That is a very impressive number.

[LackTrue4K]

wait wait...is this game out in the US?!?
i need to know....ASAP!!!

[Clover904]

No, not yet. Hopefully we'll hear something soon about a possible NA release.

[andibandit]

Is anyone beyond me surprised that there are even 350k Vita's sold worlwide?.

[G20WLY]

^bandit, you're either incredibly thick or sadly out of touch. I would hope it was the latter, but based on your comment history....lol

Have you been in a coma since 1 day after the Vita launched?

Great to see PSO2 doing so well - now hurry up and get it out for the rest of us please! :)

[Snookies12]

Good, now bring it over to NA and we'll add even more. :D

[jujubee88]

Though, if I where SEGA I would be in serious talks with SCEA about a VITA price cut.

The install base for VITA needs to increase before SEGA think of going and localizing a f2p game.

[sinncross]

SEGA are releasing the game in USA and EU this year on PC...

[jujubee88]

And PC is not VITA. PC gamers already account for a big enough install base that SEGA can justify releasing PSO2 on PC.

Look, SCEA need to be pushed by a third party bc (it's obvious) a first party wont have the balls to tell SCEA that VITA is too expensive for gamers to afford, therefore there isn't a big install base.

The Sony store deals are a start, but those deals need to be standardized and maybe Sony should go the extra mile too. I already own a VITA, it's the billions of other that need to know and that SCEA has to entice.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Great news!

I want this game more than any other title on the Vita!

[Muffins1223]

VITA FTW

[Protagonist]

Indeed ;O)...

[SOD_Delta]

Now all they need to do it release outside of Japan.

[drsnoopyseussdog]

yeah i cant wait for this game. as good as soul sacrifice looks i am still more excited for phantasy star online 2 :)

[Xer0_SiN]

sega! do the right thing and localize this game for the us. i played every true iteration of phantasy star (1-4) and feel its about time i play a sega rpg once again. im sure more than several hundred thousand NA vita users agree too :) .

[DivineAssault]

good job.. Now localize this game & keep it F2P! I need something like this after i finish soul sacrifice.. That really sucks that these two games released so close to each other.. SS still sold well out there but im sure it wouldve sold more if PSO2 werent so close to its release

[R_aVe_N]

I could really use some phantasy star on my vita!!

[swice]

You're damn right it does

[saint_seya]

I cant hear the presentation of the old genesis #Seegaaa#
On topic, this game looks cool, once i get a vita ima try it, and ofc soul sacrifice

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Played it. It's honestly a really fun game. However, I just couldn't enjoy it because I didn't understand 90% of it. Translated and etc. I can easily imagine this game being as big as the first.

[TM333]

That's me. I've played it some on PC and was able to get by with online tutorials and just being familiar with the original PSO, but I sure would like to have it translated.

[Azurite]

Does anyone know if you can switch between PC and other systems or if they're on seperate servers?

[SirBradders]

There are pc only lobbies, vita only lobbies with a slightly lowered monster count and a cap on emergency codes and there are shared pc+vita lobbies.
Your accounts are shared so you can pick up your vita and play with your pc character and vice versa.

[Azurite]

Nice, that's awesome.
Thanks :)

[ARESWARLORD]

Bring this game to Canada ASAP

[Taigerr]

Currently playing this and am blown away. Never played the series before now and I don't know japanese.
I can safely say its the best game on vita so far bar none. I have played soul sacrifice demo and PSO2 is so much better in every way by comparison IMHO.

[Protagonist]

Better than SS? dang I need to try PSO2 too!

[profgerbik]

Sweet good to see it doing well maybe we will just get that NA Vita version after all.
