We have been talking about a lot of PSO-related news recently from the PC version of Phantasy Star Online 2 and the upcoming gacha game that is related to the original game, Idola Phantasy Star Saga. While a lot of people have been enjoying PSO2, there are others who does not have the luxury of time to play an roleplaying game with all the work they are having. So why not experience it with a gacha game that will only consume parts of your time? Yep, diving in to Idola is a great way to see what it looks like even if it diverges a little bit.
Idola Phantasy Star Saga is a mobile RPG that we have covered before in the website, it features a unique combat system with the law and chaos alignments and how they interact, concocting special strategies and team compositions as you fight enemies and a story that might be cliche for some, shows some promise if they executed it well. Who said cliches are bad anyway? All it needs is a proper execution to bring the tropes into something fantastic. Here's our article back then, to refresh your mind regarding the game.
With all that said, the wait is over for those who are interested in the game. The game is slated for a September 17th release according to the Apple App Store. For now, you can "pre-order" which possibly means to pre-register in order to be up-to-date with the latest news regarding the game. People in the Philippines are one of the lucky ones who got access in the closed beta test that we have reported back then, but with the official release coming sooner, expect more people jumping in to see the game.
Within the gacha community, it's been talked about how the game works, some laud it for their amazing soundtrack and the graphics that it offers which others note that it is reminiscent of FGO, while others are a bit scared to dive in due to the gacha rates and a PVP system that is feared to be infested with whales but it is still up in the air how the community will see it when it releases. So, just take the feedback and still have an open mind when you are decided to give it a try.
With another way to experience Phantasy Star Online, those who wish to know more about the game have another avenue to play it. While it might be best to play the PC version than the gacha equivalent, Idola will still offer an insight to those who are curious and at the same time might be a great time sink for those who can't play PSO2 or just have a strong mobile phone to play a game but a weak PC rig. In the end of the day, it's your choice which game to play the important thing is to have fun while you're at it. So will you play Idola Phantasy Star Saga soon? Tell us in the comments below!
