Phantasy Star Online Version 2

"What it all boils down to is an imbalance of the cost-to-value ratio. PSOv2 really doesn't give fans enough to warrant the steep dip in the wallet. With the right online experience, PSO can be a really fun game, but between the original and Version 2, the scales just don¹t add up."

"Converting a high-level character from PSO to Version 2 will let you access another of Version 2's enhancements: the "ultimate" difficulty setting... Actual online games now feature more options... After much speculation and drama over the fees to play online, the 15 dollars for three months of unlimited play doesn't look so bad. It's significantly cheaper than the fee for some online PC games..."

"With its better balance, new features, and addictive gameplay, PSO Version 2 stands out as one of the last great games for the system."

"Battle Mode makes attacking other players legitimate for PSO Ver.2... Ver.2 items and weapons appear downgraded to PSO players... To PSO Ver.2 players, PSO teams will still appear in white in the team list, while Ver.2 teams will appear as orange text. Original PSO players cannot see PSO Ver.2 teams in the team list... If you don't have a credit card to access PSO Ver.2 Online Mode, it's seriously time to apply for one..."

"For all the great additions they've made in PSO Version 2, there are some changes that I think should've definitely been made."
