So, I've been seeing these icons on Network Mode videos and images and am wondering what they actually represent? I know that the top right icon is network traffic. I'm just unsure of these other ones.

the shield means that the servers are currently in beta/testing stage or whatever.

Also I think it has something to do with the whole luck thing and leader icon? *shrugs*

the leader icon is different, it's that orange star thingy icon in some pics.

Of the bottom 3 icons, the center one is mission info, and the right one is mission completion screen. Basically when any sort of information is sent to you (including say, a guild card or a trade request) an icon appears down there, and you press Z to select it

In the PS2 version it's L2, and in the Xbox 360 version it will be LT. I believe the 360 version's was pictured in a screenshot.

Hi guys! does anyone know what is the little icon under your character HP/exp display?
I'm on PS2 but I can't seem to do anything with it. :

I have no idea what that icon is, Wakaba, but I have noticed that it changes when I press the Shift key.

Anyone know what those 5 bars are underneath the XP display? I've never seen mine filled like it is in this pic.

If you're a CAST, the bar will fill up at which you can activate your SUV weapon.
If you're a Beast, it's Nanoblast.

The icon beneath your bars indicates whether your F-Keys are in Shortcut Mode or Menu Mode. If its a chat bubble, it's in Shortcut Mode, if it's the little i-looking icon it's in Menu Mode. You hold Shift to temporarily switch between the modes, and hit your F-Keys to access either the menus quickly, or your Chat shortcuts.

Nifty, thanks!
Also explains why I've never seen them fill up, being a Newman Force and all....

The shield doesn't mean the game is in beta/testing it means the player hasn't paid for online yet. In the JP version of PSU(and PSOBB) you get a month of free time before having to enter any payment information. Once you start paying the shield is removed. Though in the JP blue burst you couldn't pass level 20 while in your trial period.

I've got a question of my own:

Is there any way to change the icons on the PC version's UI? The "Z" menu means nothing to me when I don't press Z to display it's contents. Similarly the "down" and "right" attacks are confusing when on the (mapping taken from PS2) controller it's actually using the up and left action buttons!
