• Phantasy Star Online 2 (JP) - Holiday News Wrap-up - December 26th, 2012

    There are a number of news updates from yesterday and today for Phantasy Star Online 2, including new videos for PSO2 Vita, New Year's scratch rotation, and some new campaigns. If you've been following the latest discussions in the forums, you probably already know about most of these, but here's a convenient recap for everyone who has had a busy (and hopefully happy) holiday so far:


    PSO2 Vita - Intro and Promo Videos Released



    The above intro video for PSO2 Vita is pretty fun and exciting, so be sure to check it out. A promotional video for the game was also released, highlighting some of the features in the Vita version of PSO2 (which are basically the same features you'll find in PSO2's PC counterpart, aside from some of the differences we previously covered):



    December 26th Client Update:

    Phantasy Star Online 2 (JP) underwent regularly scheduled maintenance on the 26th, bringing and end to Christmas content and making way for New Year's AC & Fun Scratch rotations. The new costumes can be seen on our previous article here and a full listing of costumes and accessories can be seen on the official PSO2 JP player's site. In addition, players will now receive (5) grinders instead of (1) through FUN scratch. Here are the technical details of this latest patch:

  • Update Size: 15MB
  • Launcher Version: 01.05.01
  • Game Version: 1.0201.3
  • First Time Download Size: 5.4GB
  • New Holiday Campaigns & Player Survey:

    SEGA has launched several new campaigns for new player registration, AC purchase, and Webmoney. The new player registration campaign will reward all new SEGA ID registrants who sign up for PSO2 game service (between December 26th, 2012 and January 23, 2013) with a Miniature Rappy room decoration. Prizes will be distributed in February 2013.



    The AC purchase and Webmoney campaigns will both run from December 26th, 2012 through January 16th, 2013 at 11:00 JST. Anyone purchasing 2000AC or 5000AC during the campaign will qualify for the following rewards:

  • 2000AC: (99) Grinders, (1) Photon Sphere, (1) EXP +50% booster
  • 5000AC: (1) Rappy Suit
  • 5000AC+ (through Webmoney only): Entry into Webmoney drawing
  • The Webmoney drawing will feature (5) Grand Prize winners, each receiving 50,000 points of Webmoney. An additional (100) winners will receive 1,000 points. Remember, you must purchase AC through Webmoney to qualify for the drawing, but this method is not required for the grinders & rappy suit rewards.


    Lastly, SEGA is holding their 2nd player's questionnaire for PSO2, giving players a chance to send in their suggestions and ideas. The questionnaire will be available from December 26th, 2012 through January 15, 2013 and everyone who participates will receive an item code for a 500 FUN ticket (to be distributed in February 2013). Sega also would like to remind everyone that item codes distributed from previous events throughout the year will be expiring on December 31st, 2012, so be sure to redeem them before then!
