PSO2 Anime coming to North America

[ArcaneTechs]

At least we can rest assured knowing that Sega is using the profits from the anime to fund the development of the Wii U version.

you mean the NX (dammit joozek)

Trust me. You guy will not want it to IP ban whole continent like they did on sea for having it own server.

If the anime does indeed get broadcast here it might actually be a good way for sega to gauge how popular the game might be. Yes I am not gonna get my hopes up been playing on JP servers since episode 1 so not gonna go anywhere. But this gives the west exposure to the game through the anime it might give people that might have never even known about it incentive to want to play.

Or maybe there will be idiots like those who are like
"THIS ISN'T THE PHANTASY STAR I USED TO LOVE WHAT IS THIS SHIIEEEEEETTT!!!!!"
and won't join the game at all even though they thought about it. Which is good for us, in my opinion.

Even if so, still got VPN, I'm sure a mere IP ban will not stop any ppl who is dedicated enough.

If 816 raises? Well, you could always start over, since many says that its easy to cap in a few days/weeks.

You will get some additional latency, it's almost not noticeable but still.
Also, when banned think about all the accessory, hairstyle, costumes, mag evo, banks, rares and stones that lost.
It'll be huge bummer, especially for whose already create and using their ID for over 3 years+.
Starting from beginning are easy, but starting over are harder due to burden of anything they lost.

Sega is doing everyone a favor by not releasing the game in the west because all those collabs would be replaced by boring junk that no one wants to buy lol

This is why I end up turning to the eastern version of mmos these days.

In fact i'm wondering if SEGA is releasing the anime in NA and not the game, to get that exact answer from NA players so they forget definitly about the possibility of the game coming to NA. I mean, come on guys, it's litterally so clear this anime is what NA players doesn't want to see for PSO2 that it looks like it's getting localized to purposely being a failure so SEGA can say : "After seeing the very bad results/comments about the anime, it confirms we were right about keeping this game in Japan and not releasing it outside"

Baseless assumption and something they wouldn't do because we're not crappy SEA. Also, JP wasn't during PSU life time either so theres that

Literally the hope I wanted to crush so people dont post about stupid possibilities like this over and over every other day/week

See above response but still a dumb way on Sega's part to gauge interest for a game through an anime a lot of people probably wont watch (or at least everyone will act super retarded by pretending to not like it)

I just wish Sega of Japan had some self awareness and if not for Bayonetta they would be dead in the water.

You mean the IP they let nintendo have?

Yeah that one. Why does Sega of Japan keep shooting itself in the foot?
