This game is like taking an acid bath in pure, unadulterated anime. You might enter it feeling like a grumpy ole goon, but you'll come out like a shining kawaii star. The gameplay is surprisingly solid, especially for a modern SEGA game, and the weapon design is hilariously cool and over-the-top. Rarely have I been more impressed at a character creation screen than I was while making my robot wizard. The level of breast customization alone makes me feel that it is in the running for GOTY. I really urge anyone with a hankering for some MMO action to give PSO2 a shot. The language barrier is pretty minimal once you're actually in game, with nearly every person on ship 2 able to speak enough English to get by, if not fluently. In conclusion, game owns.

Probably the most important thing to note in this discussion is that the amount of "fabulousness" that your character exudes is really going to have a much greater affect on other players' perception of you than your (mostly hidden (in the closet??)) numerical stat levels. Few things are more fabulous than male robot wizards, and with the right accessorizing, you'll put any slatternly waifish female newman to shame. Honestly, where do you think those girls even learn about fashion and/or magic?

Edit: Full disclosure, I am a male robot wizard irl.

Is anyone using the English story mod? I played the crap out of PSOBB and would love to get into this, but I would also like to be able to understand what is going on.

I am using it. It isn't buggy or anything, but it is definitely incomplete. You'll have a very good understanding of the relationship between various characters through the matterboard and such, as all of that is translated. Pretty much all quest descriptions are translated, but not necessarily all of the fluff text that accompanies them. Various other things may be translated in one case, but not in another. As far as I know the patch currently covers 10 storyline "chapters" and I am still on the first chapter after ~14 hours of play.

All-in-all, it provides enough translated text to give you a sense of the main plot-strings as well as most of the character development stuff.

I'm not sure that having a team really makes any difference at this point. We don't have that many active players, I play a few hours everyday and I've only really run into 3 other forums members. Since a lot of us don't have the same time schedule, and we are unlikely to really pursue the team quests, I don't think it is really something to worry about.

I don't care at all about cosmetic poo poo but pubbies do. Oh pubbies.

You'll quickly learn that you are a minority in this game, even among forum-goers. I pretty much only play to further my transformation into couture monstrosity.
