Edward is hinting at PSO2. Can we please shut up about PSO2 not coming to NA?

[CelestialBlade]

Not sure I'm getting how this hints at PSO2, as much as I'd like to believe that. All I see is a long-overdue shutdown notice.

Unless you mean "moving forward" but that's far too vague and politically-correct to be a hint at anything. Not trying to be a pessimist but I just need more evidence.

Important Notice for all PSU XB360 Players:

We regret to inform you that servers for Phantasy Star Universe on XB360 will be closing as of this September 7th, 2012.
This was not an easy decision but there comes a time when we must consider the level of service and support we can provide for an ongoing game, and balance those concerns against preparing for the future, and providing you with new opportunities and new experiences.

Following service closure, the single player version of the game will still be available, but network mode will be inaccessible. Players who still have a GUARDIANS license active following the close date will have their subscription refunded by Microsoft on a pro-rated basis.

Regarding this decision:

The time has come where we must move forward. We wish to thank every single one of you for your part in this journey.
It has been a long run for our intrepid GUARDIANS: Across the Gurhal system for six years now, exploring new worlds and new challenges. While we are saddened to close the doors to PSU on Xbox 360, we are proud of the game and of our loyal fans who have supported us through the years.

More than anything we want to thank all of you once again, from the bottom of our hearts, for supporting this game, for providing feedback, and for enjoying and sharing in this experience with us.

We look forward to taking our memories and the lessons learned from this game as we prepare to move into the future. There is more news yet to come for Phantasy Star, and there will be much to be excited about in the coming weeks and months. For now, please feel free to share your memories of this game and know we look forward to sharing more adventures with you in the future!

That's not a hint, that's typical PR talk - SEGA has more games than just PS.

^This. It's just what they're trained to say, to look good. It isn't 'hinting' at shit.

Even if it was, JP PSO2 is the best way. Trust me....and anyone else who played the US/EU PSU servers.

Personally disagree wholeheartedly. Some people may enjoy Japanese culture and social structure better but I find their tenancies hard to get used to and would rather just play on a hassle-free English server.

I don't agree with it either, but I still think you're thinking too hard. Just looking at the open payment options suggests a global release, like I'm told PSO originally had.

Mmm....that's not what I was talking about. I don't give a flying rat shit about JP culture or social structure. I was referring to the piss-poor support the US/EU PSU servers (both PC/PS2 and XB360) received compared to the JP PSU servers. What makes you think PSO2 won't get the same treatment? I highly doubt any sort of EN PSO2 will get half the care that JP PSO2 gets.

If you want to play PSO2 and enjoy it to the fullest extent, go JP. Calling it now. You don't have to believe me, but hey, it'll be your loss in the long run.

If you want to play on the EN servers go nuts, if you want to play on the JP servers, feel free to do so.

Sorry that I randomly jumped in that but I dont want there to be a fight in which leads to a Mod having to calm it down or lock the topic.

Anyway I personally will be on the EN servers if pso2 ever comes to the west. The JP servers will always get more "support" and will always receive updates before us but the language barrier is what keeps me back. Not with the game itself but with the community, because im sure alot of people on psow will be on the EN servers instead of the JP ones.

[Mitz]

We'll just see about that. By this point I've given up most hope on seeing an NA release, especially seeing as there was no mention of it at the E3.
