I didn't know you can dance in PSO2. All the stuff with the room looks pretty cool IMO.

Also, I found that Phantasy Star Online 2 servers will not be linked.

This is the PSO2 screen where you choose your character's boob size.

Yet I'll spend an hour on that screen making the perfect breasts...

[Hathen]

Well, at least that's more intuitive than a slider.

I haven't been following this game at all. Now that I'm a bit interested, I've found that there actually isn't a lot of info out there. Kind of surprising, would've thought this game would get more attention.

[Agent D.]

It got a ton of attention, US players got pissed because Sega wouldn't bring the game out here sooner, figured out how to use a translator third party app made by psupedia guys, then started fucking with the game, leading to japanese players hating anyone speaking english on their servers...and english speaking people damning the US. Iirc, sega started banning anyone playing outside of japan too, which was funny.

If it ever comes out in the US, I may try it, bt as of now fuck this game and fuck Sega too.

So, I saw that this game was under 4GBs on the PS Store and decided to set up my second Vita card with my JPN PSN account. I get it installed, try to log in with my Sega ID, BAM, 1.5GB update..... Fuuuuuuuuuuu-

I guess I'll have to wait until I get a new memory card to play this game on the go. :(

Yeah, don't bother if you're looking to play PSO2 "on the go".  This game is fun, but being completely honest, it's the worst game ever for a handheld.  I have no problem with always-online for PC games, but the fact of the matter is, the Vita version 1) requires you to be connected to WiFi. Always.  2) will boot you from the server if your vita goes to sleep, so don't leave it idle or turn off your vita idle timer and 3) is better on PC anyway so why would you play it on the Vita if you have to pretty much be at home to play?

I dig the game a lot, but the Vita version is frustrating.

[Taelus]

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, was that it was basically a "if you can't access your PC version and are in a place with internet then sure, go for it." You said you dig the game though-- that's good. When I played the PC beta, I was pretty astounded by how much more responsive and fluid it was than PSU when it came out.

WiFi isn't too much of an issue for me, really. If I did have the urge to play and didn't have it available I could just play over 4G using my phone, hah.

I'll probably just wait for the US release of the game to start playing it on PC again anyway....hopefully the Vita version makes it over here, too.

[Klutz64]

That's just great. Now will they release the game over here like they said they would a year ago?

[Hathen]

Episode 2, awesome, I'll get around to that as soon as I finish Episode 1 in English.

Nice vid,

Game still looks awesome, can't wait.

It should be out around time for the Phantasy Star 30th Anniversary.

[Agent D.]

Fuck Sega, this is lame now. Bring the fucking game to the english-speaking playerbase already.
