Episode IV

[Phantasy Star Monthly]

The big question on my mind is "how far along is the translation on this thing?" I hope we'll be able to get some details on it when the beta does begin.

[Starman]

Complete I hope :)

The only way I'd consider the final version is if ep4 was included.

i would buy PSO BB without episode 4, simply to play a hack free game, where everyone has an equal chance in the game

[mr_shoe_uk]

I will buy it with or withough Episode 4, simply because I have thoroughly enjoyed all PSO games, and as mentioned before, hack free and better is no bad thing!

Episode 4 being released with it will be a great extra, though even without it (I still think there is a big chance it may come as part of the full game) I believe they'd bring it out a month or so later.

What with this buy thing? PSOBB is free (EPI & II anyway), you only Pay for your monthly fees, which is the way that all Online RPGs should be.

[mr_shoe_uk]

So it will definitely be free? Sega's sites (EU and US) seem to imply that, by saying PC download, but they're very vague. Great news if it really will be monthly fee only!

I would of thought honestly that Ep IV would be included with the English release given we have had to wait for over a year for our release. But that doesn't mean to say it will be the case later with any future releases or addons.

So? We've had to wait over a year for lots of releases. Saying we should get something they've been charging full retail price for in Japan for free is somewhat ludicrous - Especially since the fact that the Japanese themselves did not get EpIV until February this year, a good 9 months after the start of Open Beta.

We have not had to wait 'over a year', for one thing, the Japanese version hasn't even been OUT that long, and EpIV has only been out for a couple of months.

Wait, im compltly dizzy now lol. Strike me as a newb but, what in heck is Episode 4? Is that another term for Blue Burst? Or is it just that "new area"
they put in?

[Derity]

Me too also confuzzled :o

[mr_shoe_uk]

It is a new episode that was added in to Blue Burst, released in Japan as an add-on to the existing Blue Burst episodes 1 and 2 this february.
I hope it will be with the full game (maybe even with the beta?!), and Sega-Europe seem to imply it may be, but we'll have to wait and see.

PSO BB contains EPI&II. And that's all.
Episode IV is an "add-on", which costs about $30. I guess it will be released in the USA and Europe later...

[Haru]

the europe site seems to reveal that BB will include ep IV.

If the US version of BB doesn't include ep IV, I will still play it...I can't wait for a hack-free PSO!

[Fry]

The US version will include Episode IV... but later. The version we'll get the 10th won't include Ep.IV :'(.
