Phantasy Star Online in 2000?

Out of GameWeek, a rep from SOA has stated that it is possible that the Sonic Team’s Phantasy Star Online could be ready for a Christmas 2000 worldwide launch.

Yuji Naka has said it’s possible, and the SOA rep continued to say that while a Christmas 2000 date is possible, it’s still more likely to hit stores early in 2001. Still, this is a potentially major development, for if PSO were released during the Holidays, paired with what should be a great lineup for the Dreamcast at the same time, it just might be enough to take consumer hype away from the PS2.
