Phantasy Star Online 2 Gameplay Video and Screenshots

Wait... we get to jump now?
</br>
AWESOME!!!

C...cant m...move too m...much.

Monster 1: What's that hopping up and down on the horizon?
Monster 2: Hunters, they don't walk or run anymore, just jump excitedly.

No offense, graphicly looks fine, but its coming off as a more generic MMO now then anything, same generic Hit numbers, tiny Gui, the ability to jump now, and the forest looks a little liner, lets hope this is just an early build, and they try to have some diverse monsters, and not reuse animations of multiple models, as well as recolors

Playing PSU never quite did it for me. The casts looked too organic and not robotic enough. The new humans went from looking like mad court jesters and gruff biker chicks to looking so overly saturated with cutesiness that it wasn't a matter of if but when I'd start hitting my head against the monitor. As for what I've seen from PSO2 so far, I'm not too thrilled about the new human hunter outfit but it seems to be a step in the right direction. Overall, I remain optimistic that there will be multiple aesthetic options to choose from and that those options will be ones that bring back some of that PSO goodness.

Generic or not is fine to me as long as it has the awesome adventurous feeling from the first PSO I'm happy.

Agreed, I think we need to keep optimistic over several early alpha screens and a short video.

I wouldn't mind if they took a note from Vindictus and allowed grappling, or at least had a photon art that allowed me to throw things. Maybe I have a rage problem, I don't know

I personally liked the organic look, but in my head- I just wanted some sort of cast-like parts for my RAmarl.
I think casts did look like robots, but they didn't feel like robots, if that makes any sense. In PSO, they had better vision, regenerating parts, built-in trap dispensers, etc. In PSU, they were basically humans with heads that rotate differently.
I would love to see some cast-only parts, making me more like a tank XD

FINALLY !!! we are going to to have a REAL RPG to deal with here :P !! CAAAAAAN'T WAAAAAAIT !

All of this has me SO hyped! PSU made me want to cry after playing PSO for so long. But the music in this video is PSO like, the combat system seems ALOT more fun, and the character skins...So awesome! 0.0 I hope they keep consistantly releasing content to keep the hype up!

Meh...grappling would be a let down to me wouldn't feel PSO-like.

Those boobs defy physics... I APPROVE!

I really hope they bring mags back

Thank you Sonic Team for going back to the PSO style armor. One of the biggest disappointments for me in PSU was character design, and I'm very happy to see them going back to a style more appropriate for the type of game they're making. HUmars in tank-tops and gym shorts looked absurd. The speed of combat looks fun, and I always welcome jumping in online RPGs. Here's hoping they give us something to fill up that action bar with.

I hope they do both, adds more varity to character customization

Me too! I didnt see mag on them but they should

Maybe they use a different system... Also... jumping! That's some getting use to... XD ...

Agreed. I love PSO for PSO.
Yep... if that makes any sense.
I hear people relating it to Vindictus, Blade and Soul, Tera. Particularly all games that
I think are pretty bad. Or at least, not something I would enjoy

That was the first thing I thought too. I was wondering if anyone else noticed the "generic MMO" interface. Hopefully the gameplay will make this irrelevant.
