Phantasy Star Portable [PSP] Gameplay and ....Rant

For Higher Quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU3TQXrBK-A&fmt=18

Personally When I first played this game I was amazed and sad at the same time. This game I can say is a perfect example why does Sony gets bad criticism. If you look at this game its quality is amazing its just as if it was a MMORPG but its not due to it not having online play. I don't really see any excuse on why its not available for online play. And yes I do know about Xlink Kai and PS3 Ad-hoc thing, but hell first you would buy the game for like 49.99 yet you would have to pay more to play online. And this is one big thing that I would say makes us PSP users kinda feel beaten.

Phantasy Star Portable [PSP] = Adhoc only, No Wifi play
Phantasy Star Zero [NDS] = Both local and wifi play are available.

The PSP should easily been able to have Wifi Just look even the NDS Version has WiFi yet chances are their game size is 128 mb while the PSP's is about 800-900 mb, wtf is the point in having alot of nice features and things if there's no online to showoff.

Moaning about the PSP not having online play... yes this really sucks but if you play with four players who are sat next t you the host lags like f*ck so thats maybe a reason for not having it online, MAJOR lag issues. SO quit complaining this is PHANTASY STAR after all :-D

lol Even without online play it still lags sometimes it mostly seems to be when you have a party of 4 I don't any lag when we play as a party of 3 but if we hit a party of 4 it lags like hell >.>

@nicolastiger couldnt do*

The problem was PSP focused on GRAPHICS (mainly) and misregarded online play because the machine could do great games +online, thats why I love NDS so much more, games could be graphically lower but you always get online (no mean to disrespect anyone, only portraying the truth)

This game is multi-player via ad-hoc, but is this mode of play relevant to the storyline or is it simply a non-relevant aspect of the game where all you do is gain experience or items for your own game? I'd like to know more before I consider purchasing. I'm especially interested in ad-hoc connectivity being an option, but I would also like room for individual play.
