Phantasy Star Online 2 @ TGS: New field, boss reveal!

[CelestialBlade]

Read about it here: http://bumped.org/psublog/whats-in-store-for-pso2-at-the-tokyo-game-show-2012/ (thanks Ricardo as always)

Looks like a super Rockbear or something. The new content is slated for "later this year", after Subclasses I assume.

[Zorafim]

It's a caterpillar. The next boss we'll fight is a caterpillar.

Looking through the details... By the looks of it, there's going to be a booth babe in a HUnewearl outfit. I... I didn't even know it was legal to wear those in public.

There's going to be a new demo, with improvements in current areas, new classes, and new weapons. Seems strange that they'll come out with new classes already. I wonder if it's going to be a common thing. We'll be overloaded quickly if that's the case.

Oh! Phantasy Star Anniversary soundtrack! Remixed versions of classic songs? Perfect! Let's see what songs they have...

...

Half those songs are Save This World.

[Garnet_Moon]

Mystery revealed:

[spoiler-box]http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/3695/133784-kingkittansp.gif[/spoiler-box]

[Arika]

look like another version of rockbear to me. Dark rockbear I guess.

[Zorafim]

I'm okay with fighting Starman too.

[Crysteon]

I can relate it to this guy:

Yeah...big spoilers ahead o_O

Dood looks mean. Guess we're getting another Darker boss?

[ScottyMango]

I really hope that's not Falz, cause if that's Falz... that's a pretty weak design for Falz.

[Zorafim]

You're right. He needs more faces.

[Coatl]

Am I the only one more interested in the supposedly free 25th Anniversary Sound Collection? o.o
All I'm thinking is "How to get must get" D:

[Zorafim]

Oh no, free music is awesome. If not for the fact that the same song there is remixed for half the album, I'd be all over it.

[Vashyron]

Yeah it's probably this dude next considering datamined data shows the next most complete area by far is Nab's "Ruins" and a Darker would fit for that.

Still an area called "DarkFalzSeal" to go trough after that though.

Also if anyone wants 'em, the rest of the new Datamined Rare/Enemy Icons - Here. (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9259868/pso2_final/sep_12_enemy_icons.rar)

[Ryo]

Thanks Vash! Was waiting for this!

[Kierto]

Think I'm most likely looking forward to how rushed the story reaches it's 'Episode I' conclusion in time for the Vita release. With suddenly final boss Dark Falz popping out of a Lilipan's heart to devour the universe after you did some nonsense like discover Darker Queen Matoi to be the missing part of that weapon you found in Matter Board 3 or Hilda put oil in Furie's tit causing the Legendary Heroes to spit out Falz's soul.

Then all the datamined info is used up and we can look forward to Determination of the Pioneer: Ragol Costumes Scratch expansion pack.

[methaniel]

I do hope I can give it a test at this TGS...but there is always too many people at this event, and there isn't lots of PCs either...I wonder how long is the play session.
Also what about all those "alternate" ennemies I keep seeing the names in the little Data thing all over the floor on the map? It seems all ennemies will have an alternate stronger version with the name slightly different but have yet to see any of those (guess they aren't implemented yet, just like how they teased us with Team orders, Team room etc...)

[Cry0]

*sees boss*

"Patrick?"

[gigawuts]

Quartz Rockbear? Quartz Rockbear.

I can't wait to see a blue rockbear zooming around and fly way off into the distance, then crash back through an entire team and kill them all in one hit. Also I really want a Quartz Banther.

[ShadowDragon28]

Can't wait for the new stuff.
I am also very disappointed with the tracks on the CD sampler. FFS its the 25th aniversery CD it should have actualy music from the CLASSIC Phantasy Star games pre 2000, like arranged versions of theme music from Phantasy Star I, II, III an IV, not just PSO/PSU/PSp/PSZero. Way too many versions of "Save this World" on it, Wtf sega wtf???

[IzzyData]

Anyone know how to go about getting pso2 on an android?

[ShadowDragon28]

I think one of the data mined icons shows Dark Falz. IF that is Dark Falz, he looks BAD ASS IMO. Since this particular enemy looks VERY close to the design of the classic Dark Force/Dark Falz of the 8-bit and 16 bit Phantasy Stars's design of Dark Force (Dark Falz)....

[youcantcatchtheblue]

It's not out yet, will be out at the end of this year.

[Geistritter]

It'd be about damn time if it really is Falz; I'm still bitter about them releasing an unfinished game. At least let us be able to "beat" the damn thing.

