    Default Free is good. Also, since

    Free is good. Also, since it's coming out for iOS, I might not need to upgrade to Vita when that comes out. Dunno about controls on iOS, though... Won't know until I try.
    Edit:
    Oops, after checking the forum, I shoulda known it was too good to be true... Of course, controls would be really difficult or impossible for such a complex game on a tiny touch screen. MAYBE iPad would be better than iPhone, but that's still pushing it. I'll be getting a Vita eventually, but at least I don't have to buy the game.

    Default Wow, I never would have

    Wow, I never would have thought Sega would make PSO2 a F2P title and I didn't expect there be iOS and Android versions of the game.
    Sega are going all out with this game. o.o !
    I play PSP2 and PSOBB, feel free to message me if you want to play with me!

    Default Exactly how popular are

    Exactly how popular are Android and iOS in Japan? It was my impression that Japanese cellphone technology was vastly superior to ours, could this be an inclination of a Western release?

    Default Noo not F2P. Damn it they

    Noo not F2P. Damn it they absorbed the korean style. Means a ton of minor updates that hinder gaming flow, cash shops galore, and hackers 24/7. I mean all this on different platforms means multiple ways for people to destroy your hard work. Man i was totally willing to pay monthly for this. Now im up and down...

    Default How exactly will being F2P

    How exactly will being F2P mean there'll be lot's of hacking? If you're judging this on Korean MMO's, none of which were made by Sega how can you compare this in any way to PSO2?

    Default F2P = Awesome

    So, free-to-play, oh wow, maybe that is the business model they need to go with X3 actually, I'm REALLY sure that it will make a huge difference, and probably for the better. Can't wait! XD

    Default This is definitely a

    This is definitely a shocker, but I find it to be a reasonable decision as it is quite fitting for the way Sega runs their online PS titles.
