Ambition of the Illuminus, the upcoming expansion for Phantasy Star Universe, will be available for download via Xbox Live November 20th for $20. However, if you don't have an Xbox and want to play it for PS2 or PC, the retail version will set you back $39.95. Seems unfair somehow, doesn't it? All this just to go chat with Japanese players disguised as cat people speaking unintelligible English.
I am a hardcore Phantasy Star fan from its Genesis days, so anything with Phantasy Star in the title has garnered my interest since. I was actually disgusted when I tried to play this game. Not only was the interface initially confusing and odd, but the people playing the game when I logged in made annoying WoW players look like the most pleasant people you've ever met. Maybe I just had a bad experience, but frankly I think this MMO series is mostly unplayed for a reason.

...um...whoopie?
But, I can't help but think that screen shot looks like something I'd see from Final Fantasy X before sin destroy's stuff with his hugeness.
saw it being played last night actually by someone else!
:[
...then again, I don't do very well with MMOs.
- Including bringing back maps from PSO :D Fuck yeah!
- Slicers & Mags
- Protransers no longer horribly crap
And by taking a shit on your face I mean giving better support and exclusive items for the 360 version.
I've though about it, and may just join the bandwagon.
bluemeep is right, PSO is a far greater game, despite having significantly less features.
I really wanted to love this game; it seemed like a no-brainer before it was released. But playing the game is an exercise in trying to find some fun, only to end up finding nothing.
