Aloha everybody! As the title suggests, I would like to share all of the PSO2 stuff that I was able to find while I was on vacation in Tokyo. PSO2 merchandise isn't as easily available as other franchises, even in Tokyo, so it was quite a joy to find them where I did. Enjoy!

SEGA's ad money at work - massive PSO2 billboards.
The first one awaits pedestrians leaving the JR Line platform at Akihabara station.
Found the second one totally by chance at a crosswalk. There was a FFXIV billboard above it too, but you wouldn't really see it unless you were looking up at the building for some reason. Guess the marketing team was able to get some prime placement :P

Some fashion articles stowed away in a corner at the COSPA building at Akihabara. Cute but nothing worth spending your yen on unless you really love the game. Was hoping to somehow find an ARKS carabiner but it's to be expected since they were sold out long ago.
Last image was from the COSPA booth at Narita Airport.

Found these at Kotobukiya. I found Aka Onihime and the Eleanor model kit later on too but neglected to take a photograph. Was hoping to find the Chogokin version of Eleanor but I guess I'm out of luck.

Was happy to find these too but the prices would really put a dent in your wallet unless you're rich, have a massive budget and not a temporarily income-less student.
The ARKS version of Quna was a whopping 20,000++ yen! Would totally pay if there was quality merch of Tea though. In fact I'm very disappointed to have found nothing related to P&T)
Sorry for the crappy photo on the shot with the FOnewearl and HUmarl, a shop attendant was around and photography wasn't allowed (unless I understood them wrongly).

Last but not least, keychains! Of all the PSO2 related things I managed to find, the pixel keychains made me the happiest, especially because they were stowed away in some obscure corner and I got really lucky finding them.
... Didn't really care for the anime keychains though. :/

My loot! Managed to find some Lilipan/Arkma mugs along with some plastic folders featuring Nagisa/Rico at Mandarake but I forgot to take pictures in my excitement. Found the books completely by chance too.

BONUS - I now know what is true fear.

Patty and Tea, and Sara don't get enough love...

Anyway, looks awesome.

Lord Freeza has always been terrifying.

How are the Io, and Katori keychains cheaper than Saga? O.o

I mean, Saga IS a slightly less cool version of mr fanatical fitness himself...

If you're still in Tokyo, make sure to visit the top floor of the GAMERS store in Akihabara. They had a huge PSO2 The Animation section there during March, so still might be some things left to loot.

Matoi cost 1000, that's like 4 dollars more than everyone else :/ At least the store owners knew who's important.

T_T I've already returned home unfortunately, though I can't imagine most non-Japanese audiences caring much for the anime and its related goods... Was trying really hard to find a Lilipan/Rappy plush while I was there though, couldn't find anything.

I'm going to Japan in November so I'm hoping I can find things like this too :wacko: Amazed there's no Patty/Tea stuff though, I figured they'd be more popular.

Those pixel keychains are really cute though, wouldn't mind the Io one :lol:

Hope your hunt goes better than mine! My advice is to spend more time rooting through Akihabara if you can afford to spend the time there, unless someone else already living in Japan can advise otherwise. :)

If you are able to, I was told you could get some online stores like 1999 or amiami to ship locally to wherever you are staying though that would probably be particularly inconvenient, especially if you don't understand Japanese.

All of a sudden I feel like that one scene from that one game I've never played.
