Obwohl nur mit einem 33k6 Modem ausgestattet, steht die Verbindung zum SEGAnet Server in der Regel ohne Verzögerungen, so dass ein Ruckelfreies Spielen ermöglicht wird. Da stört die fehlende Breitbandanbindung kaum. Ebenfalls scheint "Phantasy Star Online" von der Spielergemeinde akzeptiert worden zu sein, da man auf dem SEGAnet Server praktisch nie alleine ist. Lediglich die anfallenden Telefongebühren könnten diesem Spiel negativ angelastet werden. Ansonsten ist "Phantasy Star Online" das Online RPG für Konsolen schlechthin, und das nicht weil es keine andere Konsole mit Modem gibt. Damit hat sich SEGA wieder einmal an die Spitze der Rollenspiele gesetzt.

If you were expecting a complete redo, you’ll be sorely disappointed. Version 2 is essentially the same game with new material scattered along the outskirts.

If you're already a Phantasy Star Online fan, Version 2 is a no-brainer – it adds more levels for you to attain, a new difficulty, and a Battle mode that is great for proving who amongst your online friends is the PSO king. For the rest of the gaming populace, this just marks the passing of a great system, since waiting for Phantasy Star Online on GameCube may be a wiser choice.

Je dois avoir tout dit sur ce jeu qui fait partie de mes RPG préférés, PSO ver.2 est le genre de jeux que l'on se lasse jamais surtout lorsqu'on y joue online. Un achat indispensable sur la dernière bécane de SEGA... à moins que vous attendiez sa sortie imminente sur Game Cube ou sur XBox. Au programme : un mode multijoueur en offline, de nouvelles classes (HUcaseal, RAmarl et FOmar), de nouvelles areas (3 pour le moment), monstres et armes. De quoi se régaler encore plus ! À vous de voir !

Cette version 2 constitue plus une extension de PSO qu'un nouvel épisode à part entière, mais le concept se révèle toujours aussi efficace pour peu que vous jouiez en ligne. Si le jeu devient vite répétitif en solo, le mode online assure un intérêt constamment renouvelé en offrant la possibilité de rencontrer de nouveaux joueurs avec lesquels grouper. Les parties deviennent alors particulièrement immersives, et les haut-level pourront trouver un challenge à leur mesure grâce au mode Ultimate.

Less than a year after PSO's release, Yuji Naka and Sonic Team follow up on the original PSO with Phantasy Star Online Version 2. PSO Version 2 retains PSO's core gameplay and enhances it with gameplay tweaks and extra modes. Rather than a true sequel, the game is more of an expansion of the original game that is ultimately a more polished product.

Phew. That’s my little rant over with now. So then, in conclusion what does PSO V2 offer to the new PSO player? Well it is a well-structured, beautiful RPG with thousands of players for you to interact with, and must be purchased. For the PSO veteran, V2 offers little on top of what you already have, but you will buy it, you have no choice, you fell in love with the original and you must have more. It’s just a shame that the hackers have ruined it for you, if Sega can eliminate them, add 15% onto these scores, yes, they really take that much from the game! Oh well, I must go. I have to go and destroy some Delsabers with my Maracas...
