Evening, patrolmaaan.
Is it possible to import character creation data from the Japanese version of the game to the English version, or does the English version not accept those files?

Ship 2 is where most people went, IIRC.

Yeah, ship 2. Maybe stay away from block 69 even though it's pretty populated. The symbol art in this game is elaborate and the people there are pretty unrestrained.

I updated my Windows store install, and even on that it throws up a message before even getting to start game explaining account linking and how important it is to get it right. Ships are down, of course.

Cheers

Reading about how system destroying the windows store version has been has kept me away from this, even using tweaker your not safe. I'm hoping the steam version isnt 'hard drive wiping and reinstalling windows' time.

EDIT: steam version is live now, its a 67.5 GB download with it wanting 74 GB of HD space

I forgot, was Hero part of this update, or will that be next?

Also, someone said there's a good source of XP/leveling in this update?

Hero is Ep5, Phantom is Ep6 Part 1, Etoile is Ep6 Part 2 (which isn't on the roadmap yet)

I think the new EXP source that people are talking about are bonus quests

Haven't tried it yet but apparently you can just convert your MS Tweaker install to Steam with no redownload.

Also, Casino SG exchange is in.

You will often hear them called 'Tokyo Golds' and 'Tokyo Silvers' because of the keys that unlock them and the map set they run on.

Not only that, you need the windows store version if you want to link your account and keep playing with the same characters on steam.

Huh, is anyone here having trouble actually getting the game on steam? I am in the store trying to install it but there's only a button that says 'play now' without downloading it and it doesnt work, what gives? am I supposed to download it off of the MS store first?

Clicking the "Play Now" initiated the install for me. Still downloading so I can't say it'll actually work.

VVVV Yeah seems to be running fine. No issues with account linking either.

I just got my account linked to steam without any issues, and so far the steam install seems to work just fine. I'll get around to deleting the MS version this evening when I've stopped feeling unaccountably nervous :shepface:

It's probably just bound to your Steam account. The global version of the game doesn't have an 'account system' like JP's isao.net

I guess since Steam is now live and EP4 is now a thing I can start logging in again. I burned out about a month ago after my tweaker version install nuked itself and I decided it wasn't worth it to reinstall yet with Steam around the corner. I'll hopefully get that fixed tonight. I'm guessing I've got to reinstall the MS Store version and then convert over to Steam? This will be fun.

Do we have to maintain 2 PSO2 installs post-migration?

Once you link your account to steam you can uninstall the windows 10 version

No, once you get your account linked and confirm you're all good on the Steam side, you can uninstall the other version.

Question: How do I get the steam client to recognize that I have the game installed? I followed the guide to convert my MS Install, and it launches, but the steam client still has an install button, not a play button.

Possibly stupid question but should I make my character on my Xbox first and connect it to steam or start on steam and connect it to the Xbox?

Or does it not really matter. I just don’t want to screw myself from being able to play on my Xbox.

Either way should work, but there's no harm in making them on the bone first to be sure.
