Category: Phantasy Star Online 2

Enjoying the show? The first broadcast revealed two new trailers. One featuring a CGI Movie and the other featuring an orchestral long version of the original Phantasy Star Online theme. It was very exciting full of high energy. The new trailer showed off some more images of the new interface, My Room, a boss named Kyatadoran, and more of the city area.

Morning everyone! Phantasy Star Online 2 will be having a live stream on Christmas Eve 2011 at 14:00 JST and 16:00 JST. You should watch both because the content will be different in each event.

Broadcast Details

• Live on Sega Ustream
• 14:00 (12.24.2011 12:00AM EST) featuring Sakai with Sound Director Hideaki Kobayashi
• 16:00 (12.24.2011 2:00 AM EST) featuring Sakai with Game Director Kimura

This is especially interesting that Sega uses an international site instead of Nico Nico to stream the event, I wonder what that means? Anyway, each part will feature new information and new media for the fans so you definitely should watch both.

But for today's porori image, it's the new interface for the main menu!

The menu and icons have changed

 

Do you notice any changes here?
What about the status display?

 

Will there be more images carelessly revealed at the live event? Maybe you should watch and find out!

What happens when you fail a grind?

 

Shougai posted minor info about grinding from this week's Dengeki Playstation. The grind's (+value) goes down and you'll have to pay again to strengthen the weapon.
