Absolutely not. MMOs suck.

(Yes, I know there's a single-player mode, but I haven't heard a thing about it. If that mode is deemed acceptable, I'll probably buy it used. PSO, which I had for the Dreamcast and played a bit online, wasn't a very enjoyable experience for me - not to mention the fact that they butchered the PS series in the process...)

I'm not a fan myself. But I did enjoy PSO for what it was.

I liked PSO overall, especially when compared to FFXI in terms of feel and respect for what came before. It's not the same game (online kills that) but it's still a fun experience.

As for the single-player mode, still haven't given it a whirl yet. Still trying to find a character look I like. All the male ones are cheezy (not to mention that there are tons of dark clothes wearing anime dudes) so I'm going with the female ones.

If you ever get a chance, let me know what it's like. I don't mean to be too harsh on PSO, actually, because I, too, did "enjoy PSO for what it was" (just not as enjoyable as the previous games).

That's why I'm still looking at PSU, continually wondering if the single-player is for me. I do like the whole Phantasy Star thing...
