WTF? Seriously, a game that kicks as much ass as that should definitely have it's own forums on this site.

Why would the site intentionally leave out this game?

I am sorry but I have never heard of it until now.

Judging by the trailer it looks really neat. Are you going to be an active player? Is it going to be released an all platforms on Oct 24th?

I have heared of the game. But not much. It might possibly be the next "sleeper" game that gets a lot of players without much hype.

Yep, that name was unknown to me too. But I'll still check it out.

History
----------------------------------------------------------------

The first Phantasy Star was for the Sega Master System. It was first released in Japan on December 20, 1987, and was one of the first cartridges to include battery backed RAM for saving game positions. The game featured an amazing (at the time) set of 3D maze-like dungeons which you traversed in real time in a first person mode. Phantasy Star, along with Dragon Quest (1986) and Final Fantasy, distinguished itself as a pioneer of what came to be defined console role-playing.

The series is noteworthy in that all of its games take place in the same universe, as opposed to many RPG series such as Final Fantasy (wherein successive game settings are unrelated, or, at most, superficially related). Each major Phantasy Star game adds a bit more to the series' overall story, culminating in Phantasy Star IV which ties all of the series' plot elements together into a final, epic conclusion.

The Phantasy Star Online games are their own sub-series. They continue the theme of a persistent game-universe, but it is a different one than the original games.
[edit]

Damn. That's a lot of games... Hehe...

Balgosa · 10-19-2006, 11:24 PM

Phantasy star 3 on the Genesis was the best .. and hardest to find . it didnt have as big of a following. but the story was cool

Onlis · 10-20-2006, 12:23 AM

Yes, the game is older than the Final Fantasy series (and better imo).

Edit: Was also the first console MMO! (Dreamcast)

I am going to be an active player, and the release date is in fact Oct 24th. However, an Open Beta is currently in progress for Xbox 360 owners.
Lucky them!
