I could gush about this game for hours, but nothing beats playing the game for yourself. There are multiple fan servers on PC (Ephiena is my favorite) that are 100% free to play. Check it out. Despite that, an official PC re-release with an offline mode like the console versions got would be awesome to play. Please give this game the GOG treatment!

This is a huge gap in the preservation of Online gaming. I understand the expense in maintaining servers and software for a game that, frankly, was easily exploitable and hacked. I have tons of memories of journeying, from my first day on pioneer 2 to the day I conquered the ruins. some kind of official partnership with sega that allowed this game to survive into the modern day would be incredible. it helps that the gameplay loop and soundtrack are incredibly solid.

I played this much later on the Gamecube and it was still a good time. This is the one that started the whole 3D sci-fi MMO that's still being used as a base for current PSO2. It looked good for the time, had a lot of weapons and/or spells each class could use and a subtly told story with unsettling vibes.
I discovered this game back in 2023 after picking it up on the Original Xbox. If you start this game, prepare to lose at least 1000 hours of your life to it. The community behind it is very friendly and passionate. I hope and pray that this game will one day make it's grand return in an official capacity.
