My fellow non japanese people! FORGET PSO 2!!!

It is okay. PSO2 is doomed to fail outside JP anyway.

You sound like one of those crazy preachers that stand in the middle of the street shouting "THE END IF NIGH!" top lel.

That's pretty much what this is. I have a hard time believing that Sega will ever release a PS title outside of Japan again. It's kinda sad, really.

[Shinamori]

I dunno, since like 2012 i been playing lots of Japanese-only title and never really bothered with the fact those game will never get english release.
Even if new PS game get released doesn't remotely mean PSO2 will instantly become obsolete.

The SEA version will. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

Don't care, don't matter. If like I like the game then I like the game, couldn't care less about comparison, etc. between games in a franchise.

PSO2 is almost 3 years old now and still going strong. Sounds like you're late to the party. I'm also a old school Dreamcast pso fan, but IMO PSU was actually the "terrible" pso. PSO2 is much better than PSU.

PSU had its ups and downs, but given Sega's track record with maintenance and updates of PS-series games OUTSIDE of Japan, which goes hand in hand with making promises we never see fulfilled like on PSO2 launch when western localization was announced.... I think its intelligent to stick with PSO2.

PSU was hella fun, but for me, the biggest kicker as to why I keep playing PSO2-JP is because it doesn't feel like abandonware like every western localized PS-game ends up feeling like. First it falls behind, then it gets forgotten, then it gets put down too soon (or not soon enough?)

Personally I enjoy PSO2. Then again I enjoyed PSU and most PSO fans I speak to loath both PSU and PSO2. Maybe people fear change? Who knows. All I know is I spent thousands of hours on DC and GC PSO before going on PSOBB private servers. I spent 3k hours on PSU before the servers shut down. I've not found as much passion for PSO2 as I wasted a lot on AC. In a similar fashion I ruined JP PSU with GC purchases wasting thousands of pounds on such nonsense.

So yes, I'd prefer a game where there was no subscription but also no micro transactions. I broke several private server accounts of PSOBB due to donating to get anything I wanted. I guess with most modern games getting easier and easier I got lazy and just poured money into getting whatever I wanted - subsequently breaking the game.

The most fun I had was on EU PC PSU because I worked so damn hard to earn what I found and it was such a fulfilling experience. unfortunately, when the servers shut down i also realised what a waste MMO's were and never have I managed to re-kindle my love for MMO's or the PS series.

I GOT THIS GUYS

PSU was bad and so is this topic.

Also, Nova is the bestest Phantasy Star Online.

Nova being a good game is questionable.....

Whatever the OP was on I think he needs a nap.
