Vita version - release date and a "Special Package"

[Keii]

From siliconera:

Sega is bringing Phantasy Star Online 2 to PlayStation Vita and like the PC version it’s free. Vita and PC players are in the same virtual world. You can even play with your PC character on the Vita and keep any items you earned since Phantasy Star Online 2 uses a shared server.

While the game is free, Sega also plans on selling Phantasy Star Online 2 in stores as a special edition. This bundle includes:

Eight costumes (two for each race) from Phantasy Star Portable 2.
Clad Cannon (launcher), Clad 6 (rod), and Wing Spada (sword) weapons from Phantasy Star Portable 2.
A Mag evolution device
Premium Set for 30 days
Fun 1000 ticket
Decorative Little Wing Stickers
A music disk with songs from Phantasy Star Portable and Portable 2.

The Phantasy Star Online 2 Special Package will cost 5229 yen ($64). The free version and special package will be available on February 28, 2013.

Lock if old.

Well, time to start looking for a job.

Depending on how much that is I might buy it, honestly.

I'm talking, like, 30 bucks. Which I doubt it will be.

Judging by the Japanese price, it will probably cost a bit less than your usual Vita game (since those are around 6000-7000 yen).

So... considering that their goal was and still is to make the game cross compatible across PC and Vita I'm assuming you'd use the same account for both.

What's to keep me from buying this and then just using all the swag on the PC version?

[gigawuts]

Nothing probably, and I would imagine they did that intentionally so they can sell copies to people who don't even have vitas.

Oh ho. I never did get the box set for the PC version but this is something I will probably dig getting. Be great if I'm somewhere with no computer but can still access the internet on my Vita.

Question. Is it possible to get around the region lock for vita(If there is one, i dont know) to be able to get this work on a us vita. Cause I could convince a friend to play if so?

Thanks Sega!
Looks like I'll have Premium once in my PSO2 life.
I planned on buying this since day 1.
I didn't even know they were planning on making one free and one paid.

I would buy it even if it was $100.

I don't even have a Vita, and probably never will, and I'm contemplating buying this just for the Rosentriem code. I must fucking have that outfit.
