It's difficult. I have things in my storage some pricey costumes, lvl 90 chars, * 15's and about 6000 hours. I would hate to lose all that progress if Sega decided they want to region lock JP Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta servers because they're westernizing PSO2, rather than move over advancement over the NA servers. I can not really imagine what the player shop is going to be like also. This will either work fine, or honestly be a shot in the foot.Sega might eventually have an excuse to rid us baka gaijins off their variant to a Westernized MMO version of PSO2 that will expunge our existing advancement and probably have level skips and a financial purchase for 15*s. Call me paranoid but I'm terrified of the launch more than pleased.
To those on the record saying an email was sent About the Sega PR list. "There won't be any limitations on sport experiences such as Class Level cap or direct purchase of high-tier weapons because we would like to provide players with a fair and exciting encounter. If players still find themselves in need of help for their quest, microtransactions are there to help." Kinda made me worried, I know what kind of things you can buy for ARKS cash rn and yes it will help for say leveling with all the ex boosters along with the damn scrape thing stat affixes such as the Grace series of abilities or lively or Noble series, etc. so yeah its kind of P2W in that minor case. Yet I believe that the western model of PSO2 could alter that if Microsoft has any hand in anything. If not great I hope people enjoy that version to the best of the abilities, I staying skeptical of anything related with Microsoft or some other entertainment company.
I hope SEGA understands who the fanbase is for PSO, as somebody who's only just barely on the edge of being in the PSO fanbase (I don't play it no matter how much I really like it) I understand that many if not all present western fans are astoundingly devoted for this show to go out of their way to get Japanese balances, and I hope they take"Hey, you've been enjoying in Japanese in the meantime, therefore here, move your characters to those more local servers!" Comes to West, but I doubt that.
Im really just to surprised now for words. I was really excited when this was announced and got to do so when it started but the language barrier was somewhat much for me I didn't play as much as I wanted too. Really hope it doesn't fizzle out. PSO was the only online game to actually ever hold my interest.I remember in their respective eras, PSO and PSU equally had impressively large, but somewhat hushed fanbases. I never saw anyone about playing either of them talking, but found out that the servers were popular up. I'm expecting at least that is got by us. Now to expect I can get my Clan to buy PSO2 Meseta.
