NA Xbox Version will log in without prompt for password like JP PC.
That's a console thing not a regional difference thing. Playing PSO2JP on PS4 & Vita also skips the log-in process.
Shirona's Treasure Shop is not available.
Isn't that what the fresh finds shop is, a replacement for the "treasure" shop?

Let me know if there's anything else I should add to this list.
Love the content mate. Quick question For Successors/Scion Classes Is it 2 or 3 classes at 75 to unlock? Im reading its 2. But my peers are saying its 3.. Just looking for clarification from a vet.
@Y1-Mythoclast It's 2. If memory serves me right, it used to be 3 on the JP version quite some updates ago.

I think I noticed another one. In JP server, sub-classes can gain some XPs until level 70. But in NA, the limit seems to be much lower. Probably level 55, which had been the limit in JP before they raised it to 70.
Maybe this is a logical consequence from the level cap of 75 in NA, but I didn't expected this X(

This is really interesting to see.
Thank you everyone who worked towards the differences list.
If someone hasn't mentioned it yet, Successor classes are "Scion" classes in the NA version. For Terminology Changes.
@Cathy , we can narrow it down a bit. A few things only appear to have 'changed' due to us being used to the Fan Translation. If we narrow it down to what actually changed between the actual JP term and the NA term the list might be more manageable (e.g "Gettemhart" becoming "Gettemhult" would not count as a change since even in JP his official spelling is "Gettemhult")
@Leonkh99 thats still a long list
Darker > Falspawn
Dark Falz [Double] > Dark Falz [Gemini]
Massive Hunter > Hunter Physique
Limit Break > Overload
Freeze/Poison Ignition > Freeze/Poison Detonation
Rare Mastery Class > Arms Enthusiast Class
Gear > Focus
Point Assist > Summoner's Mark
One More Jump/Showtime > Encore Jump/Showtime
Every Single Braver Photon Art
Dual Blades > Soaring Blades
Gunslash > Gunblade
Just to name a few.
@Leonkh99 Then maybe Practice Quest falls into that category. I feel Practice Quest for Japanese "็ทด็ฟใฏใจในใ" is a pretty faithful translation.
And on the main topic. Another difference which might affect the gameplay. The login bonus on NA is different from what JP server has now. The latest login bonus on JP server was introduced in a 2019 July update, the bonus before the update seems to be identical to the current NA login bonus. As the latest JP bonus includes bonus quest tickets, probably this change was necessary.
Aside from the BQ tickets, Augumentation Aid +40% and Color Change Pass are some of the important items which NA server is now missing. Hope they upgrade the login bonus when bonus ticket becomes available! 
Edit: also confirmed that sub-class growth stops at level 55. After reaching level 55, sub-class can't earn XP anymore.
