Phantasy Star Online 2 releasing soon... any takers?

Unless we hear otherwise its a pretty safe bet Vita will be free as well and therefore not have a retail disc but rather a download

[DCUltrapro]

its FREE TO PLAY, that doesn't necessarily rule out a retail disc, it could simply mean there is no subscription involved

Well it turns out you're on to something. This is from wikipedia "Sega will also release a retail version of the game. The price of the retail version is ¥6,279 and will be released on September 13. 2012. It will include the installation disc and a download code that will grant you five original weapons and a Mag Evolution device." I can't think of any freemium game ever getting a retail before but this one is, in Japan at least.

I think I'll give the iOS version a try

Unfortunately it does not look like we will be getting iOS and Android versions in America, at least not right away.

Can you link me to some info on that. So far all I've heard is that the iOS version was coming to fruitation.

I think it is mate but he's saying it might not have an international release just yet
