Phantasy Star for Xbox is it worthless now?

[Buyatari]

I sold Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II at the store and it came back.

Can you play this game online anymore? Does it have any value at all?

Why would you sell PSO 1 and 2? It's an amazing game. Since it's also the original XBOX you're talking about then you could also add that it's possibly the best game on the system depending on your preference.

I wouldn't know if it still has online, but you can still play multiplayer on the same console. If only they rerelease PSO 1 and 2 for the PSP. No fees and no splitscreen when playing multiplayer(I think the GC version had splitscreen when playing multiplayer on the same console.) I doubt this will ever happen though.

The box says "XBOX live Required to Play" is that not true?

Buyatari owns several game stores.

The servers for the xbox version were shutdown last year some time. If i recall correctly, the singleplayer was just a training mode for the online mode. Worthless, not exactly; but the value is a lot less then it would be otherwise. I doubt there's much of a market for it.

Well just one store these days.

No wonder it got returned.

You mean you can't play single player or multiplayer on the XBOX version without playing online?

I've never owned the game for XBOX as I owned the GC version. I just assumed it'd be the same.

You can play the entire game offline single player, but some of the bosses are pretty much impossible by yourself unless you're willing to do a LOT of grinding to try and get your character to a high enough level.

Not sure about offline multiplayer though, I've never tried that out.

The drugs you use must be laced with some pretty potent stuff. PSO isn't even in the top 25 best Xbox games, let alone the top 5. And that includes if you are an rpg fan.

Back to the topic, as a demo disc collector of many systems, I can tell you that many beta disc that no longer operate(on the PS2 or Xbox for instance) can still sell for $5-20 a piece. So I wouldn't label PSO worthless just yet.

I found a copy for $3 so I bought it to try out on my Xbox, despite having the GC version already. It wouldn't run since I didn't have a Live Account. Just a message saying it was required. Tried to do a single player but, no dice. Maybe I missed something but, I'd say it's worthless. Welcome to the future of gaming.

A Live account is required to even play at all, however, you can play offline. You just need to have Xbox Live, you don't need to connect to it.
