Wiki copy/paste:

[quote]Phantasy Star Online 2 is a video game in the Phantasy Star series, published by Sega and released for Microsoft Windows on July 4, 2012. It will be released on iOS and Android in late 2012 and PlayStation Vita in 2013. It is currently released in Japan. Phantasy Star Online 2 was then further announced to be released within North America and Europe.[/quote]

This game is also [B]F2P[/B]. However, Ark Cash is required for certain things.

You can play as three races:

[B]Humans[/B] - Humans - well adapted for all classes, but unable to be fully amazing at any of them
[B]Newman[/B] - Elves - masters of photon (magic) arts, but weak in close combat
[B]Cast[/B] - Robots - weak in photon, powerful in fighting and combat

You can choose three different classes:

[B]Hunter[/B] - close combat, warriors
[B]Ranger[/B] - ranged combat, gunmen
[B]Force[/B] - mages

To create a SEGA ID, go onto the japanese PSO link and click the big yellow hexagon, and follow the instructions in this picture: [URL]http://i.imgur.com/Uobyq.png[/URL]

I'm also looking for buddies to play with (and to help me figure out what everything is). Add me on steam/pm on facepunch

PSOBB was my favorite MMO of all time, hands down. Been looking at this game for the longest now. I would play on the JP servers, but the lust and addiction is kinda lost when you don't know what the fuck is happening because you only know English. :v

[joost1120]

I played PSO 1 on the gamecube. Was the best game ever.

Navigation of basic things isn't hard at all.

Can't wait for people to break the encryption on the files so we can get an english patch though.

[Ray-The-Sun]

HUcast for life, yo.

[Carecup]

Waiting for the partial english patch release before I get this. Can't be bothered to navigate through all the Japanese.

I'm on Ship 6, usually hanging out in Block 20. Name is Leena Stein. Level 11 Ranger.

Word to the wise: Rocket launchers OP

[Tetsmega]

Anyone on FP actually playing this? Making an account is super easy, and I made a character on a ship but forgot which number and am too lazy to find out since you can only make one character.

[Vashzaron]

Here's the upcoming content coming on the 18th. Mines area.

Here's also two videos I made Solo VS the Panther bosses, which I currently think are the most fun bosses.

That's already been done long ago, problem they are having so far is re-encrypting it back into the game.

Not at all, if anything Weak Bullet "OP" and Rifles are much more suited to bosses. ([URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qWWWRTGf_0"]Traps as well to certain bosses[/URL].)

Can you move between ships or are you locked onto one ship?

[Vashzaron]

[QUOTE=redBadger;36740967]Can you move between ships or are you locked onto one ship?[/QUOTE]

Locked onto Ships. They said they may do something for switching ships in the future before. (I'd bet this would cost real money/)

[redBadger]

I guess I'll stick on Ship 6 until we can all agree on a good 'facepunch' ship.

[editline]12th July 2012[/editline]

I'm on right now if anyone wants to play, ship 6 like fish_poke. Add me on steam

[Carecup]

Whats the questing like for this?

[Mikesword221]

This game is great and all that, I especially love the game play, doesn't feel like an MMO at all. I just wish I could understand what I'm looking at half the time.

Really, you get used to it. I can navigate menus as quickly as if it were in English. Only thing I have trouble with is the Mag menu.

[Windy]

I'll end up downloading the Japanese version just to try out for a bit, once I've finished downloading stuff from steam.

[QUOTE=A.C.I.D;36742056]Whats the questing like for this?[/QUOTE]

Go to place, do things. Really, just kill anything and everything you can. To unlock certain zones, you have to meet certain requirements. To unlock Free Forest, you have to talk to Koffee after completing the Level 7 quest. From there, you have to collect 2 items (should already have anyways), complete the level 5 quest in less than 10 minutes with an S rank and complete the Level 7 quest in less than 12 minutes with an S rank.

From there, you go to the free forest where bosses are. After getting to level 9, talk to Koffee and you'll get another quest. This time, to go to the Caves. Complete Free Forest in less than 15 minutes with an S rank to unlock the Caves.

[Silverspar]

Does anyone know how i could connect my Dreamcast to the internet without a broadband adapter?

Oh yeah, This looks good. Signing up.

[The_Jacket]

As much as I love Phantasy Star, I really hope the the environments are improved on the new one. I found the areas in the other ones really bland and empty.

Add me, you could probably help me out. I'm pretty lost when it comes to stores and everything else.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36743575]so how is the f2p element?
i really hope it is just cosmetics and xp boosts or w/e
i don't want the pso series to end in a whimper[/QUOTE]

the only pay stuff are cosmetics and the ability to trade pretty much

everything was free in the beta though

These ones are really neat. They're really big in some places yet never to cramped.

[Clio]

oh and if you want more than 1 char & mag per account, you gotta pay :/

why did you steal my automerge

Enemies constantly respawn, so it is kept pretty fresh.

Nothing major. By buying something you get access to Premium, which gives you a room. Other than that, I have only seen it used for minor store things and character editing after creation. Overall, nothing too bad.

[quote=redBadger]Add me, you could probably help me out. I'm pretty lost when it comes to stores and everything else. [/quote]

If I'm able to get back on later tonight, sure.

[Silverspar]

Okay, i made an account. How big is the download?, is it slow?, does the client require Japanese locale?

[redBadger]

Damnit, I need to get some ark cash and get premium.

[Mikesword221]

I can't figure out how to sell things.

[Silverspar]

I have the launcher open but when i press the big blue button, the top bar doesn't move. Any ideas or suggestions?

It's stuck at this.

Give it time. It's patching IIRC. It'll take a while.

About to hop on Ship 6. If you need any help in-game, my IGN is Leena Stein.
