I played a little bit of the Xbox version of PSO last week to see what it was like, but unfortunately the controls are pretty bad. It feels like those PS1 games that had analog stick support but in reality just mapped the dpad controls to the left stick, it seriously feels like you can only move in 8 directions. It's not unplayable for rangers but melee combat is pretty painful on Xbox.
I'll still probably play it a decent amount just for the heck of it though, since I love both the original Xbox and PSO. On the bright side, it does have much faster loading times than the Gamecube version, and it's much easier to use a keyboard with (as you can just plug in a usb keyboard to that usb cable needed for modding the xbox). It's also predicted that it will be cross play with the Gamecube version since a lot of the online data seems to be the same across both versions.
