Nov. 25th Official Blog

[Mike]

The official blog was updated tonight. The two big topics are the character creator and icons. The character creater is much talked about and since no new information is mentioned about it on the blog, I'll just leave it at that.

The new info is on some of the new icons. As some of you may remember, the icons in the first alpha weren't very popular and have been changed as a result. The first of the new icons were uploaded to the blog.



These are some of the weapon icons. Sword, rifle, and rod. The coloring of the backgrounds represent the type of weapon: orange = melee, blue = ranged, yellow = tech.




Items have taken a step backwards to their PSO-stylings. These are the icons for monomates, dimates, and telepipes. I can attest from personal experience that the mate icons were difficult to differentiate.




Finally are some photon arts icons. Rising Edge, Bind Through, and Grenade Shell. These icons have been changed to a simpler, easy to understand design. Tech icons will also get a similar redesign. Icons for skills will have a brighter background than techs or PAs so you'll be able to tell the difference.

Love the item icons and the rest are real easy to see.

Good job SEGA!

The new icons look much nice. Seems like they're higher resolution or something. They look less... Flat.

Thanks for sharing, Mike!

Things like this are what make me have faith in this game. They actually listened to what people had to say and fixed it accordingly. They simply could have said: fix the icons? No. But they did not, you have my respects SEGA.

While the new icons are nice, I'm hoping to see the new gameplay in action (relatively soon). Things like the roll and such. I don't mean to sound negative, I'm just....more worried about how the thing plays.

Unless that dart/arrow looking skill is something new/for a new weapon (Maybe a crossbow or bow and arrow.)

I think the skill icons can still work on not being confusing to look at.

i liked the old weapon icons better. Everything else is a good change.
