Some prelimnary data-mining has taken place on the upcoming South-East Asia version of PSO2, which is due to start its Closed-Beta soon.
Many of these names concern unreleased content on the SEA servers and as such may change before they’re released. Some names may well just be a first-pass effort and haven’t been cleaned up or checked by editors. Regardless, let’s list some of the more significant ones!
I’ve chosen to list a few which remained the same just because. This is by no means a complete list of all the names in the client. There are a few inconsistencies with names in various places as well (where for example a Client Order may spell an enemy name differently to its appearance elsewhere).

I made a mark against the pair of Vardhas listed because that name is precisely the one that the English Patch team came up with. While that could be coincidence, this has occurred before with enemy lists inside the data-mined alpha PSO2es client a while ago. Is someone at Sega using the patch themselves, perhaps?
Incidentally Wizard is totally the official name for the Force class now.
I also like the name “Lagomite”.
Credit goes to Agrajag for digging them out and him and Qwerty for going through the names.
For more information about the SEA version of the game, you can find the official site here and the Facebook page here.
Lagomite sounds like some form of Lillipan energy drink.
haha nice one
One can of Lagomite, and Neptunian sammich please
Sad. It would be far better to retain the original names as closely as possible, translation permitting, and change only those which it makes the most sense to change. Anything else is doing the existing fans a disservice; Though yet another of these from the horrendous handling of the international deployment of a Phantasy Star series game would come as no surprise at all.
Oh well, games need to evolve, after all. Hopefully the SEA server will follow a freemium monetisation model, so we at least still have the option to experience this incarnation of the game world before voting with our dollars.
That is so bad, even the fan-made patch seems okay compared to this…
No kidding.
