The countdown to the Japanese release of Phantasy Star Online 2 continues. Sega has announced that the open beta test will begin on Thursday, June 21.
Sega had previously announced that the game would enter open beta fairly quickly if the "pre-open" beta was successful. The announcement of the open beta test came before the "pre-open" test even closed, so I guess Sega was pleased with how things went.
Characters created during the "pre-open" beta test will not transfer to the open beta. However, characters created during the open beta test will be carried over into the release version of the game.
Based on this statement, I expect that a lot of English-speaking players will be calling the Japanese servers home permanently beginning next week. That might not be such great news for a future English version of the game (something that Sega of America likely knows about, but won't mention)...
