***** nostalgia levels overflowing!!! When I had my Dreamcast PSO was the first online game I had ever played! It was so amazing! My mum use to rage at me playing it because we had 56k and you couldn't use the internet and phone at the same time back then, and it was also like pay per minute type tariffs!

God, so awesome!

I also remember the phone bills when they came in :eek:

B00B slider?!? HELL YES!!!

My god it sure does look action packed, especially now with this number of players at once. I would still be perfectly happy with the usual 4, but 12......?

I swear this trailer is intentionally rolling on the nostalgia of of the awesome original of the first game. Showing a dragon boss at the end of this takes me back to 2001 again.

I never played PSO but i did play PSU and im very excited for this. I just hope that it does come out in english as well.

Could be interesting. I played the GC version although it got boring in SP, but could be a laugh online.

Loving the new RAcaseal design. And the way you can select your skills as you level up.

It looks really awesome from the new trailer. Gonna have to get a new PC just for this one I think. :cool:

Oh and...

B00B slider?!? HELL YES!!!

Open beta starts at the end of the month.

Was anyone lucky enough to get in the closed beta?

Nope, not that I would have had the chance to play it anyway.

Just looked on PSO world and the article on the front page calls it a pre open beta, not entirely sure what the difference is.

Pre entry registration (apparently)

Can anyone who can read japanese tell me which link to click on to sign up for this ?

Friend gave me a code on the last day, but I couldn't get on it time :/

bemaniac · 7 Jun 2012 at 08:58

yeah if anyone could post a guide on how to get thru the signup process that would be amazing

BigChief · 7 Jun 2012 at 09:11

Just seen this thread as it's popped back to the top. I'm really excited about this. Played a little PSO back in the day, but this looks like it could be on to a winner.

Going to have a look at the min requirements as my fiancee is looking for something to play but her laptop is a little behind the times.

An almost hour long quick look of the open Japanese beta by GiantBomb.

Sega better ****ing bring this game to the West!

Omaeka · 27 Jun 2012 at 18:51

To all who register during the above-mentioned new SEGA ID, who went to register the use of "Phantasy Star Online 2", presents a single item "crappie mini doll"

I love the Japoreeze.

Not sure if you guys have seen this or not. Looks pretty cool.

Anyone catch GiantBomb's TNT earlier where they played this game?

Awesome start with the dancing to get things off.

pauLAW · 7 Jul 2012 at 17:14

Guys can someone shed some light on what's actually going on with this game?

I cant see NOTHING that says we are going to have the game ever released in the UK and to be honest its looking like it might not even come out of Japan at all?

My understanding is that the game came out in Japan on 4th July and that we have no news at all about a US or UK release?

I hope I have just missed some information, can anyone let me know whats going on.... Surely your not all talking about playing the game on the JAP servers....it will be terrible! Only news about UK I have found is regarding the VITA release for next year.

Phatjayunoi · 7 Jul 2012 at 17:47

You practically answered most of your own question there.

That's just about it.

We still don't know if this game will get a Western release but there are some subtle hints at it possibly in the future.

Other than the language barrier, no it wont't be terrible unless you have incredibly crappy Internet.

Thanks for the response but on this.... The language barrier is a big deal when you need to be able to see what items your collecting/buying/using.

Not impressed with SEGA here, this game has to come out

If I see another red box I will literally hyperventilate.
