Yes the delay sucks i admit that but just from looking at mamak who have a list of changes i think the extra month will be a good thing when it comes to the game.

List of changes:

Trial bugs & requested improvements

Bugs

- Androids actually receive damage from a photon blast
- The enemy Garantz in VR spaceship actually freezes up from time to time.
- In multiplayer mode, enemies have been known to die without reason hitting the border / wall of the screen.
- Incorrect welcome message displayed by Weapon shopkeeper
- Item name is displayed in grey.

Known changes from DC PSOv2

- Shock will not limit itself to just androids, it will affect all character class. Players will need to raise their resistance to thunder to decrease the risk of being shocked paralyzed.
- The level of Anti now directly affects the types of ailments you can cure from a character class. Eg. curing paralyzation, poison etc etc.
- You will not be able to copy your guild card file in a multiplayer environment. (??)
- Ultimate mode will be rebalanced.

Requested improvements

- New city or new sections & graphics added to existing Pioneer 2 city (changes confirmed)
- Non-intelligent dictionary (?)
- Androids place traps into the custom buttons (shortcut)
- The X button can be used for shortcuts as well
- Chatting is possible during item exchange
- Browser will not be able to go other Homepages (??)
- Both VR Santuary & VR Spaceship will have specific bosses as well
- More stages into Episode 2

I have actually had that "ennemies dying by themselves when hitting border on screen" happen a few times in V2".I am not importing anyway,but i hope this doesn't mean the North American version will be delayed as well.

If they actually add all the requested improvements in the Gamecube Japanese game,then i say the one month delay is worth it,although at this point,if they haven't worked on this yet,i doubt they can add new Bosses in time.

delay in japan may indicate delay in USA and that will definitely indicate a delay in EU, awww, maybe the rumor that PSO-E1&2 hits europe in 2003 is true.........

anyone else see a patern forming? first it was 2 month delay for usa, then for v2 it was like a 4-5 month delay, with any logic, we won't get it until X-mas 2003. that is unless Nintendo realizes the game is the same and all they have to do is slap together a few images and put it in stores forgetting the fact that the games have the japan regional code on them. (ok that's just me barking back at square that one time.)

Actually EBgames.com emailed me telling me that PSO E1&E2 new release date for US is 10/29/02 so everyone gets a delay

If they only delay the US one by that much (half a month) I'll be happy it's fixed up, and since a bunch of games come out between now and then I think I will survive the longer wait... now I just need money for the games.

I'd say the delay has more to do with the Gameshark releasing on August 16th than anything else. Just my cynical thoughs on the matter.

I noticed a pattern of each time Sonic Team would delay PSO to one month after Gameshark's release, Interact would delay the Gameshark a month after PSO's release. It's quite entertaining, really.

I wouldn't be surprised if Interact delays Gameshark to October. Wouldn't be the first time it's delayed, seeing how it should have released back in April. And I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic Team turned around and made yet another delay. Wheeee.

Of course, I'm probably just pulling this out of nowhere. Again though, just my cynicism influencing things again.

I want to know if it set in stone that in the final game your weapons won't drop and just money...If so, that will stop lots of thieves

I just checked with NCSX and the ASCII Keyboard/Pad monstrosity will also be delayed because "no other game utilizes it". Well I guess this was kinda obvious but I thought i'd post it none the less. They thanked me for checking with them, i'm a speshial guy!
