The Matrix Online can go to hell. THIS is Sega's megaton announcement :D :D :D
Now I can die happy. :D
Not to rain on your parade, but this doesn't appear to be a Phantasy Star sequel. At best, it's like Shining Tears, the new action-RPG spinoff of the Shining series. At worst, it'll be another MMO shit-fest.

Hmmm, you could be right. I'd better temper my expectations.
They describe it as an action RPG, though, so I think the MMORPG description is out of the question.

Hmm, I'm trying to remember what the Japanese date was for Phantasy Star II remake...I've been wanting to play that epic game ever since I read insertcredit's orgasmic review of it. Heard it was one of the first RPG's with truly Lunar-caliber character development.

Great news. I am actually hoping for a true sequel to PSO instead of those updates, but I'm guessing it will be some sort of offline RPG. Still, looking forward to it.

I'm personally hoping it will be a true sequel as well. But if Phantasy Star Universe is a MMORPG then wouldn't Sega have called it PSO4? Anyway is this the megaton news or what?

Sega acquiring Matrix Online has been reported as the megaton news. If it's anything like Enter the Matrix, I'll look forward to passing it up.
I'm definitely excited for another Phantasy Star, especially if it's a traditional RPG like the MasterSystem/Genesis days. If Microsoft was smart, they'd pay Sega lots of money to have it XBox exclusive. That system is dying for a good Japanese-flavored RPG.
