Expansion History
Phantasy Star Online was originally released for Sega Dreamcast. Following the success of the game, Sega began to release expansions. Each expansion included the content from the previous iterations, downloadable content added to previous versions after their release, and new content created for that expansion. The original version is referred to as Episode I in the expansions. Phantasy Star Online ver. 2, or Episode II, was the first expansion and later ported as Episode I & II and Episode I & II Plus, with more content added in each port. The final expansion is Blue Burst, or Episode IV.
Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution was a spin off game with a different format, rather than a expansion based on previous Episodes.
