peak.
i had a team of high lvl ppl level me up from lvl 1 to 15 in like an hour, took me to the final boss and i saw them demolish it in like 1 and a half minutes, then before leaving they invited me to their guild.

Peak aesthetics i tell you, it's a time capsule of another era of character design.
Over twenty years later, PSO continues to be a refreshingly hands-off, mechanics-based, immediate and human "proto-MMO" experience, whose sensibilities reflected a utopian sci-fi optimism about the future of video games/humanity.
Still playing to this day, leveling up and getting new weapons. Nothing has been able to replicate this game's experience.
I usually absoluetly fucking despise online RPGs, but this... this is different. This is now one of my favourite games ever at this point, everythying is on top. The atmosphere, the gameplay, the music, story is cool too. All of that makes for an amazing experience. GOAT
Scratches an itch that no game since has been able to reach. Outstanding soundtrack and beautiful visuals hold up a simple, enjoyable and somewhat clunky gameplay loop.
Lost my wife to this game but gained many more in game by emotionally manipulating them into giving me rare weapons.
PSO is one of those games that make me miss couch gaming. A group of us used to go round to one house and play the crap out of PSO on the Gamecube. It holds up surprisingly well on PC, and is surprisingly playable with keyboard (though I need yo figure out how to use a controller)
OH HEEEEEEEEELL YEAH IF YOU WANT A JANKY MMO THAT PLAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE THE NEW ONE BOY DO I HAVE A GAME FOR YOU THIS GAME IS ACTUALLY AWESOME
A classic sci-fi action RPG. If I had to compare it to other games, I'd say it's a bit like Diablo or Monster Hunter. It's got loot with randomized stats/abilities like Diablo, but it has an over-the-shoulder perspective.
Very grindy if you're into that sort of thing. I've been playing since the original Dreamcast release, and this is a strict upgrade on that IMO. It has two expansions along with bug fixes and QoL tweaks, especially if you play on modern private servers (I play on Ephinea, but there are others that have their own tweaks and custom items/quests)

it's still the same old classic PSO but with some cool quality of life enhancements. i'm not usually an online RPG person but there's just something special about this game.
I need everyone to stop sleeping on Phantasy Star Online it is so good. More people need to see the beauty of the OG online titles. It oozes in your face with charm. It literally calls out to you the way that character creation music just hypnotizes you. God......I just can't get enough of phantasy star online
