Pso 2 English Patch Download Guide

Welcome to the PSO2 English Patch CSV Repository.

Current status of tests and checks:

This repository is dedicated to translating PSO2 game texts from Japanese to English. Our goal is to complete the English translations first, so that it can be used to translate the game to other non-English languages.

This will walk you through installing Phantasy Star Online 2. This install WILL take a while, this is normal. You may install the English patch (translates core.

We hope our disclosing of game texts and opening this repository will pave a quicker way for non-Japanese speaking ARKS to enjoy the game in their native languages in the future.

While we appreciate the efforts of those who don't speak Japanese (through Google translate and the like), we would like for only those who have a grasp of the Japanese language to submit translations to RAW JP files. ありがとう～ (*＾▽＾)／

Getting Started/Helping Out

A full guide on how to get started is available here.

To-Do

Any CSV files located in Files are still to be translated, while the CSV files in other folders are at least partly translated.

Don't know Japanese but still want to contribute?

If you don't understand Japanese, but still want to help out, you can look over the translated lines and make sure all grammar and spelling is correct. (US English, please!)

Notice

If you want to translate a file that's in the '/Files/' directory then you MUSTmove the file into another directory before you translate it. The /Files/ directory MUST only contain untranslated files.
You can find stuff to translate by using the Meka bot in the #translations-reporting room on the PSO2 Discord Server. Usage will be in the pinned messages.
Maintain the triple quotes and only edit the text inside the quotes.
Be sure to take a look at the Wiki page for guides and reminders before sending us your translations.
You may create new issues to discuss the translations with other translators. Please note that issues not related to translation may be deleted without notice.

Phantasy Star Online was a trail blazer of a game, bringing the MMORPG experience to home consoles for the first time. Starting on the Dreamcast, it later had releases on the Xbox, GameCube and PC. Less than a month ago, its sequel Phantasy Star Online 2 was released as a free-to-play MMORPG on PCs. It will be released outside of Japan early next year, but why wait? We here at Kotaku East have put together a guide to get you started playing today.

Part 1 — Downloading the Client

Step 1: Go to http://pso2.jp/
Step 2: Click on the blue hexagon button underneath the yellow SEGA ID hexagon on the left side of the screen.

Step 3: On the new page, click the picture of the space elf and the human to download the game client downloader.
Step 4: Double click on downloader.exe (the program you just downloaded).

Step 5: Choose a download location and click the bright blue button to start your 3.3 gig download.

Part 2 — Making a SEGA ID Account

Step 1: Go back to http://pso2.jp/
Step 2: Ok, time to create a SEGA ID account so you can log in to the game after the download is complete. Click the big yellow SEGA ID Button on the left side of the screen.

Step 3: A new window should open. In the blank box in the center, enter your email address.

Step 4: Close that window and go to your email inbox. Click the link in the middle of the mail you just received from SEGA.

Step 5: Fill out this page as shown in the picture and click the Next button (the button at the bottom).
[*Note: If you encounter a Japanese captcha box but don't have Japanese installed for your keyboard, you can copy and paste the Japanese letters from Wikipedia one by one to spell it out.]
Step 6: On the next page, check to see that your info is correct and then click the Next button at the bottom of the page (it's the top one of the two). If you made a mistake, click the other button.

Step 7: Congratulations, you now have a SEGA ID account, but don't close this window yet. First we have to give your new account permission to play Phantasy Star Online 2; so click that button near the bottom of the page.

Step 8: This new list is a page of all the games that use the SEGA ID service. Phantasy Star Online 2 is written in Japanese, but you'll find it right below MJ.NET for PC. Click the gray button under the PSO2 link to activate it on your account.

Step 9: 'Read' the licensing agreement and click the left button.
Step 10: All right. Your SEGA ID account is made and you're authorized to play PSO2. Close this window and wait for your download in part 1 to finish (if it hasn't already).

Part 3 — Installation

Step 1: When the download is complete you should have three new icons. Double-click on PSO2-SETUP.exe to start the installation.

Step 2: Click the Next button (the left one).

Step 2: This is the launcher. Click the top button to download needed patches and start the game. *Note, the patching may take a while—especially the first time. Be patient and wait.

Step 3: When the patch is finished installing, click the box that appears and wait as the game boots up. *Note: it may look like it's doing nothing. It not. Just wait.

Step 5: Press enter.

Step 6: Click the button on the left to begin.

Step 7: Click the top button that says 'SEGA ID.'
