Oh shi-

So I’m watching Sega’s TGS live stream which currently is just playing trailers for their upcoming games while no press conference is going on. I was just happily playing it in the background as I catch up on some work while minding my own business.

Suddenly I head something that fills me with nostalgia and fond memories. Pioneer 2, Spread Needles, Rappys and beautiful Caves 3 come flooding back; It’s the main (vocal) theme of the original Phantasy Star Online! What the?

I quickly Alt-Tab to the stream and what do I see? Phantasy Star Online, the original, what is this? Then it shows PSOv2 and proceeds to go though each game in order of release right up to the very newest announced game, Phantasy Star Portable 2: Infinity. I’m excited about the game so I continued watching but that wasn’t all. Right at the end… My mind was blown.

Does PSP2 still have those vocaloid / fate/stay/night passwords for outfits/weapons.

I'm in the CBT actually, and from what I can tell they're going pretty far overboard with the cash shop... The beta has everything set really cheap so I don't know what the actual prices will be, but you have to pay to have even 2 characters.

Won't keep me from playing, but I hope they reconsider or at least make some way to earn it in-game. They are nice enough to let a single character learn every class though, they level up separately but even if you can't pick just one you won't entirely NEED to pay. Better make that character the exact appearance you like though, changing it isn't free either.
