* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A plot point example: Late in the Seabed in Episode 2, there is a message terminal that claims there is a breach and the place is flooding. However, at the end you fight [[FinalBoss Olga Flow,]] and if you manage to beat him you just take a teleporter back to Pioneer 2 and the episode is over. So, did the Seabed base flood? Or was it fixed somehow?

See ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' for the original tetralogy. It was later followed by two SpiritualSuccessor series of its own, ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarUniverse'' and ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'', both of which are inspired by ''Online'' but not directly related to it.

* GratuitousGerman: Some of the names of the techniques seem to be mangled German. For instance, [[PlayingWithFire Foie]] is possibly based of "feuer" (meaning "fire"), [[LightEmUp Grants]] is likely supposed to be "glanz" (meaning "shine" or "glint") and Deband (a protective spell) may be based off "die wand" meaning "the wall".

*NoEnding: Once you defeat the final boss in either episode and enter the final teleporter on offline mode, the game plays the credits and that's it. Depending on your difficulty in the first game the boss' death animation is slightly different but there is no actual resolution to what it was that just happened to [[spoiler: Red Ring Rico]] and [[spoiler: Heathcliff Flowen]] and returning to Pioneer 2 afterwards will simply put you at events leading up to the final boss.

*AWinnerIsYou: When you beat either Dark Falz or Olga Flow in multiplayer you will get a splash image of your current party all performing heroic poses with the caption "Congratulations! You are the hero!" while the credits music plays without the actual credits.

** Episode 2 was particularly bad, as the first two mission enviroments are simulations with limited assets copy and pasted throughout. And with how long they are, you can begin to feel you are just running in circles because everything looks the same. Thankfully, the third and fourth areas feel much more unique.

This [[ContinuityReboot is unrelated]] to the original tetralogy. It begins with a planet called Coral, whose environment has been destroyed due to a prolonged period of warfare. Seeing no other hope for survival, the nations of Coral band together and plan a mass-exodus to a new homeworld in space.

''Phantasy Star Online'' comes in four episodes. '''Episode I''' is concerned with the efforts of Pioneer 2 in discovering the truth behind the mysterious explosion. To do this, the player must follow in the footsteps of Red Ring Rico, a famous Pioneer 1 Hunter who is also looking for answers. It soon becomes apparent that Ragol is not as safe as Pioneer 2 was led to believe, and that the people of Pioneer 1 were involved in some very questionable activities in their "colonisation" of Ragol.

All versions of ''Phantasy Star Online'' have had their online mode servers shut down. Sega had initially set up international servers for ''Blue Burst'', but these were shut down on March 31st, 2008. The Japanese servers went down on December 27, 2010. You can play PSO on a private server, with several fan-created efforts out on the net to try in this regard.
