I mean that is fantastic. I hope it ends up on all platforms. My only concern is that, by being a timed-exclusive xbox one launch, it will hurt the launching of Phantasy Star Online 2 withholding it’s PC launch, which is where I envision (maybe incorrectly) that the majority of the playerbase for Phantasy Star Online 2 is. And they’re doing so with no advantages (console sales) which timed-exclusive launches are used for.It’s possible, but my experience with FFXIV tells me that PC players constitute the large bulk of the western playerbase, also due to this PS4 userbase being considerably larger than the Xbox userbase this gen, I think that big majority is going to be split even more in favor of PC for Phantasy Star Online 2 (in regards to Xbox One/PC split).
I agree, and that’s why I am concerned the health of Phantasy Star Online 2 at launch is going to be very bad, because it’s a Xbox One exclusive. Till we receive a PC release it might be a number of months after Xbox release. The PC launch can revitalize Phantasy Star Online 2 to keep it alive, presuming the Xbox release is as lifeless as I imagine it being. Maybe I’m being overly pessimistic and don’t know Xbox userbase enough, however I really don’t watch Phantasy Star Online 2 having multiple thousand users months on US Xbox One gamers only.
There is no reason not to go play with […]
