Gamefront.de (http://www.gamefront.de) has put up two new V-Jump Scans. PSO-World is mirroring them for your convienence. This issue of V-Jump has revealed new information about a new offline "Extra" mode and the character creation process. The idea behind Extra Mode is that you'll be able to create your own character for the offline mode and use Ethan's friends as your teammates. Scroll down to read more about Extra Mode and the character creation process. Also, be sure to click on the magazine scans to see larger versions of them.

In Extra Mode, you'll create a character to fight freely along-side Ethan's teammates in any area you've visited while playing through Story Mode. Also, you will have a Partner Machinery (sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2367) to help you on your adventures. As you give it items, it will eventually evolve into a humanoid-form that will accompany you into battle. Your party can be made up of any of the characters that you've met in Story Mode and from which you have received Partner Cards (sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2357#Partner).
It is speculated that your Extra Mode character will be seperate from your online character (similar to Phantasy Star Episode 3). However, there is nothing in the article that says anything about the issue.

To create a character for Extra Mode or online gameplay (sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2357),you will have to go through the following process: Choose a race/gender combination for your character based on each one's strengths and weaknesses.
Create a face for your character. You'll be able to customize a number of different facial features.
Customize your character's height and proportions.
Select your character's outfit by mixing and matching jackets, pants, and shoes. Also, you'll be able to select a voice-type for your character. The voice type can be fine-tuned using a voice pitch slider.
