Is that... Is that Quna?

Does this mean we might be able to see our NPC friends? Yes, no, maybe??

Edit: I've also heard that the anime will be about people playing pso2 the game, kind of like PSO2 On Stage. Guess that's likely to be correct then, judging from the picture.

And there goes the little interest I had in this.
Just screams typical high school kid RPing in a video game... the anime.
We never seen that before. Nope.

Most likely this will be picking up where PSO2 On Stage ended or will be a retelling of that.

PSO2 On Stage was the telling of the integration of Virtual Drive technology, pretty much the same thing our own HardLight620 has been working on with his Virtual Connect project, It's very similar in plot to .hack/SAO where by a player becomes trapped within the game, but it also turns it on its head by asking "What happens when a game character comes into the real world?"

It was ultimately a story about the trials players go through every day, random fights with bosses, having to slay a boss thousands of times to find that one elusive drop they've been looking for, along with finally giving us some kind of answer for how Dark Falz got to Earth if you didn't take the Earth ending in Phantasy Star III Generations of Doom. (Nothing is shown on stage for that, but if you were an evil entity that had just arrived at a new planet, would you go immediately to facing the one you've been fighting against or would you do something to make sure you could take over this world as well first?)

What was that answer? Is it something to do with the 'trapped in a game' plot?

Fucking this. I was hoping we'd get a story like the the one in the light novel, where we got to follow the life of a different character each chapter. Even an original story featuring some brand new ARKS member would have been fine.

There was PSO2 LN?

There was PSO2 LN?

It's called PSO2 Side Stories, and features 4 short stories
Io+Azanami - Why Io became a braver and uses a Bow
Patty+Tia - Just their normal adventurer
Fourier+Lisa - Two character with opposite ideal becoming friend/working together
Zeno - Maria and Zeno, thinking of what kind of Ark he should become.

ITT: crushed hopes and dreams.
Those LNs look nice... there isnt any scan/ translation, is it?
