Fanfic at the PS-Pages
The Phantasy Star Pages have been updated, particularly in the fan fiction area, where more of Rune Lai's Restoration has been added, as well as the new PS Four Point Nine Recurring. I haven't read them yet myself, but both look to be very good reads. Have fun!

Yes, More GC PSOv2 News
You may or may not be tired of hearing about it, but the plain fact is that PSOv2 for the Gamecube is the most ground-breaking PS news out there right now. Nintendo recently held their Spaceworld 2001 show and some GC PSOv2 screenshots were featured. Have a look at them at ign cube, and pay special attention to the very cool 4-player split screen mode. =)

New PSO Classes in 2002
Sorry about the lack of news lately, folks... things are getting seriously busy in my little world now that school's about to start again. But enough about me...

The Gaming Intelligence Agency has given Gamecube owners something to look forward to! According to the GIA, Sonic Team will reveal TWO NEW CHARACTER CLASSES at Nintendo's Space World show.

Further, PSO Zone reports that the two new classes will be a "FOmarl, a male human force and a HUcaseal, a female android hunter." What will this mean for DC players?

Earlier PS music in PSO!
Special thanks to BlueFire44 for this discovery:

In both battle themes there ios a small part that is actually a remix of on of the PS1 dungeon themes.

The temple theme has a tiny bit of PS music, but ALMOST ALL of the ship theme is remixed PS music. I found the following in the ship theme.

PS1-One of the 3 dungeon themes
PS2- Two dungeon themes; The one used in Uzo Island and Crevice & another one thats in lots of places, on of them being Shure ( i think)
