Mens PlayStation 2- og PC-eiere vil kunne gå på eventyr sammen når Sega utgir Phantasy Star Universe, mens Xbox 360-eiere må se seg selv værende "alene" i det store universet. Xbox 360-versjonen vil nemlig ikke dele servere med de andre utgavene og dette bekreftet Sega nylig overfor Eurogamer dog uten å gi en forklaring på hvorfor.
Ifølge ryktene skyldes det den ekstrem lukkede og sentralt styrte Xbox Live-servicen som Microsoft selv kjører. Her frykter firmaet sikkerhetslekkasjer hvis både PC- og PS2-publikummet deler servere sammen.
Her er mer fakta:
Developed by SEGA Studios, Phantasy Star Universe offers long-time fans the single-player experience they have been clamoring for. The solo adventure features more than 40 hours of gameplay as well as an emotionally engaging story, stunning cut scenes, and a strong cast of characters with very distinctive personalities. The title’s hero is Ethan Waber, a 17-year old cadet who begins his epic journey by first rescuing his sister at the GUARDIANS, a colony under siege by mysterious life forms known as THE SEED.
In Online Mode, players are given the opportunity to create their own characters from a range of races, as they explore all three planets in the Gurhal system. Fans can travel with their friends as a squad of six adventurers, enter urban sprawls teeming with hundreds of other players, and build their avatars into powerful warriors.
