You don't need to get spooked. You will never hit limits on SSDs unless you are re-writing to it every minute and that is not happening on a game install. The only real issue will be very big patch sizes.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is out on Microsoft Store

This is exactly why a Microsoft store only was a really bad idea.
Okay, then I'll go ahead and download it. Thanks for the additional info.
Again, not defending how they patch stuff, but please don't over blow this, your SSDs will be fine
Apparently the 11gb downloads a launcher which will download the rest of the game... so don't leave before opening it up to finish the rest of the installation.
Don't worry about, it is practically a non-issue. The SSD write fear is vastly overblown in the post above.
This seems like pretty alarmist fearmongering. It's highly unlikely anyone is going to hit their SSD write limit. Even if it was being patched every day. Which it wont be.
11gb just for the launcher seems wild
also downloading this game outside of it's region is so trivial that it's weird it has the region restriction at all

I imagine it's legal / contractual reasons why we see MMOs so segregated, not neccessarily a technical one.
Installed and ready to go.
Played a bit on Xbox, very excited to actually get into it. Watching some tutorials to be ready. I'm dreading figuring out what the items in my already full inventory are for.

Has this been popular on the Xbox, so far?
I feel like PSO2 finally coming over would be a bigger deal since the original PSO was such a classic many people played for countless hours, but I feel like it's not really talked about much and it gets barely any views on twitch.
Is it just a case of releasing it way too late for US? I mean, it is pretty wild this game initially came out in Japan a year before the Xbox One and PS4... lol

This.
PSO2 has too much Crossover Content for its own good, which can, does, and will trip things up.
Sega and/or MS trying to negotiate distribution agreements for EU or other territories may very well hinge on how well the NA release does first.
Wow, okay. I still remember (vaguely) the early days of the JP client was only less than 20GB.
Anyway, does this have controller support on PC?
I didnt even have to change my windows region (im from EU), i just went to this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/phantasy-star-online-2/9P1RSQ5MGPCR signed into my microsoft account, on the game page clicked the ... button and add to cart (not the Get button), "purchased" it for 0, and then i could download it from the microsoft store app in my ready for installation list
Man wanted to try alas, it doesn't work for me. For some reason, launcher can't create a folder in documents folder, despite me lauching it with admin priviliges
It's 8 years late, so many people likely had their excitement curtailed by Sega's silence on the matter of localization and moved on. That, and a lot of people like myself got our fill in the JP server. PSO was also an innovator in many ways which PSO2 distinctly isn't - it's a fun ARPG with a good combat system and some excellent boss fights but doesn't quite command the same kind of attention its predecessor did.
It will still be an endearing game for many, but Sega didn't quite strike while the iron was hot and I can only hope an eventual PSO3 is prioritized to have a world wide launch instead of this staggered near-decade delay release.
maybe smart people here know what's up? I refuse to belive it's cyrilics in the path, cuz jp doesn't have such a problem as just about any respectable game ever made.
Anyone knows (or tried) if you can run the launcher.exe directly without the Windows store?
I'm thinking of linking the game to Steam.

PSo tweaker people plan to add support for NA version, so probably best to wait for that. There's about 200% chance it will work much better than official stuff anyway.
Unfortunately didn't work for me (UK). However quick change of region settings to United States and it is downloading now.
You can else end up with even more writes on an SSD with delta patching than just redownloading a whole container.Oh yeah I just remembered this.
Windows 10 Store has no Delta Patching, and thus no respect for Write Operation economy.
SSD Users Beware.
Any way to tell this fucking MS Store to install to another location than the windows partition?
I only found out you can change the partition but I want it in a folder of a different partition, not just the root. It also fucks up the partition with lots of folders you can't even erase easily...

Oh my, I played so much Phantasy Star Online on the GameCube with my brother. Gonna send him the link and see if he wants to give this one a try purely for nostalgia.
You can run all apps without the windows 10 store. You never see it again unless you open it up yourself. Only good thing about MS Store tbh.
I had no issues installing it on my E drive instead of my windows install drive. Maybe its a setting somewhere?
Change the region of Windows 10 to United States. Once you start installing it then you can switch it back to your region of preference.
You can change the drive/partition, but not the folder. Microsoft Store is designed like a mobile app store where folders are supposed to be irrelevant.
