PSO2 JP: No Maintenance (12/30/2020)

Lostbob117 6 Comments

Happy Holidays, Arks! There will be no maintenance this week. Campaigns will be posted tomorrow as they are posted on the official site.

Next week will be the Yakuza Collaboration along with the return of SPACE MAGATSU to start off the new year. Later on, we'll be receiving the new graphic engine in February, a Screen Shooting Studio, and Arks Ship Fire Swirl Refinement. I'm sure the next PSO2 Station!+ will go over these, so check that out on January 23rd to learn more.

Looking toward to NGS, we'll no longer be actively updating certain databases on our site. I do plan to eventually update the PSO2 Roadmap. NGS Closed Beta (JP) is coming up soon! The dead-line to sign up is January 4th!

This year, we've been trying new ideas for posts to freshen things up such as the [Revisiting the Phantasy Star Series] posts. The last part of that series will be coming early January so please look forward to it.  We'll continue to always look for new ways to freshen things up, and any feedback regarding the site is welcomed.

Thank you for all your support up to now, and we hope to see you all in the New Genesis!

Even More PSO2:NGS Gameplay Footage

Ricardo 36 Comments

Planet Halpha: Central City

New gameplay footage was shown during the Phantasy Star Online 20th Anniversary stream! Comedy duo, Nasu Nakanishi, explored Central City during an Emergency Quest notification. Within Central City, you can explore a variety of facilities and conference areas. Utilizing double jump, you can reach on top of the buildings, and see the city from new heights. You can even run atop the castle walls surrounding the city.

 

The Adventure Area

From the city, you can simply run out into the adventure area with no loading screens at all.  Here you can fight enemies, such as the "Alters," who resemble the natives from PSO2. In fact, one such native, the monkey-like " Oodan" makes an appearance under its new title, "Oodan Roa." There's also enemies reminiscent of the dragonkin known as "Lizard Feurei" and "Lizard Ice," who appear to release elemental attacks. 

 

If a fellow player becomes incapacitated, you have the ability to revive them with a Moon Atomizer.

 

Eventually, Nasu Nakanishi made their way to the "Dolls" where they fought a Shifta buffed "Gororon."  These rotund enemies can release long-distant shockwaves from their bellies as well as perform spindash attacks.

 

We also got a brief glimpse of an Emergency Quest area which can randomly spawn on the map.

 

The Tutorial Cocoon

Scattered across the field are "Cocoons," that hold instance quests. One such quest, known as "First Steps," gives players a tutorial on some of the features they may use on the field. You can perform the Photon Dash by holding [RT] while moving. If you wish to perform a Photon Glide, simply hold or press A during a double jump.

 

The Phantasy Star series iconic, "Photon Blast," will also make a comeback. Just as in past games, you must fill the blast gauge during battle until it begins to glow. From here you can activate the attack by either selecting it within the sub-palette or by pressing its shortcut key.

 

Shigeki Nakanishi also demoed some more of the character creation aspects of PSO2: New Genesis.
