Why must sega torment and muck us so?

What is this? Is this a legit english version of PSO2?

Is there any downside to not playing the jap version

I don't fucking know, it would be so easy to make the game appealing over hear. Literally no reason for 6 years to pass and nothing to give us ,not even Nova

Anyways Pso2 thread pls

>>323428603
That's the SEA version, not the West/EU proper version. The deal with that is it's also still yearws behind in content.

Literally log in once a day (if you're lucky) for a 30 minute quest: the game

Honestly, it's pretty shit. The endgame is a joke and nothing like PSO, there's no reason to bring it over

Any West/EU version will be years behind in content so why the fuck do you care? Just play the superior JP version

Says who?
You?

>I'm so stupid I cant possibly imagine them just sticking all the old content in from the start

>>323428603
All the effort and time spent to do things japs cab do at the drop of hat.(Using services and what not) And the patch is only useful for the menus, translation is usually and episode later than the original so lore fans are still kinda left hanging on something things wanna know about.

I think one of the main issues about bringing it over now is that it had a lot of crossover shit going on. Apparently in the US/EU, that shit is a lot harder to legally manage, which is why you rarely see massive crossover games come over to the US, like Super Robot Wars.

>>323429043
Because SEA is a prime example. Before you start calling names use your brain for a few seconds.
All the JP content is via collaboration with all the IPs that are unlikely to leave japan anytime soon.

someone tweet that sony guy saying we want PSO2 over here. maybe we can still get the ps4 version.

I mean holy shit, we got onigiri for fuck sake.

>>323428904
Because I refuse to play games with pisspoor translations and parts that I cannot understand, nor am I inclined to jump through 50 hoops just to get premium currency.

Too bad for them, I'm a whale

>>323428895
There's end no game because they because of aren't done with all the episodes. Once 4 gets finish then we'll probably get one

So is XCX evidence as to why PSO2 should have been released here?

I promised a friend i'd sign him up to the game.

fucking captcha and setting up a spam email are a nightmare.

>>323430405
Technically PSUP was the evidence it should have been brought over here. That the hype centered aroundd when we had a western website, and the many who got a vita specifically for it over here too

Fuck Sega

problem with every pso ever though is region exclusive updates and content which are largely in japan's favor. i mean shit, most of the stuff they promote are dubbed in english and on netflix for fucks sake, it's not some niche ips with only jap appeal

They won't. The amount of things they'd have to strike from the game due to copyright alone is enough to make it not worth doing. Think about it, all the levels, monsters, events, and so on they'd have to take out would make this already barebones game even worse. Take away a chunk of dressup and it becomes worse. Not to mention people that wanted to play it, already have. The other ones forgot about it and moved on.

Pretty much the same thing.

Every time I play it, I drop it and go play the original PSO, which is objectively leagues better instead.

>>323432810
why wouldn't those updates come by much faster than what Japan had to deal with. all they really be doing is just translating the menus and text properly. That's all we want them to do!

It's years behind watered down and charges for things that are free in the real version. There's only one real PSO2 and if you want to play it then stop procrastinating because it ain't gonna get much more English than it already is with the patch.

>>323432810
90% of the game is grinding to afford some fucking clothes and dress up like your favorite anime or vidya character

Are you from the SEA region or something? Unless you're talking playing the SEA client for some godawful reason.

Also Ship 2 is infested with English players. They're all fucking garbage but that's literally EXACTLY what would happen in an NA release anyways.

>>323432810
Again, you're a mongoloid cockwringer.

>HURR DURR THEY WOULD HAVE TO STICK TO THE SAME RELEASE SCHEDULE AS JAPAN HAD.

how bout no? They can just add all content from the get go.

>>323436731
>Also Ship 2 is infested with English players
To the point most japs fucked off

>>323436758
Like they did with PSO?

>>323436758
I guarantee you that won't happen. It'll 'overwhelm' the playerbase. Plus they'd have to REMOVE a ton of shit, though most of it would be cosmetic, as the game's dressup part THRIVES on crossovers.

>>323436785
I'd rather play with JP players anyways after hanging around Ship 2 for even a fucking week.

>>323429354
>jump through 50 hoops just to get premium currency.
Why's this even a factor? It's a free game. Once you put a whole bunch of hours in there might be 1 (ONE) purchase worth making. (It's the inventory expansion, and it's permanent.)

