Europe Phantasy star online 2

Rolling off a comment from another user, the most likely answer could actually be attributed to ratings. The ESRB has the most lax rules when it comes to online play and that's typically that they don't rate online play at all. Even though the ESRB and
PEGI ratings systems are both 'self-regulated,' PEGI has a harder track-record when it comes to governmental enforcement and their rating of games with online play. A lot of European countries find the PEGI rating board to be something legally enforceable
whereas in the United States with ESRB its less strict overall with the most enforcement being in carding people over M rated games and the occasional state bill being passed for retailers. That could be an explanation that as to now why the game is being
released in North America only... I'm sure further down the line things may actually change. Its a big series for it to not be released anywhere else, which is odd.

There can be a number of reasons why a game is not released in a region. Most common ones are the developer has decided America only or the developers could not get an age rating for the game.

If it's the latter, then let's all hope it's temporary, and can get an age rating soon. Also the decision has nothing to do with Microsoft. This will be down to SEGA. You might want to contact them to find out if they have any plans to release the game outside
America.

i was hoping for a europe resalses so i can play the game with out having to play on my pc with the Japaneses text but looks like we will have to wait and see
