Default Interview with Satoshi Sakai regarding PSO2 future and US version. - 07-13-2012, 12:42 AM

The game news website 4gamer.net features today a very very long interview with the PSO2 main staff about how the project started, the reason why they decided to make a multiplatform game and many other interesting bits of information about upcoming updates.

However on the last page of the interview they talk about the release of the game in western markets and how they got shocked when they noticed that people really really wanted PSO2 to be localized to the english, they even mention the translation patch works made to the character creator and the game during previous betas and they couln't beleive the game was translated almost entirely in such short amount of time.

Therefore they mentioned also that same as happened with PSOBB and PSU the Japanese servers will be completely separated from the US/EU ones due to laws of each country, censorship issues, etc.

It's very unfortunate they decided this as I know many people here including myself was hoping for a true global PSO like the old ones from the dreamcast and the gamecube.


This is the original link to the 2nd page of the interview:

And if you are interested in the full one this is the link to the beginning of it:

So that confirms it, then? No global servers?

If so, good luck to those of us rolling characters in the NA version of the game. Sega of America's going to treat us reeeaaal nice, I'm sure.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG

Also for those who have actually read the entire interview, is there any mention about PvP in upcoming updates or a Korean Release?

Nothing about pvp but they mention that they would like to show the game in the upcoming korean mmorpg convention G-Star in the future.
