Can NA users play this thing?
Edit:
Yes, but it is a real pain in the ass.
http://www.pso-world.com/ has a walk through including a rough translation. The trouble is you need a physical address inside JP at some point. Yea, thats going to happen,lemme grab my phone book. I mean you could do it, and some other tricky bits too. But yeah, I am not gonna mess with it. It is a real oversight imo not to bring this out to the west.
There will be a Vita version. And I am betting we will see a console(WiiU?) version in a year or two. But I really wanted this on PC.
