I'm not really a Phantasy Star fan, good thing too, as I'd be permanently miserable about the lack of love shown in my region and elsewhere for the classic RPG series. The misery continues as Nintendo have announced Phantasy Star Online 2: ...

Sega just hit a milestone with Phantasy Star Online 2 on PS4, and it's celebrating with a collaboration with Gravity Rush 2. In Japan, naturally. At first it just looks like a simple costume, but it also enables the incredibly cute bir...

After enjoying the original Phantasy Star Online for many years, both offline by way of split-screen and online, I was thrilled to hear that there would be a true sequel on a modern day console. But likewise, years have passed sin...

[From humble beginnings, David Jenkins managed to start a successful guild where nobody knew their organization was being led by children. ~Strider] Man, looking up photos for this blog post hit me with all kinds of feels and nostalgia. Abo...

The PlayStation 4 edition of Phantasy Star Online 2 will begin service on April 20, Sega says. Of course, the Sonic Boom company has no official plans to bring the new port to western shores, and it still has yet to make good on its four-ye...

It's been close to four years since Sega announced Phantasy Star Online 2 for a western release, but, despite the game being available in English throughout Asia, we're still without a localization. In an amusing turn of events, anime group...

Phantasy Star Online 2 has gotten some pretty crazy crossovers so far, but this one is probably the coolest. Attack on Titan will be invading PSO 2 in multiple ways, the most obvious of which is new outfit selections. You'll be able to dec...

Phantasy Star Online 2 is doing crazy well in Japan, and it's set to come to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietname, Indonesia, and the Philippines -- but not the US, yet, much to the ire of fans. The success kee...
