Back to: Phantasy Star Online.

Platform Comparison (Ver. 2 and PC)

The following comparison is between the game's PC release and game's Ver. 2 from which it was ported.

PC Version

The PC version uses a game launcher. Many ingame options such as going to the official website or launching the game in Offline or Online mode (as opposed to being an option chosen after selecting a character) were moved here. In addition the launcher is used to receive patch updates, a feature which the Dreamcast version and future console ports would lack.
