#1
 Looks like the ENGLISH PATCH IS OUT! Warning: This is still against the ToS. While it's very unlikely you'll get banned for using it, it's still possible. Thanks to Killthee for the heads up. WEEKLY MAINTENANCE: Wednesdays at 11:00 ~ 17:00 JST Tuesdays at 9:00 PM ~ 3:00 AM Eastern Other Time Zones Emergency Quest Twitter Bot Again, thanks to Killthee for the information.  Phantasy Star Online 2 is an online action-rpg, with structure similar to games like Monster Hunter and Vindictus. You select quests and get character specific tasks called Client Orders while on the ship acting as the game hub and then group together with up to 3 other players to play the game. Combat wise, the game varies greatly between the three classes available. Going from hack and slash style combat for the Hunter to Lost Planet style third person shooter combat for the Ranger. The game itself is free to play, but not pay to win - there are no weapons for sale and all you can get for real money are exp/drop/money boosters, cosmetic items and various services. Genre: Online RPG Developer & Publisher: Sega Pricing: PSO2 is free to play but has various paid premium services. Release: 4th of July 2012 (Japan), Early 2013 (West) Platforms: PC, Mac (with Bootcamp), Vita (Spring 2013 release), iOS (Simplified version, Winter 2012 release) Official site: Link SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
 Registration and a much appreciated registration guide. Link. If you plan on playing, download the client ASAP as updating can take quite a long time (few hours).   - Real time action combat utilizing a unique, customizable combo system; - Parties up to 4 people/Player + 3 NPCs; - You can invite your in-game friend's character to the party as an NPC even if they're not online.; - Interrupt Events are randomly generated side-quests that can appear at anytime, and anywhere outside of boss areas. Interrupt events are presented in an easy-to-understand way using voiced text that appears over the screen consisting of: "ATTACK", "DEFEND", PROTECT", "COLLECT", and etc.; - Quest performance grading; - My Room, which can be decorated and expanded. This gives you an area to invite over friends and team mates with surprisingly robust customization (Cisce's My Room album); - The ability to switch classes for free while in the Lobby; - Class-specific skill trees; - Hard mode available for quests; - Story, which can be progressed through the "Matter Board" feature after meeting certain conditions; - You can break specific parts on the enemy's body;   FULL PAID CONTENT LIST All the paid content is bought using a currency called Arks Cash (AC). 1 AC = 1 yen. PREMIUM PASS PRICING
CONTENTS
  - No IP block of any kind was present during the previous tests; - It is possible to buy AC using a non-Japanese credit card, details can be found in the "Guides" section of this post (Keep in mind, that entering false information might get you banned, so do it at your own risk); - Open beta characters were transfered to the "retail" version of the game; - Ship 02 is the "official" server for the non-Japanese players; - The game is almost completely in Japanese but an unofficial English patch was released during the previous tests and a new version should be around this time too; - There hasn't been any announcement of the game releasing in the US/Europe; - If you took part in any of the previous tests you're all set and don't have to register anywhere; CAMPAIGNS - Registering for PSO2 before 11PM JST on 11st of July will net you a Rappy doll My House Item; - Reaching level 10 before 11AM JST on 18th of July will net you 4 Grinders and 2 Synthetizers; - Buying at least 2000 AC before 11AM JST on 18th of July will net you 2 +50% rare drop rate 30 minute buffs; - Buying at least 1000 AC with WebMoney until 1st of August will give you a chance to win 10000 Web Money points. 100 winners will be selected;  There are three races in the game, each with their weakness and strenghts (Human's main weakness is being boring) but they all have access to the same classes. Human  Usual, boring, well-balanced human race. They fit for all three classes available. Newman  Physically weak elf-like race of photon (magic) users. Cast  Robot-like man-made race with artificial bodies. They excel in Ability, HP and to a degree in Striking and Ranged Strength. (Thanks to SuperAngelo64 for the correction) Brand new to PSO2 is the inclusion of FOcast which allows Cast's to finally play as Force characters, a first for the series.  All 3 classes are available for all the races. Switching between classes is possible while in the Arks Lobby and is free. Each of the jobs comes with it's own skill tree which can be advanced at the rate of 1 point per level. All class skills are learned through skill discs and can only be set to certain weapons (excluding the Force class). Hunter  Close combat warriors who can equip swords, wired lances (blades on wires allowing to throw enemies around), partisans etc. This gives brand new playing styles for every single weapon type, making the game feel as fresh as possible. Their "dodge move" is a side step. Allowing players to quickly dodge and avoid enemy attacks at will. This combined with Guard is one of your most important assets during boss battles. Ranger  A ranged class which can enter an over the shoulder aiming mode for better accuracy and breaking specific parts of enemies' bodies. Rangers have access to three main different types of ranged weapons including: Rifle, Launcher and Gunslash. Gunslash is a unique weapon available for all classes that combine together a ranged weapon with a sword that can be swapped at will. Force  A powerful magic class using devastating techniques on enemies along with the ability to heal allies. Forces have a wide range of magic abilities, covering all of the elements in the game along with specific moves tailored to certain styles of play (AOE attacks for example)  - MAGs: are raisable pets that follow you in battle and provide usefull assistance such as passive stat boosts, support fire, and healing. Mags will charge up 'Photons' during combat. When the Mags have reached their Photon capacity, Mags can invoke powerful, single-use abilities:   - You can level up your character to Level 40. - Mag gets second evolution on level 100. - Frozen Thundra Area - Time attack mode - Story chapters 2-4 added - New costumes and hairstyles - New weapons (not weapon types) and armors   The list of planned until Spring 2013 is as follows: Mid-July Field Update
Mid-summer mid-scale update - "Soaring Crystal Dragons" (Working title) Field update
Implementation of an Event Lobby Early autumn large-scale update Class/Weapon update
Mid-autumn mid-scale update Field update

3 things:
1. If someone makes a guide, I'll link it. 2. I'll try to get the GAF player list up to date, so keep posting your character names. 3. Report any kind of errors in the OP, but keep in mind I'll be out for a few hours and will correct them when I come back. |

Few questions:
1) How much of the game is in there translated in the latest version? Is it just menus or did they get further than that? 2) Chances of a fan-translated version? Is anyone working on it already? 3) Any problems with using the Japanese servers such as lag? I simply must play this, even if Sega never bother releasing it in the West, but I'd really prefer to play knowing all item and weapon names etc. not to mention all the menus. It's sad (but typical Sega) that the best thing they've done for years is still so up in the air with a Western release. |

My character name has been "Roy Burning" since beta. I never played with humans but I am on Ship 2. I can't believe the final version is already here.
I live in Japan but I am not sure if I want to pay for premium content. I have a feeling I will if I put enough time into this game but time will tell... |

It's time to get ready for release guys.
 OH GOD WHY IS LISA EVERYWHERE Seriously though, I've absolutely loved the game from Alpha 2 until now and I'm amazed that the game is actually releasing today. I didn't manage to get to max level but I enjoyed the game so much just playing with friends. I'm really happy with the improvements to this thread Keiician, it looks a lot nicer and I'm just glad in general that you managed to get the rights to the OT. :) |

Ship 02, Player ID Ezodagrom, Character Ezodagrom. Also already bought 1000 AC to make 2 more characters, which will be named Johana and Blune (I know we can switch classes, but I need my newman and my cast). ;3
A couple of videos I recorded during the Open Beta, I have 3 more ready to be uploaded (I'll post those 3 once they're uploaded, most likely they won't be ready until next week though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmIYVKrmp3w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRSwRvcNRBA Also, obligatory Lisa picture: http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6802/pso2ob03.jpg ではでは.ではではでは. |
