[Tomeeboy]

The official Phantasy Star Online 2 (JP) player's site has been updated with new info and screenshots for the December 26th content update, which will cycle out the current Christmas content and add New Year's content.

At the moment, it looks like there will be at least seven new costumes added to the AC scratch pool (pictures below). In addition, the lobbies will be changing over to the New Year's lobbies in real time on December 31st at 11:59pm JST (10am EST / 9am CST / 8am MST / 7am PST). Check out the gallery below for a peek at what's coming:

The New Year's lobby will run from January 1st through January 23rd. Also coming in January, will be the new "Arks Clones" content, previously revealed early this month. We'll keep you updated with more information on the these updates as it becomes available!

Yay. Four outfits for women. One for dudes =/ Sega, why do you hate my penis?

[darkante]

A nice sleek Cast suit for once.

[Laxedrane]

It's the Hucast armor from PSO. If not it's pretty darn close.

Also I too am a little disappointed on the blatent amount of clothes for women verse men. Although they won points back by making the outfit crazy sexy looking.

[Fontes]

Not just penises, they also seem to hate mechanical entities. With every update there seems to be only ONE suit for each Cast gender, if any.


ARTIFICIAL LIFE FORMS HAVE FEELINGS, TOO!!! T____T

[Cagedtaytay]

I don't wanna be THAT guy, but you spelled PEEK wrong.

[Tomeeboy]

You are officially "that guy"

[BWS-1]

O MAN, about time we get something close to the old-school HUcast look! That's good enough news for me. I wonder, could I MAKE a character with those parts if I'd pay for them upfront? I'd kinda want to make my proportions based off that frame rather than the PSO2 original HUcast frame...

[vPharaohv]

Damn it, they finally add HUcast-ish parts but I'm way to deep in my non-cast character now.
