What does everyone think of this new game in the Phantasy Star series?

Only for mobile phones ? Oh no what a shame...but the trailer is great ! But I Don't really see the link with Phantasy Star...but the game seems to be good ! Wait and see !

If the game comes to the west and isn't a complete pay-to-win gacha crap, I will surely give it a go.

Recently I am playing more on smartphones than on consoles and handhelds.

Totally the contrary for me ! I don't like to play on Smartphone...and I'll never like ! It's handhelds and that's all ! No more consoles on TV

Just read the description, this doesn't sound interesting to me.
I have seen to little of the gameplay to comment on that but storywise/setting wise it is very generic fantasy that just uses the title and the name of a prominent antagonist again.

I don't think SEGA will ever be making a Phantasy Star game again that catches my attention.

I'm still salty SEGA never brought PSO2 over here to the west. If Idola makes it over, I might check it out but I'm not sure how much I would play it. I'm not a big fan of mobile game in general. Not to mention it's a gacha game which I find usually has a way of limiting gameplay and encourages in-app purchases.