The announcement is coming this year for them to finally bring it over to the West. Then we can all be awful together.

>>323436179

>"Either you spend your optimizing for the most damage output or your just standing around not actually pllaying."
> you can't you can't progress and just play the game with out putting tons of thought into optimizing and weapon crafting

The way i see it is, until I i reach a point where i actually feel like I need to put effort into it i don't freakin' need it. Im already well on my past super hard and so far i still have not reached that point of needing to prioritize it

>>323436731
You can't connect with the english client unless they took down the region block, which they won't.

>>323437032
Not him, but the only good thing I've seen about the show at all was a quick nod to PSO1 because the default HUmar shows up on screen in character creator for a moment.

That's about it.

>>323437142
They took it down almost a year ago, dude. If you're gonna shitpost about something at least do it right. I think there's, like, ONE ISP that's blocked still and they're a literally who.

even worse, the users from that part of the world are ip banned from the main servers of jap PSO2, so they cannot run back to it, lost several guildmates over that

This old meme? There was never a region block. Sega updated their network, old and busted ISPs that used old technology could not see the new routes to their servers. Literally your fault for having a shit ISP, never affected anyone with a decent one. Still the routes eventually got distributed to the shit ones so it's probably fine on your shit internet now.

Again, maybe if you're talking about SEA. I'm playing right now with no proxy or anything whatsoever. I can even boot it with the default launcher.

As a rule of thumb, if you can boot any page on the website (i.e. http://pso2.jp/players/catalog/scratch/ac/ ) you are not blocked and can freely access the JP version of PSO2.

>>323438036
No i pull as much weight as as anyone else, it's not hard, it just means you need to focus on the vitals more. And it's usually the op mofo that forgets about the objective die. Shit happens every apprentice run I've been in so far seen

>>323436956
You have to pay in real fucking money to actually trade with other players you fuck, how is that good?

>>323438671
Because all the good shit is up on the marketplace and the only thing you really would need it for is getting 10-11* units and weapons early (which doesn't matter because as of right now the best early game weapons are, like, 8* extended with a certain unlocked potential). 12* exchange passes are given out during Maximum Attack via titles for free plus you get a pass for free anyways so if there's a nice 12* you want you can buy it off the marketplace that way. 13* weapons are untradable and easy as fuck to get now with some grinding.

>>323438836
red weapons are 7*

>>323438671
And what are you going to trade? The best weapons are untradeable and the not best weapons are all over the place. Can't walk two steps without tripping over a space monkey who dies and coughs up eighteen 10* weapons.

Trading is not something worth giving fuck about.

Just play Blue Burst again....its has like 200 people playing every day

>>323438945
My mistake. Was trying to remember off the top of my head when I could have just booted up a terminal.

>>323437592
I can attest to this, as a SEA guy who used to play on the main severs.

http://pso2.jp/ does not load at all, just stuck at "connecting..."

needless to say, I don't play PSO2 at all anymore.

>>323438426

if you're still 45 then it's okay, you might want to level up when you can go to emergency quests, if you die too much solo then try to snag a party by talking something like "LFP (difficulty) EQ" near the counter when the EQ is about to start, you get some good drops from emergency quests.

During SH emergency quests you will get a TON of 10* and upwards items, if you are not going to use the items, then exchange them for excubes, excubes are exchanged for either tickets for advance missions, success rate crafting stuff (save them for times when you need tu craft 11* items or upwards and during crafting success rate+ events) or misc.

Before the current update I used to level up at first and get decent to okay items from emergency quests until I hit 50, then I would hoard the SH emergency quests I could land on 50-55, then look out for active guilds or players to keep leveling further, check out on the wiki what weapon would you like to grind for when you are able to equip them, some of them from advance quests, some of them from stages or some of them from EQ bosses

Also you can burn 2 excubes for FUN 1000 Tickets when you have the opportunity to do so you can get neat stuff from the daily slots, try this when you have hoarded a ton and don't know what to do with them, since you can get shop items and etc.

You might want to check guides on your optimal build and subclass for your build and what type of stuff to feed your mag to complement your build btw

>>323440467
It's definitely grindy. The grind from 55 to 70 is horrifying. You can grind for the best weapons in the game as well rather than leaving it up to chance.

Are we ever going to go back to the older style PS games?
