PSO2 Alpha Test 2: Skill Tree

The mini guide continues with the Alpha Test 2 version of the skill tree. The skill tree has some new skills added and some of the old skills were split in two. A few of these skills can be added to the Sub Palette. Review the miniguide on how to do this.  We'll have a Photoshopped version later, in the mean time, the left most skill is shown first based on the skill's path.

Update: Well it looks like Spellbinder finished it before I did, so you can view the photoshopped images here.

Magazine Roundup!

Sakai talked to a bunch of magazines this week and last week about the plans for this game, we learned a few tidbits.

• When the game officially launches there will be 3 races, but considering it's an online game, sooner or later more races could possibly show up.
• Even if you max out your class level, you won't be able to obtain all the class skills. 
• When you switch classes, you will keep your existing level, but when you change to a  new class you start over.
• The closed beta is planned to start before it gets hot. (sometime near summer…)
• In the OPEN Beta, it looks like he wants to transfer your character data over to the official game.
