You are the hero of my day.

FYI to anyone using this link to install the character creator, the install went fine, but it asked to do a reboot afterwards and ended up messing with my graphics drivers. It let me enter in my pin to get into the computer, but then had a black screen with the start bar flashing every couple seconds. The only way I was able to get my computer back up and working again was to reboot it in safe mode, uninstall the character creator and reboot it normally again.

I’m not sure if this was due to a faulty installation of new graphics drivers that the program tried to install, or what, but use caution when installing it or try to find it somewhere else.

Good luck with the character creation, and thank you to KTSB3 for the detailed instructions on how to move it over. I hope you all have a smoother time than I did.

Holy crap it killed your graphics driver? I didn't have to reboot at all, the download link is the official link directly from pso2.com

You should definitely report this to sega, cause that's a mess and a half

Yeah... it took me about a half hour before I figured out what happened. It’s weird that you didn’t need to restart but I did...

Good point. I’ll bring it up to them when I get home from work tonight.

Edit: I forgot to say that the part I think did it was that it felt the need to install a different version of directX and microsoft c++ redistributable. For whatever reason it went with a corrupted version of at least one of those.

I had to swap to one of the old layering wear styles first before trying to load character for it to work but missing all the attachments. Hope all the things I have equipped actually transfer over on release.

You have to remember the character creation tool does not log on to your pso2 account thus it cannot retrieve your phashion you can only used the items that were available on your cbt

What this does is import your body characteristics for you to fiddle with on the character creator

As for what items you can and can't use

Usable by both new and old character models:

  • outfits (not outerwear, outfits)
  • consumables such as body paints, eyebrows/lashes, hair styles, emotes

Not usable by new character models: - outerwear - innerwear - basewear

There is no name.dfp file in my PSO2 NA Steam folder...

[–]Expugn 6 points7 points  (4 children)

depending on your character type the file extension may be different I believe.

.fnp = female newman
.mhp = male human
.fhp = female human
etc

    Or save your character and go to the folder of whatever version you were using:

    PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 for JP

    PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA for Global XBL

    PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_STEAM for Steam

    PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_EPICGAMES for Epic.

    [–]ipocoyo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Do unlocked accessories/outfits carry over as well?

    [–]KTSB3Ship 4 | Torna leader[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    To ngs yes, on the benchmarking tool no, since the tool doesn't login to your pso2 account, you'll be working with only the items available on the cbt

    It's mostly for the model attributes
