PSO2 on west XBOX (and PC too, apparently?) confirmed on Microsoft E3

[Zaix]

I'd really given up on any thing coming west. I played several hundred hours back in the first year or 2 , but haven't played much since.

I'm definitely going to play the Xbox version, since I have several friends that I could never convince to play the jp PC version, and we are all very much looking forward to it

as someone with multiple consoles... that's really a non-issue
in another subject - people foreign to the game are concerned about how microtransactions are being implemented to the game
are we expecting the same arks cash system, same items? depending on how they're handling the EU situation, would that affect NA release?
i'm going on the assumption that, at worst case, we have totally separate servers so they can afford to segregate these issues, anyway.

Console of choice doesn't mean that you only have 1 console, it just means that you play with that console the most often. As for the loot box system, already covered that here: http://www.pso-world.com/forums/show...47#post3465247

Personally, I think they could keep AC but just sell the items instead of making them lotteries.

I had that same problem. The one main friend I play games with is familiar with the Phantasy Star name but never really played the games. He was gonna hop on until he found out it was the japanese server, even with translations. There are probably a shit ton more people like that than not, so this isn't the waste some people are trying to describe it as.

This game really isn't that much better, simple things like trading is off limits to those who don't fork up the cash, and selling items unless you go through a painful process just to get a shop ticket. it's just jps seems to be more forgiving on being exploited, This game has plenty of whales who happily toss cash at sega to sit in lobby afk to show what they spent all that money on.

The only credit i can give this game compared to other F2P trash is that it's tolorable to play without spending anything, provided you aren't weak willed.

right, i'm aware

let me rephrase

the press release mentions microtransactions that will "aid in quests" - people who don't play the game are taking that as the cash shop having somehow different things that the current one doesn't have. from my perspective it's referencing RDRs, cosmo atomizers, half dolls and the like
but do you think they may alter the cash shop offerings with new/removed items specific to the NA version?

thats the part we dont know if they'll actually do that or not, they could which they shouldnt but who knows

as long as they dont do the costume bonus stuff then i guess we're cool

That would defeat the purpose of localiz... Uh nevermind

I don't think people will ever shut up.
