Phantasy Star Online 2 Visits The Seabed on November 13th, 2013

Ricardo Leave a comment

Episode 2 which introduced Planet Wopal, will debut a brand new field known as the "Seabed." This field takes place along some ruins illuminated in fluorescent color. Scattered across the field are switches that can change the water level. The Oceanids will become more invigorated if the water is at a high level.
