Hey gang!
If you played Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast, Gamecube or even the Blue Burst PC version than this thread has probably caught your attention.
Phantasy Star 0 brings that classic gameplay of this incredible game to the hand held Nintendo DS with very satisfying results.
The story is all new and the setting is different. You're not running around on Ragol. It's a whole new planet to explore!
The enemies are changed up, and while there is an offline story mode to work through...the online action is where it's at. Connecting to Wi-Fi you can run 4 player co-op with friends or strangers. When playing with friends you have a chat feature very reminiscent of the DS's picto-chat. When running with strangers you have 20 pre-typed messaged you can easily flash to communicate with your team-mates.
The story seems interesting enough, but anyone who plays this game series knows it's all about one thing. LOOT!
The items in this game are worth getting. All the classics are back: Monomates, monofluids, so on and so forth. In addition, MAGs are back. You'll want to feed them your items so they can evolve and fire powerful photon blasts. In wi-fi play each player has their own loot drop on the screen so grab as much as you can carry!
Weapons are varied with several more options available than before, like gun blades and claws and bazookas. In addition, several weapons have a "photon skill" that you can charge up to use for a devastating attack.
For DS graphics this game looks great. The camera can be a little tricky just like the old PSO. Overall though if you enjoyed PSO, have a DS and are looking for a futuristic RPG with easy 4-player wi-fi access, this just might be the game for you.
Find me in Vent and we'll trade friend codes and get a game going!
