Preparing the Game

Installation

When playing the game for the first time, you may be prompted to download additional files. I'm playing using the an Asian PS3 version of the game and I encountered errors when starting the game using my main, (Asian) PSN account. I'm getting error code “Boar”.




After getting the same error even after forwarding my PS3's port, I switched to my US PSN account and downloaded the Compatibility Pack (170mb, free) there. After the Compatibility Pack is successfully installed, the game will proceed downloading the main game data.



Don't worry about the “Transferring Game Content” message. It just means the game disc is installing the 6GB worth of cache to your console's hard drive. Once the game installs successfully, you should be able to start immediately afterward. Enjoy!

Starting the Game

First, you need to adjust your screen bounds, based on the display you're using. Make sure the four edges are visible and perfectly aligned to the corners of your display.



Next you have to set the brightness. You'll control the pointer with your left stick.



Finally, set the Subtitle options to move to the next screen.



In the next screen, you have to select what class you want to play as. Take note that all classes are basically equal. They can use all weapons and will have their balanced sets of strengths and weaknesses. Also, do remember that you can keep multiple characters in one account so you'll get the chance to try out each class if you want to.



After selecting your class, you'll be taken to the character customization screen. The changes you make here are purely cosmetic and won't affect your character's growth, lineage or performance. After customizing your character, you're ready to start the game!
