Credits go to Kesubei from PSO-World

OK, I did my best to translate the first video, which is the producer of the game going over some major parts of PS0. {} indicates where in the video this section takes place.

(The presentation begins with a question to the producer from the MC.)

Q: What is the meaning behind the title, "Phantasy Star Zero?"
A: We wanted to create a completely new game, with new characters, a new
story and a new world. It's called "Phantasy Star Zero" because we aimed to
return to the feel of the original work.

After that, he begins his presentation about the game, starting with

Visualchat {0:49}

With visualchat, not only can you communicate with letters and characters,
but you can also send unique pictures. This tool will making chatting more
fun than just sending simple words. You can even use your favorite illustrations to surprise your friends!

-Store visualchats into shortcuts {1:18}

Also, you can also send visualchats that you've saved into shortcuts (He
shows more than 10 shortcuts, by the way - he gives no maximum number).

-Copy a friend's visualchat {1:33}

Some of you are saying "But, I'm not good at drawing, so..." Well, relax!
We've made it so that you can copy someone else's visualchat from the chat
log. From the chat log in the chat menu, you can copy someone's visualchat,
edit it, and save it as a shortcut. With the editing feature, you can change
it enough make it appear completely different!

-Use visualchat anywhere {1:56}

You can use visualchat not only in the cities, but also in the midst of
battle. Although, most people will be so busy, they can't spare the time to
chat. When that happens, just use your shortcuts! Depending on the
situation, a visualchat can make the battle more exciting.

(Then, he began presenting on the games modes )

PS0 takes place on the Earth and on the Moon. Let's watch the prologue.

...


Character creation {4:09}

The same characters can be used in all modes of the game, and you can save up to
three characters. PS0 has three races and three jobs, but character creation
is where you can make each character unique.

Story mode {4:45}

PS0 has three game modes. We'll begin with Story mode. Your adventures as
a novice hunter begin in Dairon City. The story doesn't truly begin,
however, until you come across a young newman girl named Sarisa. Story mode has
some animated cutscenes.

Wireless {5:42}

With up to four friends, you can have an exciting time adventuring (while
using visualchats, of course). In Wireless, there are three types of play
modes: Friend, Free, and Single. With Friend, you can play wirelessly with
those you have exchanged friend codes with. In Free, you pick your desired
location and are matched with other players. In this mode, you cannot use
visualchats; instead, only pre-set phrases are allowed.

Wi-fi mode is, of course, free.

Battle System {6:39}

Like PSO, PS0 will have the customizable Action Palette. You can do up to
three hit combos if you time the attacks correctly. Also, there's a new
action: evade. With it you can roll out of harms way and set yourself up for
a counterattack. Another new action is the charged attack.
To use it, you hold down the attack button for a couple of seconds and
release. The attack released depends on the weapon.

Technics also benefit from the new charged attack. When charged, a technic's
range or power will increase.

We've included a number of weapon categories into PS0. A new category of
weapon is the shield. You can naturally defend with the shield, but you can
also attack with it (looks two handed). Another new weapon is the
"gunslash" (gunsword). In close range, it acts as a sword,
but in long-range fighting it functions as a gun. Of course, there
are a lot of rare items! In total, there are about 350 weapons in the game.

There are of course many other great aspects about this game - fields,
enemies, cities - but I cannot talk about them today. However, please look
forward to upcoming info about PS0.

The second video is with the director, and he is narrating a play-through of the game. I haven't watched it, yet.

The sound effects in this video are much better than the previous videos. It seems like they just took all the sound effects from PSO. They must've gotten the same composer as well, because the music sounds extremely similar to the tunes found in PSO.

[Lance813]

Whoa, a gunslash.

and a giant shield

[Cye Zero]

I'm liking PS0 more already.

[Lance813]

Agreed, to bad that i don't have a DS.
