Phantasy Star Online
Whether you prefer the original Phantasy Star games, their MMO spinoffs, or C.A.R.D. Revolution like some kind of sick freak, the long-running RPG series has had many different variations on offer, and we would love for it to finally come to roost on the Xbox One. In the end, we opted for Online over Universe on this list, chiefly because Phantasy Star Online 2 has been doing the rounds on current gen consoles and we want in, dammit.
First launching as a Microsoft Windows game in 2012, PSO 2 has since appeared on Vita, PS4, Android, iOS and even the Switch. If you’re keeping score at home, that puts it on pretty much everything except the Xbox One and the 3DS. Considering it would be a logistical nightmare to run on Nintendo’s plucky little portable, this is basically yet another example of Sega giving Microsoft the short end of the stick. Fortunately, Universe did make it to the Xbox 360, so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility.
As an aside, Phantasy Star Online Episode I & 2 was ported to the GameCube and original Xbox, but not the PlayStation 2. Good to know that sometimes the roles are reversed, eh? Take that, mid-2000s Sony!!
