I got so into this game that I bought one of those goofy-ass keyboard controllers that's just a normal GameCube controller cut in half with a full QWERTY keyboard inserted into the center of it. It ruled. Also this game was dope.
this is not a review but a (probably dumb) question
do I actually need online to play this? if the servers are no longer running does it make the game unplayable? I ask because I am interested on trying out the series but that factor kinda makes me doubt if I want to buy this

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II is more than just a game; it's a hidden historical document revealing the untold heroism of Rivers Cuomo, the frontman of Weezer. In a secret mission during World War II, Cuomo, along with his bandmates Weezer, Smartypants, and Sorry!, were enlisted to cull local wildlife, but their funds were tragically squandered on random purchases. Unbeknownst to the public, Cuomo, having honed his combat skills in the virtual realm, single-handedly ended World War II by defeating Hitler. However, a conspiracy involving farm animals distorted the truth, blaming Hitler's demise on suicide. This revelation adds a fascinating layer to Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, making it a 9/10 for its inadvertent historical significance and blending of gaming and secret war hero narratives.
Fun with friends
This game is my favorite of all time. I have such good memories playing with my friends, breaking a box and asking my friends "what's a tri-grinder", the first time running into a hildebear, and the first game I played with truly epic bosses. The music and the atmosphere are great, the animals are so interesting, and it's really cool running into one of the rare enemy variants and getting a rare drop. This is a game best enjoyed with friends and I was lucky enough to have great friends as a kid to play it with!
the difference between how the game feels playing online and offline is really cool to me. with a good group of friends it can honestly be intense and super fun coordinating with each other to take out enemies, whereas the single player is a much more relaxing and slow paced grind and i think that's really cool. probably the first online rpg type game i've ever been able to enjoy
