By Ryna at 06/16/2012 - 5:26pm

It was announced today that the Open Beta for the Japanese version of Phantasy Star Online 2 will start on June 21st. Any characters created or progress earned during the Open Beta will carry over to the official service. All Pre-Open Beta data will be wiped for the Open Beta test.

You can discuss this news in our Phantasy Star Online 2 forum.

awesomeness :D So it will be this thursday.sweet, off on a summerbreak, will definately be on pso2 nonstop :p Also, i heard Ship 2 will be like non speaking Japanes players(pso-world) base?:o If so, then i'll be joining in on that ship :DHope to see you guys :D

by Kenrokuen on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 5:59pm

I'd like to join you in some quests, it will be easier than speaking with japanese players (even though I'm french), don't know how I'll name my character thought ^^

by StepsonuTM on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:02pm

Yeah we should Totally Play sometime, make it easier :)& Im not sure if Making your Name with English Letters should be in Caution :o since this will be my first beta on pso2.But if I know for a fact my name will be Stepsonu or StepsonuTM , so just Add me :D& we can play, still havent decide what race to be :/ haha

by Vintasticvin on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 7:44pm

Yeah, ship two is the rumored base of operations for the PSO-W community, Ship 2, Block 20 and 21 and onwards. More than likely I'll be comming for initial release.

by Kaiser4356 on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:05pm

You can name your character as you like. I have seen multiple people have had english named characters on both alpha and betas. Never stopped them from playin. I look forward to seein every one on ship 2 coming 21st. PSO Forever.

by oifjustus on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:17pm

Loving the character transfer! All the more reason to get ballz deep inside some boomas for loots!

by Graven on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:19pm

I know we should go step by step, but, how much time could we expect between the open-beta and the oficial release? Asking that because, i believe that, only after they fully release in Japan, we can start asking about a possible western localization. I loved this game, want to stick with it, but, playing in japanese is just discouraging. I know there are already some unoficial english patches over the internet, but it's still not the same...

by Geonizer/Iceman on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 6:24am

There won't be a western release, there will just be the japanese one. The language patches are for those players willing to learn a little of the menus, so they can play and enjoy the free to play game we're all getting.

by Graven on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 7:43am

Why you say that? They are releasing the game for PC and VITA, VITA sales on Japan are really low and the "PC plataform" isn't too sucessful there either. I think that, there is a good chance.

by PerfectV on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 6:59am

I think there is a strong chance this gets a western release simply because they are shutting down the PSU servers. Numbers on PSU have been low for a while. They probably want to devote those resources to PSO2 in North America.

by Geonizer/Iceman on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 4:33pm

Just because the U.S. servers for xbox are closing, it has nothing to do with the opening of western release. If none of you have seen that the jp pc psu servers are still gonna be running, why would you think that they would make another release? The vita has nothing to do with connecting thru the psn servers, so stop thinking it will happen. Even the official site states it has hopes of merging whatever vita servers they"ll be creating with the jp pc servers. If you've done the research, like many of the xbox players are now doing, Sega will only cater mostly to its japanese audience. The consoles didn't favor well with them and most of the apple products won't see the full game.

by Rootsuki on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 3:03am

I wouldn't dismiss a western release, nor would I count on there being one, but as far as I know, sega has not announced there will absolutely be no western release, just that there is not one. I would hope that there is, but then again i'm not worried. They can always turn a new leaf since apparently pso2's fanbase is steadily growing.

by PerfectV on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 6:25pm

Sega has very limited resources in North America as opposed to Japan. Shutting down the servers here signals that they are going to devote those resources to something else. I suspect that it is PSO2. If you have a better idea as to what it is I would love to hear it. And as far as the consoles not favoring Sega who are you talking to cause I never said anything about consoles or Mac.

by Akaimizu on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:47pm

Lovely. Looks like they are getting things rolling with this quickly. The servers really held up quite well during the Pre-open, and I was impressed with their performance even for us across the ocean. Guess Sonic Team was happy with it, too.

by NitroPenguinz on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 6:48pm

oh well thats cool. When we participate in the beta we get all our progress transferred so we dont have all our data erased for the 4th time. =]. I guess I'll meet you all on ship 2. My name, btw, will be NitroPenguin, which will be my main character. All others will have "nitro" for sure. Although, how long will this beta last? I'm on summer break but i want to know what the hours are and how long we will be able to play. I do say many of the features so far have been great. I REALLY love the multiparty areas. Theres like 12 people going around killing monsters and its so cool. Hopefully they have an option for English, or at least stop banning people if they have the patch(which is the current situation, although not their fault, apparently the game senses it and recognizes it as a hack). So yea, the game looks good. Cant wait to eventually play it when it is complete. Maybe even on English servers. It'll be cool. So yea see you all on Ship 2.

by PerfectV on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 7:33pm

Well I've been visiting these forums for years now but i never registered. Thanks to all the people that deliver such good info on Phantasy Star. I'll see all of you on ship two!!! In game name: PerfectV

by Kaiser4356 on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 8:48pm

So...where did all this transfer stuff come from. I read from the updates that all the data from pre-beta is not gona be carried over. Every one will be restarting from scratch.

