Can't be in Tokyo on Christmas Eve for the "Fan Briefing?"

[Mike]

Perhaps because you have other things to do or family to be with? Have no fear, the PSO2 stage programs at the Akihabara PC Game Festival will be streamed on USTREAM so you won't have to miss any new information! There are two different presentations: one starting at 2 pm and the other at 4 pm. The contents of each presentation are different so make sure to catch them both. But for a lot of people, these presentations are probably going to be in the middle of the night.

The USTREAM channel is: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sega-pso2

[Angelo]

Putting the character creator in the hands of Akihabara slugs. Looks like we won't see any male customization.

[RemiusTA]

Pfft, Sakai was the only guy who actually showed off the male customization.


If we DO get the game and share with the japanese, I'll be more than ecstatic to be one of the only like, seventy male characters of the ----ing population.


The game doesn't even have anywhere close to a release date and im actually getting sick and tired of looking at female characters. Regardless of the character creator they all end up looking the same anyway, and nobody seems to use anything but that ridiculous Hunewearl outfit regardless of their class.

Speak for yourself. I look forward to more slutty elves and breast augmentation.

[Angelo]

It's all about the FOmarl dress <3

But yeah... I'm hoping someone will show off some of the new male CAST flesh faces.

[Aumi]

At least I hope that someone will make a RAcaseal. I think I still haven't seen any Caseal character creation... :(

[BIG OLAF]

Well, balls. My new computer won't be here until January 3rd, so I won't be able to watch it in a productive matter (as I still have to hold a lamp up to my laptop screen to see anything as it stands right now).

[Alena Zouryx]

It's all about the FOmarl dress <3

Quoted for truth!! FOmarls forever! :love:

[Ark22]

For a minute I thought Remius said that. I was about to...."question" him. But yeahhhhNo, it's all about the rangers gals ;D.

[RemiusTA]

For a second >I< thought I said that.

[Jonth]

Ha! Avatar confusion. Funny.

Don't know that I'll be watching these live, since 12:00 am and 2:00 am are a little late for me. Still, since my family is weird and opens most of our gifts before Christmas day, I might have new toys that will keep me up late.

[lostinseganet]

I'm looking forward to the Kentucky fried chicken and yahoo.com suits :)

[RemiusTA]

Well, if its any kind of interesting, i may record the feed again. But i dont think it'll really be worth me staying up again.

[Xaeris]

Can we open a betting pool on what percentage the loli creations will make up?

[BIG OLAF]

Can we open a betting pool on what percentage the loli creations will make up?

I'm going to place my bet on 77%-82% of all female characters made being under five feet tall, with at least DD bra size.

[DuRaL]

gonna be there if i manage to wake up in time and create a loli just for you guys ^-^

[RemiusTA]

Please dont


In fact, make a 9 foot tall chick wearing something nobody wears, like the Ramarl suit.


Or, in fact, make a fat chick. At least Pika would appreciate that.

I feel I should just play a dude character on principle. Plus we have true FOnewearls again, ADVENT OF THE LOLIS. Though, some of the funniest moments in PSO were the off-the-wall character designs. I'm looking forward to seeing new versions of that.:D

Cool to hear about the USTREAM, though.:D

For those in the EST time zone, it'll start December 23rd(tomorrow) night at midnight for the first part, I believe.

[Zyrusticae]

Man, you guys will call anything with a cute face a "loli"...


Meanwhile, I will be making a battle-loli who doesn't have gag boobs (re: flat-chested) and also happens to actually pack the kind of muscle a Hunter should be packing. Except she won't actually be a loli because she's not a child but will probably be called a loli by everyone here because they cannot differentiate between a loli and a woman who is short and flat-chested (or short and big-boobed, apparently, from what's being said here).

Groan. Mutter. Sigh.

[NoiseHERO]

I thought loli just meant little girl.

Flat chested midget women... Same thing.

[Ghost Inside]

*facepalms*
No, lolis are bascially just underage - or at least look like they are - say late childhood early puberty and uh...

Well anyway; If they make more lolis tomorrow I'll just run away screaming!
Creepy japanese people... ._.

Edit: I'm sorry! That came out wrong! I didn't mean japanese people per se:
The lolicons are creepy make me uncomfortable.
Um... There!

