And my vita plays it with no problem. What i really recomend is a 64 GB card, i know its too expensive, but if you use the vita a lot, it does worth it. I have the pso2 physical copy, and all updates on my card, and more 20 others games, 30 mp4 episodes of 80mb each well, about your last question, yes, you can update.
I have no japanese ps, i play the game with a NA ps account. Ah, and I play from Brazil, if it matters for someone. I rediscovered the series upon stumbling across my old copy of Phantasy Star Zero for the NDS, and have since been playing PSO2. After playing PSZero again, I now plan to get a physical copy of PSO2 for Vita. Now, here’s my conundrum: according to the above, you need to have a 16GB memory card. The thing is, it then gives the instructions for downloading the digital copy.
So my questions are:.If I get the physical copy of the game, does that mean that I could make do with a smaller memory card? If so, approximately how much memory would I still need for patches?.What are the differences between the different “Episode (#) Deluxe Packages”? I mean, I have heard that they’re all the same game, but still, is there a difference in the size of the patches need to download? Like, does that mean that the patch for the Episode 3 package is smaller than the one needed for the Episode 2 package, etc?.”If your Vita can connect to the official site (by that, do you mean “pso2.jp”?), you could play it?” Does that mean I won’t get the dreaded “Error 650/651” on the Vita like I do on the PC version if I log in without using the cyberkitsune Proxy? I ask because I could access pso2.jp on my PC’s browsers (Firefox and Chrome, if that matters. I don’t bother with IE), yet I still get 650’d without cyberkitsune.
Aaaand well, that’s about it, honestly. Although I do have an unrelated question. I am willing to buy this game because I feel as if I have spent enough time on the English-patched PC version to be able to maneuver the menus without much trouble, but I was also considering getting Phnatasy Star Nova, so:.Do you think that I, a guy with absolutely no understanding of written Japanese and a pitiful handful of spoken Japanese, should import PSNova as well as PSO2? Any (helpful) response within the next couple of weeks would be greatly appreciated. 1) In theory, yes.
However, the patches will pile up as time goes on, meaning eventually you may have to buy a bigger memory stick to play at all on Vita. I would get a reasonably large memory card, a grade up from whatever the minimum that will hold PSO2 is (I forget exactly how much that is though) 2) It’s as you say, the size of the patches for each special package will be larger the older the episode of the special package. They generally come with all the content up to the point the package was released on-cartridge. Besides that, the main difference is the item codes that come in the package.
3) I can’t really answer about the proxy, since I don’t use it, sorry about that. I play PSO2 on PC but I wanna play it on vita when I’m out but it is said that the Vita must be able to access the game website. My question is, how do I know if the Vita can access the gamesite before I buy one? Is it by the region version of the Vita(Asia, North America, Europe Version), or is it by my general location (What country am I in? Which means my region is blocked), or some other method. If it is the 2nd one can anyone recommend a good vpn(If there are any. Tried searching but nothing came up).
