EDIT: R3 means Asia(Japan not included)

To commemorate Taipei Game Show 2017, Asia PlayStation®Plus will offer an extra Free Game title ”Tales of Zestiria" to all PlayStation®Plus members starting from 20th January to 2nd February.
https://blog.asia.playstation.com/m...-for-taipei-game-show-2017-tales-of-zestiria/

On a side note, Alienation is also free on PS+ for R3 users and it's a game I highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet.

Thank you.
I thought I was gonna get some free stuff =(

Angel_DvA · Jan 20, 2017

Cool but I'll take Berseria over this anyday...

toythatkills · Jan 20, 2017

Because just typing "Asia" was way too confusing.

Thanks.

Do I need a Credit Card to create an asiatic account?

cw_sasuke · Jan 20, 2017

Could have just put Asia only in the title...R3 lol.

For creating the account? No. For activating the free PS+ trial(is that still a thing?), I'm not sure.

Sorry guys. I thought region codes were general knowledge. I'll edit the OP.

Lee Chaolan · Jan 20, 2017

Damn thought I had to press in the right stick with my PS+ subscription to unlock this for free.

ChrisD · Jan 20, 2017

Yay, I've been curious but didn't want to spend since impressions weren't consistent!

...oh, that's what R3 is
nvm lol

what a fucking thread title lmao

mocolostrocolos · Jan 20, 2017

Now to the point, how do I create an asiatic accont?

Are there 14-day PS+ trials as in other regions?

Do I need to keep suscribed to PS+ to play these games?

Nudull · Jan 20, 2017

Why you gotta be like that, OP?

It's the same as creating any account. The difference is you have to set your region to an asian country(minus Japan) when creating the account. Many people prefer to use Hong Kong so you can go with that. As with any PS+ game, you have access to it as long as your subscription is live. As for the free trial things, I'm not sure.

Qvoth · Jan 20, 2017

oh man alienation is asia's free ps+ game, i'm jealous :<
hope NA gets it soon :3

Makikou · Jan 20, 2017

If only these games would be on February PS+ EU..

A Link to the Past · Jan 20, 2017

I feel bad, because this thread is going to be mostly disappointment and crankiness

(I'm disappointed and cranky)

Lnds500 · Jan 20, 2017

Is the Japanese store included, or is it some weird distinction and JP is not considered Asia here?

As far as I'm aware, the JP store is separate from the Asian store but they do share some stuff here and there.

Nightengale · Jan 20, 2017

Asia Store pales in comparison to NA/EU store when it comes to deals, simul-release of indie games (where the hell is Stardew Valley & INSIDE!?), and there are times where that lack of certain indie games impact PS+ games ( no Invisible Inc for Asia PS+ yet), but in general, Asia PS+ is superior in its IGC offerings this gen.

Notable games that I think Asia got that NA/EU don't are...
- Guilty Gear Xrd
- Saints Row Re-elected
- Tales of Zestiria
- Gravity Rush Remastered

Not to mention there's no price increase.

Kuraudo · Jan 20, 2017

Zestiria is a terrible game, so no loss to non-R3 folk.

Yep. If the IGC didn't overlap so often and/or I could get multiple accounts running on Vita, I'd pay for asian PS+ just for the games.

I second this.

Usobuko · Jan 20, 2017

Tales is a series where it's very hard to muster the mood to play the game. Can't finished Xillia 2, Abyss, Symphonia.

But whatever, I will download this.

LastMinuteHero · Jan 20, 2017

Nothing wrong with the thread title

Also ps plus asia usually kicks ass. Deals suck though. And Ps2 classics is still not up.
On the brightside, you only have to pay the equivalent of 3 months NA ps plus for 1 year of asia ps plus.

ffvorax · Jan 20, 2017

Title is right but misleading... how many knows that R3 is region 3 that means asia? :\

I would love to play Zestiria for free, not a big fan of Tales series, but appreciated Xillia and Graces f.

This seriously surprises me. Anyone who owns at least a DVD player should know what region codes are.

Yeah, but I've literally never heard them used in relation to PSN. And would R2 be PAL or NTSC-J?

Like, this doesn't make sense at all.

Iva Demilcol · Jan 20, 2017

This thread title is the equivalent of that meme: "all according to keikaku"

R2 is PAL or european countries. cheesekao will probably explain it better

PSN has 4 distinct regions. For example, USA and Canada that fall under the R1 region.

R1 = America
R2 = Europe+Australia
R3 = Asia
Japan(Technically speaking, Japan is R2 as well but Sony separated it for obvious reasons)

So basically, your thread title demands that the reader first thinks of PSN in terms of DVD regions for no apparent reason, but then also remembers that PSN does not use DVD regions because they're different.

I'm glad that's cleared up!

DVD Region Code / Region(s) Used
1 / USA and Canada
2 / Western Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Japan
3 / Southeast Asia

Outside of Japan, it's pretty similar. Also, you're incorrect in assuming I made the title assuming people should think in DVD region codes.

Similar, but a fairly crucial difference, that. Important point though is that no one thinks of PSN in terms of "region codes," apart from you!

EU, NA, JP, and Asia (exc. JP) are the only ways that I have ever heard them referred to by on GAF.

Springy · Jan 20, 2017

Is this the PS4 version? The PS Blog didn't specify.

Psycho_Mantis · Jan 20, 2017

how hard is it to make an Asia account?

Not hard. But do you want to pay for Plus on that account?

Well I see people use them all the time. I guess GAF simply isn't used to it and I'll keep that in mind for the future.

PS4.

Are you sure there's no 14-day trial for new accounts?

Well I knew what you were on about OP so your title's fine in my book

Comes from all them years of importing R3 HK dvds!

The Jutty · Jan 20, 2017

Tales of Zesteria was my first Tales game and I really enjoyed it. What are the main reasons people don't like it?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