[Xaeris]

I seem to have accidentally started some poop. My bad.

[kyuuketsuki]

Creepy japanese people... ._.
I know right. Short women should totally not get any love because just ew right? It's not like, historically speaking, Japanese women would generally be short and not generously endowed. Oh wait...

And, by definition, a loli cannot have big breasts. That completely invalidates the very definition of a loli. Unless, of course, they're just sticking giant boobs on someone who otherwise is very child-like... but that's not happening here.

Only the FOnewearl has any resemblance to a loli, but... she is not being hypersexualized or even somewhat sexualized. And even that's stretching it... she doesn't look all that child-like.

I know it's hard for people to get over themselves long enough to stop moaning about another culture's preferences (not that I'd suggest the video-gaming/anime-consuming population of Japan represents the general culture, it's more of a sub-culture really), but you people should really try it sometime. They're not going to prevent you from creating whatever character you want when you do your character customization, so... get over it already.

I thought the stream was tomorrow, great news for me since I don't have a damn thing to do today.

Question: Will there be anything new showing or will they focus on what's been reviled in the past couple of days?

I'm pretty sure its just showing customization, so whatever they have on customization so far (I think cast faces and 1 other thing are the only thing new with customization)

[RemiusTA]

I honestly have no interest in seeing anymore character customization. They need to just release a demo of the creator already. I'd rather see work done in other areas.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Just to get the thread back on track, I'm hoping for a surprise announcement about the urban area we saw in the trailer a few months back being added for a later phase of alpha 2.

[Cayenne]

As much as I'm sick of it myself, there will be HEAVY focus on this, just wait...

Damn this fucking piece of shit old-ass laptop... the stream's choppy as all hell for me... ><X

[RemiusTA]

the fuck is on this guy's head



Since it's on Ustream, i dont have to record it. Good.




QUITE A STERLING ARGUMENT YOU HAVE MADE THERE, GOOD SIR.

MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?


You wanna argue with me about lolis? Seriously?

Har har, nah i'll pass. Lets just watch the live feed full of old musicians.

[Blueblur]

So has anything of note been shown?

[RemiusTA]

Just pictures of what looks like sound production and orchestra. I think someone translated "Same orchestra from PSO".


Which is Jessica Alba to my ears

[Blueblur]

Sweet trailer. Looks like Sakai's going to talk about Alpha Test 2.

[RemiusTA]

Long story short:

- My Room looks awesome

- Awkward mouth movement during Cut-in chat

- Looks like a few animations changed, don't quote me though

- Still saw some PSU animations

- Rangers dont seem to move any slower than before while shooting

- Graphics overall look much better to me.

- But the feed resolution is shit, so do not quote me.





- The music is fucking awesome.



Now a giant stupid rappy is on the stage and they're discussing what looks like action figures i dont care about. They're probably done showing stuff.



Artwork of a Fonewearl (go figure) with breasts (go figure) saying merry christmas. Its actually a very nice picture though.



Sorry to everyone who didnt see it, i was filming but the resolution was so terrible i decided to just not waste my time. (I just looked back at what i recorded and realized it wasnt that bad. Now i wish i didn't press Stop like a dumbass.) Just know, the game looks bloody fun.

[Mike]

Looks like some of the monsters may have a "champion" version. Some of the mags looked like Ogi's head.

[Cayenne]

Did the ranger do a flip over an enemy or was I seeing things that weren't there because of the low quality stream?

[MegaZoneXE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtS4_n4LlCc&feature=youtu.be

[pikachief]

Someone pointed out that in the bottom right corner of the customization screen there is controls for what appears to be "X" "RB "LB" and 2 thumbsticks. The RB and LB are also in the same shape as the 360's bumper buttons and the X is in a blue circle like the 360\


[spoiler-box]
so it's good to see that it already is pre-made to support 360 consoles when you plug one in ^^;
[/spoiler-box]

[RemiusTA]

They added Redo/Undo buttons. Looks like you can also go backwards through Randoms you happen to choose incase you liked one.



