Making a new thread since the old one hasn't been active for a couple of years now.
As some of you may or may not be aware, for most of last year the JP PSO2 servers were unreachable by casual methods after yahoo.jp did some networking mumbo jumbo in response to being DDOS'd and essentially region-locked themselves off from the rest of the world. The only way us baka gaijin could play PSO2 on the JP servers was by using a proxy or VPN service. Well that's no longer the case anymore as the soft region-lock has been undone and connecting to the JP servers is once again possible without needing any of the aforementioned methods.
For anyone who thought about checking this game out and the idea of using the SEA servers was unappealing despite being translated, I encourage you to head over to arks-layer.com/ and grab the PSO2 Tweaker.
It provides you a means of updating, patching, translating and launching PSO2.
The catch? PSO2 is a pretty big download and setting up the tweaker can be a tad time consuming at the start. Also, it's still not a 100% complete translation. The vast majority of the story content, all Episodes 1 and 2, have been translated with steady progress on Episode 3 still being made. Most tooltips and system messages are also translated.
I've been back and playing regularly since the beginning of the year and really enjoying it.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask here.
For any of you that play on the JP servers already, feel free to look up Hallower on Ship 2, Block 2.
Once you make your first character on a new account it'll ask you if you've been invited by a friend. Input the following info if you'd like: Inviter's Player ID: 13023509
