Some may be familiar with Phantasy Star Portable and Portable 2 which received English releases, however 2 Infinity never did. Personally I really like this game and it's quite a considerable expansion so I thought it was a shame no patch has been released so I decided to take a look. Phantasy Star Online 2 has been out since 2012 in Asia but never made the jump to English-speaking countries officially until now, sort of. The Southeast Asian version up until a couple of days.

Less than a month ago, its sequel Phantasy Star Online 2 was released as a free-to-play MMORPG on PCs. It will be released outside of Japan early next year, but why wait?

Phantasy Star Online 2 was released on July 4, 2012, on the PC in Japan and will be released outside of Japan early next year. Stay tuned to Kotaku East for the import preview later this week.
The translation patches are wonderful creations. However, using them breaks the Terms of Service for PSO2. (Illegally modifies the game files.) Use the patches at your own risk.
Has anyone been banned for solely using these patches? Short answer: No, there have been no reports of people being banned solely for using the English patches. The only players using the English patch that have received a ban have earned it through other means - cheating, RMT, spam or verbal harassment.
**Final note: If you feel the need to link a screenshot of the game and you do have the patch, please run it through an image editor (e.g. MS Paint) and hide your name. This is recommended so that your account is not easily tied to the fact that you are using the patches.
If you are installing for the first time however, it's recommended that you use the updated setup file here. The preferred method to update the the game itself and the translation patches is through AIDA's Tweaker. The Tweaker is capable of automatically checking for updates and installing updates for the following items: the game itself (including pre-release data), the translation patch, item patch, and much more.
NOTE: To translate the game/item names, you have to launch the game with AIDA's Tweaker. The Tweaker also stops the need for torrenting patches or game files, as it downloads directly from Sega's servers and tends to be faster than Sega's launcher/updater.
For instructions and resources to translate the PSO2es/smartphone version, see here.
Please see the Tweaker's install patch options.
