Pricing

For those in the UK, it's set to be (around) £35, and for American users, it's set to be around $50. Apparently JP PSU will have no free trial, unlike many other pay-to-play online RPGs, it remains to be seen if this will apply to America and Europe as well. The monthly fee is likely to be anywhere from $9-$15.

This information is not set in stone and is subject to change, of course.

Server Linking

Cross-terrority Linking

It has been confirmed by Takao Miyoshi that, at least, initally, the servers will be seperated. There will likely be two servers, one for JP and one for US. It is possible that servers will be linked later on in the game's life, however this has only been hinted at very slightly, and probably will not happen. [1]

Cross-platform Linking

At the moment, PC and PS2 users will play on the same servers. However, Xbox360 users will be seperated from the other platforms. This may be due to the voice chat facility, or the Xbox Live subscription system, or Microsoft having influence over/control of the servers.

US/UK Players on JP

Currently, people are believing Sega are blocking non-JP cardholders/importers from the US/Europe.

This, while unconfirmed, is false (information from Shimarisu), and currently pre-orderers should not be discouraged (at least until they have to write the cardholder name in Katakana).

Game Questions

What will PSU Play like?

See Gameplay.

How many characters will I be allowed on an account?

Four per account for online play. (Confirmed by Beatrixkiddo)

The number of character slots available for Extra Mode is not known at this time.

Will there be an active GM Team?

It's currently believed that lobbies will be moderated by GMs. During the Closed Beta Trial GMs often made announcements which scrolled across the game screen.

How many people can play together?

The limit of players in a party is 6. (Confirmed by Beatrixkiddo)

Will there be a PvP Arena/mode

As of yet there is no form of PvP in PSU. The emphasis is on co-operative gameplay, not PvP. It may be added in the future.

Will there be Challenge Mode and S-Ranks?

Currently, no. It may be added in the future.

What's this I'm hearing about a cracked Character Creator from the Beta?

It's a hacked client, and unless you know someone from the Beta with the files, it's very hard to get hold of. Its legality is disputed, too, obviously. Posting links to the cracked client is not allowed here.

This site should take care of all your character creation needs for now.
