June 2023

Played about 5,500 hours on Xbox from Base PSO2 until now, if you want to be surrounded by people but feel alone and develop a fashion addiction, this game is 100% for you. the second hand economy will always be more expensive than you can afford for the one item you're looking for unless you swipe for more scratches.

May 2022

Where there's a new scratch every month (maybe even weekly) and 'actual' updates are far and few between. Story is practically non-existent. Fashion IS the endgame; even then you most likely have to play the original Phantasy Star unless you want to grind weeks' at a time to get anything It's a shame that there's not a separate/dedicated launcher for OG PSO

" Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis (2021) Platform used to play: Steam Game info: https://pso2.com/players/ Opinion (at the time of writing and biased, mainly because it's my view): Action and simplicity throughout proved to be a great combination for this title. Very grind-fest friendly game with a bit of story that lets you delve into the action. Controls that they allowed a 2-year old to craft as they are awkward and uncomfortable. Gameplay that is fun, fluid, constant, and quite endless. Graphical style (for NGS) was quite nice and stylish which allowed me to play (I truly dislike the graphics in the original title PSO2). The audio is fine for the title with concerts adding to already cool varied soundtrack (as you are allowed to change the music in-game via some mechanics). Scores Category Score Overall 2️⃣, ⭐⭐ Story 3 Controls -3 Gameplay 5 Graphics 3 Audio 2 "

July 2021

Sorry, I'm a little biased here. I was introduced to the series when Phantasy Star Universe was released to the West on Xbox 360 and it was AWESOME! It was one of my first experiences with online gaming! I can't believe it took me this long to jump into PSO2 when the base game finally came to the West again in 2020. I followed it for a while but I guess it fell off my radar. Anyway, the New Genesis (NGS) overhaul is amazing! At least what we have right now anyway. I know SEGA plans on adding more content in the future but it's really good so far! Jumping right into the game, you'll be introduced to one of the BEST character creators I've ever seen for a anime style game and there are a TON of cosmetics you can get later on. What's even better is that most items from base PSO2 can be transferred to NGS, allowing for a vast amount of customization! Speaking of, all cosmetics appear to be earned in a handful of ways. They can be earned through quests, the player market (if you afford it) or through scratch tickets which is the premium lootbox system. I absolutely LOVE seeing everyone's characters! There are some really interesting ideas running around! The gameplay feels really good! Combat feels so fluid and really makes me feel like a Shonen protagonist! Seriously, all of the animations look super appealing! There is a handful of stuff to do in NGS. Though, if it does get too redundant, there is the option to transfer to base PSO2 and there is so much to do that it's slightly overwhelming! Since this is a Free to Play game, I definitely recommend at least trying and see if you like it.

June 2021

Pro - Engaging combat and multiple weapons per class keep things fresh. Music adds a nice element of immersion and a relaxed feel while exploring the world for resources. Friendly and helpful community (which says a lot these days) that did a great job of filling in the GUI blanks and nuances of the game. Also, the developer and community managers have done wonderful with updates, patches, notes, and news regarding the software's life cycle, which is still in it's infant stage. Con - Small "open-world" area for start, but is easily forgotten once you set about exploring and teaming up for some fast or chill (depending on your class and playstyle/ weapon) mobbing. Would recommend, but maybe take your time with it as, again, once main and side quests are done, it grinding dailies/ weekly; do know there is nothing really "grindy" about said daily/ weekly tasks however.
