Phantasy Star Online 2 PS Vita Ads Streamed

The official channel for Sega's Phantasy Star Online 2 role-playing game began streaming two commercials on Friday for the game's PlayStation Vita version. The commercials show the game's ability to connect with 12 friends for cooperative play.

[GloriousBagel]

It's being shown off at PAX maybe they will give us some info. I think we shall see a fall release date.

Last year, they said early 2013, but I don't know how early they mean because Q1 is about to end.

is this free to download onthe jp market??

[BXbomber]

yea but u need a jap vita account

[Snookies12]

Which sucks on the Vita because it moves all your bubbles around and crap... -_- WHY WON'T SONY GET ON FIXING THAT!?

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Yeah forget about multiple accounts on the Vita.
You have to have a separate memory card and reset your Vita every time you want to play the games for that region, which resets your backgrounds, saved searches and so on. It's a complete pain and a slap in the face to the consumers really.
I don't know why they chose to lock it down to one account.

[profgerbik]

Piracy, pretty simple answer.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

How does locking it to one account stop piracy?
The PS3 has multiple accounts for different regions and they never locked it down in an update.

Looks pretty interesting - let's hope this hits WW soon. PSO on Dreamcast was a blast. Cross PS Vita / PC is pretty sweet also.
