What is /v/'s opinion on Phantasy Star Online?

I wish it was a better game

I really fucking miss playing this on Dreamcast online. Yeah, sure there are servers up, but isn't possible to recreate that feeling of jubilant youth, and the innocent naivety of the early internet.
I'll still bust out Ep 1 and 2 and play some single player for a while, but this was absolutely a case of "if you weren't there, you wouldn't get it"

1 was good, 2 was good too before NGS ruined everything.

Pretty much this, nothing else to add

Ep 1/2/4 are cool and I enjoy them.
Elemental weapons are sadly (almost) entirely useless, don't know how they would have fixed that without making Forces incredibly broken though.

For me, it's Ep.3

Also what the fuck why is there only 1 boss in ep4? There should have been a machine boss on the elevator down into the crater, it writes itself. Then vol opt would at least have some company.

I hate that it kicks me back to the lobby after I complete a map.

I wish it was part of NGS like PSO2 is.

2 fell off with ep4 and was on a steep decline until ep6 sort of redeemed it with some good content for once
god, NGS really ruined everything, even my hometown JP servers were a ghost town before I gave up on it

I hope Clementine stays alive and polishes itself up. PSU is the only one I haven't played and I want to go experience it.