by Rootsuki on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 10:03pm

I read that too. It seems when the open-beta is out everyone will start over. Kind of a bummer, but I just can't wait to play again!

by cowgoboom18 on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 10:30pm

the downlaoder for the beta can someone link it please

by Rootsuki on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 12:08am

Looking for this? http://pso2.jp/players/download/

by cowgoboom18 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:35am

thank u im ready to go dowladed and everything hopping this work so i can make my toon and go

by oifjustus on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 10:58pm

They are saying data from the OPEN beta will be transferred to actual game.

by Geonizer/Iceman on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 6:26am

All data existing from the open beta will transfer into the actual game, that potentially will be at the end of summer.

by AdrainShepard on Sat, 06/16/2012 - 10:44pm

I might go sign up for the open beta.If the sign up is still open. :)

by bradsta6508 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 12:55am

2 days of registration left, I believe.

by NitroPenguinz on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 9:11am

its funny, because i made a new Sega ID and signed up for the beta while the pre-open beta was going on. I dont think it matters when you sign up, its if you sign up.

by Rizuki090 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 1:12am

I was also wondering were can I sign up for the open beta as well. I used to play PSOBB and PSO+ and when I heared about the new PSO2 I just had to be here for it! If anyone can plz post the link to the sign in for the open beta and directions to signing up (can't read japanese yet) can't wait to meet new people and play this awesome game XD!!! Online Name: Rizu07

by Rootsuki on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 1:15am

https://iway.isao.net/sega/mail_in.cgi?siteno= You are either gona need chrome or look up a guide.

by Rizuki090 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 1:19am

Dude ur AWESOME!!!!

by Rootsuki on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 5:56am

No problem at all.^^

by KiroMatic on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:28pm

after you sign up are you supposed to get an Email (other then the confirmation Email) telling you that you're able to join or something or do you just type in your SEGA ID when you start up the Beta Client and and be good to go?

by Rootsuki on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 1:52am

Once you have applied your info, the site should take you to a list of games to register for. Register for Pso2, and you should get an email that should say Pso2 in parenthesis. That means you are good to go. Just start up the beta, type in your sega id and password(when the servers are up of course) and you are good.

by Destis on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 7:36pm

You are right, I just signed up and it did as you stated. Can't wait. :D

by Rootsuki on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 1:06am

Same here^^

by lugiamaster92 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 4:41am

I can't wait for this to start up. I still have two copies of PSO for GCN and it still blows my mind. After seeing the trailer for this, I can officially say this game blows my freaking mind. I've been waiting for this for years and I can't believe it's actually happening. I'll see you all on the 21st! =D

by cqft4571 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 5:58am

hey everyone I played the pro-open beta so am i all set for the open beta?

by puppetstrings on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 7:04am

Gaaaah can't wait! Nearly peeing my pants XD hopefully someone releases some sort of patch so we can better know the game though.

by AdrainShepard on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 7:24am

Guss what I signed up. :)

by Rizuki090 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 8:46am

HOW O.O!!!

by Chibi Cast Master on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 9:01am

if you use google chrome it can auto translate the page to English i use fire fox but to read the page i just downloaded chrome plus not all of it will translate because of it being a image

by xTEEZEx on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:46am

lol i did it the hard way i used chrome too it didnt translate so i got lucky by guessing

by xTEEZEx on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:53am

nvm i figured it out lol

by Rootsuki on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:52am

http://bumped.org/psublog/phantasy-star-online-2-pre-open-beta-registration-guide/ It says pre-open beta, but this still applies to the open beta. Hope it helps. Oh and make sure once you finish the sign up to register for pso2, I dont think it mentions that, but you shouldn't miss it.

by Kaiser4356 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 1:42pm

It does if you go through registration instructions while you do registration which is right beneath it if i recall.

by Azirai on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 2:04pm

I signed up like the tutorial said, what do I do now? Do I have to find a link to download it or do I get E-mailed a link to a download?

by Kaiser4356 on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 5:16pm

Here is a link to download page of PSO2 use chrome to read it: http://pso2.jp/players/download/

by Geist Zero on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 8:04pm

Hey guys, if anyone can please answer this question id greatly appreciate it. i wanted to know; is it going to be possible to transfer my character data from the creation demo to the open beta? if anyone can answer that with the correct confirmed response, please let me know. Thanks Guys!

by Jjub on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 8:10pm

I created a few characters on the Character Creator Demo and all of them appeared when I played the Pre-Open Beta. You just have to find the load option when you create a character on it. It requires that you start to make a new character first like Race/Gender, then Class. Scroll down when you are set to customize to load a pre-made character. It should work the same way in the Open Beta on the 21st :D

by Geist Zero on Sun, 06/17/2012 - 10:00pm

That sounds just about right. well thank you very much. i needed to know. i made a character on the creation demo that i really liked and saved the data in my document files. i wanted to know if i could transfer that data to the open beta. so yeah thx for the info. ill give it a try and see if it works out for me when the open beta is out thursday.

by Hax3120 on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 1:16am

I couldn't even connect in the Pre-Open beta.. Oh well, i hope i can in Open Beta.
