“PSO2:NGS” Game Features
New Story
The main character of “Star Crossing” who landed on a small island in the west Aelio of the planet “Halpha” with a descent pod.
To the confused hero, “Aina”, an ARKS apprentice girl who happened to be there, and “Mannon”, who is also a star-walker, reach out. Aina’s father, the hero of West Aelion, “Garoa,” joined the group, and the main character was led by three people to be welcomed into “Aelio Town”, where the cheerful and friendly ARKS live.
New World: “Halpha” | New Region: “Aelio”
The “Aelio Region” is a region rich in water and greenery. It is rich in various terrains such as plains, mountains, wetlands and caves. A new adventure now begins here!
Six Classes
Close-Quarter & Mid Range: Hunter / Fighter / Gunner
Long Range: Ranger
Magic “Technique” Users: Force / Techter
12 Types of Weapons with different Actions
The 12 weapons available at launch are the Sword, Wired Lance, Partisan, Assault Rifle, Launcher, Rod, Talis, Knuckles, Twin Daggers, Double Saber, Twin Machine Guns and Wand. Use a range of actions for each weapon and defeat your enemies!
Link
New Traveling Actions: Photon Dash | Photon Glide | Wall Kicking
Photon Dash is an action that allows you to move at high-speed! Initiate Photon Dash by pressing and holding the Sidestep button or key. During Photon Dash, your jumping power will increase, allowing you to jump to higher ground. This action is useful for moving around in the field and during exploration!
Photon Glide allows you to move in the air! It can be initiated by pressing and holding the jump button or key; or jump again during two-stage jumping. During Photon Glide your fall speed will slow and this can be used in various situations, such as battling huge enemies or exploring the field in lofty areas!
Wall Kicking is an action that allows you to kick the wall and jump higher! Since you will be able to go to areas that you can’t reach with normal jumping, remember to use it to your advantage and take your exploration to the next level!
Multi-weapon
A function that allows you to take two weapons from the same Weapon Series and combine them!
This allows you to place 2 different Weapon Actions on 1 Weapon Palette.
For instance, after executing a powerful close-range attack with a Sword, you can dodge and counterattack using the Weapon Action of an Assault Rifle!
Also, since the Enhancement Level and Augments of the base weapon are applied to the new weapon, you’ll save on Enhancement materials!
New Enemies: DOLLS | ALTERS | FORMERS | TAMES
- DOLLS are the enemies of the Arks residing on Halpha. There are a variety of different kinds of DOLLS, each with powerful attacks!
- ALTERS is a general term for enemies with an eerie eyeball-like pattern on their heads. At night, they change shape and their attacks grow stronger!
- FORMERS is a general term for enemies with a beast-like appearance. They may appear tame at first, but don’t be fooled!
- TAMES are Lifeforms that inhabit planet Halpha. Some TAMES will approach Arks, others will flee, and some will attack!
