Phantasy Star Online 2 Akihabara PC Game Festival Presentation 2

[becongeneral]

Its times like these that I feel like an asshole for not knowing Japanese, so I can play this the day it comes out... This is the second time I required a change of pants from pso2 videos...

[PrinceBrightstar]

@becongeneral I barely know any japanese but I was able to play the alpha fine. Don't let something like that stop you. Really it's the numbers that are more important and with a translation guide it's easy to figure those out.

[becongeneral]

@PrinceBrightstar Yea ive played quite a few Japanese RPG maker type games, its not difficult to find out what does what, it just bugs me not knowing what is going on or having to save every 30 minutes when a multiple choice question comes up and pick every option to get the desired outcome. Just a personal preference is all. but you will see me playing it whether or not it comes to America, even if I need to hire a translator...

[xlxTorokeruxlx]

for those who want to skip a majority of the waiting 3:03

I really hope this comes out in NA =/ PS isn't getting the attention it deserves on this continent.

[RipleySawzen]

Phantasy Star needs a big blockbuster title that's not a flop like PSU was. I hope PSO2 can excel where it's predecessor did and also carry over the few things PSU had to offer over PSO.

[PrinceBrightstar]

They haven't said anything specific however I'm tempted to say it'll either expand one of the previous series (Algol, Ragol, Gurhal) or it'll focus on a more story driven end of the new Arks we're going to come to know since PSO2 won't include an offline mode to tell it's backstory this time like PSU did.

[HipHopSTK]

PSO for GC literally one of the best games I've played.. kinda lonely sometimes in the ruins for 2hrs.. but worth it. This game will be a huge success when it cones out.. ppl still play PSU on Xbox. And everyone will sstart playing again on a new game

[HipHopSTK]

@koopa786 I wouldnt call PSU a failure.. I played on Xbox 360 for like 2 years. Servers were always full

[PickThatFence]

So... just noticed that at 8:57 there are some controls listed: WASD, Ctrl + A, etc... Among them are L1 and R1...

Does this mean that PSO2 will see a PS3 (or maybe even a PS2) release?

[PickThatFence]

@PickThatFence Scratch that, at 15:53 there are some 360 controller buttons shown... Maybe they're just mapping 360 buttons so you can use a 360 controller with your PC.

Or maybe they're releasing a 360 build. Who knows.

[PrinceBrightstar]

@PickThatFence Sega has stated that this will be a PC release only and console gamers will get a different game.

[PickThatFence]

@PrinceBrightstar Do we know anything about how different? Same game different control maps? Or something else entirely? Also: has there been any word recently regarding a US release?

[souleater271]

man i wish i knew what they were saying

[StudioRamenCat]

From DC to GC to PC I find myself sayin ... I just can't wait. :3

[Bleeperblopper497]

I just hope my PC is good enough for this game, oh god please let this game run good enough for my PC.

[MysticNessly]

Oh no, please don't tell me a mouse is required to navigate menus!!

[HaLoKlD97]

I like how the presentation is semi-enthousiastic, but the crowd is not. Same goes for the intense countdown. xD

[koopa786]

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Gamecube For Life....

this wont be a touch on it never will and this wont be released outside japan and if it does by a miracle it will be for PC only sadly.. not for PS3 or Xbox 360 like that failure of a game PSO Universe was,...

[facelessred]

@koopa786 sorry.. but its fine if it isnt on the consoles but it wont be like PSO universe at all..

[valgalder]

Why not just release this game universally.. IE, Japanese and English together if they don't want to risk formally releasing this in the States?

[realsoundtracks]

Holy shit... So much options to create a character!!!

Don't forget europe!

[facelessred]

@realsoundtracks "So much options" ?

[bemaniac360]

good grief this needs to be usa or eu.

[LousyMonitor]

Just keep Praying we get it in full, over in EU and US.

A lot of people cannot wait. =]

[Alastorm009]

welcom a new world, adventure, life

[RagingKnight]

It seems they have fixed the excessive breast jiggling, or at least in the character creation. Used to be just turning the character around would make them jiggle.

[LeethLee1]

@RagingKnight I'm so glad they took it out, I get the culture there for it but PSO is just totally not that type of game XD
