Seasons greetings from the Phantasy Star Universe!
Dec 8, 2006
The universe of Phantasy Star has always been a unique one. Its refreshing sci-fi style breaks the swords 'n' sorcery RPG mold. Phantasy Star Online's networked approach was highly addictive and gave fans a reason to fall in love with the series all over again. But, no matter how stunning Phantasy Star Online was, gamers love single-player, story-driven RPGs. The intended solution was Phantasy Star Universe, which promised to contain both fully-realized story and online modes, to give fans ...

Thursday 5 October 2006 With Phantasy Star Universe heading for a November launch, we've had the chance to take a tour of the online action.

Three planets lead to countless adventures in Sega's long-awaited follow-up to Phantasy Star Online
Sep 8, 2006
Welcome back to our continuing coverage of Phantasy Star Universe. Lots has come to light since last week, so let's jump right in. For starters, we've finally gotten a good sense of the game's three planets, Parum, Neudaiz and Moatoob, and each has its own very unique look and feel. Parum is the first one you'll visit, and it's your typical lush, green paradise. Oddly, however, it's ruled by the Cast race, androids that helped restore the planet after past conflicts and who often harbor ...   » Read Full Phantasy Star Universe preview

Last week we delved into the revamped single-player adventure and the fast-paced new combat system, so check that if you missed out.
