We've discussed it in the skype channel, but nothing posted on the site about it.
Some pretty big news about PSO2 has been dropping, first and foremost, its coming out on PS VITA as well as PC, and Sega is "trying" to ensure that PC and Vita will be cross-compatible. Awesome! The PSV release won't be out till 2012, though. They've also confirmed the game will be FREE to play. You can download the PC client for free (and to the Vita a well?), and we can most assuredly assume there will be premium upgrades for costumes and weapons and crap, par for the course with F2P games nowadays. Sega also announced that there will be a version of PSO2 for iOS and Android. QUOTE according to Andriasang, Sega promised "social game elements," and simpler controls and character creation. Data will be shared between the phone and PC/Vita versions, but crossplay will not be possible. This version is due winter 2012, between the summer PC release and the 2013 Vita release. I wonder if the "Shared Data" is specifically your character, or if its like a side-game with Mag Raising or some shit? And now Most importantly, they're releasing a BETA, first they're releasing a version of the character creator on April 5th (boob sliders!) Later that month they'll hold a private beta for 100,000 invitees. I don't know how to register yet, but I'm sure Donkey can figure it out. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/26/try-phan...eation-april-5/ http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/26/phantasy...g-to-smartphon/ http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/12/vita-pha...begins-in-2013/ http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/09/phantasy...h-pc-crossplay/ -------------------- |

Here's Vitamin D, Kaz, and myself squaring off with the Vol Dragon for the first time (or 2nd time, I don't remember). Wish I spent a bit more time with the beta but so far, it's pretty damn fun. It definitely has that PSO vibe to it with a bit of Monster Hunter mixed in. Oh yeah, the "free field" missions are the shit. These missions are just your typical PSO run through. You go in, kill shit, proceed to the next area, then eventually teleport to the boss. What makes these missions awesome are the random encounters with big mobs. For example, we were rummaging through the volcano area, killing the standard monsters that spawn then all of a sudden, the fucking Vol Dragon comes up from the goddamn ground. Shortly after we put him down, some fucking catadoran spawn (they're wingless dragons that can extend themselves). These guys were bosses in one of the volcano missions. Then we still had to kill the Vol Dragon at the end of the mission. This happened all in one play through. In another play through we randomly encountered this big insect boss (I forget it's name...). After we kill it, another one spawns. Interrupt events that randomly happen during a mission, with a voice that goes "EMERGENCY: CODE..." followed by: ATTACK DUEL - Usually a battle with a boss. RESCUE - In my case, I was captured then put inside this dome-like thing and D had to come and rescue me lol. We had to break the dome but it took a bunch of hits to break free. Enemies were spawning also. COLLECT - Basically collect whatever that needs to be collected. ELIMINATION ARREST CHANGE OVER - I think this happens when a bunch of emergency codes overlap. PROTECT (I think it was protect anyway) - In my case, I had to protect this downed npc airship until they repaired it. Some things I like:
