New PSO E1&2 info

[DarthWufei]

" This week's Famistu reports on a new Episode 2 Area.

The Lab
An area which studies the nature & science of Ragol. Data obtained by other hunters are sent to the governor-general's office in this facility. A quest given by Natasha Myra Lowe's is also found here.

More graphic changes
Expect more graphical upgrades to the city of Pioneer 2. This may include NPC or signboard changes.

Episode 2 Opening Movie storyline
It's been many months since the mysterious explosion on the surface of Ragol. Monsters are mysteriously reviving themselves even after being struck down by the Hunters, this has caused much distress with the citizens of Pioneer 2.

An open communication is suddenly received from Central Dome. This signal was traced to a certain island known as Gal Da Tal from across the seas. The most surprising factor is this signal is transmitted by one of the most important members from Pioneer 1. A survivor at last! The Pioneer 2 government once again contracts the Hunters' Guild into investigating this strange incident with the highest priority & urgency. Many Hunters are now being rushed to the lab to undergo a test before taking on this important task...

Thanks for the info!! ^___^V I really do hope they make the NPCs look better and not necesserally make more areas on P2. Also, it looks like the the VR do have a purpose in the story http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif So far but so close till that day >'____'<

Looks like my speculation about a lot more levels might be true after all. They aren't going to reveal everything before release of course, so there's gotta be yet more after this... Lab.

Whoo!

And on a side note, this new kitten seems very fond of my laptop... only animal I've ever seen that reacts to movement on a computer screen.

Not thus Far, Watashiwa said it seemed like there was 1 level missing from EPII. This would fill that Gap.

*eyes light up* O_O Must play pso...must...damnit...each day goes by so fast and yet that number til release isnt looking any brighter '-_-;

[Parn]

My speculation is just as valid as his. Keyword is "seemed" in his statement, and the speculation is based on Episode II being similar in size to Episode I, which I think won't be the case.

Besides, if there really is a new storyline, I don't see how virtual reality stages (Spaceship and Sanctuary) would play a significant role. It's more likely they were thrown in to give players what they wanted (the battle stages being playable offline).

Keep in mind, we haven't even seen more than one boss, and a handful of new enemies. There's gotta be more enemies and bosses, and I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I of course, can be just as easily wrong as I could be right. We'll see.
