Hello,

I have been a very big fan of the phantasy star franchise since pso episode 1&2 and has been my favorite series since i have first played the game in 2004. I love the endless grinding with amazing character customization. But, right now I'm very torn about pso2... it looks amazing and i was beyond psyched when i found out about the game in 2012. I have read it will be releasing for the vita,I was pumped because i don't have a computer that can run it and I loved psp2 the most out of all of them. The portability, multiplayer, and extensive character creation. Psp broke, and got a vita for christmas looking forward to a few games, especially pso2. No news on its release to this day and it is making me upset. I read the Japanese game is not region locked and i really don't wanna go through the hassel of switching back and forth between psns. So I was considering paying 50-70 dollars to buy the physical copy, but it is expensive and in JAPANESE. I cannot read a lick of japanese. So I was wondering if it was worth it, and if the community will help guide me through the game? Is there a high possiblity of the u.s. release? Thanks for your time and im open to all suggestions :D

There's a hefty number of people playing on the shared Vita/PC blocks so you're bound to find someone. But you'll have to register an account with Sega before that can happen though.

Tentative release date of 2013!

Maybe by December, a year after the JP Vita announcement, they'll make a vague statement about NA/EU PSO2 on Vita!

ed:Oh wait, they announced that last March, so they're already a year late by now

use common sense people.

"the problem is, it's all in japanese!"

"i cant read a lick of japanese, is it worth it?"

what do you think? of course it's not worth it.

and before people reply'DURHUR, i have the vita version i cant read japanese but its FUN' you probably already familiarized yourself with the menus, items, gameplay from the PC version.

OP why don't you invest in some cheap walmart PC that can play PSO2. the game doens't have high system reqs.

Get the free version, then decide if its worth it. There are guides on bumped. You'll fumble around for a bit, but you'll get it.

Well, I really want this game. Like Mopop said, ill try the free version and try to learn the ins and outs. I am familiar with the previous phantasy star games. So knowing the equipment shouldn't be an issue. More atk power/more accuracy/better defense/better evade/more stars the better. You go into lobby to trade, buy and sell equips then take on a mission in your level range. If that is essentially what it is, I should be fine. Glad to hear there is a pretty hefty amount of english players. Thanks for the input all.

It's a bit different this time around, no more accuracy based equipment, just your own ability to aim, trading is reserved for premium users and that's about it.

It doesn't detract from the experience or at least it shouldn't, but you'll be fine with the basics.
