My prediction is the game is destined to fail if being handled by Asiasoft, they had ruined RO2 so bad, now the total people still playing are really low :/
Why SEGA choose Asiasoft? WHY?!! :argh::rant::mad:

Bad management, in terms of players' service, bug fixing, and hack handling.
All they care is to update Cash Shop any chance they have, instead of solving bug and glitches that occur to players.
No interaction at all with the players, and the complaint done by players aren't taken seriously. there's one time that a player report there's players using hack and glitches, but instead of the wrongdoers get banned, the reporter get punished.
-This all happen in SEA RO2. Others can tell us about other games.

ill just bypass my way to JP servers back if this happens....its like the end of the world....those who went on RO2 know the pain

coming from singapore i know how painful it is to play a SEA mmorpg and playing with SEA players generally....

typical potential SEA player comments

1. wtf noob dont hit the dark falz lower arms omfg noob quit this game please

2. going "VH TACOS LFP" every 5 seconds in lobby

3. AQ PARTY 1/4 ONLY LEVEL 55 AND ABOVE...THOSE BELOW GTFO AND WILL CHECK EQUIP

4. dude not happy? come find me *inserts teleport number and address* we settle this

5. 90% vulgarities goes " YOUR MOTHER blah blah blah "

And for those who doesnt know i heard asiasoft makes the game harder than the original to make ppl buy more cash....and probably not limited...

Theres probably a chance they could also make costumes go for 30 days peroid kind of thing rather than unlimited.....and im sure as well believe content updates will be barely available

^This still applies.

Although after experiencing iRO2 (which copies almost everything from seaRO2), I'm now worried the same will happen for iPSO2, in which case... RIP iPSO2.

Edit: Hm, makes me wonder if I should support the seaPSO2 skill translations on the skill sim... the mistranslations would be hilarious.

Asiasoft's own wrongdoing is the cause of most players to never trust them again.

And yes, Asiasoft DID make the game harder so that the players must purchase cash items in order to win.

RO2 is Ragnarok Online 2:The Legend of Second btw. It's the English version of KoreanRO2 :)

No wonder people hate them. Making a game harder so people have to purchase cash items is a scam, a pathetic one at that :nono:.

Never heard of Ragnarok Online before. Looking at some info on it, it looks like a game that I would probably enjoy.

It's a grindfest. Don't bother if you don't have any friends to play with. Soloing Renewal is OK until you realize anything beyond Lv100 is just as bad as the old 98 -> 99 without the proper equip/cards.

It makes me wonder why for the Vita(Ragnarok Odyssey) it was changed from grind to a Monster Hunter clone.

As for the bad reputation, I've heard so many countless tales about asiasoft it's difficult to try to find one redeeming quality about them that makes them stand from the rest other than ramping up the need for CS.

Created by different people. RO2:LotS was remade after Gate of the World failed (I liked Gate of the World more, to be honest) and is developed by Korean staffs. Odyssey was planned by GungHo (JP) or something and was developed by Game Arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Arts).

Oh, so a free to play game that is supposed to be a domestic release has been sold to some company that milks their games for all they are worth with a cash shop? I think I've heard that story before, except the game was called Dynasty Warriors Online and the company's name was Aeria Games.

That story wasn't a very happy one, either - the game was a good year behind the Japanese version in terms of updates, came out with half of the content that didn't even need to be localised missing and was full of exploiters and hackers.

I then tried googling for more information and basically found gaming news sites... that linked to Gamespot.

Ahh, there it is, thank you.

Let's pray that the Western release is, ah, not subject to such a business model. And also not subject to region-locking, so that players from that region have an alternative.

Zipzo
May 30, 2013, 04:42 PM
This isn't breaking news as they are usually the default region publishers for all of their according countries for any major known game.

First of all, Asiasoft is sinister for their IP blocks. This doesn't mean NA will get one since they seem to neglect IP banning NA sometimes. Secondly, you don't want to play a game under Asiasoft, it's probably a worse omen than your Sega of America (though I've not much experience with SoA specifically so don't quote me).

Finally, their announcement means close to nothing (even for SEA people) because they neglect to mention any release date, so as of this point that announcement is as good as your announcement (worth a hair plucked from your balls). Although I will give a hearty laugh if they are localizing the game completely separate of Sega of America and they actually deploy the game before SoA revises their release date (if that ever happens).

I'm still shipping that the USA version of the game has likely been ostensibly cancelled :/

UnLucky
May 30, 2013, 05:31 PM
for SEA RO2, Asiagames:

Increased the Resurrection skill's cooldown from 5 to 50 minutes
Removed Large Bags as mob drops (5 more spaces than Medium Bags)
Changed a Khara quest (achievements, basically) that required finding three Large Bags to now require three Super Large Bags, which are $20 in the cash shop. Each. And are not tradeable.


The best part is that for iRO2, WarpPortal copied all of that AND removed town warp scrolls from the NPC shops, which are still available in SEA RO2 as far as I know. Of course, you can still get them randomly from cash shop gambles.

Don't act like this doesn't affect you.

Rather, they're making more money off of their regional market than their global market.

