For those of you who don't know, Phantasy Star Online 2 (short PSO2) is a Japanese MMORPG game, the sequel to Phantasy Star Online, an epic RPG game made for the PS2. I remember playing PSO on my friend's PS2 at his house when I was in elementary school, and man did I have a blast playing through the story. Phantasy Star Online 2 is currently released in Japan, but English speaking users have made a patch for it so that we can all play in English, of course. It has been confirmed that it will release in North America sometime this year or next year, but if you can't wait to play it, well it's available in Japanese patched to English (which has been out for quite some time now). So has anyone played this game yet, or is anyone going to play this game in the future? I haven't gotten the chance to download the JP version, but I'd like to know some feedback and review about the game before I try it out. Maybe I will just wait for the actual North American release to come out.
If the patch is fully in English I will defiantly give it a go, but if a lot of things are still in Japanese I will skip it just for the simple fact I don't know any Japanese and would make the learning curve to difficult.
This is the MMO I have been patiently waiting for ever since its release in Japan, and even considered playing in the Japanese server, but the thing that is holding me from doing so is the issue with purchasing premiums and the fact that only old contents are translated in the English patch, so newly released contents are in Japanese and may take some time for the English patch to be updated with the new contents. Good thing the game will be released here in Southeast Asia (courtesy of Asiasoft) and is projected to launch in the first quarter this year. I hope there won't be an IP block so you guys can play with us. As they always say, the more the merrier.
