just
after Christmas? that's crazy i hear you shout... But it's not final, and
remember, <EM>PSO</EM> was only released a couple of days before Christmas, and
look how big that is!</FONT></P>
