What bothers me is why would you WANT to go with BB? Granted it has a bit more content than ep1/2, but compared to open world MMOs it feels just too restrictive. I'm not saying this just to bash, i love the world concept and everything. Its just that, from experiance, seeing the same eight or nine different places again and again is just...bleh.
A pity that PSU is, AGAIN, going with a completely different universe that happens to have enough simmilarities to be able to cash in on the trademark. I love the concept, I just wish the world was more open ended since, from my memories, it generally goes like this;
Enter room: it does NOT matter if the zone is outdoors its more or less a room
Kill monsters that spawn in said room to make doors open
Go to Next Room
Repeate
Occasionally find rooms with switches you have to push to open
Find end of zone boss and kill boss.
Go to next zone full of rooms that you must kill enemies to open.
I know it sounds like I'm bashing things here. I really do love the phantasy star mythos though. I love the endless debate in trying to link PSO with the older phantasy star games since there's enough material there to make such a connection, even if its unofficial and at best sketchy.
Trouble is, from my experiance on the dreamcast, the GMs just wern't there and the quest content was, at best, nonexistaint. Granted Schthack's privet server apparently has figured out ways of creating NEW quests...but since nobody's figured out how the rescources're tied together no new content can be added in(plus the fact that you can't exactly add content because of the dreamcast, although for PSOPC you could, in theory, add content).
Blue Burst is essentially the same game with better artwork and all the episodes. The original PC version of PSO was only episode 2, and was only released in Asia.
