PSO2 Info Thread(Last Updated 5-18-12) + Beta Registration Guide

I doubt you can use it very quickly/successively, and I doubt it works against every attack.

I think everyone should put all the information we have about this game in one constantly updated first post...

I'm already starting to forget things.

Agreed. That's the best way to keep information compiled.

Yeah, I'm surprised that the exp bar is absent. It is not necessary & wasn't in PSO, but I liked it in PSU & PSPo2.

Can't wait for tech and/or MAG videos!

The bar at 0 is likely the "Trump Card"
Button 2 for Ranger looks like it might be for defence decreasing or shield disabling bullets

[Kaziel]

Really great information!

Thanks for the compilation.

I really hope they remove perfect blocking from the game, honestly.

Works for DMC. Not so much for RPGs. Kind of exploitable imo.

Perfect block: Get lucky and perfect block a bosses attack, wait one second then block again and again. Perfect blocks IMO were a tad cheap, made the game way to easy.

This probably goes without saying, but judging from the video, it looks like at the very least RAnewearls and HUmarls are in--or would this be a premature assumption?

NINJA EDIT: In the screenshots, we see what appears to be a RAmarl that looks like the video's HUmarl--though her name has changed from "Tails" to "Amy"--using a rifle instead. I find myself wondering if this means that appearances will not be class-restricted like they were in PSO and PSZ, or if it just means something else I didn't notice.

I never got lucky. I just knew the timing. I think they should reward you for having that kind of precision. It should be adjusted for sure, but theres nothing wrong with having a small reward system for something like that

Technically we dont know how they're doing class/race yet. For all we know it could be like PSU where class and race are totally separate.

One thing I have noticed is that there is no enemy information window when attacking them. In PSO you would have a frame with the name and attribute:



and in PSU, a name tag at the top with the element, name and level of the enemy:



But nothing in PSO2, so far.

Huh... that's a good point. Though this still is the teaser trailer. Perhaps they'll add it in later.
