I'm surprised no one posted about this... In any case. Here's info for those that did apply:

QUOTE

The first round of closed Beta acceptance letters were sent out today by Sega of Japan. Anyone that received an email is now eligible to participate in the closed Beta that will begin on April 20th. Several additional rounds of acceptance letters will be sent out in the coming days.

If you are chosen to be in the beta test, your email will contain a username and password. You will be directed to go to this webpage to download an installer program. The installer program will then prompt you for the username and password. After that, it will begin downloading the Phantasy Star Universe setup file. It is 555 MB. Install the program just like you would with any other Windows program. Once the install is complete, you will be prompted to start the program. Since the servers will not be up until the 20th, there is not much you can do yet. Also, it is likely that you will have to install an older version of the DirectX 9.0 runtime in order to start the program.

According to this news entry on the Beta page, the beta will go from April 20th to May 10th. The servers will only be up during specific time periods. Since the game is still in the beta stages, the servers may go down without notice. A "Play Guide" and special BBS will be made available in the near future.

I was accepted ! :D

Apparently he doesn't seem to care about regulations, so it could be his loss but everyone's gain. Here's the link to his vids. I think they're worth checking out http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?top...=20&start=15&28 Some comments: I noticed some minor changes from the demo I play at digital life. Daggers seem a lot better this time around. I like how everyone is using a different weapon, which seems to be more so due to personal choice and not neccessity. It makes for a more varied experience. The dragon's fire does long term damage. I like how everyone plays very cautiously around the dragon. I guess getting schooled a few times by its feet teaches us a hard lesson. When I fought the dragon, it was a total breeze, so I 'm glad they vamped up the difficulty. The enemies in the open garden are far more agressive, as apposed to when I played the demo. Still, though, sometimes it seems like those tiny enemies stand around and scratch their ass. Then again, considering that these are regular enemies, it is a massive step up. Faster paced action and smoother controls make for a superior experience, and things still seem like PSO. I'm kinda excited about the possibility of new enemies. Sinows and Ep2 Dels would keep the pressure on constantly, but given the new fluidity of PSU's controls, I wonder what new punishing foes we'll just have to pwn in the future?
