Sega has announced that beta testing of the PC version of Phantasy Star Online Episodes I and II has begun in Japan. Building on previous ports of the Dreamcast original, the new version of the MMORPG is to be blessed with mouse and keyboard controls, and will boast a series of hotkeys for convenient gameplay. The game will be based on the recent Xbox port and will play host to a multitude of additional quests.
More importantly, player and character information will be stored on Sega's very own servers in order to prevent cheating - a problem that is rife in the world of online RPGs.
So far there is no word of a Japanese release date, though given PSO's commencement of beta testing, sometime in 2004 is likely. Sega has yet to confirm a western release..
