Desperately wanted to love this one but the many ways this game is monetized creep into all aspects of play, making the various hooks and designed FoMO impossible to ignore. It's fun to play dress-up in space with your buddies, but it's hard to recommend this one to anyone but a die-hard PSO fan.
Honestly the only good MMO I've ever played mainly because it's not blatantly pay to win garbage
DO NOT TRUST DUDU
de momento me parece un buen juego para tener cosas de fondo, el gameplay esta bien, pero los mapas lineares y visualmente en general me parece un culo, si le meto serio a lo mejor cambio de opinion
i have played this on and off since one of the jp beta releases back in like 2011, incredibly good character creator and the gameplay was fun, i miss it dearly but a combination of how rushed global was and the complete shitstorm that is ngs have pretty much killed any desire to keep either version installed
I had to say goodbye. I was addicted and put in almost 200 hours and never reached max level.
Played this game for many years started on the Japanese servers and restarted when it came to the west, one of my favourites mmorpgs
Peak video game
I don't know anything about the story, combat was fun I guess?
it was a good time killer right when the pandemic hit
god I cannot do an MMO with such ass worthless writing though

greatest mmo of our time
A beautiful game that slowly turned into something much different that unfortunately was not able to keep the momentum of it's earlier years.
PSO2 is interesting
I loved it when I tried it. F2P MMORPG that fit my type of style. Also watched the anime too. Sucks that if u want to play it, you have to download the new one with it, which kinda sucks.
Sinto falta dessa banger... Jogar isso todo final de semana com meu amigo depois da escola era um dos peaks da minha juventude
It's a masterpiece.
Absolutely in love with this game. I spent many hours on its predecessor, and I hope to do the same here. It's looking like I will.
the greatest game i have ever played
Cool I like MMOs :)
2 years and still counting in, i play on the japanese version.
For a free mmo, there’s a lot of content here. I wouldn’t say it is my “go-to” MMO, that would be FFXIV. But, I like it regardless. I enjoyed going through the story mainly because of all the anime tropes that you see and it just made me laugh a lot because of them. I mean this in a good way of course. And like I said, there is a LOAD of content for the game all for free, which is fantastic in my opinion. You got limited time bosses or raids every 1 and a half or so, you can change your job at any time, and it has a very in-depth character customizer. It also has a casino where you can gamble with their digital currency and I’ll admit I spent an embarrassing amount of time in the casino because of how addicting it was.
You can’t go wrong with PSO2 classic, especially when it’s free. The game isn’t getting anymore major content updates from here on out due to New Genesis, but what’s there is great.

My favorite action game ever toward the end of Episode 6. Dearly missed.
ping me for Challenge Mode questions.
The fashion was cool but getting it was too difficult. Also the story was kind of mediocre at best.
im good....
Phantasy Star Online 2 is a F2P MMORPG set in the Phantasy Star universe, released in Japan in 2012. and released elsewhere in 2022. On PS4 to access Phantasy Star Online 2 you have to first download Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis and then download the free DLCs in the launcher. This game in the time of writing (May 2023) is no longer supported by the developers, the servers are still online, but there isn't any new content, since all staff and resources are now further developing New Genesis.
When first starting a new game you are given the option to choose the look and class of your character, all changes you are making in appearance can be later changed using a currency called Star Gems or the Free Salon Ticket. The classes can be changed anytime at no cost. After the game's introduction to the game's mechanics you have the option to do anything you want: Story missions, ARKS quest, Side quest. Leveling up isn't a problem, only later in the game it starts to become a grind.
The Story missions aren't a big of a deal, since they are mostly just a mix of voice and text-based cutscenes, but the story overall is great.
The best part of the game is combat, every class has at least two equipable weapons and each one has its own abilities. When leveling up, each level gives you a skill point which can be used to upgrade your class. The combat is fast-paced, dynamic and fluid, with many option to enhance your weapons and armors. All weapons and armor can be earned doing quest or be bought in the Player's Market which is the place where you are going to spend your hard earned Meseta (in-game currency) for items with ridiculous prices.
The Player's Market is a place where other players put their items and price at which they will be selling the item. Here is also where all fashion items can be bought, or at the Player's Market or with Limited-time Scratch Tickets bought with real money. Since in 2023. there aren't as many players as before and since there aren't new Scratch Tickets, every single fashion items, especially for female characters costs a lot, if you want to wear something you like, you have to grind every single day by doing Daily and Weekly tasks, doing those quests is the best way to earn money.
The end-game is literally just grinding for better gear and earning more Meseta in order to buy fashion items. Fashion is the true end-game, as many players say. There is also a PvP mode which no one plays, so basically it's dead.
All in all, this game offers a good amount of content, many story quests, side quests and challenges, but after completing all of them, you are left only with grinding for Meseta and better gear and buying fashion items, if there is even something left of it. The best part of this game is combat, but the endgame is mostly fashion.

good memories think this game has my most hours on steam,
It was pretty fun for a while, then the NG update happened and rendered the base game nearly unplayable. Bouncer is still the most fun MMO class I've ever played.
Really fun game, it was sad to see it get shafted by New Genesis.
simply the best MMO. it has that old sega charm.