- Gets to female cast morphing

- Tit screen

- something in japanese that probably said "YES, CAST BOOB SLIDER IS HERE"

- *laughter and applause*



Man what am i even kidding, this game is in perfect hands, this guy is epic and sega needs to take my money

The XBox 360 controller and those based on it (like the Logitech F series) are pretty much the standard controllers on the PC nowadays, so it's normal for the controller buttons in the UI to be the XBox 360 controller buttons.

The trailer from the first showing with all the gameplay.

And yes, someone indeed saw the Ramar do a flip off that ship.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_vEzEMJSdY

Looks like they're discussing what they've changed since the first alpha test, in terms of Combat.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkX7OnEO79E

Item synthesis system. I really can't find anything to immediately complain about.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8J4SUCKeHI

What they changed about the menu interface. <3 the shop menu.


The skill tree is especially intriguing to me.

[PrinceBrightstar]

I capped both events and I'll work on uploading them once they're encoded.

[RikkiBlackNanobeast]

Me, I only just recorded the BGM that played before the first stream. ^^;

I look forward to seeing a high quality version of this. :)

[RemiusTA]

Believe me, so am I.

they'll probably release it tomorrow or something making my upload utterly pointless, but the stream + recording + youtube really raped whatever was there. But it didn't look much better than that video on the stream at all.

[Fayorei]

lol




lol

Hahaha I know right? :P

Also, thanks for the short notes(and Youtube links). I had to miss it tonight since I had other plans. The fact that they're using the same orchestra as PSO is the most exciting news for me. Music made part of PSO.:)

[ShadowDragon28]

omg. Gothic style room available in "Room Customize" menu. OMGDOWANT Sega take my money!

[RikkiBlackNanobeast]

Here's the mp3 of the music that played before the 1st stream started. I didn't really much know what to call it, I'm sorry to say, but it's better than nothing.

[RikkiBlackNanobeast]

You're not the only one.

[redroses]

Oh man, all this information is awesome!
I love that you have three rooms in My Room, I can't wait to play around with that feature (and d'awww, your mag will also be visible while you are in your room. I will love having mags back, nothing better than a companion like that!).

Cast character creation is also very nice, love it that they can have every color in the world as skin color. Finally I can have dark grey skin like magashi. lol.

God, I can't wait to play this game!

Thanks Rikki! Sounds amazing. Looks like the soundtrack will be up to par with the original PSO.:D

[maxx69]

Ok, so the first show was about the music and the second was about the room, gameplay, character creator, and so on?

Just asking to make sure I didn't miss anything.

For those who haven't seen the second, just youtube "pso2 fan briefing" .

[kazuuya]

Big thanks to RemiusTA for the Videos!

Actually I woke up at 6 AM and turned the stream on, but I was so tired, that after 20 minutes I turned it off again and went to bed. T__T I only saw the CGI Intro Movie. lol.

I am very pleased of the other stuff though! The "My Room" looks pretty nice, it's cool that you'll have 3 rooms + balcony! Also the CAST creation was cool. It's great you can give them whatever Skincolor you like. (I'll go with delicious blue skincolor again. Lol.) The new Boss Dragon Monster thing looks cool too. I really can't wait to play this game. ;A;

And in my opinion this presentations were a nice Christmas present from SEGA.

[NoiseHERO]

OMG I was working on that art contest the other day and got like no sleep, so I got completely knocked out and missed this ;o;

Oh well.

Is it uploaded somewhere?

/looks for it

RemiusTA posted some Videos on Page 6 of the Thread. And you can also see some Stuff on the Phantasy Star Fanblog too. Or you just search a little on Youtube!

[NoiseHERO]

Oh man, thanks for the vids, Rem.

That CASTs creator looks soooo much beddur. /laughs at ghost hipster cast with horn rimmed glasses popping up on the random generator

Definitely liking these new hairstyles too.

Oh and that new opening was awesome, but... kind of reminded me of a naruto opening... (Random anime parkour through a forest?) I guess they get away with it because of Sonic...

And those PSO theme remixes gave me a shiver, music is finally getting interesting... even though a remix is kind of a cheap shot in this case.

[Corey Blue]

Awwwww yeah.

