How to get on the japanese server?

[Urzu4]

Hello, ive posted maby once before, so I apologize if I break a forum rule in the process. Firstly hi to all those fellow phantasy star lovers! ive been playing since the xbox pso and loved it since. Getting the the question, how do I get into the japanese server of psu? can someone point me in the direction or link I need to sign up/ download? also id like to point out that everyone should play guntecher 8-) they are obviously the best (let the flaming begin :-P)

It may be a little out of date, but it's the gist of it.

Edit: And I'm sure you'll be very happy with GT on JPPSU due to the GAS. =P

thanks alot, btw i heard you can play for free online somehow? or is this a fabricated lie told by them darn rappys again

[Mortalis]

Yes it's true. You can play totally free with restrictions. It's a fair balance.

This is the Free vs Paid restrictions.

I would assume so, but seeing as I made my account before it became free, I'm not actually sure. =x

ok thanks alot. this will be awesome to play for free. ive been on the 360 servers for a while and need something to dawdle on while traviling with my pc. But i heard there is a lvl 50 cap? or is this wrong

[Mortalis]

The cap for Free and Paid users at the moment is 180. And we're in the middle of an event, so your EXP will be flowing pretty fast at the start.

If I were to decide to try out the JP servers, how would I go about doing so?

*Edit: So I read the guide, and was wondering if this is for PS2/PC or 360? Or are they merged?

the guide is for the PC/PS2 Japanese server.

Jp 360 players are on the same server as Eu and Na.

If you're talking about the game key yes you should buy it. If you're talking about something else than I don't know. Lol
