It's pretty much PSO at its base, with everything good about PSU and several brand new concepts added to the mix. It's the most fun I've had since PSOBB.
The locked character creation situation is really getting to me - I'm so upset about it I'm probably not getting much done at work today.
It is the true sequel to PSO. Forget PSU even was made. While it does have changes from PSO, there is much here that reminds you of how awesome PSO was and also how much more interesting they have pushed the game.
The sounds alone bring back fond memories of PSO but the new combat feel and flow makes it feel fresh.

I got onto Ship 2! 
My character is Chiyana and I will now try to get onto the NeoGAF team, which would be the right-click menu option to whisper someone?

So...I've been swamped with work and stuff, leaving me with little time to even start the download for the patch. I might play a bit this weekend, just wondering whether it's realistic to bother starting on ship 2 now and possibly joining the neogaf team. Is the ship packed/full all the time?

Unless you enjoy soloing or have good enough Japanese to party up with native speakers, getting on any ship other than Ship02 is beyond pointless.
You guys have no idea how upset I am from this. I'm going to flip out if character creation is still locked when I get home in ~7 hours.

Going to sleep in about 30 minutes, anyone else for a team invite before I head to bed? If you can't get on tonight of course we'll get you tomorrow.

How? When did you make your character? Or did you just get lucky hammering away on the login screen?

Wasn't able to get into Ship 2 this morning.
Will try again after work.

I hear you. I'm not too familiar with Japanese culture, but it is now after 1:00am there, so I assume most people are already in bed or will be going to sleep soon. Yet, Ship 02 is still locked.
If your still on i am not sure how to whisper u. Name is kyudo.

Actually, in most games I end up soloing a lot lol...
In any case, I'll probably download the patch when I get home tonight. Not sure when I'll get to play but hopefully I can create a character on Ship02.

Forever. For all intents and purposes, the game is now live. Technically, it is Open Beta, but everything in the Open Beta will carry over to release.
Until SEGA becomes satisfied with the servers performance and they see that the servers are ready for the game to be launched.
Oh wonderful!
Will we be able to keep playing after it's launched, or will an ip-block commence?
Taking into consideration that english players can play in the Phantasy Star Universe japanese servers with no problems, no, I wouldn't expect any ip-block to happen.
I called in sick at work today so I got to start at 4pm Japan time (9am German time). So I had no problem registering on ship2.
Still a bit confused about some stuff but that was to be expected. Hoping for an English patch to come soon.
I took my first steps during the pre-open-beta so I'm still a noob.
I haven't gotten any other quests than forest yet. Anyone know what is needed to play cave and city?

For Cave (Volcano?) I think you have to finish Free Forest (full run with Rockbears at the end) within a certain period of time. Might involve taking some client orders.
City, as far as I know, is only available during Emergency Mission events.

I've been trying to register for the last 30 minutes but I just keep getting 500 Internal Server Errors.
Is it too late to register? Or is it just down for some reason? Sigh

Well, looks like it's time for me to brush up on some game mechanics. I probably haven't touched half the stuff yet. I only went questin' and shootan'.

does anyone know what error 678 is? it keeps throwing up that code when i try to log in
I reinstalled the drivers for the logitech pad, finally got it to work, but now ive royally screwed up the controls because I was trying to get the second analog stick to control the camera. I cant seem to set them back to defaults because the option is still greyed out. So im stuck hunting for a guide to find out what the default configuration is.
The time limit is 15 minutes and it's the client order from the silver-haired girl that gives you CO for the Mag.
Edit:
According to their latest tweet, creation of new characters on Ships 1-5 will be possible, but not tonight (it's 3AM here in Japan).
Tomorrow, maybe?

You can't forget PSU was made because Universe and the Portable games embody the progression of combat mechanics. PSO2's system is essentially just a tweaked version of Portable 2 Infinity's combat, minus a lot of weapon types (which I hope get added back over time).
There were growing pains that turned a number of PSO fans off, however I feel PSU's overall change in tone and presentation from PSO (to be more akin to classic Phantasy Star with hyper-anime stylings, rather than PSO's focus on high-tech fantasy) was more to blame than combat.
It's not that it isn't safe there. It's just packed with weird dudes that like to role play and talk about how beautiful their characters are.

Ok I've tried every trick in the book and I still can't get this client to download without error 12152. I've turned off my fire wall, I've marked the downloader as an exception in my antivirus software, I've turned off my antivirus software, I've changed the file location, and still no dice. I don't get this thing, I can only surmise that it has something to do with my wireless internet timing out because there's nothing else stopping it. I'm not going to download this if I have to be shackled to my computer, removing the error message and resuming the download every 60 seconds. This is torture.

The update servers themselves are also being hammered pretty hard, so it might not be a problem on your end.

Trying to login but I get this message. I assume it means my login is bad? I swear I registered this weeks ago with this username/pw. I guess I have to register again?
Yeah.
Authentication failed. Please check your SEGA ID and password and try again.

I'd like to think it was something on my end so I could resolve it and download this thing but I just tried it through a cable and it still gave me the error so I'm inclined to agree with you. I experienced the same problems during the pre-open beta when things were a little quieter so I don't know when this issue will be resolved.
Is there a place I can do forget my password reset? I have a feeling my registration didn't go through maybe, but I did get a couple emails when I regg'd months ago or so

Use the SEGA ID, then select and complete one of the following:
-Full registered first and last name
-Date of Birth
-Entered security question and answer
Then enter the registered email address in the last field.
Crap, gives me this message
"IDが登録されている情報と異なります。"
I guess I should just make a new account

Entered ID information does not match information on record.
Yeah, probably best suited just starting from scratch.
