Phantasy Star Online 2 just released today on PC in North America. If you log in today they give you a little goodies bag of stuff for the game like camos and boosters. They are also giving +50% XP and +50% loot rate drop on all quests till June 2nd. It is f2p and you do have to download it from the Microsoft Store to play it. If you have an Xbox it also features play anywhere so it has cross-platform and cross-progression.

I believe it's a timed exclusive, I think head of XBox even confirmed it would be going to other platforms..... eventually.

Good luck. I downloaded it earlier yesterday and it was nothing but a title screen sim game. No matter what button I hit it would just reload the title screen.

Uninstalled after frustration. I shouldn't have because now it won't redownload at all. Stupid error.Starting to REALLY hate the M$ store. Not as much as I hate the Epic store, though.

And it's STILL not ready to play. People STILL can't download it or get into the game.

Worst release EVER!

And I was a player on the original Dreamcast. I actually wrote this guide for the Gamecube version way back when I was stuck offline.

That sucks that you got that. I was reading some stuff about how some people are having problems. I luckily didn't get the issue. Ya, I don't know how long I'll play just considering how many live service type games I'm playing. I just figured I'd post about it since I didn't see any mention on SG in case anyone was interested.

Well.. I downloaded it and tried to play it. Seems like the Developers doesnt want me to.
It's a hard time to convince the launcher to start the game due some privilege issues made by Windows store...
After that put aside I have now the AntiCeat kicked in with an unexpected Error NP1013.
I've found a Boss before I even reached the Main screen ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ก

haha ya, that's a top tier boss. If you beat that boss the loot is a playable game possibly.

I'm sorry but this is dumb thinking. Just because a game isn't on Steam or Epic doesn't mean it's a bad game. There are a lot of other good games not on either of those platforms. Being on one of those storefronts just means more notice and possibly more sales and players. Steam has a fair amount of trash games on the store. Thousands of asset flip, hentai puzzle, bad porn games that just take up to much of the store.

Ok so because it loads itโ€™sa better game. lol

I understand and have read about people having issues right now but it is something that can be fixed. You can fix any of those shovelware games on steam.

I respect that. If you never cared for the game much you might not like it now. The thing with them fixing the problem is itโ€™s only been a little over 24 hours since it released. Now if they donโ€™t have the issue fixed within a week it could be a big issue. This also isnโ€™t the only game that had big issues when it came out. Hopefully they fix the issue quick for people who want to try the game.

This is the first time it is on PC for North America. It was released for Japan in 2012 on PC.

I dont mind Windows Store (I use XBox Game Pass), but it looks like this isnt available in the UK as it doesnt even show up for me.

Looks like it doesn't have a release for the UK yet. When looking it up there does seem to be workarounds but didn't watch them so not sure if it is even worth it.

I'm not going to invest any time trying to get ahead of the game :-p
I can wait! (to be honest, I havent played a Phantasy Star game since the SEGA Dreamcast!!!)
