Wasn't this on the Dreamcast? I remember playing an online game when it came out.

It's just speculation right now, but I'm told it might have something to do with all the licensed and promotional content that have been added into it over the years, and since the trailer stated that all of that content will be coming over, it'll probably take some time before Europe gets the clearance to allow for that.

This got a fist pump from me. So many memories playing the original on my Dreamcast on a 20 something inch tv with dial up across the world with a buddy in Australia. Really looking forward to this.

Never owned a Xbox system and not wanting to play this on PC. So i’m going to have to pass even though I waited 7 years for it to be localized.

I’ll just stick with the Anime.

I wonder if progress from the Jp version carries over?

Back in the Dreamcast days, all I had was dial up. So everytime I tried to play something like Quake, there would be like a 2 second delay after every button press. Dreamcast was my first gateway to online gaming, so I learned to live with the delay. It was just so cool in the first place. Then Xbox/Halo 2 came. I was blown away. I'd even have friends over and they would be stunned and even creeped out when they heard people talking to each other in game.

Now and days I usually wouldn't touch online multiplayer with a 20 foot pole. Too many scum/losers online now.

While I am not into PSO2, is anyone on here playing it on the XBOX One?
