Their fear is very valid, of contents being shifted too much like asian (SEA) release, but he does have to
PSO2 Meseta for sale see the reason of why it failed in a broader view, not simply only PSO2's instance. "We noticed a great deal of players say they've been waiting eight long years for this release. [laughs] We were very happy about that."
SEGA did not just wait to bring PSO2 into the west. Remember that there were plans to localize the match early on, but for one reason or another the job was scrapped until lately. The pso2.com page was active as early as 2012, showing teasers and other information on the game with a large"COMING SOON" plastered on the webpage. SEGA announced plans to localize PSO2 only days after the JP launch, hoping to launch in 2013. The page had no updates whatsoever and was eventually taken down late 2017. With a bit of digging, we could piece together what might have occurred.
Making and hosting an MMO isn't affordable. Even if the dev work is currently done, you still will need to get a translation group, customer service , and servers to sponsor the game. What happened to SEGA they needed to cut funding for the localization project? Our first clue is that Atlus was in danger after its parent company filed for bankruptcy back in June of 2013. The company to purchase Atlus was none apart from SEGA. Cue the milking of popular names Persona 4 and 3. Regardless of what actually occurred, we could observe that SEGA has otherwise been on a downward tendency financially over the last ten years. It is possible to take a look at the published financial reports for yourself. While PSO2 has been among the most successful titles, it doesn't cost as much to maintain it in JP compared to hiring a new team and establishing new infrastructure to get it localized. It could be a massive risk for SEGA to try and force the game to the west. The demand is still, but with so many foreigners already playing on the JP servers, SEGA might have been and determined it wasn't necessary to try and make that push. The failure of this SEA server failed to help with this choice, even if the cause falls upon Asiasoft's poor handling of this match.
We now know that the foreign inhabitants about the JP servers is little when compared with the people playing the NA servers, but hindsight is 20/20. Speaking of 2020, enter Microsoft. A number of decades ago, Microsoft opens up Azure for gaming. While we do not know who approached who, it's very obvious that there was an agreement between the two businesses: Microsoft can fund the PSO2 localization job in exchange for SEGA utilizing and analyzing Microsoft's platform. The rest is now history. SEGA didn't wait because they wanted to. For one reason or another, they could not bring PSO2 into the west until Microsoft swooped in.
I also heard a rumor that the gains out of Alien Colonial Marines were to
buy Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta assist fund pso2 in the West, but we all know what happened to that match. Granted, this is only a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt. Wait, if thats true, does this mean we could blame PSO2 NA's authentic delay on Randy Pitchford!? Because I am all for that! Wait ? I thought that sport funds were stolen to fund Borderlands rather than that game I heard, that's dumb.
