A late localization PAL prototype of Phantasy Star Online for the Sega Dreamcast.
==Notes==

*Serial Number and Access Key needed.
**Strangely, many PAL region Serial Number and Access Keys do not work.
**Serial Number F44E0814 and Access Key PNUCkJ9T appear to work.
*The build date of 2001/01/14 is only 6 days before the golden master's date of 2001/01/20.
*The version on the disc is V2.009, two minor versions before the golden master version of V2.011.
*There are only two file changes between this release and the final retail release:
**'''1ST_READ.BIN''', with many changes to the file.
**'''GSL_CITY.GSL''', with a few byte changes, but most notably [https://i.imgur.com/Q4bmhng.png fixes a repeated line ("Die Hunter's Guild...") from the NPC outside the Hunter's Guild] when the game's language setting is in German and in the online mode.
