Sega declared the western launch of PSO2

There's another wrench in the works. The Switch edition is especially built on cloud design (it's actually called Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta Cloud), thus we don't have any clue if Sega will do the legwork to make that possible, or even if they're likely to just port the non-cloud edition to the system. Right now several Japanese developers are experimenting with cloud technology on Change (like Capcom using Resident Evil 7), and most are reticent about bringing it outside of this area for fear of latency problems.

When asked about whether Japanese accounts would move, Spencer noted"I do not know," conceding that it was around Sega. The waiting game: you don't have a choice but to play with it.

After almost eight years since a Japanese exclusive, Phantasy Star Online 2 is publishing in North America this Spring. Since its first launch in 2012, Phantasy Star Online 2 has become among the most common online RPGs of all-time and today, it's finally almost time for western audiences to have a turn.

Sega declared the western launch of PSO2 this past year at E3 2019, but remember a lot of the information in this article pertains to the Japanese version of buy PSO2 Meseta since it is today and may not take into consideration unknown changes in store for the North American release. That being said, Sega affirmed the whole game is getting ported in the original E3 2019 trailer, so it is reasonable to expect only minor differences in phrasing and language.
