Okay, yeah. You guys all remember that old teaser image on the PSU homepage? The one with Laia and Ethan on it? You all remember how some people thought it was advertising an expansion pack, and others (me, for one) decried it as the Online Story Missions?
...Yeah, I'm gonna eat my words now.
Check out
these scans, apparently from
Famitsu.
Oh, and thank PSO-World for giving me the incentive to follow this up and bring it over here.
S... S.... SATO!!!! The blood-thirsty MAG lives on!! XD I know a certain few someones who'll be extatic to know that... and a few someones who will cower in fear at the knowledge... hehehe. XD
Looks like we're getting PSO clothing after all... although I just want my kitty clothes. =P
Who knows when they'll release an expansion though. XD Probably after everything on the original DVD is unlocked.
Ergh, I hope they bring that thing out soon...
Looks like the MAGs are, as far as the relevant topic on PSOW says, left-handed casting weapons.
Yes, you read that right: left-handed casting weapons.
Also, apparently the Slicer makes a welcome return, along with the Durandal (Replica) and the Holy Ray.
...And Forest.
Also, the screenshots on the first scan taste of delicious FMV. Laia suddenly looks attractive, if still angry, and Ethan's badass factor is further multiplied by a factor of n.
@nomercy: I presume that the Japanese release will be not long after the JP servers get the last Online Story mission. I'm gonna guess about two months. The scans give a date of 2007, so US/EU should be expecting Ambition of Illumines around spring '08.
Don't quote me on that, though, I'm just guessing.
Also, cool-looking new clothes.
even the weapon holy ray
PSO lives forever
people will now rmember pso while actually playing psu
I hope it isn't too long. I've long since gotten bored of PSU.
Left-handed casting weapons as MAGs? Seems kinda pointless... they better be usable by all class types or that'll just be cruel.
Seems kinda silly using them that way... but whatever, least they're there in some fashion.
The whip and slicer are awesome, but the KOLTOBAZOOKA makes me laugh my head off.
Damn, I want a whip weapon. And a bondage outfit, but that's another story XD
Hmm... god, do I wish I could read that. And we need pictures... more pictures! HUmar costumes, wahooo!
