This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
TendoBox has a translation of a Famitsu interview with Yuji Naka and Toshiro Nagoshi of Sega. They love Gamecube, although things aren’t looking too good on the PSO front, 4 player split screen and no apparent online support mean it may need to be renamed Phantasy Star Offline :(
