I love this game! I remember playing the 360 demo for a short time and then picking up the full game a few months later, and spending so many hours hunting down monsters and defeating bosses with friends in online group chats. Ive met a lot of extraordinary people playing this game over the years and I still love it 18 years later. PSU Clementine is a lot of fun, It kinda stinks that you can't play episode 3 anymore but you can still watch it online so it still exists in some way. 😢
Pso2 captures most of this experience too but it's lacking in story compared to universe imo.
