Installing the Japanese Version of Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus (required)
Before this Guide, I would like to mention, you may download, and play this game for free, while having it be legal! SEGA themselves put the Links on their site, as well as allow you to use their servers... With some downsides.
You cannot do the following:
- Use your Player Room
- Trade with other Players
- Pick up items dropping by other Players
- Do special Quests
If I missed anything, please inform me, for the sake of others using this guide!
If a text/image based guide isn't for you, check out cristfc's Thread showing a YouTube video of the same process.

This Game Client was downloaded, and Screenshotted via Windows XP Media Center Edition. Though I have also installed the game on Windows Vista Home, and Windows 7. If you have any other problems using a different operating system, I may not be able to help you. Regardless, please ask! I will try my best.
Downloading the Game Client (Free):
1: Finding the game files.
You can find these at http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/downl.../httpdownload/
Spoiler!
At the bottom of the page, there will be four links, you will need to download all four of theses. They will consist of:
- setup.exe (503KB)
- setup-1a.bin (2,050,285KB)
- setup-1b.bin (2,050,782KB)
- setup-2a.bin (1,245,877KB)
Once all four are downloaded, run setup.exe
Note: The middle button, in the bottom right, will be your next button for this install Wizard.
You will see this window:
Spoiler!
Then this, which is just a Terms of Agreement message. Click the top check-circle, basically saying "Yes, I have read this."
Spoiler!
Next is this window, which is asking you where you want to save the files.
Spoiler!
And again.
Spoiler!
Being as I'm not a master of Japanese, I just assume this one is asking if you would like to make a shortcut on your desktop.
Spoiler!
Another "click the next button" screen
Spoiler!
Then it will begin installing
Spoiler!
After installing, you will most likely be asked to install an older version of DirectX, this is required to play. So go through this install Wizard.
It's in English, so it should be self-explanatory.
After that you should be given a "Finish" type window on the installer for PSU:
Spoiler!
Then another window to hit next on.
Spoiler!
Then you're good to go!
Hope this guide helped, if you're having any trouble, let me know!
