Sega mentioned that crafting and PSO2 Meseta gathering would be getting an overhaul, and while we did not get a look at crafting, we did see how much nicer it would be to snag items within the field. Gathering can be performed on the fly, very similar to Dragon Hunter: World. Get close to a product, and just tap a button. Fruit can be picked from trees, you will find fresh docile creatures that may be searched for meat and other items and healing items are found through the property as green luminous indicators called Resta Signals. It is much more intuitive than the present game.

It's only quicker, more mobile and smoother. There are no more Perfect Attacks; instead, it's more like contemporary action games with combos and counterattacks. Dodging and blocking is liquid for all classes too. Certain classes may observe a difference in play. There is no longer attacking in the atmosphere indefinitely, so expect to be on the floor more dodging and countering. Attacks and PAs are set up the exact same way they are now with specific buttons performing specific attacks or the 1-2-3 system. As far as PB's go, since Mag's won't be part of gameplay anymore, they behave more like Complex Photon Arts, that were introduced in Japan's PSO2 with Episode 6. Rather than summoning a creature, PB's will rather be a huge attack dealing serious damage that needs to be recharged through battle.

Of the three courses they showed, Force had some of the greatest changes. They finally have a block similar to Hunters on top of their dodge, which is a much-needed addition since they may be fragile and slowed down by Technique charging. Techniques have also gotten better because they no longer need to get billed to use. They now have an uncharged strike that, while not as strong as the billed variant, still does some good damage.

Another fantastic change is that curing items may be used on the fly. No more getting stuck in a drink cartoon trying to heal only to be immediately smacked and lose all of it without a thing you can do about it. Healing will occur instantaneously in NG while you do more important things, like dodging. Overall, the battle has become a much-needed upgrade whilst still feeling perfectly comfortable.

In Episode 5, after the aid of those on Earth, players find that a mysterious portal that results in some other dimension, known as"Omega." This world seems driven purely by dream, a world of swords and magic rather than technology and science. Both worlds are in direct contrast with each other, and as the story progresses, players will frequently go between them while observing the odd similarities these worlds share. Simultaneously, a mysterious woman who calls herself"Alma" appears, and she seems to buy Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta have advice about Omega and--strangely--roughly ARKS.
