After setup is done, the vanilla JP launcher will start. It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you close out of it, and instead download the English Launcher (PSO2 Tweaker) linked above. It makes patching, applying english patches, and fixing the game very easy, along with many additional features!
At this time, most of the English speaking community is on Ship 2, Block 20.
