Honestly it holds up as a fantastic MMO. Due to Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta this and the anime / game tieins it has been tremendous in Japan, and still holds this up much following release.That's why I've always enjoyed the first and played it on a free server before a couple years back. There is a surprising amount of mechanical skill involved. I don't understand anything regarding PSO2, though, and it may be totally different for all I know.Played equally, played original for countless hours. It is certainly quicker in PSO2, but I really do feel it feels like a direct update to PSO (which sounds like it should be obvious, I know.) It does similar things with repetitive mapsmore weapons enemies ect. And combat has verticality for it. I personally really enjoy it and would recommend giving it a try.

In case it appears generic, it is simply because so many other series have reproduced it by this stage. There is elements of heaps of series in the marketplace, and PSO/PSO2 did it. A lot of western players don't recognize it because they got the other matches, but not PSO. It may appear shallow at first, but it goes surprisingly deep and wide once you get into it. That is what you would want any MMO to perform rather than dump you straight into it.No other MMO will skill-based action combat better. Closest thing is Monster Hunter, which doesn't really get systems MMOs thrive on. If you like to dodge skillfully, watch enemy informs, learn boss fights, get gear, update it, and GRIND till your eyeballs bleed, then it's well worth a try. Furthermore, if you are a fan of Warframe, PSO2 will style better, if you are not fond of this gear grind.

I'll put it this way: I am not a huge MMO gamer, however, the idea has always appealed to me personally. After trying probably dozens of MMOs from the most mainstream into the most market, PSO2 is the only one which stuck with me. And I love it enough that even after playing on the JP server for 2+ years, I am now taking a break since I anticipate starting over on the NA server. It only feels really good to playwith. The F2P mechanisms are well balanced so I never felt pressured to spend money, but I did because I wanted to encourage Phantasy Star Online 2.

Hopefully this means the chances of a PS4 and maybe switch releases sometime down the internet are appearing great. There's PC ~ PS4/Vita cross play (vita is limited to"Sony" cubes, PS4 can connect to PC cubes ) and PC ~ Nintendo Switch crossover play (change is limited to their own blocks). PC players can relate to buy PSO2 Meseta whatever block that they need. Blocks are like stations that you'd see in other mmorpgs.
