The Phantasy Star Online 2 VITA English Patch has been released! (This is not the final version, and as more things are fixed (The. PSO2 General; PSO2 PSVITA English Patch? I heard Aida is looking at PSO2 VITA Eng Patch since Vita is now cracked/semi cracked is that true if so whats the.
Current version: PSN 1.06, Title Screen 1.0401.2 (2013/4/24), patch download size: 24MB
Phantasy Star Online 2 has gone portable! Hot on the heels of a very successful closed beta, users with Japanese PSN accounts can download this fully realized online experience for free on February 28! Hop online and fight against the Darkers with up to 11 other people.
To play, you will need at least an 8 GB memory card: 3.2 GB is needed for the game and 1.4 GB for extra data. You will also need a SEGA ID to play, and all in-game purchases will use the same payment systems as on PC (you cannot use funds from your PSN wallet).
The servers are shared with the PC version, and Hasemo does a great job keeping up with the updates there, so for general game information and updates I'll leave it to him:
As a reminder, the official NeoGAF team is on Ship02. If you want in, contact the following team managers:
- Keii
- dr apocalipsis
- Twentytwo
- skyy
- Netto-kun
- djplaeskool
- Killthee
Do NOT contact me as I am not on the NeoGAF team and will not be able to invite you!Scheduled maintenance:
The servers undergo weekly scheduled maintenance beginning on Tuesdays at 10 PM EDT, typically coming back online by Wednesday 4 AM EDT. Note that patches for the game, if one is needed for a particular update week, typically go live almost as soon as maintenance starts.
Is this coming out internationally?
We don't know. Only the PC version was mentioned to be potentially coming internationally; absolutely nothing was said regarding the Vita version. However, as the Japanese servers have been online since Summer 2012 and receive new content roughly every two weeks, any theoretical international version is already doomed to be forever behind the Japanese servers in content, and no prior iteration of Phantasy Star Online/Universe has been handled well internationally.
It's in Japanese! What does everything mean?
The guides linked in OT2 cover most aspects of the game. Also, the androgyne has created a Vita-specific interactive guide: Vita PSO2 English translations
How is this different from the PC version?
While the PC and Vita versions access the same game servers, there are restrictions on which blocks you can enter. The servers are split into three block types: PC only (0xx), Vita only (1xx), and PC+Vita (2xx). On any block allowing Vita clients, fields will be a little smaller and enemy rate will be reduced slightly, and only two emergency trials can be active at any time (versus the maximum of four simultaneous emergency trials on the PC only blocks). PSE Burst lasts longer on the Vita and PC+Vita blocks to compensate for the lower enemy count.
The Vita client has a variety of control schemes; the default control scheme is designed for players accustomed to the Phantasy Star Portable series while there is an alternate scheme that more closely resembles the default PC controller layout.

New player?
If you are new to the game, you should consider using the friend invite system! This system awards both the new and referring players with badges that can be turned in for exclusive items. The process on PC is outlined here: http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-friend-invite-system/

You need to register for a SEGA ID first if you haven't already. Be aware that the registration process includes solving a Japanese captcha; if you have significant difficulty with this you can copy the captcha image and paste it here and maybe someone will be able to help (I am unfortunately not one of these people). A guide to registering a SEGA ID can be found here: http://bumped.org/psublog/phantasy-star-online-2-pre-open-beta-registration-guide/
How do I switch accounts on my Vita?
From the February Vita PSN Game and Service thread:

To switch accounts, you must:

2. Format the memory card (if you only have one) or swap in another memory card (if you have multiple)

What if I want the game on a card instead of downloading it?
There is a special package on sale in Japan that has a physical copy of the game as well as extras including item and music codes, a 30 day Premium set pass, and 1000 FUN points. Even when using the game card, you will still need to download 1.4GB of data to your memory card. The special package is available at the following retailers:
It has been reported that the card version works regardless of what region PSN account it is used on.
