PSO2 event and new footage at Dengeki 2012 Thanks Festival

[Mike]

According to Shogai, there will be a playable PSO2 demo at the Dengeki Thanks Festival 2012 in Akihabara on the 18th. There will also be a talk show with Sakai and some new footage too. And luckly the entire event will be streamed via Niconico Nama so you don't actually have to fly to Tokyo to see any new info! Shogai seems to think the video may be some beta footage.

Details
What: PSO2 talk show with new video
When: March 18th, 3:40 - 4:00 pm (in Japan)
Where: Stream entrance here
Bring: A Niconico Douga account. You'll need to be registered to watch the stream and even then Niconico Nama can and will kick non-subscribed accounts for subscribed accounts.

Vashyron's recording:

Spoiler!

Some of the info I can recall:

• Mags can attack by themselves based on their stats.
• Mag feeding works like it did in Zero. You can feed them weapons and armor.
• SPECIAL WEAPONs may return as a techer is a possiblity for the new city
• Mags have the same stats that characters have + an "energy" meter
• Additionally, mags have an "Auto Action" and "Trigger Actions."
• Trigger Actions look to be similar to what mags did in PSO when certain conditions were met (boss, low health, PB full).
• Auto Actions are things like physical attacks, shooting, or techs.
• Mags can be given "devices" that accelerate their evolution.

Hm. Sounds pretty sweet but I don't think I'm going to stay up into the wee hours of the morning again like I did with the media briefing. That is why Youtube is my friend.

Just making sure... but that'll be 11:40 PM Pacific time on Saturday, right?

I'll stay up for that.

EDIT: Oh wait, isn't that St.Patrick's Day evening? I may be too intoxicated out of my mind to retain any info.

[Spellbinder]

I'll actually have time to go. That's a first.

[D-Inferno]

I'm just going too get the info on this when I wake up on the 18th (US time zones).

^this.

I'll be in Vegas for March Madness with a group of friends wasted out of our minds.

[SELENNA]

I'll wait for Mike's report (lol)

[Tetsaru]

Hmm, so is this video supposed to be up tonight?

[Vashyron]

It's already running, 2 hours and 14 mins from this post for them to start talking about PSO2 though.

[Spellbinder]

I totally overslept so I'm not going to go. :P Yay for niconico live stream.
