    Here is a Famitsu article on it that has tiny bits (maybe) of info that we didn't already have, depending how well you can push it into an online translator:

    http://www.famitsu.com/news/201107/26047317.html

    Things I hadn't yet seen but am interperating from it:
    Naberisu Woodland is the first planet
    283 years since Oracle apparently embarked on this 'explore the universe' deal
    They keep going to new planets to explore, but suddenly the animals/aliens there got violent
    Arcs are already in several galaxies

    (I love plot, so I'm always on the lookout for more! And not much of it is yet revealed)

    I also really like how they address the grinding issue (Called "WorkPlay" by trans) and how they'll solve it.

    Multi Party (the 12 players scenario:
    Not active all the time...and the article calls it "unexpected encountering of other parties" So, you make a team w/your friends, and everyone's chillin' along when suddenly an event occurs and now you're randomly combined with other teams from the same "lobby"?? That's the impression I got.

    Well there you go. In those 283 years, Casts have gained the ability to use Techs.

    Problem solved.

    .
    I thought (and hoped) this feature was in the game & I certainly got that impression from the screenshots we have with all the different players. I think it's a very good idea & should make things interesting.

    Shougai PSO posted a synopsis of information from the latest issues of Famitsu and Famitsu Connect!On magazines. I did a translation of it all here: http://forum.psupedia.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1512

    Long read, but lots of good details that weren't touched on during the briefing!

    Courtesy of Shougai PSO, here is a synopsis of the latest PSO2 information as published in the July 27 issue of Famitsu Connect!On and the July 28 issue of Famitsu.

    Game server specs
    * There will be several servers, each known as a "world."
    * Each world is independent of the others.
    * Different worlds cannot interact with each other.
    * Essentially worlds are as they were in PSU. (EK note: Though they are now known as "entrances," originally they were called "worlds.")
    * When you start the game, you can choose the world you want to belong to.
    * You can create characters on multiple worlds.
    * They are considering the ability to move a character from one world to another as a future possibility.
    * If you want to play with your friends, make sure you all decide on a world to start on!

    Races
    * There are three races, however...
    * Sakai says, "this is an online game, after all, so we could always decide to increase that number."

    Skill tree
    * This system is used to learn class skills.
    * EXP earned goes toward increasing your class level.
    * You accumulate points by leveling up.
    * By using these points, you can learn class skills.
    * Class skills can only be used on the class you learned them with.
    * For example, a skill learned as a Hunter cannot be used by a Force.
    * Even if you max your class level, you cannot learn all skills.
    * You will have a limited number of points to put toward skills, so individual skill combinations will vary.
    * The ability to redo learned skills is under consideration.

    Wired lances
    * This weapon cannot be used to throw larger enemies.

    Rods
    * You can link three techniques to a rod.
    * Only linked techniques can be charged (for stronger attacks).
    * A technique's power, range and effect change when charged.
    * PP cost does not change for charged techniques.

    Learning photon arts and techniques
    * Disks are used to learn photon arts and techniques.
    * Disks have certain learning requirements.
    * Requirements are stat-related, for example, one may require 50+ TP.
    * Unlike PSU, there will not be a limit on the number of PAs or techs you can learn.
    * It is undecided if you will be able to return a learned PA or tech to its disk form.
    * The ability to transfer disks to other players (such as through disk restoration) is under consideration.
    * Disks will appear with the level they teach displayed. For example, "Razonde (LV3)."
    * High-level disks will of course be very powerful.
    * High-level disks can be obtained as enemy drops.
    * Low-level disks will include tutorials.
    * Low-level disks can be bought at shops.

    Jumping
    * You can perform common and just attacks while jumping.
    * It is unknown how photon arts will work while jumping.
    * Techniques and original combos will change while jumping.
    * Range changes will occur while jumping, for example with original combos.
    * You can jump on the backs of enemies.
    * Most enemies have a weak spot on their back.
    * There are some enemies that, if not knocked down, you will not be able to jump on their backs.
    * On the other hand, there are other enemies that, even if not knocked down, you can still jump on their backs.

    Original combos
    * You can set different photon arts to the three parts of a combo.
    * Combined PAs will let you pull of three-part combos. For example, Tornado Break to Spinning Break to Gravity Break. Also, you can perform normal attacks between all of those.

    Interrupt events
    * Event occurrence locations are not set in stone.
    * There are some rare events which can occur.
    * Due to the wide range of enemy levels you will encounter, expect drastic changes between difficulty levels.
    * Even if you fail an event by not meeting all of its conditions, you will not suffer a penalty.
    * You will receive items and so forth for successfully completing an event.

    Incapacitation penalties
    * If you are incapacitated, your individual grade will fall.
    * Results are on a character-by-character basis.
    * For example, if Mr. A dies, Mr. B's grade will not be affected.
    * In short, you don't have to worry about being blamed for giving your party a bad grade!

    PSE and PSE burst
    * There is a new component known as "photon sensitive effect."
    * There is a fixed probability of PSE occurring while you continuously defeat enemies.
    * Attack power, drop rates and Meseta drop quantities are all boosted for a fixed period when PSE occurs.
    * If you acquire an "evolved drop" (details unknown) from killing an enemy, you get even more boosted attack power, drop rates and Meseta payout.
    * If consecutive PSEs occur, you can perform a "PSE burst."
    * Bonuses from a PSE burst last for one minute and include even higher drop rates and highly increased number of enemies that appear.
    * You can extend the PSE burst's duration by killing more and more enemies.

    Multi-party areas
    * Certain areas allow for up to 12 people to play together simultaneously.
    * However, this doesn't necessarily mean that you are limited to three parties of four people each.
    * For example, 12 individual solo players can all gather in these areas.
    * It is possible to reorganize your party in a multi-party area.
    * For example, if you have three parties of four people each, players from each party can transfer from one party to another.
    * At first you can have the following parties: A1 A2 A3 A4 / B1 B2 B3 B4 / C1 C2 C3 C4
    * But you can swap players around like so: B1 C2 A3 B4 / C1 A2 B3 C4 / A1 B2 C3 A4
    * In multi-party areas, support techniques will only affect your party.
    * There are some techniques that have cross-party effects, however.

    Drop items
    * Drop items are decided on a character-by-character basis.
    * Each character can get different drops.
    * Item drops are based on real luck.
    * The system is similar to that of PSZ and PSP2i.

    Units
    * Units exist in this game.
    * They can be equipped to your arms, back and legs.
    * Units can be additional costume parts for your character.
    * When equipped, units can change certain visuals of your costume.
    * Units can boost abilities such as defense and attribute rates.

    Mags
    * Mags exist in PSO2 as living, evolved protectors.
    * Details on them are scarce at the moment.
    * Unfortunately, they will not appear in the alpha test.

    EXP
    * Whether or not you receive EXP is determined by your range to an enemy.
    * If you are within the enemy's range, you will receive EXP.
    * If you are out of an enemy's range, you will not receive EXP.
    * This may be a counter-measure for multi-party leveling.

    Visual lobbies
    * Event billboards will be in the lobbies.
    * There will also be a large screen theater.
    * Motion pictures of some sort can be played on the theater screen.
    * This feature will be active during the alpha test.

    Your room
    * A feature similar to PSU's room will be in PSO2, but details are unknown.

    Reincarnation system
    * A system of this sort does not exist. No comment was made as to if it would be added later.

    Mags are in, Techs are weapon-linked, PAs are learned a la PSO and loot is dropped a la PSP2i.

    Everyone can start celebrating/raging now!

    What really got me interested were units and the possible inclusion of other races in the future (probably Beasts or other)
