Most Enjoyable Level

Out of all the levels in the various versions of Phantasy Star Online, which did you enjoy playing on the most, and why did you like that particular stage?

For me, it's the early, forested areas. I like the atmosphere of that portion the most. As you progress through the game, the others seem to get darker and more closed in, compare to the relative openness of this area. I missed seeing the sky, especially down in the wrecked ship. It's not the best place for gaining levels or items, but I enjoyed it more.

I liked the cavern level. It had some good variety in the enemies sometimes. Coming across one of those darkened rooms was always something I dreaded, but I also enjoyed the chance to lay down lots of fire and wipe out the monsters before I saw them.

There were also those combining guys that returned from Phantasy Star IV. Pan-arms, or something like that? I don't remember the name off hand. I thought those were a neat reference.

I had forgotten about those dark room. Ugh, I hated those. It's too bad they didn't throw in some more combiner enemies. That was a great feature in PSIV too, but underused.

I liked the Forest 2 section in PSO the best. I love the rain, and that's the only place it has it. In PSU I liked Moatoob, because it looks like the beach.

Now that I have played it to some extent...

I have to agree about the forest. At first it's kinda pretty, and I like how it goes from sunny and cheery to dark and rainy in the transition from Forest 1 to 2.

i think the forest is the only decent looking place in this whole game, every other place just feels gloomy
