Yes, we know we're<br>going to be hitting you with another action-RPG, but it's not<br>our fault that this is one of the best-looking games we <br>have ever seen. Phantasy Star Online gave us our first real-<br>time online console game and surprisingly hit a home run on<br>its first swing--you can't chalk that up to beginner's luck.<br>We don't want to give away too much about the online play<br>and profile configuration, but we're going to leave you with<br>one word: breasts." <p>erm, ok aside from the usual magazine-fluff that we could all do without, I'd be on the lookout for the EGM Number 191 - May. with any luck, EGM has scored some new screen shots, and more importantly, screens of the actual game, not just CG renders. <p>As quoted by someone on the PSDB.

Is PSU going to be online....or what?.....we could use a normal offline one again

Yuji Naka interview I found.. PSU will be out next year he says..<p>I just copied this out from the new issue of EDGE magazine(industry renowned UK publication), it was mainly an interview about Project Rub (Feel the Magix XX/XY in the US and Japan) but some of this may be relevant.<p>Edge - Online functionality looks to feature heavily in the next generation of consoles. After pioneering it with Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast, are you surprised other manufacturers have taken so long to catch up?<p>Yuji Naka - Sega has always been famous for going too far ahead too early. If we were a little bit slower, then maybe we could have won the hardware market. But that's what we've always, always been known for. So I'm not really surprised that it has taken so long. And as I've been doing online things for all these years now, I was ready to try something different. That's one reason Project Rub has been so fun for me.<br>The things about online that we... suffered [laughs], the hacking, bad users, illegal users - in the end we really spent more time just trying to keep those things out than actually developing the game, and that's why I'm sick of online. But if hardware manufacturers can figure out a system that keeps all that out for us, I'd love to make more. If that's not possible, it's hard to be enthusiastic about online gaming.<p>Edge - What are the plans for the next year and the new hardware?<p>YN - Well, Sonic DS is coming as well as another title for the DS, and there will be a PSP title also. And next year, Phantasy Star Universe will come out, so we're really busy on that at the moment - I don't think we will have time for many other new games. I can't talk much about PSU, but I have just been in Poland with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra for recording, which was a great feeling. We're very excited about it.<br>

I'm not sure how I feel about another online, real-time combat Phantasy Star, but as long as the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra is recording the music, I feel that at least that aspect of the game will not disappoint.

EGM is pulling things out of their ass again...<br>"OMG it's an MMORPG!!!!!!!!111oneoneone"<p>The interview with the 'event scene' director and this interview with Yuji Naka back up my stance even better. <br>It will be an offline RPG. Yuji Naka is sick of online, he says.

[Neo48]

Once again...the f*ckin hackers ruin everything.<p>

k, I'm new here, and i love Phantasy Star. and i'm absolutely stoked about a PSU coming out. but what the hell is this stupid teaser from EGM?<p>"...We don't want to give away too much about the online play<br>and profile configuration, but we're going to leave you with<br>one word: breasts."<p>this just pissed me off that i had to sign up to this forum and reply. WTF is this?!?!?<p>breasts....<p>breasts?<p>breasts....<p>breasts!?!?!<p>.... .... .... .... what the hell!?!?!?!? so is EGM telling us now this'll be some... MMBRPG? massive multiplayer breasts role playing game? for the freaking love of ... Alis, and all that's holy and cute like Mieu, what type of teaser is that?! do they expect *ALL* fans and consumers of video games are pre-pubescent gawking teens? geez!<p>so, i guess the latest is that we get to bounce our boobies in this game... yay... thanks EGM, can't wait now... off to jab a sharp stick in my eye now... whee...<p>[size=small][Edit by OpaOpaJr on [TIME]1110021333[/TIME]][/size]<br><p>[size=small][Edit by OpaOpaJr on [TIME]1110021354[/TIME]][/size]

[Ultema]

Huh.<p>The breasts comment doesn't do anything for me. <p>If I wanted to see them, I could just look at my own. o_O<p>>>;

[Benoit]

LOL! That cracked me up, Ultema.

You should know more on this, Benoit, since I'm not as fluent in computers as you.<p>

Oh come on people!<p>In any MMORPG, the way females wear armor shows off their figure.<p>Hell, Midievil armor showed off figures! Flak vests, Ninja outfits, Bodysuits!<p>It's not common place for a figure to be detailed with armor. <p>Even a A cup girl can seem bigger with the right armor/outfit.<p>How can breasts upset you that much? They are there regardless. EVen if they are small, they are noticeable.<p>It also doesn't mean they BOUNCE. Hunewearls don't bounce, Racaseal's don't bounce.. <p>Get over the breasts.. They are there regardless. <p>

<blockquote><i>Originally posted by Ultema</i><p>Huh.<p>The breasts comment doesn't do anything for me. <p>If I wanted to see them, I could just look at my own. o_O<p>>>; <br></blockquote><p>Well, so do I!<p>:^P<p>Really now, I dislike the real time combats, I feel like playing the old brainless Doom or something by smashing buttons like there was going to be no tomorrow (actually, this is the same sensation I have playing fighting games, which do not please me at all unless I´m furious and the only object I can hit is a joystick or a keyboard), but it can be interesting if well executed. Now, if they are going to make it online, they had better test the software really hard this time to prevent the actions of hackers, duppers, pkers, etc, which ruins the fun for everyone.<p>Oh, and make sure PSU will make any sense with the original series, thank you :^P<br>

[Dhuval]

Maybe that 'breasts' would mean 'breathtaking', isn't it?<p>And I love PSO combat system, it gives a feeling to control really my char.<br>The old menu control fits better only for 'party' RPG.

[Ultema]

... The breast comment isn't upsetting I think, it's just "WTF" enducing.<p>Like I mean...<p>"We don't want to give away too much about the online play <br>and profile configuration, but we're going to leave you with <br>one word: penis"<p>Doesn't make me go "wtf o_o" any less.<p>I just keep looking at the statement and going "whatthefu..." It's like a trainwreck. XD
