Closer to PSO2 than its previous installment, however playing these back to back is a horrible idea. Kind of whatever characters and some call back to the Xbox one I didn't play so I can't comment beyond the gameplay.
Game is good. Long missions but it held my attention. Final Boss was also a pain in the ass, save states aside.

flying broom go brrr
Shoutouts to Kraz Muehler the worst character design of all time
Basically my first mmo when I was a kid. Had a ton of fun
When PSO died and PSU was dying, it only seemed natural that I would gravitate towards PSP2. This game is PSU but better, smarter, and more tightly designed. A lot of the obtuse garbage from PSU is gone here for a more streamlined experience, and it was a handheld MMO effectively; how cool was that? Sure the adventure mode is still kind of crap, but I'm here for that GRIND.
Much like my weird obsessive love for PSU, I desire to hunt down some private servers one day and give it another shot. It's truly staggering that this was all made possible on the Playstation Portable.

I really wish I had people to play with back in the day. It felt pretty good and the story was nice and the characters where appealing even if simple.
Fun melee combat with a wide range of weapons. Weapon leveling and a quality elemental system manage to keep loot interesting enough. There's even a heartwarming story on top of it all. The game is held back only by the lack of proper camera controls, constant backtracking, and a campaign that takes a while to get into full swing.
By virtually every measure, this isn't a very good game, but it's also basically everything I want in a handheld game: an Action RPG with a simple, deliberate combat system and individual levels that take 15-20 minutes to play. The story, character designs, and voice acting are ridiculous and amateurish, but in a way that makes it charming to me.
Phantasy Star Online 2 is a much, much better version of this game, but I can't play that on my PSP/Vita.

Amazing iteration on the og PSO formula.
Horrible main storyline with terrible characters. Amazing online play. Played it with friends

definitely a lot better than the first one in every single way, but my ADHD-ass brain worms have lost interest for the time-being, so on the shelf it goes
Childhood game. Still holds up despite the controls
