While the core game is the same across both platforms, the online element is platform specific (that is to say, GameCube users could only play with other GameCube users; Xbox users can only play with Xbox users). This was not Sega's original intention - towards the back-end of 2001 the company envisioned an online system that would accommodate both consoles, as well as the PC and [[PlayStation 2]]{{fileref|NextGeneration US 81.pdf|page=12}}, but an agreement presumably could not be reached by the platform holders.

'''''Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus''''' was also released for the GameCube, which fixes an exploit that was discovered, allowing the console to run retail games and homebrew software by changing the DNS of the game, connecting it to a local server instead of the official servers. Other fixes included removing several item duplicating exploits and the inclusion of the online only quests to offline gameplay. This version was only released for the GameCube in Japan and North America.

Sega has closed its servers, making the games unplayable by official means. The process began with the Japanese GameCube version (2004-03-26), Western GameCube (and ''Plus'') (2007-04-01), Japanese Xbox version (2008-01-31) and finally the Western Xbox version (2008-04-22). An "offline" mode is supported by the game, but lacks many of the features of its "online" counterpart.

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II (ファンタシースターオンライン エピソード1&2) is a Nintendo GameCube and Xbox game developed by Sonic Team. It is an ehanced port of the Sega Dreamcast game Phantasy Star Online.

Gameplay

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II contains what is now known as the first two "episodes" of Phantasy Star Online. The first episode consists of the content found in the Dreamcast version of Phantasy Star Online (and Phantasy Star Online Ver. 2), while the second is brand new to the GameCube and Xbox.

While the core game is the same across both platforms, the online element is platform specific (that is to say, GameCube users could only play with other GameCube users; Xbox users can only play with Xbox users). This was not Sega's original intention - towards the back-end of 2001 the company envisioned an online system that would accommodate both consoles, as well as the PC and PlayStation 2[1], but an agreement presumably could not be reached by the platform holders.

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus was also released for the GameCube, which fixes an exploit that was discovered, allowing the console to run retail games and homebrew software by changing the DNS of the game, connecting it to a local server instead of the official servers. Other fixes included removing several item duplicating exploits and the inclusion of the online only quests to offline gameplay. This version was only released for the GameCube in Japan and North America.

Sega has closed its servers, making the games unplayable by official means. The process began with the Japanese GameCube version (2004-03-26), Western GameCube (and Plus) (2007-04-01), Japanese Xbox version (2008-01-31) and finally the Western Xbox version (2008-04-22). An "offline" mode is supported by the game, but lacks many of the features of its "online" counterpart.
