Phantasy Star Online 2 is an online multiplayer RPG where up to 12 players can cooperate in a quest to defeat various bosses and enemies. In order to access the online servers, you'll need a SEGA ID. This registration guide will outline the entire process, helping players embark on their infinite adventure.
PC players may download the game for free at the official site, by clicking on the large button with the space background at the top. Alternatively, you can torrent the game from Arks Layer, which includes a set up file with several updates pre-installed (and will download much faster than the official site). You can also download the game (and install the English Patch) by installing the Tweaker from the Arks Layer website.
PlayStation Vita players can download the game for free through the Japanese PlayStation Store. You can then link your SEGA ID to any region PSN account (US/EU/JP/etc) on a hacked Playstation Vita by using an account switcher program after the download completes. An English patch is available for hacked Playstation Vita consoles, along with installation instructions, from the Arks Layer website.
PlayStation 4 players can download the game for free at the Japanese PlayStation Store. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the PC version's English Patch before attempting to play the PlayStation 4 version. An English Patch is not available for the PlayStation 4 version.

画像認証 (Captcha)
Next up is the "Captcha Boss". You solve the captcha by typing the "Hiragana" characters contained in the image. The easiest way to do this is by drawing the characters in Google Translate. Alternatively, you can visit [Lexilogos Hiragana] to match the characters by clicking on them. After you've got the characters, copy and paste them into the box below the captcha. Be quick though, as the captcha times out after a few minutes! If you need additional assistance, you can ask for help in the Arks-Layer discord's #jp-account-help channel, a PSO2 Facebook group or on PSO-World.

how can i get sega id?
I like to know to
They seem to have cut down captcha timeout really low. I get "can't complete the image ID" even if I complete it in 30 seconds.
Thank you for this guide. It was very helpful. I would also suggest using google Chrome for registering for its awesome auto-translate function.
It gives me an error code not displayed at the email registration and the japanese proxy issue is not working.
I never get a email
I cant make a ARKS ID, can anyone still make it? or there`s some sort of problem on me
I need help to change the e-mail of my account
What does it mean? ※氏名か生年月日または秘密の質問を入力してください。
氏名（漢字）
姓 名
Ok i kinda found a translation but i still don't know how to change my e-mail of my account
I think its asking you your name/date of birth or secret question you used in registration. Is there a dropdown list next to it and have you tried entering any of these?

How to change security questions when you've forgotten them? 🙁
> English players can be found on Ship 2, Ship 4, and Ship 10.
And ship 6 as well.
just ship 2, ship 4, and ship 10 has the most english players. Ship 6 have some but most of them are JP players.
there's a decent few on ship 9 as well. not huge numbers, but I've been able to find some.
I've found several actually, both by several teams and by pure coincidence like in EQs, but we have this standard of keeping down-low and not yelling in public chat in English, using just party or team chat instead. It's nice this way because it's respecting the Japanese players who don't want to see English gibberish spammed in local.
Cannot type the full captcha for some reason the text box seems to be limited.
I forgot my password & secrect answer. I haven't use my DOB since I reach my limit I am guessing… So my account is forever doom?
Ship 7 also has a lot of eng speakers 😛
Hey i tried making a new account but it won't even register my email, and i am 100% sure that this email has never been used for this game
thanks for the guide, I found it very helpful. Captcha boss was the real deal, but I finally prevailed! 😉
I used the google chrome translation as well as the guide. The only problem that I had was the "Captcha" at the end. Had 2 fails due to server message on next page. I had gotten used to the characters at this point and registered on 3rd attempt.
Great guide.
Use this site to translate your e-mail(s) after. Just copy from the e-mail and paste into left window here.
https://translate.yandex.com/?lang=ja-en
Don't use caps with your username in English (possibly any other language as well)

I need help with the Sega UD I'm on the jp server please help
Hi i forgot the pass but i know the mail how can i recover the pass?
i was able to register and install the game but when i try to get on an ark ship and i do my id and password in something keeps popping up and it keeps sending me to the website log in what is going on?
Getting a SEGA ID is like getting a card for the arcade games, you'll have to register what game you wanna play. That website is to confirm that you're gonna start playing pso2 with your SEGA ID. Google translating the website should help you through it. (in case anyone have the same problem and stumbled upon here)
dont let me pass for the stem 1 send a error 1038
Hey when I wanted to make a sega ID it says there contains characters that cannot be used