[GCoffee]

The intro is starting to grow on me, if just for the badass landing scene. Besides, they are not just pointlessly running through the forest, but actually trying to run into the giant spider as soon as possible. Neato.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Color me impressed.
1) Nice work with the My Room concept <one of my favorite PSU features>
2) Glad you can customize skin color for Casts <my favorite race>
3) Ability to Synth multiple weapons together to make one higher % one? If this is true, I'm on board again. I just hope that the elemental system is not the same as it's been.
4) Stereo3D is great too!!!

>>>saving $$$ for PC now>>>

[NoiseHERO]

Actually said Naruto opening was the season where they chase 5 evil bandit guys that kidnapped sasuke through the forst... Which was a major part of the story... And...That means it's more than just "go and kill the giant spider in it's own habitat because we don't like it's face-

BUT WHO CARES I hate Naruto.

[GCoffee]

How could I forget; for all the crap that followed it, that was the best Naruto opening ever. Or more like the only one I would remember up to this day?

[Ark22]

If I wasn't straight I would sleep with every PSO2 Dev team for this. Yeah I am that determined.

[Malachite]

I want this, bad. Every time they release something, it looks better and better.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Updated with part 2 (see above)

[Enforcer MKV]

[Aumi]

Holy crap the opening sequence is epic! D:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tklbSaGj1mk

Higher quality version of it, I think.

[NoiseHERO]

Warning do not watch the opening on a big screen TV, you WILL get made that there's no "press start" button...

And Finally the concept of the laser diamond swimming pool makes sense.

I think someone was bitching at me for questioning it a few months ago.

[Xaeris]

Holy crap the opening sequence is epic! D:

On a sidenote, I'm surprised a FOnewearl can keep up with a HUmar in a dead sprint like that, but okay, that's cool.

[Aumi]

Just watched the presentations. Finally some Caseal customization, though I would have liked to see more customization of their outfits...

[Cayenne]

I want this game NOW!

Also, I don't receive anymore newsletters from SEGA since i signed up a month ago, does that mean they figured out I have a fake address and won't land me an Alpha 2 pass?

BUT WHO CARES I hate Naruto.

Actually, it isn't Dark Rayne (the spider)'s habitat. I remember reading that the Darkers are an "evil existence expanding in the space", and that they're most likely minions of Dark Force; we'll probably see an explanation of why the more "native" creatures are in an uproar and why we're attacking Zaudons (the king monkeys) on sight. Perhaps Dark Force's "influence" is similar to the characteristics of SEED-forms in PSU. Not necessarily the "Dark-cell" pathogen-type phenomena, but it's likely that where there are Darkers there will be hostile and/or "infected" native creatures to neutralize.

I just went on a tangent. In short, the giant spider doesn't belong in that environment, hence why we have to kill it.

I'm not a fan of Naruto myself.

That is beautiful.

If we actually get to do movements like that in the game, I will play it forever. Forever.

[Enforcer MKV]

I agree and approve of this statement. :P

I'm pretty sure we won't lol.

Pretty sure it's just 'hey look at this cool cgi'.

[BIG OLAF]

I'm curious to see what the opening sequence is, but I don't want to watch it until I get my new computer, and can fully appreciate the video.

[Zyrusticae]

I'm pretty sure we won't lol.

Well, we can at least do a front-flip, as seen when that ranger jumped off the wrecked ship in the in-game trailer...

And I demand to see my character dive during loading screens to the level.

I want this game NOW!

Also, I don't receive anymore newsletters from SEGA since i signed up a month ago, does that mean they figured out I have a fake address and won't land me an Alpha 2 pass?

Kindly asking, can someone answer this?

[RemiusTA]

The last mail i got from them was on December 15th. So im not really sure, but i doubt they'd remove us from the newsletter for something like that.

[Zyrusticae]

I think that was just the ranger's verison of a dash.
Nope, the ranger's version of a dash is a tuck-and-roll. I'm 100% sure he actually just jumped forward in that shot.

I wonder if DarkRagne will appear in many or most areas of the game, seeing how it is the breed machine for the Darker minions and is confirmed to appear in both the City and Forest area, already.