Up until the Portable spin offs, they had some interest in the west with the varying designs and planets used in PSU. From PSPo2 and Infinity they decided to focus on the national playerbase, by introducing more pronounced and more anime-esque PA's, characters and clothing.

Besides, they're also making a large profit from western players that play on the Japanese version as we have only a few options on buying AC and amount.

I understand some peoples idea for enjoying a legit english translation over a Really Well done Fan-Patch, but its sad when they cry out to a company that don't care even though it's them self limiting them from even enjoying the game Real Time without False-Update waits(as in, waiting for content OTHERS already know is coming, without data mining... as its already been released on the Jp serv.)

But I don't understand - Why wait for an English localization from Sega of America, who probably knows 0% Japanese in their whole team, and constantly makes translation/localization mistakes?

It just blows my mind, to be honest. How do you fuck that up, SOA? :twak:

I hate how things change so much in America. Some changes off the top of my head:

1.Dragon Ball Z had blood and a shirt that said "Hell". Was edited out in America.

2.Gun color was changed in another cartoon to look more like a toy.

3.Phantasy Star 2 had a gay character, but was changed in America.

4.Final Fantasy had a church, not a clinic. Though FADE is a cooler spell name than HOLY so is not a total loss.

5.Bars turned to cafes in Final Fantasy VI

6.Final Fantasy IV goes further into Kain's backstory in the Japanese version while America gets the easy version.

7.Naked characters in Phantasy Star IV were edited out, not to mention the entire Profound Darkness origin story. Though Chaz is a cooler name than Rudy =) A bad change that more than makes up for it is Lutz changing to Noah.

8.Too many to mention.

gigawuts

That depends on what they're actually localizing, and how competent the team is.

The best example of localization is still the rice balls turned into donuts in Pokemon. Who makes donuts that look like that?

Gigafreak
May 31, 2013, 07:02 AM
At first I thought they changed Rudy's name to Chaz so nobody would mix him up with Rudolph from Phantasy Star 2 ("Rudy" is common shorthand for "Rudolph," though PS2's character introduces himself as "Rudo.")

Then I found out "Alys" is supposed to be named "Lyla," Meaning they added a much more significant source of potential confusion, made worse in that there's even a city devoted to monuments of Alis.

Did Sega of America localize Phantasy Star Zero themselves, or did they hire another company to handle it... That translation went pretty well.

Such is the plight of bureaucratized game development.

They pool resources into developing a game, and if they think it'll flop because of its flaws they spend twice as much on a whole new, probably almost identical game (with more bloom) instead of half as much investigating and resolving its flaws.

Well, the chances of SEGA stepping up to the plate are slim to none at this point, so I would accept any English version over none at all. I can understand Google translated shit a hell of a lot better than Japanese, so. Yeah.

Once final word is said on our version of the game, it will do no good to complain over long periods of time. Either play the sub-par English version of the Japanese game, or not. We aren't going to get much happier unless we play American MMOs.

Drip-feeding usually refers to when content is or has been readily available, they just aren't giving it to us because they want to slowly released it over time, yet they could give it to us.

I imagine this isn't the case with PSO2 at the least, so far. It definitely was the case with PSU, and that had a lot of people angry.

In current PSO2, we generally are receiving a steady stream of content that I assume is the constant workload of the team running the game. That's not drip-feeding, that's just providing players with content.

Does SEA include the Phillipines?

In that case, how about: no, no, and FUCK no? I absolutely LOATHE playing with pinoys and Brazilians.

Brazil is nowhere near the SEA region, though...

...Also not all BR players are bad.

I said this before, SEA is South East Asia. Phillipines is part of that region and most cases region locked, with the exception of some games allowing people from the US to play on.

Will not understand till this very day why ppl don't say some and instead categorize them all in one group do you guys think before you post racial bullshit?

Granted, BR players are more tolerable than pinoys. I still have had very bad experiences playing with both on GetAMPED 2. XP

Found this article today. Not sure if anyone else saw it or posted it yet. I've been waiting a long time for a English release of the game. (Haven't been on this site for a while as a result.) Maybe we're getting a English client of PSO2 instead of our own release. I sadly refuse to patch the current one until there is NO chance of an English PSO2 game whatsoever.

Does anyone know if Sega is doing anything big at E3? Maybe a small announcement that this game isn't dead would be nice.

Anyhow, just wanted to share the information with the folks here.

if this actually happens and all of us are forced to move there i rather we form a "ship 2" community at one block cause it will be much better than playing with general SEA players...

and im from SEA too sadly

good god, they're letting Asiasoft publish this before even thinking about publishing it themself in EU/NA.

great move Sega, fuckign great move.
expect laggy as hell servers, and a community that will blow your mind.
giving Asiasoft a game to publish is the first thing you do when you wanna destroy your own games reputation quickly for the rest of the world.

Who honestly cares if the outfits aren't as risqué? Does not affect gameplay.

Dressup Dolls Online Star 2's gameplay revolves entirely around risqué outfits.

Take out the risqué and you may as well just be playing PSO1 amirite.

Other than that it's the principle of the thing. If the original is vastly superior then why play an English version? An original product shouldn't hide aspects or water itself down, as if the original were somehow shameful in some way when it isn't.

only way the english release could be redeemed is if it sells nude skins for $20
