SEGA's Phantasy Star Online (PSO)
Its futuristic, and sleek.
The game that I played every hour of every day for like 2 years on the dreamcast, met a woman and had my first experience with long disance relation ships and online relationships. Met a woman, that I may marry one day.
It was phantastic.... -untill I got kicked out of my mama's house
Now sega is releasing PSO for the PC!.
Phantasy Star Online - Blue Blast.
SCREEN SHOTS:

Its unlike any other MMORPG, but still very similar concept of finding rare weapons/armor/very cute and collectable pet kits that evolve by leveling them up and they improve your stats..
The problem is.. The graphics started almost this good on the Dreamcast system and spoiled it!
They released it for Game Cube and Xbox (voice chat!!!!w000000000000000000000)
... But the graphics never improved AS much as Everquests did, I think SEGA couldn't afford to completely shock the world.
Its a phenomanal game playing experience. Quite a few children play it but there are alot of adults so everyone should find alot of friends.
The game plays a mean game. You meet in Lobbies where you show off your sleek ass costume, and Artwork (think 10 avatars with some other preset graphic and if you are good you can get the pictures to animate)
then you can chat and do emotions and make a group of up to 4 people go down to the alien planet and fight mobs in real time.
It plays better than any other RPG- the targeting is automatic when an enemy is onscreen. If you do your chain sword attack combo up to 3 times it will do more, and harder damage. The button presses have to be in a rythm to the animation. You don't always want to start off with the 3 piece combo becuase they may take more than 3 hits to knock down or kill, and then you will be waiting for a hard ass counter.
YOU actually avoid mobs who are generally slower but more powerfull. There is also a block and evade stat for characters but you controll the fighting- its not like WoW where you and the mob trade hits.
In PSO you can flawlessly cut someone the **** up with lightsabers and ancient Japanese Samurai blades and shit.
Lots of awesome guns -Modern, and futuristic.
(machineguns - Rocket launchers, etc.) are everywhere to be found.
The game is truly awesome, but I don't know if I can play 2 or 3 MMORPG's. Right now I'm playing WoW, dreaming of EQII. But I miss PSO- You can even play it offline!
Sadly, whereever this game goes.- Expect tons-o-hacked items and cheaters.
If you like MMORPG's, you should love this game to death.
If you have already played this game before there is no reason to buy it for the PC, its hardly an upgrade from the DC version. The Xbox and GC versions offer 2 episodes and muchly improved everything in episode II.