[Ce'Nedra]

I really hope that's not Falz, cause if that's Falz... that's a pretty weak design for Falz.

You clearly missed Dark Falz form 1 on PSU...that was just a De Rol Le reskin >_<

[Blizz3112]

Oh please.. its free, and people are still complaining about it not being finished? Also, PSO/U were mostly based on side-quest and end-game content to begin with...

Ah, this is it, then. You can see the "star" on it's back in the picture Crysteon posted here. Nice, we need more Darker bosses.

Since Ragne is the "king" of the spider-type Darkers, it only makes sense that this hefty fellow looks to be designed as the "king" of the stone-type Darkers. (like a Gawonda that's been eating his Wheaties). Hopefully he's a random field spawn like Ragne.

Need Dark king fish too!

THE GIBBLE GOD RETURNS

The most glitchable monster in PSO 1&2

[BIG OLAF]

Need Dark king fish too!

Well, technically, they're a type of stone Darker. They have the same etchings and skin texture as, say, the Mikdas and Gawondas.

[Coatl]

I would say he's the fish king of the dagachas, micdus and Ga Wondas.
I mean, come on. The boss looks like a big ass turtle. >.>

[Kion]

Here's what i posted before i noticed this thread.



Not sure if this has been posted yet. Didn't see a thread, so here I go.

The tokyo game show will be on September 22 and 23 this year for the open public. The website can be seen here: http://tgs.cesa.or.jp/english/

Tickets can be purchased in advance for 1000 yen and at the event for 1200 yen. But you're probably better off buying in advance if you can go. The Japanese version of the site has instructions for how to buy tickets from Japanese convenience stores. I already bought mine at 7/11, so if anyone has any questions about that, i can follow up.

The location is Makuhari Messe right next to Kaihin Makuhari Station. Link for those who are too lazy to google. (https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=kaihin+makuhari+station&fb=1&hq=kaihin+makuhari+station&cid=0,0,3549998741992696268&ei=lXdUUKCfEu2gmQXo3ID4CQ&ved=0CHIQ_BIwAw)

Sega updated their PSo2 page with information on the show: http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=403

For those who can't read moon speak; naturally they will have PS vita's with a new field that you can play. And a sample of the smart phone app. But who really cares about that the good stuff is this:

On 9/22 from 11:45 - 12:30 Sakai and the director (Mokumura) will be there.
On 9/23 from 11:00 - 11:45 Saki, Mokumura and the directors for both the PsVita and smart phone apps will be there.

Also there will be the Phantasy Star 25th sound collection CD and a buch of other over priced swag that you can buy.

In my perverted opinion, the best part is that they will also have cosplay for characters from the game, a rappy Lilipuff, cute FOnewearl and sexy HUnewearl >.<, will be there to take pictures with.

I'll be at the event on Sunday 9/23. The entire event is open from 10 am until 17:00 with admission open until 16:00. Hope to see you there!


for general information about the event. Btw, who else is definitely going?

[Taigerr]

anyone have link to the live stream please thanks.

[Arika]

Please post picture of those cosplayers too

[Crystal_Shard]

Well, looks like it's not Falz after all. Yay for a Gamera reskin!

Kidding aside, the new ruins area looks like something out of a PSZ . Wonder if the place is a crashed ship, or some ancient Naverius civilization city.

On another note, the cosplayers in the video on youtube are quite... eh. They could have at least gotten a better ear prosthetic or something. The actual ears of the HUNewearl cosplayer can be seen quite easily. :P

[Omega-z]

Coatl & Crystal_Shard your total right that it's a mini darker type Gamera he's a legend in Japan even bigger then Godzilla. It even attack's like Gamera with it jet's, fire, movement ......etc. Even the area you find it is a testament to Gamera too. All we need now are the children.:rappy:

[Enforcer MKV]

Well, technically, they're a type of stone Darker. They have the same etchings and skin texture as, say, the Mikdas and Gawondas.

So....insectoid Darkers and rockfish Darkers.

Eastwood must be the joker Prince.

Aside from the ears the look really well done. The FOnewearl costume looks too big though.

New Ruins area? Where? o:

nvm lolz

For ruins, that is some really lackluster music. I was really hoping for something dark and emotional like Revolution to the Origin, but that just sounds like an extension of the Forest music.

[Crystal_Shard]

Captain Kirk, is that you? :3

@OmegaZ: I was actually referencing your comment over at PSUBlog, but yeah, as soon as I heard the word "kaiju" mentioned in the video, I knew they designed this new boss on their favourite rubber monsters. ^_^'

@ScottyMango: It's probably because we're still dealing with the first planet. Expecting much better ruins to be found on Amduscia and especially Lillipa.

