If you don't play PSU now, what would Sega have to do to get you interested enough to check out the game? Maybe cut the monthly fee, add some specific content? What would you want to see in an online PS-based game?

A lower fee and more ways to pay would be nice. Better support for the English game than they showed for PSO would be nice. Maybe more emphasis on the Phantasy Star and less on the Universe part.

If it had stuck more with the Classic series, I want Motavia, Dezolis, Parma..not Parum, Moatoob, and whatever that other one was. lol I want the old spells, I want Combo attacks, I want the old stuff, and the real hunters guild. XD

You represent... apathy.You don't really show any emotion. You can be considered cruel and cold, but you just don't really care about anything. This is just the way you are... you're quite a challenge to get close to, and others may perceive you as boring.
Zeus was the Greek excuse for having no logical explination for lightning. Hades was for the death that baffled them. Posiedon tore apart at their shores. So Athena must have explained the people who didn't believe in the gods.

Moatoob is a pretty dumb sounding name, isn't it? Motavia or even Motabia would be so much better.

I'm currently playing through PSU. The single-player isn't as bad as I thought. Its way to easy, the story isn't mind blowing (so far), but the visuals are great (on a High-end PC), the sound is great, and the gameplay is fun, although like I said way too easy.


But if they wanted me to pay monthly? Well... I myself don't even know what could get me to do that. :)

Sega would have to go to my job for me every day so that I would have the time to install it and play it. I have the game for PC, I just have not had time to get into it.
Currently Playing: Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls (GBA)

Ah, that would be nice, wouldn't it? We'd all have more time to play if Sega did that for us. :lol:

I'd need some people I actually *know* to want to play too.

Though I'm pretty okay playing alone, too. It was nice how they made the NPCs available in Illuminus for antisocial people like myself. :)

Also, hi! Been a long time!

Hey, it's been way too long. Nice to "see" you again! :D

There's not much point to playing a multiplayer game by yourself. :yes: So you can bring along some NPCs to fight with you in Illuminus? I'm surprised it took them so many incarnations of the online games to introduce that.
