The images were, as usual, provided by the official community Twitter account Rappy.Commu with notes translated via the official PSO2 global Twitter account.

We get to see several battle abilities and elemental magic techniques that can be enjoyed in the new iteration of PSO2, which look inevitably quite flashy.

You can check them all out below.

Let's talk about an ability you can use in PSO2:NGS called the "Diving Attack"! 💫✨

You can perform it by pressing the attack and jump buttons simultaneously.
The best part? It can be used by all classes! #PSO2NGSglobal https://t.co/t5KaJOMng6

It's time for some hardcore parkour with the new "Wall Kick" ability in PSO2 NEW GENESIS! ⭐✨

When you bump into a wall you'll kick off of it to do a double-jump! Use wall kicks to climb to those hard-to-reach locations. You can also do wall kicks manually. #PSO2NGSglobal https://t.co/EOLnOL1UI8

Let's take a look at the Fire Techniques in PSO2:NGS!~ 🔥✨

When casting "Foie", you can see that it shoots fireballs. However, when charged it can be turned into a chain explosion! Use uncharged to deal with bosses, and charged techniques for crowds of enemies. #PSO2NGSglobal https://t.co/1RaPHWLKWu

Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis will come for the same platforms as Phantasy Star Online 2 which in the west is (for now) Xbox and PC, while in Japan it will release for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

New info and gameplay will be showcased in a livestream next week.

If you want to see more, you can check out the latest official gameplay, more from just before Christmas, and the previously-released footage, on top of plenty more from the closed beta.

Recently, we also got to see a glimpse at the new engine that will provide a fresh coat of paint for the original Phantasy Star Online 2, (it actually already released in the Japanese version) bringing it closer to the standard that Sega is going to set with New Genesis.
