Hype and no US version in sight?

[shiink]

Just play on the Japanese servers. I don't use any translations, but I do know that not everyone is skilled at nihongo. I must be weird thinking that seeing the game in japanese just feels more natural and "vanilla" to me. Besides there are plenty of people who are helping to make legitimate resources available to us so that we can all enjoy the game. Not to mention that the US version is always lagging behind.

Even at the lowest settings, I've still been noticing some frame rate issues in the benchmark thing. Nothing too horrible-looking but it's still worth maintaining.

The CBT ran a good deal smoother on my laptop compared the benchmark tester, you might even be able to turn that slider up a notch or 2 when OBT launches+^_^+

honestly pso2 runs at max settings on my laptop 30-29 framerate "wich is like the minimum decent framerate" but ill probbly play in lower settings so my lappie dosent burst into flames "summer isnt good for hot chips" i just use max settings for screens anyway.

seems abit eairly to be worried about this
threads like this seem to be host to rummors giving false hope and whatnot

Lagging behind? The US version is usualy a archaeological object freshly found out of a dryed out egg. Game buisness is incredible short living and new stuff hype is insane, not even a Apple machine is having more of "new hype-ship". Thats the reason why Microsoft even dare to treat game developers in a harsh manner when it comes to the release of new games. They do strictly demand to release the games at the same time on XBox such as on any other system else there will be a penalty. Time is a serious matter, those who are faster are always at advantage. Surely, for Sega putting the needs of "rest of the world" lower than the need of "japanese" can break theyr bones, because Japan is a pretty much saturated market while the markets outside are growing. Nowadays the US market for example at the newest FF franchise (FF13 and such) is bigger than the japanese market, thats still without EU and other market shares.

I don't understand why people are all about a US release?!

People should just wish for them to have a english, or jp option..It's not that big of a deal, and if they don't, then someone will just make an english translator, it's not like it really matters.

Agreed. There's a language option built-in already, though not usable yet. I'm sure the JP Client will get an official translation from Sega, that or we'll have an English patch before then.

Either way, I'm sticking with the JP servers, as they'll be up longer and get more updates.

I'm still pulling for one big (dysfunctional) server family. Not so naive with them having language options and all....but please, for the love of cheese, Sega, give me the option to play with Japanese VO and English text, please please please?

...and go through Steam, I'll support you more. D:

[xenokai]

Don't forget, the game DOES have a language option. Even if we don't get US servers/the US servers suck/they shut down early, it's still possible that the Japanese game may still have an English option.

PSO for dc and GC there servers stayed up for a long time, server were turned off on psu early because the game wasnt that great and wasnt enough people playing to warrant keeping it going.
