Article: Phantasy Star Online 2: Boost Enemies and Concept Art

[Ryna]

The official Phantasy Star Online 2 blog was updated earlier today with new concept art and information about "Boost Enemies." Boost Enemies have previously appeared in Phantasy Star Zero and Phantasy Star Portable 2. Compared to regular enemies, they have enhanced stats and have improved odds on certain item drops. The screenshot below provides an example of what a boost enemy will look like in Phantasy Star Online 2.

I'm really glad to see hommage being made to the original PSO character designs. <3

[Crazyleo]

I would tend to agree on your statement Alena. Now I am wondering if Sega will bring back Section IDs.

[Zarode]

What the hell is going on with that ape's eye?

[Ark22]

Looks gigantic

[Shade_Koopa]

Nice, they've shown all the concept except for the HUnewm. Where the heck is the HUnewn.

[Alex Longstride]

It's got a Darker attached to it. Attacking that red cluster does more damage.

Haven't seen concept art, but there's pictures of him in action if you check google image search. He basically looks like the Hunewm from PSZero.

I really love the concept art. It's certainly a new take on costume, i'm still left a little worried that all the screens thus far...every costume looks so metallic. Fair play flaunt your new lighting effects and gfx engine but when everyone looks like a cast...iunno. Then again if JP PSU is anything to go by they'll be a huge selection of clothes over time.

Man, that ape thing is really mean looking.
It makes me want to fight it right now. XD
