<IMG alt="Phantasy Star Universe all at Ragol.co.uk!" hspace=0 src="/uploads/ragol_psulogo.gif" align=baseline border=1> Today's update for Phantasy Star Universe comes as information combined from both Sonic Team of Japan, and fellow European Phantasy Star Online German website <A href="http://www.pso-world.de">PSO-World.de</A>'s <A href="http://www.ragol.co.uk/forums/member.php?userid=643">benOire</A>, as Universe proves to be much more then just an RPG...Firstly, 6 great new action packed scenes which Sonic Team are using to show off the main types of weapons you'll be using throughout the game, and they are, mmmmmm, mmmmmm (Click to Enlarge):<A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_01.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_01_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A><A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_02.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_02_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A><A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_03.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_03_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A><A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_05.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_05_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A><A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_06.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_06_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A><A href="/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_04.jpg"><IMG alt="Click to Enlarge" hspace=2 src="http://www.ragol.co.uk/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_04_thumb.jpg" align=baseline border=1></A>In the screenshots above, and below, you'll notice the screens also contain new images of the new enemies and maybe mini-bosses? The levels also look very interesting, and a lot different from what we all know and love in PSO! Continuing with the new weapons, it's not just what they do, but it seems it's also, how they do it, as Phantasy Star Universe also comes with a FPS mode! By clicking the R3 Trigger on your PlayStation2 joypad, any type of gun (Or maybe arrow as shown off in the 4th screenshot above!) can be fired in First-Person Shooter Mode, bringing up a crosshair on the screen for those precision shots. These are shown off as below:<IMG alt="BOOM!

You'll be able to grind pratically any weapon you collect it seems to give your weapons a more customised feel. It's unclear whether these grinders stay coming in the form of Monogrinders, Digrinders, and Trigrinders however.Raise the statistics of your favourite sword, gun, or cane, by grinding up your weapons with any grinders you find, in 3 easy steps as Sonic Team show you below:<IMG alt="1, 2, 3 and Bang! It's a whole new weapon!" hspace=0 src="http://www.ragol.co.uk/uploads/news_images/12_11_05_10.gif" align=baseline border=0>That does it for the Phantasy Star Universe update, and once again thanks to <A href="http://www.pso-world.de">PSO-World.de</A> for the news concerning the FPS mode which was announced in Famitsu magazine not long ago. However, just to finish off, i thought i'd say that their partners <A href="http://www.importantgames.com">importantgames.com</A> recently went to a South Korean games show, a little like the Tokyo Games Show (Which PSO-World.de also have a few images off taken from the DVD - <A href="http://www.pso-world.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=873&page=1">Click here</A>), but on a much smaller scale, and you can view all of the pictures taken from there, by clicking over to their forums, <A href="http://www.pso-world.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=904">here</A>.<A href="http://www.pso-world.de/forum/thread.php?threadid=904"><IMG height=320 alt="Click to go to the forum page" hspace=0 src="http://www.pso-world.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=102.jpg" width=416 align=baseline border=1></A>Finally, all of the information concerning Phantasy Star Universe can of course been seen in our huge and ever growing article, by <A href="http://www.ragol.co.uk/articles/EEEEAyypFuxeCbpwop.shtml">clicking here</A>. Happy Hunting!

Thankx Joshy Lee, nice repoting full of brand new psu updates. Smile

I love the things, shoot some buttons and switches the charakter cannot arrived.

Indeed, the new FP weapon mode should make for some new and interesting elements into Universe and a Phantasy Star title after playing through PSO so much, a game which only has a few ways to use the weapons. Universe has really expanded on how you use the weapons, and how they're used in conjunction with each character!
