    2. Phantasy Star Universe

    GameFront, a German Gaming Magazine, has new information regarding the weapons and combat system in Phantasy Star Universe. This sheds a little light on what the gameplay in PSU may be like, and also on what purpose dual wielding will serve. Here's the scoop from the article:

    The weapons are divided into three categories: the Hou system (Rods, Canes, etc.), Hit system (Sabers, Swords, etc.) and Shooting system (Handguns, Machineguns, Rifles, etc.)

    The right hand can only hold one weapon out of the Hou and Hit systems, and the left holds only one Shooting weapon. Only two weapons can be held at the same time in the fight. Examples for this combination include holding a Rifle in the left hand and a Rod in the right hand. Another example includes a Handgun in the left hand and a Saber in the right.

    Magic is executable only with the Hou systems. Apparently, you can't use any techniques unless you have a Hou system weapon equipped.

    Several attack samples in the Action pallet can be specified. You can save your favorite combinations of weapons and attacks. With combination attacks, one can press a key for a '3 hit Combo' which hits the enemy three times, while a '6 a hit Combo' leads to a 'Combo finish', which at the end of the attack the enemies get blown off their feet by its power.

    The special ability of the 'Beast' race is called a 'nano blow'. This changes the beast into a Beastman. The 'Cast' race has to use the special ability 'Sub Weapon' to change weapons into sub-weapons. Not much is known about this at the moment, however.

    We've also recieved information about the heroine Lou. She apparently belongs to the Guardian group and is a spy. She is a Cast, but looks much like a Human. Her age is still unknown.
