Phantasy Star 2

I’m going to take a few seconds this week to rant about Phantasy Star Online 2. It might not be entirely unbiased, there may be occasional fan-girl squealing that wouldn’t be completely amiss at a Gackt concert and you should probably expect the occasional unpunctuated sentence as I type in a generally excited manner. Before today, I was mildly excited for Phantasy Star Online 2, it was going to be a game worth watching and, on top of that, the Vita release meant that I’d definitely end up playing it, even if just to check out the cross-platform play. Then I found out that it was going to be free-to-play and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was the game that had the potential of making the MMO mainstream.
