Phantasy Star Online Episode 3!!!, ...not what you think Options

[Crushinator]

SEGA revealed PSO Episode 3 today....but its the card game that they've been working on instead of a proper PSO!!! WTD is up with the naming...this is just like when Square decided that their online Final Fantasy would just fall into the series as FF11...oh well...here's the lowdown from SEGA.

"Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution" (Nintendo GameCube): "Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution" expands the "Phantasy Star Online" (PSO) universe, offering a new style of strategic combat. Combining the excitement of card collection and deck settings with team-based battle tactics, PSO Episode III allows users to chat in the lobby about status upgrades and tactics, and then journey to the planet surface to engage in strategic combat using a turn-based Card system. The game continues the story arc of the previous PSO games, as players once again become Hunters and explore the mysteries of the planet Ragol. Featuring both online and offline play, as well as multiplayer modes, PSO Episode III adds new content and players to the ever-growing PSO community. "

I guess it will be fun, the graphics are definetely better than PSO Ep 1+2, but damn I wish it was a real Ep3! Well...at least we get to control boomas, right?

Im Picturing a Grandia 2 type battle turned based system

That has to be the best turn based battle system EVER.

It might be cool change, I as well am a Pso Junkie and would probably try to pick this up.

What would be neat is if you could transfer your chars back an forth from EpI&II to EpIII. Just to change the mood of the game and such.

It would be cool if they linked them as well and as for the combo system I think it would work something like Final Fantasy's X's "Beserk Mode" (Think thats what its called i forget) Where you have to hit a button at a certain time to make combos better.

But if i have to pay for it, I wouldnt pick it up
