'''Phantasy Star Online'' ('''PSO''') is an [[MMOG]] originally released for the [[Sega Dreamcast]] in [[2000]]. A bugfix/upgrade edition was released the following year, entitled '''Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2'''. This version was also later ported to [[Windows NT]], but the Windows version was only released in Asia. [[Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II]] was later released for [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[Xbox]]. [[Phantasy Star Online Episode III]] was later released for [[Nintendo GameCube]] with a changed gameplay formula, in the form of a card game. In turn, the [[Xbox]]'s [[Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II]] was ported to Windows with the added Episode IV, NPCs, quests, team system and server-side saving system, as '''[[Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst]]'''.

The Phantasy Star Online titles are a sub-series of [[Sega]]'s [[:Category:Phantasy Star|Phantasy Star]] of games that began in [[1987]]. The PSO games themselves are simple [[RPG]]s where the player slays monsters, levels up, buys new equipment, etc. The online Phantasy Stars differ from the previous games in the series by offering a real-time approach to combat rather than a turn-based one, and seamlessly integrating this with the exploration/plot development aspects of the game.
