FYI People, you CAN link PSO2 accounts to US PSN accounts!

*Before anything, I'm going to point out I did this with the Vita Special Package cartridge. I do NOT know if this works with the standard release so bear with me.*
To all CLOSED BETA PLAYERS, your accounts were unlinked from that PSN ID after the Beta ended in case you weren't aware. This means you CAN relink to a US account.

Not much to say about this, but using the cartridge from the Vita Special Package and my US PSN ID, I was able to start up the game and log into the ship select area. Clearly maintenance is going on, BUT I was able to select a ship and log in for it to give me the server maintenance message.

If you think I'm BSing you, go try to login into PSO2 on your PC right now. Use the right password for your account and then the wrong one. You'll notice that the messages are very different, even if you don't speak Japanese.

Basically I was very surprised to see this and thought I'd let people know

Edit: I will say if DLC ever comes out on the JP PSN, this may make it difficult to use it, but that's not very likely as far as I can tell. It is worth noting though.

Nice.

Man, and during CBT I linked my JP PSN to my SegaID....

Doesn't matter, it disconnected all CBT accounts from their respective PSNs

WOO! When I'm back home next week my two copies will be waiting for me! Thanks for the update, guess I'm not downloading! This is exciting!

They announced that all accounts were unlinked after the CBT how did you miss that?

Good to know I suppose, I can play on either.

I wonder what other benefit this might bring (aside the memory card swiping issue)... Maybe I should hold my horses a bit.

It was before they sent out the codes for the CBT.

Anyway, early congratulations.

That's nice and all but I wonder how we'd go about this if we're not buying the game. VITA is funny about software access and unless I'm mistaken there's no way to D/L the game without a Japanese PSN ID.
