It'll have cross play between Xbox and PC von Megaomgchens Blog
It'll have cross play between Xbox and PC so it doesn't matter if the player base skews to people playing on PC, they will still be lots of players in the pool so to speak. It's hilarious that Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta Xbox players have been begging for a long time to find some JRPGs such as PS4 has plus they eventually land a fairly popular one completely and PS4 players are mad they don't get this one game following years of feasting on exclusivity for every JRPG released.I've not seen these mad PS4 players you're talking about. I am arguing from the point of view of a PC player that's worried about Phantasy Star Online 2 launch functionality, as it isn't currently launching on PC, and that is I think where the great majority of Phantasy Star Online 2s userbase is.
I mean that's great. I hope it ends up on all platforms. And they are doing this with no advantages (console earnings ) that timed-exclusive launches are used for.It's potential, but my experience with FFXIV informs me that PC players constitute the large majority of the western playerbase, and due to the PS4 userbase being substantially larger than the Xbox userbase this gen, I believe that large majority is going to be split much more in favor of PC for Phantasy Star Online 2 (in regards to Xbox One/PC split).
I agree, and that's why I'm concerned that the health of Phantasy Star Online 2 at launch will be somewhat poor, because it's a Xbox One exclusive. Till we get a PC release it might be months following Xbox release. Hopefully the PC release is able to revitalize Phantasy Star Online 2 enough to keep it alive, presuming the Xbox launch is as lifeless as I envision it being. Perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic and do not know Xbox userbase enough, however I really don't watch Phantasy Star Online 2 with multiple thousand users months on US Xbox.
There is no reason not to go play with it now and get the enthusiast dictionary if you're itching to buy PSO2 Meseta play it. You will get banned for logging in from so that you do not need a VPN, someplace that is not Japan. The translation covers most of everything up to chapter 4 so you dont have to know any Japanese at all. Phantasy Star Online 2 is at a fantastic spot at the moment and it is fun though it's not at all like the original PSO (theres a good thing for the most part). It is free, so you have nothing to loose. Dont get overly invested because you will not have the ability to transfer advancement to the NA version.
