Phantasy Star Online has to be one of my favorite video games. After I had grown up with
Phantasy Star II and
III, PSO was my first serious venture into online gaming. I played every single version of the series -- Dreamcast
Ver. 1 and
Ver. 2, GameCube
Episode I & II and
Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution,
Blue Burst on the PC. I just love the campy style, the visuals, and of course the wonderful soundtrack. It's a true testament to the qualities of the game that it managed to keep me entertained for almost a whole decade.

There are a lot of great character designs, but I guess if I had to pick one that represents
Phantasy Star Online, it would be Red Ring Rico. So here's my tribute to a great game.
