PSO2 X FLET'S HIKARI Campaign

FLET'S HIKARI is an ISP that provides fiber optic broadband internet, TV, and telephone services to subscribers across Japan. Phantasy Star Online 2 and FLET'S HIKARI have teamed up to distribute promotional items like 90 days of premium to new FLET'S subscribers, as well as, 'Rikauteri/Licht' and 'Hikari Line Blue T shirts' to those who continue their FLET'S subscription. Since this campaign is not available to players outside of Japan, we are only going to list the items you can obtain through the player shop.

FLET'S HIKARI Campaign Items

リカウテリ／リヒト Rikauteri/Licht (50% Light / Another History)
光ラインブルーＴシャツＭ (Hikari Line Blue T-Shirt M)
光ラインブルーＴシャツＦ (Hikari Line Blue T-Shirt F)
フレッツ光ステッカー (FLET'S HIKARI Sticker)

Now if you do live in Japan. FLET'S has customer service representatives that can speak in English. It would probably be a good idea to mention the PSO2 campaign just in case.
