well i think pikko is more or less right.

If you compare PSO to PSU there is nothing in PSO that is really better.

except the grafics and some minor changes its still more or less the same game so if your computer can handle PSU i don't see why someone would not prefer it over PSO.

I played PSO on Dreamcast already so i know where i stay ...

I pretty much know that MANY fans were a little bit upset about the change in the fighting system which allowed even "noobs" to play the game, but you can still hit the button like in PSO and make a stronger attack.

I am currently playing Phantasy Star Portable with friends and its the same as PSU and noone of us sees anything that is bad (only that its currently japanese only V)

P.S. well for Ranger its little bit hard but why are there photon recharges to carry around if you do not need them ever ...

I still think most ppl currently favor PSO because its free on shthack or hower the name is
