So here’s a clearer video of the one that was shown in the Dengeki Event, titled “PSO2 Closed Beta New Elements.”
Closed Beta Features
Now the lobby from the Alpha Test has expanded into two areas. There’s a Gate area and Shop area, with some new facilities like the Medical Center.
New weapon category, Partisans that has a “twirl” move which can fill up the “gear gauge.” It’s quicker than the sword and can hit surrounding enemies.
Launchers, it is heavier than the assault rifle, so you can’t move and shoot at the same time. Its projectiles can give explosive damage.
Talis (Cards), like a shooting weapon, you can just throw it to give damage. Or, you can throw it and cast technics off of it.
Mags, an artificial life form that grows up when you feed it items. It can attack enemies directly if it becomes a “Striking” type Mag. If it is a “Range” type mag, it can shoot from a distance from the player’s position. It can offer support to the player too. You can add certain actions to the mag by giving it a “device”.
Photon Blasts, by filling the blast gauge, mags can transform into a mythical beast and fight alongside with the player.
Another new element is the Story, so let’s look at our first glimpse of a story character.

Her name is Zion (Sion)
When she appears, she says some strange mysterious things to the player. You can see her talking within these screenshots but her speech slightly odd. She gives the player something called a “Matter Board”, this thing seems to be important in advancing the story.

Her voice actor is Megumi Ogata, she’s best known for playing Shinji in Evangelion. In fact at the media briefing, he will introduce even more voice actors.
(I have to say, Shougai’s prediction on voice actors were spot on…)
