The game was created by the Sonic Team.
Cross-platform RPG.
I played PSU onine back when it was on the PS2 and PC, the game is amazing, like the story mode, when it came out for the 360, I played the Story mode again, taking up over 20 hours of my time, I then played Extra mode for a year, then I switched to Network mode.The story unfolds in a faraway place... the Gurhal System.
The three planets that make up the Gurhal System are populated by humans and three other races born of the humans--Newmans, Beasts and CASTs.
Wars between the races raged for 500 years, but the races eventually settled into a moderately peaceful coexistence. But now, after a century of peace, certain devastation arrives ...
Seventeen-year-old Ethan Waber and his sister Lumia were attending the grand ceremony commemorating the centennial of the Gurhal System's Tripartite Treaty when suddenly a mysterious alien species known as the SEED launched a surprise attack. The Alliance Military's armada was completely unprepared for the sudden invasion and was all but destroyed as the ceremony's attendees succumbed to panic. In the ensuing chaos, Lumia is left behind in the rubble.
In order to save his little sister, Ethan borrows some equipment from a Guardian named Leo, and for the first time in his life, he's flung into a dangerous battle of life and death..
Right now, SoJ decides what comes into the Phantasy Star Series and what doesn't, which lead to the downfall of the PC/PS2 Servers, the 360 one is still up, but they are speculating when it goes down already, really not boosting the morale of Edward to talk to SoJ.
Japan is literally 2 or 3 steps ahead of us, and for some reason we aren't getting the support we desire.
On the Xbox I have 3 Level 100+ accounts, spent like 9000+ hours on those accounts.
The game itself is fucking amazing guys, and it's like 20$ and the guardian license is 14$ a month or so.
Here are some pics.

Not very much info on it, but once this gets released in Japan, then PSU is dead for sure, but the game is getting old anyway.... if there was more support from SoJ then we would be getting somewhere.
Discuss, there has to be some PSU fans on here.
