Since when am I the resident Dreamcast fanatic? I have less games for it than anyone I know.

Anyway, assuming you mean the actual Phantasy Star games and not PSO, the official word on them is that the creators of the series specifically said they weren't making any more past 4. That aside of course, Sonic Team is still cranking out the PSO games, and the originals are getting ported all over it seems.

As far as Grandia goes, there aren't any new ones on the horizon, but I've yet to see any indication that GameArts is done with'em.

Menchi does look pretty darn cat like, but she looks even more like a particular breed of dog whose name I can't recall. Used to know someone who had one, barked CONSTANTLY.

Oh, and yes, I suppose big blue marshmellow hats are also fairly interesting. So are bowler hats and fedoras. Red mage hats are still the best though.