[Omega-z]

Crystal_Shard - about this in your post, "the new ruins area looks like something out of a PSZ . Wonder if the place is a crashed ship, or some ancient Naverius civilization city". Does make me wonder too.

Theory 1:
It's odd that we have Ruin's at the North pole (going off the Gamera bit) of Naverius. And maybe it crashes like a city ship like how Ragol had one (possible connection's are PSIII or Pioneer 3 and PSZ). and in crashing melted the snow and made a new environmental area with Darker's/SEED/etc. and started to process the surrounding animals.

Theory 2:
Seeing how the Ruin's are in the cold area of the planet maybe a group of native's like the Dezorian's form the classic's perhaps. and they get attacked by the Darker's and lose.

Theory 3:
Maybe the Arkz group is really the people of Coral/Earth that left? and these are the different Galaxies they had visited and Maoti is form Gurhal group, So they can bring in Beast's and Duman's to the party. and along the way meet up with the people of Ragol or maybe even the classic's.

Well What ever the place is, It's sure pretty cool.:)

[Keii]

That new trailer. Looking good, can't wait for the second boss fight and the area after ruins.

I'm leaning towards the crash site theory, given the general lack of development/other ruins around Naverius, but I won't say no to a hidden underground city. :3 Maybe it'll tie into the whole 10 years ago incident thing.

[Cranberry]

It would be nice to get that soundtrack but there's just no way I can go to Japan anytime in the near future. Maybe with a little luck the OST will show up on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Kion - Your a Lucky Guy, Gratz. I hope you had fun.:)


Wow saw the new video, The new falz is a mini-mi that kicks your ace...0.0..But most interesting is the intro video with all those broken up ship's look's like Arkz ship.....odd did we going back in time to the event 10yrs. ago?

[methaniel]

Was able to try it today (how nice to be the first in line and get to try the boss without being "spoiled" by other people playing it in front of you while you're waiting)
It's a bit of a shame that you can't choose which character you play (I could have ask the 3 other players but too much of a pain >.>), but Gamera was really a fun fight. We were unable to get it down during the time limit (damage input was pretty low, even when spamming zan while the boss was stunned), but I'm really looking forward the release in-game

[Angelo]

Just a rumor, but someone on NeoGAF claims they heard something about PvP at TGS.

[BIG OLAF]

Well, if that were true, I think it have been somewhere in the presentation videos. Seems like quite a big thing to leave out and only talk about behind-the-scenes.

[Resanoca]

Didn't Patty and Tia mention PvP along with the new classes in a cut scene? It's possible it comes from that.

Either that, or we are all royally f*cked.

If it is present day, all I can say is....Falz, you are in SO much trouble!

[NoiseHERO]

As quick as a lot of fans are to brush it off. They really do seem to be interested in PVP with this game, on the down low.

like ever since they brought the possibility of adding it in, if this game were to come out in Korea(and Korea is the first country outside of japan that got to play this game.) With this game's fast paced gameplay I really don't blame them wanting to consider it. It could draw in more players, other than the cult fanbase.





But it could also be one of those things they subtly hint at and work on. Then get completely taken out at the last minute. But if it's somthing like a side mini-game, nobody will really care and just not play it like past versions of PSO's "PVP."

Of course even with the simple concept of "just don't fucking play that part of the game then" in mind, people will still turn their buttholes inside out from the butthurtrage they'll get just for bringing up the idea of PVP being in this game. Of course that's only here in PSOW where everyone selfishly acts like the game is supposed to be specifically made for them individually so the single mention of PVP becomes a 20-140 page argument. : D

Looks like we have something in common.

[Omega-z]

another thing I notice is that in the begin the fleet is traveling in space (most likely toward's Naverius ) since they are using jump warp tech. to get to Naverius at the moment using there Camp ship's. and the fleet is intact some getting attacked yes ....but destroyed?. But in the video they had reached Naverius form space and the fleet is pretty much all gone, In a battle maybec?. This might be the furture or is it the past? Shinon should know she did she you would save many people's lives.:-?

[EvilMag]

Yeah, sometimes it feels like the PSO die-hards have not played an online game since PSO.

I remember on that one big PSO private server when they finally showed videos of PSO2, everyone was like "OMG ITS LIEK PSU FUK DIS GAME" just because PSO2 isn't a carbon copy of PSO. -.-
