The narrator then refers to the game as “the world’s first network multiplayer consumer RPG”. This guy deserves a medal for making a Dreamcast game feel like some kind of momentous event! We are then given a jumble of concept art, intermixed with gameplay from the actual game. We then cut to the logo for the game, before getting into more over-the-top narration. I’ll be honest, the way soundtrack is framed here makes this moment fairly intense. This guy sounds really campy and over the top with his delivery, as if he’s trying to be the narrator for Dragon Ball Z or something! After a bit of narration, we cut to an explosion on the planet known as “Ragol”. The trailer then cuts to a person hooking up a Dreamcast, while a narrator with a strangely intense voice talks about how awesome PSO is.

Speaking of awkward, time to get into the obligatory narration about how amazing the game is! I mean, you couldn’t come up with a sillier line even if you tried! I still love the line, despite its rather awkward delivery. One of the last keywords they say is “A New World”, which will never stop being cheesy to me.

Still, the game seems to say it as if the option to not fight monsters is a thing, which it isn’t. Not fighting is never an option, unless you’re in the lobby or you’ve cleared out a room of monsters. Most of them relate to the game, but at one point a person says “Not Fighting”.

The game then has several voice actors saying random words as the appear on the screen. Honestly, PSO’s soundtrack is so amazingly solid that it would be a crime to not attach it to every single commercial for the game. The trailer in question starts with that classic Phantasy Star Online music, coupled with the Sonic Team logo.
