Great, but for its name? not quite
What did they get? nothing nessesarily bad, but did it live up to the hype? HECK NO! its Phantasy Star Online part 4!! slightly better graphics, little improvements here and there, a few new innovative things and infact a few missing things here and there...
Graphics...hey its a little better looking than PSO and thats not saying much. The games definetly got its own feel thats actually pretty nice, very nice vibrant colors and worlds. Cool customazation features on all the characters and cool lookin wepons and monsters.
Gameplay...This is where the term PSO 4 comes in, Its really just a few extra things added in to go along with the same tried and true but getting slightly stale. They made switching classes and added wepons and stuff but nothing really to set it apart from the others...
AS FOR ONLINE....Well guys the game kinda feels rushed, in the sense that everythings NOT there yet...which makes paying for online right now feel like a bit of a rip off (yes im paying for it) I mean its tons of fun playin with your pals and making new characters for free...but playin the same levels over and over does get tier some when their are only like 5 levels right now...Oh well ill be patient, please understand, more stuff i guess will become avaliable, we just have to wait.
Over all : PSU is a fun game, not what everyone was expecting, infact a little less, but that dosent take away from the fact its a decent mmorpg that still is being worked on (i hope) and a fun little rpg in general, storys pretty fun.
