Description

Set in the future and utilizing elements of the legendary "Phantasy Star" series, "Phantasy Star Online" begins with a scout crew descending from space to investigate an explosion on the planet Ragol. By assuming the role of a fully customizable character - including profession, race and appearance - players must unite in packs of four to solve the mystery of what triggered the explosion and what happened to the previous crew who had already arrived on the planet. This game can be played offline, online or both, with computer generated mission companions if necessary. "Phantasy Star Online" completely eliminates language barriers by using a universal translation system. This makes it possible for gamers from all over the world to play together seamlessly. Players choose from hundreds of pre-set phrases and sentences, which are then instantly translated into Japanese, English, Spanish, French, or German. Players can also communicate through the use of "Hot Keys," which are commonly used phrases or words pre-set on either the keyboard or controller.
