i found this in my friends house, going through his old gamecube games. this game is awasome! the battle-system is user-friendly, the create a character function gets you more in-touch with the game, and this is offline i'm talking about! the online function (haven't used it, but read about it online) seems okay, but it costs too much. also, if you work as a team of sixteen people online, you can get seperated much more easily than earlier (though it's easier to find your group.) over all, i give it a 5, beacause it is such a good game

You can choose from three different classes: Hunter, Ranger, and Force. Also, there are a dozen(?) section IDs that will affect what items you may find. There are many different modes to play in. I can't remember off the top of my head at the moment. Anyway, depending on the race you choose, you will get different attributes.
- Male: Higher ATP (Attack Power)
- Female: Higher Evasion (Blocking)
- Human
Regen: none
Stats: allround
Limits: can't use Traps
- Newman (my favorite)
Regen: TP (Technique Power)
Stats: higher MST (Mental Strength) and Evasion potential
Limits: can't use Traps
- Hucast
Regen: HP (Hit/Health Points)
Stats: higher ATP and ATC (Attack Accuracy) potential
Limits: can't use Techniques
That's a basic idea of what the races are. There is also a large variety of items, including weapons. My personal favorite weapon is the dagger class. The best part about this game: You can play Offline! So you don't need an adaptor. And Techniques are basically spells. Don't forget to feed your MAG! With each transformation it goes through, it will learn a skill called a Photon Blast. There are Blasts that heal you and Blasts that damage monsters, etc. You can feed your MAG basic healing items, such as an Antidote or Monomate.
I really recommend you get the guide. I'd have never been able to beat it without the official guide! I hope I helped.

This game is. . . well to be honest, expansive. There are about, oh, 12 basic weapons give or take. Then you have four more powerful versions of that weapon. Then you get into the legendary weapons, which there are quite a few of. There are a dozen characters each of which can be customized. The human/newman characters have 18 different outfits. The android characters each have 25 metal/paint stylings. There are, I'm going to say again, 12 different levels in Episode 1. I cannot tell you how many there are in the second, seeing as I have not yet completed it.
There is also an interesting unit which hovers above your shoulder, known as a MAG. When it first evolves it will change depending on your class. So there are only three evolutions at first, but then it becomes a whole lot more complex.

I believe every gamer should have the chance 2 play it atleast
once. It ownz. A lot. The singleplayerstory is very deep and the
mplayer is probably 1 of the best ever for a videogame
(best= James Bond: Golden eye N64) So I think that if u dont have it,
GET IT!!!

Some of you may remember the Phantasy Star games on Sega Genisis as a great series of RPG well heads up cause Phantasy Star is back but now it's completly different but don't worry change is a good thing.
Gameplay: 10/10
One of the coolest things about this game is the character creation you can pick out of 3 races Humans Newmans and Androids and from 3 character styles you can literally have you and 20 people online as the same class and with all the apperence options no one will look identical.
Hunters:Who are swordsmen/ women by nature and can use every sort of sword sabers partisans daggers katanas sicles double sided swords (Darth Maul style) even use two swords at once but can also handle guns handguns mechguns but their strength and selection is limited and some technquies (magc spells aka techs) but the strength of these spells are limited to levels 15 or 20 when the ultimate level is 30.
Rangers:These are your marksmen/ women they can use every kind of gun handguns mechguns shotguns bazookas rifles imaginable and some swords sabers and a few double sided swords but their strength and selection is limited and techs but their strength of these spells are also limited to either level 15 or 20
Forces:Forces are wizards they excel in using techs and can really tear up when they get their techs stronger they can get them all the way to the max tech level of 30 they use canes and staffs wands spellbooks and other wizard equipment but they can also use a few guns handguns and certain rifles and swords sabers and double sided swords but are very weak in this area so your much better off going off wizard style.
So between all these occupations and races there are 12 classes all of which are unique and have advantages and disadvantages over each other such as having more defence or attacking power than another class also techs max level is affected by the class you choose
Androids are robots basicly they can't use techs at all but can see traps and set them to help them take on their enemies also because they are robotical they have a big strengh advantage
Humans are well humans (yes even in this futuristic world we humans still exsist) who are hunters or rangers they can only get the techs to level 15 but have highter defence and have better evasion rates
Newmans are genetically enhanced humans who are a combo of a Force and Humter anyway they are hunters and or forces can get the techs to level 20 unless they are a force then they have the potiental to get the techs to 30 and do big damage
Now after you have choosen your class you get to create their look from scratch hair style skin color height weight face paint job (if an android) everything!
Now on to the overall gameplay it is intense online you can interact with thousands of people all over the world and go into the world of Ragol and explore,chat,and fight! The fighting is great you find yourself fighting hundreds of different enemies and you along with some buds will have the time of your life fighting off the hoardes of evil the gameplay style is action rpg like Guantlet or Baldurs Gate only a lot more intense there are 4 different difficulties Normal Hard Very Hard and Ultimate you can find thousands of items and play through both Episode 1 (formally version 1 and 2 on Dreamcast) and 2 (a completly new adventure with amped difficulty) and play dozens of online quests some are your run of the mill monster elimination quests and fetch quests but some are really cool making a movie particapating with the enemy monsters in festival along with special holiday specific that Sonic Team the creators of Phantasy Star download on the servers depending on the time of year also there are some quests online that add a lot to the story and a upcoming one that tells plot info to the upcoming sequel Phantasy Star Online Episode 3 and level to the ultmate level of 200 also you can play 3 different modes Normal,Challange, and Battle
Challenge:You play through the games levels with a preselected level and equipment and try to survive
Battle:Should you get tired of the first 2 modes you can challenge your freinds to a battle and fight them to your hearts content.
If you don't feel like or are unable to get online there is always the offline mode which have a bunch of quests and a great story also the offline mode has multiplayer options so you and your freinds can enjoy the game in the same room.
Story 10/10
The story is great and involving and has several side quests
It begins when the people of a planet called Coral discover that there planet will soon be destroyed so they send probes into space to find a hostpitable planet they found one called Ragol they then built a giant spaceship called Pioneer 1 and got a few thousand people to get the planet ready and sent it off Pioneer 2 made it to Ragol with everyone that remained on Coral aboard but just as it opens communication with Pioneer 1 a huge explsion shakes the planet and contact with Pioneer 1 is lost thats where you come in you are to investigate the planet and find out what happened.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics in this game are amazing the detail given to your character is great and every indvidual level is beatiful espcially in Episode 2 waterfalls lava pits all come together to make a great game environment.
Length: 10/10
This game is huge you'll spend hundreds of hours chating leveling and fighting it is truly one of the most expansive games out there
Replay Value: 10/10
Simply put you'll be putting in this in for years to come
Bottom Line: 10/10
With hundreds of monsters 12 character classes 4 difficulties 3 Ocupations 2 Episodes equals 1 perfect game
Phantsy Star Online Epsiode 1 And 2 is comparable to the best RPGs out there and second to none
