They probably exist but I have never seen a group of Japanese players speaking in terrible comic book English. I'm also glad Kirby's log has me losing my mind during the pub exchange.

I haven't had a lot of interaction with the Japanese players. Aside from the one who whispered me saying I was terrible, there was.. one who joined our party, one of us mentioned we didn't speak Japanese but he was cool with it and helped out till the end and.. the amazing guy in this cut-in, who we watched have a conversation with a friend he hadn't seen in awhile. They mentioned there seemed to be more foreign players lately (as we all crowded around them in awe), but it didn't seem to bother either of them much at all.

Mm, most of those are alright but some are odd as hell. Here are some useful, more natural-sounding ones you could use in your autowords: 整理行ってくる gonna sell some poo poo and turn in some COs, I'll brb 回復あり/復活あり thanks for the heal / thanks for the revive 先に落ちます this is for when you're leaving the party early. that thread has it a bit off; the typical JP player would use the verb "ochiru", or "to drop/fall", to indicate they're dropping out おつかれ say this when the quest is over お邪魔します/よろしくね say this when you join in on a party 初心者です。よろしく I'm new so watch out for me, thanks! <pos>でEトラ発生 E-trial happening at <pos> If anyone wants some stuff translated you can post it here or PM me. I helped fix Mewnie's autowords and I will help fix yours up gladly!

Would anyone be willing to give me a brief rundown on the flow of the game? I've never touched a Phantasy Star Online title in my life, and I've just now finished the intro/tutorial mission and even with the translation patch I'm feeling a lack of direction.

I've notice a lot of Japanese players tend to use 抜ける instead of 落ちる to talk about leaving a group, whereas the latter is usually reserved for losing your connection. Not that it really matters. As for game flow, it's relatively straightforward. You progress through content by hitting certain level thresholds which unlock missions from Coffee. Generally speaking, you will run all the ARKS quests for a particular area, after which you unlock the Free Exploration quest. Completing the Free Exploration quest for an area will let you unlock the next area. When you reach level 20 and level 40 you can do quests to unlock Hard and Very Hard difficulty. Story progression is completely separate from content progression. You progress the story by completing the tasks on matter boards and doing Story quests.

A lot of the general english speaking contingent of pso2 players congregate on block 20 of ship 2. That being said: most of us aren't terribly fond of block 20 because a lot of the aforementioned group hail from places like the PSO-World forums, 4chan, and reddit. If you don't mind that then going to the green elevator doors (the most convenient of which are located next to the quest counter) and selecting block 20 from the list you access inside will get you there if it's not full.

You can only sell things on the player shop (accessible through the purple Visiphone consoles in the lobby) if you have premium, or if you get a 3-day shop pass from the FUN Scratch (super rare). I would just check your items that seem valuable in the player shop and see how much they're going for, then sit on em in storage just in case you ever manage to get a pass.

What you can come across that is worth a lot at low levels are affixes. The special effects on an item like power I, body I, Rockbear Soul, etc. The valuable affixes you can find at low levels are Mizer Soul, Vol Soul, Fang Soul and Gwana Soul. Those ones are sure money, with Mizer being worth the most by far.

How do I get and spend FUN? Also, for some reason the tweaker isn't recognizing that I've got the English patches installed and they're working fine in-game. Is there any way I can fix this? EDIT: And how would I go about getting an invite to the goon group or whatever?

You can spend it by going to the AC Scratches section on the menu (there's only one option that lets you spend FUN there), or the FUN shop in the shop district of the ship. I got the tweaker to find my stuff by just file checking and letting PSO2 fix itself, then allowing the tweaker to install the patches for me. I don't think it can recognize them if installed outside the program very well.

Where's the option on the tweaker to install the patches through it, then? All I've seen is the ability to disable intro videos, and it hasn't asked me to install any English patches.