[Cayenne]

[xmoonprismpowerx]

Kinda disappointed about the character animations and the room items I saw... There's some of the same stuff from PSU, which I don't know if thats good or bad yet. And is there going to be more animations than the ones from PSU? Im talking about lobby animations. Just kinda feels like the effort they should have put into making PSU good into making a reskin of psu. I'm pretty sure (hopefully) that there are a lot more perks to pso2. Before yelling at me, just know I am pretty uninformed

And is there going to be more animations than the ones from PSU? Im talking about lobby animations. Just kinda feels like the effort they should have put into making PSU good into making a reskin of psu. I'm pretty sure (hopefully) that there are a lot more perks to pso2. Before yelling at me, just know I am pretty uninformed

They did say that they were going to introduce new animations, but not for the 1st Alpha. I doubt we'll see anything new for the 2nd either.

Yeah if you see anything that directly ripped from PSU it's temporary.

Or at least that's what they say for the animations and emotes.

I wouldn't be surprised if some stayed though, apparently PSU even has some PSO emotes. Then PSZ has that dance emote from PSU, maybe SEGA's just lazy on that...

That's good to know. It makes a lot of sense to just use those temporarily since they have them, but we need the butt-shaking dance from PSO. It's awkward and amazing. And I think the female dance from that was just stepping side to side. But bringing back awkward rump boogie would be quite nostalgialicious.

Also, on the newsletter thing- the last one I got was from November 30th, if that helps anyone at all.

Or just good fanservice! ^^

Ok, good to know I'm not alone, just hope I do get the invite.

Hope you guys all had a good Christmas. I added 8 new videos from the fan briefing to the alpha video thread.

Merry Christmas!

The game looks fun though just watching the characters in the film jump out of a portal and dash looks like they are trying to get the adrenaline pumping. Character customation looks plentiful and I can't want to tinker with it when I create Noblewine. The soundtrack sounded great and I wonder if any tracks for PSZ or PSU will make the cut.
I don't know much about the combat but I can tell I am going to enjoy it since it faster because of the ability to dash and combo.

The opening movie has been added to the official site: http://pso2.jp/gallery/movie/ A few stills from some of the other videos have been added too: http://pso2.jp/gallery/screenshot/

Why you look so damn good FOnewearl?!?! Gah, now I will have to make one.

Agreed, this bitty is fine.

Man, you guys will call anything with a cute face a "loli"...


Meanwhile, I will be making a battle-loli who doesn't have gag boobs (re: flat-chested) and also happens to actually pack the kind of muscle a Hunter should be packing. Except she won't actually be a loli because she's not a child but will probably be called a loli by everyone here because they cannot differentiate between a loli and a woman who is short and flat-chested (or short and big-boobed, apparently, from what's being said here).

Groan. Mutter. Sigh.

Don't worry. I don't think that is a problem. Tynselle has been a character on here for 5+ years, and is definitely not mistaken for a loli. Enough people recognized that character as a somewhat lesser-developed adult, with a major attitude and a bit of a twin gun fetish.

For this game, I definitely want to go FOmar, this time. A class I never really played until Phantasy Star Zero. Not sure how well you can customize them, but I think I can come up with something unique enough, even with the limitations. I certainly did back in PSO.

Her design really is awesome. My first character will be a caseal, most likely a RAcaseal, but one of my characters will definitely be a FOnewearl.

[Blueblur]

So the only default costumes they haven't shown are for the RAnewearl and RAnewm, right? I noticed they weren't implemented in that version shown during the Akihabara event.

10 minutes wasn't really enough time to make a decent character xD
but i love the functions of the editor, it's really detailed.. in the full version i'd probably sit 10 minutes on the breasts alone ;P

won't be able to play the game, tho.. PC-only ftl

Yeah. I definitely want RAnewm to look like it did in the first trailer. That outfit looked awesome, though there aren't any good screencaps of it. I think I might have spotted it on the "Settei wall", but I'm not so sure....

Yep, definitely there. First row, third column.

It's all about the FOmarl dress <3

But yeah... I'm hoping someone will show off some of the new male CAST flesh faces.

FOmarl looks really nice, but it's HUmarl's outfit that has my attention. So cute, so cool! <3 Hahah...

But in serious mode here... running animation for the casts!? Yes, please! >:D

There will be an option to choose Hover or Run in the future.
