Uneternal Planets

Phantasy Star Eternal Planets will shut down on June 8th, 2012. Eternal Planets is a browser social game set in the events after Phantasy Star Universe. Players would travel to different galaxies searching for planets. The game was free to play but was supported by cash items.

Though the game tried to keep up with the demands and requests from its users, they decided that it was difficult to continue running the game in this form.

Schedule

• 5/9/2012, they will stop selling cash items.
• 6/8/2012, the game will shut down.

Correction

For PSO2′s voice actors we have to make a correction. The meaning behind this phrase “入れ替わる” is actually “changed places” instead of  “replaced”, or in the sense, they replaced each other’s positions.

Basically a voice actor who may have done a minor role in the past Phantasy Star games could do a prominent role in PSO2. Or, a voice actor who played on the antagonist side could play the protagonist and vice versa. It doesn’t rule out new voice actors from appearing, but if you’re expecting Rie Tanaka to return, she could possibly have one line this time or something.

Phantasy Star Online 2 @ Dengeki Game Festival

PSO2 will be playable at this year’s Dengeki Game Festival which starts March 18, 2012. It looks like they’ll use an Alienware Desktop machine. I wonder why..
