Phantasy Star Online 2 finally comes to PS4 in the west almost a decade after it was meant to

After initially releasing in Japan a literal decade ago, Phantasy Star Online 2 is finally making its way to PS4 in the west.

Phantasy Star Online 2 first released on PC in Japan exactly a year ago today (July 4), but didn’t see any kind of western release until 2020.
