Cool thing:
There's preload and it begins on Mon. Feb. 3.
Crappy thing:
The beta only lasts about 30 hours and I expect many of those hours will be spent seeing a "connection failed" screen.

Yeah I'm 100% completely in the dark about this game and always have been in hopes it'd come to the West...can't believe it is lol.
I have no idea what to expect and I'm excited as hell!

It would be neat if they brought that Switch streaming client for PS02 to the West as well.
good question - also, anyone know if this has cross progression with PC?

No offline mode no.
After all the hype and teasing on twitter for the last few weeks, it's extremely disappointing it is only for a day. Heck, even the entire weekend would be better.
I hate that this is what finally may be the proverbial straw that broke my camel-ass back into buying an Xbox One. Phantasy Star Online was my jam back in 2001.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I'm seriously excited for this. I'm going to connect my Xbox One S tonight and update it so I'm ready for the beta.
One day? That's gonna be rough, especially since most of it will be failures to logon
It's coming to PC
Unfortunately I don't have one o' thems either.

I have a question about this. If I want to register, do I have to enroll my Xbox One in receiving the beta dashboard updates? The app doesn't make it clear if I'll be able to opt-in to the Closed Beta specifically, or if it's an all or nothing Insider deal.
Like, not even a piece of crap work computer? Because this is a 2012 game designed for crappy computers from 2010. I've run this game on a bunch of junk PC's at lowest settings and the game ran fine.
Nah, last PC I owned I had until around 2006. I switched to Mac in 2003 and when the PC I had was no longer competitive I left the platform behind.
But this isn't really the place to get into my platform history.

Still seems strange that this is only on XBox and PC. Who would have guessed.
Is PC getting an open beta at all or just Xbox?

I played so much of this game back in 2012-2013, excited to play it again now that I don't have to worry about the Japanese player base reporting the English folk.
I only need the hub, don't have to be in the insider program with all those updates? I'll give this a shot then.
Will it be X enhanced too?

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. I think even my old budget 750 ti from 2014 could nearly do 4k 60 fps.
I signed up for the Beta on PC so I'm assuming this Beta is also on the PC version despite the PC version coming out later?
No, their messaging has maintained that it is an Xbox beta.
This is from the news post linked in the OP.
Quick couple questions for people who have played PSO2 (despite my love for the original - and disdain for PSU - I never actually tried out PSO2 prior):
The Dreamcast MAG they're giving out. Is this basically like a MAG Cell, where you can use it once, and only that MAG is changed to the Dreamcast form - and is one-time-use?
How malleable are MAGs? Can you respec one, or are you intended to find a new baby MAG and raise it up again?
Assuming that these parts haven't changed from the extant release of PSO2, that is.

MAG's can be given one time use items which permanently change their appearance, and can only be changed by using another one time use item
You only get one MAG in the game and respecing it in case you messed up is stupidly expensive. Additional MAGs cost real world money.
I see. How avoidable is screwing up a MAG in this, then? Do you still have to worry about stat caps for your class+race, or is min/maxing your MAG less of an issue?
I honestly wished this came here 5 years ago, much less a year after Japan's release.
Still, about time.
Just min max whichever specific attack (S/T/R) your build uses. Your attack stat is basically the only thing that matters in this game (besides HP/PP), and even then it's only for equipment. You don't need defense since you should never be hit. Dex is also worthless. Don't make the same mistake I did back in 2012 for my first character and have lived with since :(
Thankfully min maxing is stupid easy in this game. Just alternate feeding it 9 star weapons and 3/4/5 star furniture (weapons increase attack and dex, and dex is bad. Furniture will increase attack a small amount and decrease dex). Then at a certain point, just buy MAG food and ignore the hunger cap and stuff it full. Money comes easy in this game, so don't worry.
