Editing Options in English

Did you know that you can edit most of the game options outside of the game in English? Check for a file called user.pso2 in the following directory:

…\Documents\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2

If you open this file with notepad, you can edit a whole assortment of options including

Graphics and Shader Settings:

        Draw = {
            TextureResolution = 1,
            Display = {
                ShadowQuality = 3,
                ReflectionQuality = 3,
                DitailModelNum = 12,
            },
            Function = {
                SoftParticle = false,
                AntiAliasing = true,
                LightShaft = false,
                Blur = true,
                Bloom = false,
                LightEffect = true,
                Depth = false,
                LightGeoGraphy = false,
            },
            ShaderQuality = true,

By changing SoftParticle, Anti-Aliasing, Blur, Bloom, etc to "false" will make the game run much faster while using shaders. Please note that the "ShaderQuality" must be set to true in order to edit these features. If ShaderQuality is false, the game will run without shaders.
