I know that this was from last december but my friend showed it to me. The most important part is the second paragraph, last line.

HEADLINE: Phantasy Star Universe

BODY:
The hottest place to meet your friends in 2006 will likely be a
gleaming space station hovering above the Ragol star system. As the
true sequel to Sega's pioneering online RPG Phantasy Star Online,
Universe threatens to monopolize a terrifying amount of your free
time. Seriously, even casual players can expect to drop at least 100
hours on the multiplayer action: Although it's not a Final Fantasy XI-
style massively multiplayer affair, you'll still keep coming back to
explore its gorgeous futuristic dungeons, smite killer bosses, and
amass a never-ending array of cool items.

Sega's been avoiding full disclosure regarding details of the online
mode, but we now know that you'll have six players in your party and
that you'll be able to change your abilities and weapon preferences
as you play, which should mark a big improvement over PSO's limited
class system. You'll also be able to craft your own weapons, armor,
and items and sell them to other players.
Sega has no qualms when it comes to chatting about PSU's single-
player adventure, however. "PSO didn't concentrate on its offline
game," explains Director Takao Miyoshi. "PSU has at least four times
the content, with a huge 40-hour quest, hours of spoken dialogue, and
an epic story." And since a shocking number of PSO owners never even
dabbled in the online action, at least those guys will have a meaty,
worthwhile story mode to tackle this time. P

Oh wow, I see now, I completely forgot about them and their item creation stuff. But I don't recall on hearing about them creating weapons, if it was posted I must have forgotten.

Yes, you feed it, it will make items for you. Then, you can use whats spit out to upgrade items like weapons. Seemingly endless possibilities. Do ya love it or what?

Yeah, it's old.. and as I'm sure you know, it's also somewhat inaccurate. You won't be in Ragol... this isn't a sequel to PSO... the crafting is done through PM's... and there's been quite a bit of info released concerning the online mode - even before the party limit was offically revealed.

Just to name a few things...

Oh yeah I noticed that, I didn't care, I just thought there was a new way to make weapons or something.


Can someone please lock this topic?
