...because the East Asian Version that's available in English is letting everyone on now: http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/phantasy-star-online-2-english-v...

You can download it here: http://pso2.playpark.com/en/

Be sure to register as well...I always forget that part...

Anyways, I just got through the tutorially "Chapter 0", and so far so good. I should try setting the graphics to max next time, though. It's not quite as pretty as I expected on the Medium settings...

So, anyone else up for this? I'm RaidenTheWild on there, if anyone's interested in teaming up on Server 01 (I forgot the name).

I should mention: The english subs are surprisingly good. Like...I think the only thing stopping them from releasing this game in the west is the lack of an English dub. It's all in Japanese still. A shame, since it's pretty nice so far, If you liked PSO Episode 1 & 2 (or Blue Burst), it definitely seems worth playing. It is pretty tutorial-heavy at the beginning, though.

It's finally ready?! All of my YES!!!

Hopefully my rusted cucumber I dare call a PC can even run this game, though...

I move back to where I have my "gaming pc" in a couple weeks, I would totally give it a try but I fried my graphics card and the pc it self is like 4 years old now and it wasn't anything that special back then either lol.

Damn, not looking good... the download client is already causing immense trouble. Currently torrenting the installation, but it's really slow. I can only hope I'm not wating my time on this.

Hm? It took an hour for me to download it, then another hour and a half to install and download patches. That's really quick for an MMO that's been around this long. TERA took me all day to get ready...

@CanisWolfred Problem is, the torrent wasn't particularly active, so it took me the whole night to get all of it. The client was just doing whatever it wanted, and apparently, most of that consisted of freezing while slowing down my PC for no reason. Guess I'll have to check if it works on my PC when I'm back in the afternoon,

Okay, I got the game running so far, but server maintenance prevents me from even creating a character right now. Does anyone know if the game has internal voice chat options? Cause if not, I got TeamSpeak for whoever might be in the mood for some good talkin' (can't use Skype since it doesn't work on XP anymore).

EDIT: Bah, what a joke. The SEA version being open was more or less just a temporarly thing. The latest patches and updates had issues, and players couldn't download them due to IP bans causing errors. The SEA team only removed the IP blocker to get the update out there. It's back to blocking all access from the west.

Phil Spencer is on the record for mentioning that the western release of Phantasy Star Online 2 is not exclusive to Xbox. It's expected to be available on other platforms. Although I wonder if that means just Windows and Xbox? I'm hoping to be able to play PSO2 on PS4 where the bulk of my online friends play multiplayer games.
