nothing much, just to paste 2 new scans for PSZ

http://www.gconsole.com/newstaff/phantasy0/ps0scan.jpg

-this mentiond new range weapon called "gunslash","shield" and "bear hands"
-gunslash = when you attack enemy from far, it is a gun. when you attack enemy near you, it will slash as blade.
-shield, you know use for protection, but you can also thrust enemy.
-bear hands, it including kick!
-a few weapons design are showing here. the one that look like triangle is slicer.

bear hands

Sweet, finally my right to 'bear arms' is enacted in a game.

Can't wait to see what the new slicer design looks like in action.

I was just about to post these. Anyway, can anyone translate the character creation options or any other fun things from the article?

[Gurou-kun]

I was hoping these were better scans than the ones posted over Gonintendo, anyway
The customization options are:

- Head type (4)
- Hair color (3)
- Costume color (5)
- Skin color (3)
- Voice type [8]
- Mag color (5)

It also says that is possible to leave your character unvoiced (thank god), unfortunately you can't adjust the proportions.

Hey, great thanks.
I thought you could also change eye color since the HUmar here has green eyes and i could swear I saw blue eyes on on the HUmar in this scan: http://i35.tinypic.com/ig90g9.jpg
I guess its tied to head or hair color

The rare weapons they show on the second page include:

* Double Saber
* Double Scythe
* Eight Ounce (boxing gloves, nice!)
* Pretty Parasol
* Olga Claw
* Red Saber

EDIT: I just noticed something odd about how they categorize the weapon types on the first page.

Striking
* Swords
* Spears
* Sabers
* Double sabers
* Claws
* Daggers
* Shield

Ranged
* Handguns
* Machineguns
* Launchers
* Rifles
* Bazookas
* Gunslash

Magic
* Rods
* Wands
* Slicers

Wait... what? Slicers are now magic-type? o_o

Wait... what? Slicers are now magic-type? o_o

This is an interesting development. Assuming that they behave roughly the same as their PSO counterparts, then what we have is a ranged weapon capable of using techniques! I dont play forces myself, but that is pretty cool.

Also, I just realized we rangers are getting Launchers AND Bazookas, a good thing too, considering that the only thing I actually enjoyed about being a Ranger in PSU was those launchers!

Somehow, I would have expected Bows to show up in this version. Especially with the "wild west" atmosphere.

Love the bayonet look of the gunslash. Also love the potential of the shields. Wonder if they'll be low POW weapons but with high DEF/EVA bonus. I hope they come into different sizes and shape. (Give us the Standstill for nostalgia's sake)

Edit: What weapon type is the one in the second row/first column? The one that looks like a Kukri or machette? No pic of a spear? I hope spears are better than the partisans in PSO. (The ones I used felt like weaker versions of swords)

Magic
* Rods
* Wands
* Slicers

Wait... what? Slicers are now magic-type? o_o

...Now I'm intrigued. Can we get a translation of the text above the shown weapon categorizations, or is that just a basic "There are a bunch of weapons, here are the basic types" sort of thing?
