What is Phantasy Star Online about?

The story of Phantasy Star Online is unrelated to the original Phantasy Star series,[10] and is less substantial.[8] Threatened by the imminent destruction of their home planet, thousands of refugees arrive at planet Ragol aboard the spaceship Pioneer 2. As they establish contact with colonists sent ahead on Pioneer 1, an enormous explosion shakes the planet. Adventurers from Pioneer 2 land to investigate the explosion and search for Rico Tyrell, daughter of the head of Pioneer 2. They discover the planet overrun by monsters, and follow messages left by Rico leading to an ancient evil, Dark Falz.

Should I stream Phantasy Star Online on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 6 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 6 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream Phantasy Star Online?

Right now

1 right now, to 6 viewers between them. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is Phantasy Star Online too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Phantasy Star Online, and the one English stream holds all 6 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
