The online gameplay is the focus of page 116 of
Electronic Gaming Monthly 191's preview of
Phantasy Star Universe. Even though the text speaks a little of character creation, the screen shots continue to focus on a character with the design of Ethan Waber. The dragon boss pictured is now a two headed variant. The return of online quests, with the intention to have more of them than
Phantasy Star Online, is presented near the page bottom.
Phantasy Star Online also gets a shout out in an upper corner, with the announcement of a then pending release of
Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst.
