(If Xaeris can make the same post on gamefaqs and psoworld, so can I)

This is the full ruins demo. Scroll down a little on this page to get it:

Video of the forest demo possibly coming later. I got really confused by the strafe button (I kept trying to use it as a targeting button) and how to use the wand (I think you need to hold the button down but maybe not).

As for my impression of the game, it remains the same as what I said before playing it. Gameplay is significantly better than PSO, but still lagging far behind a modern action game. Edit: I saw guarding in this game and nearly creamed myself, but after reviewing my forest demo video it seems like it's just an animation stance when getting hit.

Of course, the difference maker is that this game you can play online, and that should be enough to make the game fun. Offline will still be weak though.

Graphics were ok by PS2 standards. I'm guessing anyone with a P4 256RAM and a 64MB video card or better should 100% get the PC version.

Don't know if I can ask this here but....Would you allow me to post it on my forums if I gave credit? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

i believe the guard is basically the equivalent of evasion in psu. so it randomly occurs.

(Haven't watched it yet) That sucks if it's random they really need to just abolish evp and include a guard function. OR, they could include evp but instead of guarding when your evp kicks in, you just won't get hit be the enemy's attack(the enemy will miss). THEN a guard button could be included, a la Zelda. It's flawless!

How long is this video? I am hoping that my file was not messed up, thus I will have to download it again.

The videos are much appreciated. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I noticed a little yellow bar that went up with each kill you made. My first thought was that it was a meter showing how much EXP you had gained towards your next level, but then I thought I saw it flash when you got hit. It didn't seem to go up after each hit though, just flash. Now I'm not sure whether it's an EXP meter or a meter for some Photon Blast-like special. Can anyone who's played the demo shed some light as to what that does?

Should of ask me to the camera work since I was there for all 3 days. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Anyway the graphic looked blurry to me unless it was the tv but I'll get the PC verison anyways.

Nice video.

I'm downloading the file when I get back home later. It sounds like it's good by the fact no one said it sucked yet.

That whole evp and gaurding thing...if only there WAS a gaurd button because that makes a huge difference, because if you can figure out an enemies pattern of attacking and movement (like you could do in Monster Hunter pretty easily) then you would be able to block almost every attack. Which would be too easy if you ask me.

If you are referring to the in-game camera, I was constantly playing with it using the analog stick.

Thanks for the videos, ecchichuu. They're greatly appreciated. Now, I read in another thread that the music that plays during the battle against De Ragan is a remix of "Growl, from the depths of the earth," the BGM for the battle against Dragon in PSO. Can you confirm this, or were you unable to hear the music well enough over the noise of the convention center?

I know I couldnt hear music. I could barely hear the Japanese voiceovers as is. That convention was loud, crowded, & crazy. I loved it. Still, wouldve loved to have heard more of the sound. Oh well.
