I started this one already, and I was pleased! This one seems a lot of fun... unlike *cough*Sword Art Online*cough, so give it a go. I'm shocked no one else seems to be watching this one...

I'm still hopeful about eventual localization of the games but... I guess I shouldn't...
I will definitely give this a watch, it's probably better to watch first before playing source material so I'm not disappointed =D

Well, it's actually based on game contrary to SAO which was adapted to games :D

I refuse to watch this until Sega localise the game like they said they were going to however many years ago it was now ._.

...well, I might give it a look-in somewhen; I do love Phantasy Star as a series and this probably the closest I'm going to get to the game. The animation looks pretty too, and hopefully the soundtrack will be good. Seems like my sort of thing. I'm just so damn bitter the anime has been licensed but the game hasn't been localised.

MC clicks randomize. Gets standard look, lmao.

Three years now. Approaching the fourth soon, lol.

Honestly, it's better to play on the Japanese servers. As far as I'm aware, the game isn't IP-blocked (but there was a situation during beta that simulated the same results for foreigners) unless you live in SEA, and almost all of the content is translated with the English fan-patch/tweaker. Translation from what I've seen is on the iffy side, but it's enough to get the bare minimum.

Plus, a Global version would be horribly gimped since we probably wouldn't get any of the cool anime collaboration items.

Also, which was the latest localization in the franchise? It's been so long, was it C.A.R.D. Revolution or was it Phantasy Star Zero? Or was it Phantasy Star Universe? I can't recall. I do recall CARD was horrible and Zero was absurdly hard.

So like... never? =D

I hope this one works out lol

Random SAO hate is still hip it seems

 

[Nah]

....man they would make an anime for it before localizing the game -_-

It's just really annoying that they said they would release the game outside of Japan but have yet to after almost 4 years, with basically no indication if it'll ever. Like Sega if you changed your mind just fucking tell us, it's not that hard.

'sides idek how to make that work
