Saying, its very improbable. I'm not saying we all know for PSO2 Meseta for sale certain if you think about that although it WO N'T happen: the NA variant that is current already has ratings. Phantasy Star games that are Previous consistently had NA and EU share servers. The additional cost and work using two separate game customers with their own servers (including to a total of three; NA, EU, JP to get Online R&D (SEGA's dev team) to manage). The NA version has EU Privacy Laws compliant and also has a'player spoken language' setting (what language YOU use to talk, currently its just Japanese and English, but more might be added). Well making the recent NA version a international variant just seems more likely and possible.

Yeah, PSOBB on PC and Phantasy Star Universe had servers shared for international players (SEGA of Japan created the Japanese version of PSU's Xbox 360 version link into the worldwide servers). The justification was SEGA's need to be able to handle their own JP version without having to be concerned about the Western industry. The few times they spoke about this they mentioned being able to deliver region exclusive updates after all... in PSO2's situation, they didnt need to be paying for global rights to collab nor to consider whether collabs with specific businesses like Dawson or some obscure anime would be relevant to this Western players to justify the cost of global rights. SEGA needs the Japanese variant what might appeal to them and to be its own thing targeted mainly at the market.

Any thoughts if the"additional PC programs" will also crossplay? I understand Steam has had any MMOs that had servers while others elderly MMOs they had did not. PSO2 is a game that is based around cross platform much in the exact same manner as FFXIV. A Steam launch would probs still be cross platform as Steam is only used as a distribution platform for Phantasy Star Online 2 launcher and client... and similar to Halo and Sea of Thieves possess a Microsoft account login as thats the replacement for the SEGA ID system. Steam includes Halo Master Chief Collection which requires an XBL account.

I can not see it arriving to people such as GOG Galaxy, Itch.io, Bethesda Launcher, Battlenet or the Nexon Launcher (although GOG Galaxy and Ich.io for various motives from the rest of course, these two are far more indy-oriented while another three are too proprietary-focused and not as well known for being storefronts up to they're the way you play Phantasy Star Online 2s from those publishers). Maybe the Discord Store and Twitch app? (those are even worse compared to Epic and Origin, therefore I have doubts (that the Discord Store is even dead, makes me wonder if they're still selling matches in the Twitch app)). What else is there anyhow?

Assuming the scenario that is improbable that the EU version isn't a server and client. I really don't see why not? The way these things operate. It would just be the NA version, we'll be lucky if they give us EU-hosted ships as an option or other languages (contrary to popular concept, a game does not have to be localized to European languages to release there, lots of Sega games including Yakuza are offered only in English and Japanese all over the world). As for Steam. PSO2 has substituted the SEGA ID system for Microsoft accounts. Microsoft has been wanting to enlarge Xbox Live to other programs for specific games like Switch and buy Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta PS4. This is already the case with Cupheads on Switch as well as the numerous platforms which Minecraft is on.
