While western gamers are still waiting for any news from Sega West about the localization of Phantasy Star Online 2, the Japanese version of the game got a major expansion named “Episode 2″ just two days ago, introducing a new race, a new class and a whole lot of other goodies that unfortunately won’t be seen for a while around here.
Today Sega released a new TV commercial showcasing the expansion.
Some WoW-like MMORPGs are better than others. Here's a curated list that offers a wide variety of games that let you play with other people but have something unique to offer.
WoW is a mess and it will continue to be a mess. Still, the less-developed MMOs are going to have trouble gaining a fan base because they lack content right now. Even if people do flock to FF14 or BDO, they'll go back to WoW if they fix enough features or give players a shred of hope.
Blizzard is going through some stuff right now, and people are seeing the writing on the wall— World of Warcraft might not be the best game in which to invest your time at the moment.
Nah, I'll keep playing the game with the millions of other people. The writing on the wall says "game is not dead" even though people have claimed it is for 15 years.
I'd guess that people are going to filter out but then come back for the next expac when the turmoil is over. I do worry about content delays, though.
With the release of a global server, this MMORPG is available on PC and Xbox. However, does Phantasy Star Online 2 have cross-platform play?
Here, let me save you the click: "Yes, Phantasy Star Online 2 does support cross-platform play between Xbox One and PC"
I'm really doubting this game will ever make it westward now LOL. Oh well, at least I can still wander around in the Japanese version enjoying the beautiful landscapes, not knowing what in the world is going on.
I wonder if its going to be cancelled for the us verison
I think I got in back when it was still in Beta. It's free. Just google it. There are tutorials to walk you through the menus. I've read that some people have played it on their Vita's, but I don't have a Japanese account on my Vita. PC version looks really nice though.
