Phantasy Star Online 2000

About this game

A 2000 online role playing game for the Dreamcast, in which you are sent to explore the uncharted planet Ragol. It can be played offline or online, where up to four players team up over the Internet to finish quests, collect items and fight enemies in real time. Your character comes from a handful of races and classes, which set its abilities and statistics, some better at magic and others at ranged or melee weapons. Online, players meet in a lobby to chat and form teams. Talking across languages was built in. Preset phrases are translated automatically between languages and custom emoticons are supported, so teammates can talk even when they speak differently. A character built for magic, range or melee, fighting beside others in real time, still makes it a team game today.
