PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2!!!

Aside from Diablo 3, Phantasy Star Online 2 is one game I'm most anticipated to see released (hopefully) in English and am willing to buy on the first day.  Sure, there's also other incredible RPGs coming out such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma (hey, it looks like an RPG! I know it's not one), Kingdom of Alamur: Reckoning, Torchlight 2, Mass Effect 3, and Guild Wars 2, but I'm willing to wait for all of those (well, maybe except for Guild Wars 2).  Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 is still considered one of the greatest games I have played and still holds the most hours played in a game for me.  I did (and still do) enjoy all the spin-offs such as Phantasy Star Universe, Ambition of Illuminus, Phantasy Star Portable 1 and 2, and Phantasy Star Zero; however, none got me as excited as hearing about Phantasy Star Online 2.  There was something about PSO that just made it so magical, so addictive, and completely satisfying while playing it.  It seems that PSO2 will be bringing that back to us gamers.  It won't exactly be the same (which isn't what most of us are looking for), but it will still have the same charm and element that made it so great in the first place.  Some of the changes I see so far is an extensive character customization, the ability to jump, customized combos, a more action orientated combat system, a Third-Person Shooter style perspective and control for guns and rangers (much better system of aiming than the First-Person View used in the Universe series onwards), large parties, and special events that happen in the middle of a dungeon run.  I'm super excited about this!!!
