[quote name='MrBigFeathas']I have been reading and watching quite a bit about this game and it looks like it may be a good PSO replacement. [/QUOTE]
I've read that is a common comparison, even that Monster Hunter was inspired by PSO. Monster Hunter is a methodical game relying on the player's approach and strategy to the monsters where as you know, Phantasy Star is more hack and slash grinding dungeon crawler.
It's a game that a purchase or a rent may be required in order for you to see if you'll be pleased with the game, the demo is not a good representation of the game. Tri for the old Wii was my first entry to the series and at one point I felt that I couldn't get into the series. I ended up putting more than a hundred hours into it. I feel that with off screen play you'll be able to put many hours into it thanks to that quick handheld session feeling.
[quote name='frostybroc'] I'm contemplating on picking this up. Also you maybe we should designate a "room" for CAG?[/QUOTE]
World C Lobby 3? I usually join games from the search bar but if I ever see a room named CAG in that lobby I'd stop on in. I've added you to my friend list.
