Well. Never thought of being here, but I manage to try out PSO for the very first time.
Greeting, everyone. The name is, Luxer. Recently new to the Phantasy Star franchise. I have never paid much attention to the series till this year with the whole PSO2 craze on the Nintendo Switch, and how we haven't had the game localized since 2012. There were so much discussion about PSO, that I decided to look in and see what's all the fuss and hype was about. I have watched a few videos of what the games are and how they look. It's an RPG and I like RPGs so I got a little more interested. The fact that it's online kept me even more interested and how the community is still going strong after years of PSO1's release, got my eyes on the franchise so much, that I gave in and decided to try it out and see if I like it or if it's not my cup of tea.
Oh boy, trying to find ways of play PSO was a chore. First was the Dreamcast version. And then the GameCube version, both requires broadband internet connections, which I don't even own. I have been trying to find any work arounds to connect to Wi-Fi, but there were none. I didn't know what else to do I was about to give up while I was still searching for not outdated tutorials. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon a recent post about getting the game on PC and it lead me to Blue Burst. And that's when I joined here and started playing the game.
So, my thoughts on the game. It's really great! I like adventuring with others who I have not have met ever before in my life, and then quickly become friends with them. The team were super nice and aid me through quests that I really shouldn't be dealing with. Level progression is pretty great. I got up to 15 really quickly, even though I had most help from other players, but it was still cool. Still quite amazed that this game was made by Sonic Team. I thought they only make Sonic games. Haha. But anyway, it's a great first experience. I am happy to have played it, and I will come back and play more. I know MMOs have a ton of replay value. The only thing I am not a fan of are the Keyboard controls; looking at the controls on keyboard hurts my brain... I tried to connect my Xbox One controller in and the game didn't pick up the controller. I am gonna try to find a fix for that.
Again, hello everyone! Glad to be here!
