Banning is a bit of a stretch. Usually banning is reserved for removing problematic players from a game. They'll let people steal your IGN before they outright ban your account for inactivity/not...

Torrent is just plain better. Even with factoring in update time. Now if you wanted to put together a torrent of the updated client that would be the bee knees. Supposedly the Tweaker uses a...

What is it like living in an echo chamber?

I wasn't arguing quality on either side, I'm talking about sperging out when someone has a difference of opinion. Find me a post where someone wanting an English version berates a JP player and mocks...

I'll take "posts that scream autsim" for 600!

Seriously though, the contempt for folks on this board that have the audacity to want a localized version of this game is cringeworthy.

We can make this into an off topic thread if you like but let me say this.

Comcast is basically going to throw their money at lobbies and some of which include former FCC legislators. Between all...

Insider info here. The purchase is more or less done but but from a logistical standpoint switching over pricing systems and infrastructure isn't going to happen over night. Lots of folks with TW are...

I'm in south Texas right now and I'm using time warner. 14.99 a month. Pretty bare bones but honestly you don't really need more than 1MB unless you're streaming or downloading while playing at the...

I don't have any issues connecting with the JP version and I haven't tried to use a VPN to connect to it. I assumed the softether would be the same for either case. I am using 2mbs down internet so...

If for whatever reason you do have to use VPN it is not the preferable connection to either server. At best I think you'll find it acceptable if you've not had to use one as of yet. That being said,...

I always thought it was a bit strange that they only have a two ships and a handfull of blocks per ship. Curious I took a peak at a map here to give a better picture of the SEA region.

Speaking on behalf of non die hared JP fans. everything I need to say is pretty much said here. http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221503


tldr; both versions have their strengths....

If it bugs you as much as me you can always play the SEA version first to get a feel of what the hell is going on a bit better. You play both versions back and fourth. You're not going to get to the...

I would use the torrent. Full 2mb a second internet vs the piddly 127k I get from the official client patcher and tweaker. After you get the client that way you can use the tweaker/client if you...

that's what I figured regarding the patch. I can fix that myself. I was just curious why my VPN was having trouble connecting to JP IPs.

I have Time Warner myself but my problem is a black screen after booting the game. Not having luck connecting to JP VPNs either though...strange.

Both options aren't what I would consider preferable right now but I think both have their redeeming qualities.

The Japanese version will require some moonrune puzzle regististraiton for the...

I knew this game was a different beast long before I downloaded it from the gameplay I seeing (more fast paced and waifuish as you mentioned). Honestly I wouldn't want a straight port of PSO1. ...

I've barely scratched the surface of either so the differences are a bit lost on me. From what I've played so far the only difference is cosmetic, content chapters withstanding of course. I believe...

well the topic title was first impressions. I honestly wasn't expecting much even with the patches since we're talking about a labor or love for a fan translation. I should of added in some of my...

I'm fine with Japan and Japanese culture. If I wasn't I definitely wouldn't have much interest in PSO translated or otherwise. My bias comes from the lack of translation. That's on me of course.
...

I didn't expect a 1/1 English translation to be sure and I did attempt to play with things and try to venture into the game but I didn't find it accessible as the SEA version. If you want to make a...

I did the core english, the large patch, and the story patch (new method). My main contentions were the tutorial pop ups (almost all of them were nipponese), gear descriptions, any kind of terminal...

I'm a bit late to party to be sure. My first impression when playing with the JP version with all the English patches was..."there's too much Nipponese in this Nippon game". I think dipping my toes...

I was searching for "Sega ID". I blame the gibbed search engine. In either case I still have to play till level 20 or so before either of us get some bonus.
