Genuinely struggle to put into words how stellar this game is. The sights, the sounds, the world; it's all immaculate. Maybe the most well realized game I have ever played. Everything, and I mean everything; the art, environments, music, sound effects, MENUS, presentation, all meld perfectly into one of the most soulful and imagined experiences I've ever played. At times thrilling, at times haunting, at times depressing, at times hopeful. Nothing will ever even come close to matching this.

A huge game for the Dreamcast in online features and a cool game! Put a bunch of hours in playing online and in offline, can work with both. Game on single player gives the game a atmospheric and moody feel with the big levels and music. Fun with others for sure but game left a nice impact on me in terms of mood and design. Combat takes a bit getting used to but works very well and has a more tactical feel for real time combat with RPG elements. Story is in bits throughout the game and quests and has a mystery feel to all of it along with extra scenes. A nice memory and love playing the private servers to this day. :D

This game kicks a ton of ass and I'm still bummed out that PSO2 and PSO2: New Genesis do not carry the same vibe forward. PSO is a near perfect multiplayer action RPG with loot that drops at the perfect rate to not be overwhelming. I only ever played the Dreamcast release and so I've never seen any of the later episodes that were added.
