We already know we're going to be seeing an updated build at TGS this year, and people who visit the stand will get a chance to walk away with a pretty cool mouse pad, but what else do you expect will be revealed?

I'm betting on a release date for Japan, with a big fat TBC for NA/EU.

So, what do you guys think we'll see?

trolled me by making me think more info was revealed. <_>

but yes, a release date would be nice. still waiting on FOnewearl and FOcaseal swordplay gameplay though.

Precisely that. Hopefully with pricing as well.

Alternatively, you could create a HUnewearl or a HUcaseal, and disguise them as a FOnewearl or FOcaseal, respectively.

I just want to know when the open beta starts.

When is TGS?

At the end of this week, I believe.

I expect them to explain "Global Servers" a little more in detail.

Did they ever even bring that up again?

If they ever do... I'd expect it to apply more to us either way. Assuming we get an announcement anytime soon.

I'm thinking they could announce more weapon types, maybe mags....and basically elaborate more on everything they've already told us.

That'd be nice, anyway. But yeah, pricing, release date, press release saying the NA/EU servers.....may actually get support.

Nah, who am I kidding, that last one isn't gonna happen. :lol:

^This. Doubting any new info. at all, other than possibly a release date for Japan.

I'm gonna go with this. Unless they decide to release the game for all regions at about the same time, which is a slim-to-none possibility, they'll probably just give a Japan release date. But hey, the sooner the final build comes out, the sooner we'll get to see about that client language option and if it really supports other languages.

I highly doubt they will. Sega never takes global stuff seriously. They beeline straight to maximizing Japanese profit, and then do everything else as a "meh might as well" kind of thing.

I dunno, they might at least talk about some new stuff, even if they don't show it..

Maybe.....

Hey, I can dream!

For anyone that was curious.

Tokyo Game Show is the 15th - 18th of this month. It's business only the first two days, then open to the public on the following two days.

If they make any announcements, I would expect them to happen the first two days when the press is there.

They said they would announce the Beta dates during/after TGS.

any chance of live streamings of the TGS?

nevermind, EA will be hosting one.

That just means that they will not announce it before TGS lol.

It is not quite the same build. There will be a few more costumes in the TGS version.

The official Sega stream will be available on Ustream though the link isn't up yet.

Truth be told if these guys wanna drum up press for this puppy TGS will be the place to do it, especially with a wanted 2011 launch it's pretty much their last public display forum of ANY importance, least i THINK so lol.

Hoping for a release date, and clarification on the whole Global server thingamajig they were spouting off about, besides that some juicy new drool worthy in game combat footage, a few new weapon animations perhaps.

All an all I just hope that Sega takes advantage of TGS and get's the word out, this suckers is gonna kick ass, it's gonna look like poetry in motion, be FUN to play, and the mistakes of PSU will NOT BE REFRUGGINPEATED.

Only time will tell though.

I hope the TGS build or BETA will show MAGs... but more suits for each race and class type is good too.

Ask yourself - in 5 years what will you remember?

Your homework assignment about biology (or whatever) or watching the glory of PSO2 at TGS2011. XD

I would personally remember this occasion over some lame generic assignment.

If you enjoy waiting in lines and pushing through crowds of large smelly men, I would say TGS.

He represents where PSO fans fit into this gaming generation.

Did TGS actually start yet? If it didn't that would explain why its rather empty (even if it did start its not open to the public yet.)

Also I'm pleasantly surprised they made a fancy setup for it instead of a minor booth.

The business part of the convention starts later this morning (right now its 1:30 a.m. here).

The restricted business part of the game show is today and tomorrow, the portion open to the public will be Saturday and Sunday. There's supposed to be a presentation on Saturday at 12:00, hopefully I will be there to pick up some information.

There's no way PSO2 isn't stupid popular already, judging from PSP2's success.

Seems like a nice booth. Gonna be a lot livelier when they open to the public.

Lots of various pictures from SEGA's area on their TGS page...

Some PSO2 stuff already. Pictures constantly updating.

Edit: We witness today the bonding of Dragon Sakai and the Rag Rappy.

Edit 2: Seems like older pictures have disappeared from that page...If someone happens to encounter the full list of pictures, start posting.
