Not surprised, being an avid PSO player during the late gamecube era, this was the one online game that was always a headache to play, that in spite of Sega having gotten the hacking under control by that time. The worst I ever dealt with is one month they double billed me, refunded the error and then suspended my account for non payment. Customer service had me back in about an hour later. People back on the dreamcast often had their memory cards wiped when some moron would freeze the server. V1 also made it a trivial matter to steal items. Item duping was also common and Sega typically suspended or banned the person who received the dupe rather than the one who made it. If this delay gets us a game that is run competently I am fine with it.

That's what happen when the info isn't processed on the server side and on the client side. Massive cheating.

I just hope this is the one Phantasy Star game with text that doesn't read like it came out of Babelfish. Phantasy Star Online Episodes I - III had some noxiously stiff dialogue.

Funny thing, Phantasy Star Zero managed to avoid that...

I started playing PSO2 last fall, and it has improved quite a bit, especially content-wise.


I haven't had a single problem with the game, and i don't see any reason the english version should have any.

The more time they need to work on this, the better. Sega botched Phantasy Star Universe bad and it seems like this time they don't want this to turn out that way.

Lame sauce. Oh well, I guess waiting longer ain't too bad. PSO was awesome back in the day, so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Don't jerk me around Sega, I've already told ATLUS to screw off (with P4a), I've got no qualms with telling you to get lost too.
