Phantasy Star Online 2 Open Beta Starts June 21st

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?

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

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.

Where do I download the bloody client?
Edit: nvm, it's here: http://pso2.jp/players/download/

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.

the pre-open beta started on June 15th and ended on June 16th.The characters are wiped anyways.

sorry to say this, but your not understanding my inquiry. heh. what i was asking was related to the Character Creation Demo/benchmark that came out a while back. i read somewhere that the characters created on there could be saved, and the data could be transferred over to one of the betas. Im not sure which one but that Is beside the point now. i wanted to see if that same thing could be done for the OPEN BETA when it comes out. somebody had already answered me this question, so im gonna try it out when the OPEN BETA comes out. i was already aware of the character swipe for the PRE-OPEN Beta, i played both days. :P

Geist Zero, you replied to the wrong spot :P The dude above your recent comment was replying to Hax3120

Well, isn't that interesting. ha, wow. still trying to get use to this reply thing i guess. no biggy, i apologize for any misunderstanding. :P although i still would like some more input on my topic.

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

I forgive you.

do race types is this game affect what jobs are best to use? for example, are newmens better as forces compared to rangers or hunters. are castes better as ranges compared to forces or hunters. if so does that mean that humans are best when played as a hunter? oh and sorry if that is not what the job names are, im just trying to get an idea on what race im going to be.

That's a good question...looking forward to this too.

Do you need to be signed up for the PSO2 news letter to get the open beta? I heard you needed to be. Or can you just have a Sega ID and go download it when its out?

I played in the Pre-OBT and my god, I am so ready for this game. Need a NA release or that English patch soon. Playing in Japanese was a blast, so I can imagine when it's available in English I'm going to flip my shit.

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.

Have they announced an exact time for the start of Open Beta? As in hours and such? Will probably be really early Thursday before morning, possibly even Wednesday night?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out but now it's giving me problems. All of sudden its saying that the files does not exist to allow permission to execute the application. ._.

I got this info from this site -- http://bumped.org/psublog/ --- it also has a very detailed and nice guide for just about everything you may need to know.
