The videos were, as usual, provided by the official community Twitter account Rappy.Commu.

The first video showcases the use of the new traversal abilities to climb a mountain.

CBTの掲示板にて「登山」というワードを見かけました。
動画にあるような山を2段ジャンプとウォールキックを駆使して登山活動をされてたんですね!『PSO2：NGS』では戦闘以外のこういう遊びも楽しいですね! フィールドでの自由度が増えたので自分なりの遊び方を探してみてくださいね!<ヒロ>#PSO2NGS pic.twitter.com/RmmzItlkCq

The second focuses on a value called “Combat Power.” You can increase it by leveling up, strengthening equipment, and unlocking class skills.

The closed beta allowed you to participate in emergency quests if you had a combat power over 950.

『PSO2：NGS』には「戦闘力」というものが存在し、
CBTでは「戦闘力950以上」で緊急クエストに参加できるようになります。戦闘力はキャラクターの「Lv.アップ」、「
装備の強化(特殊能力の追加、潜在能力の解放含む)」、「クラススキルの習得」で上げることが可能です。<ヒロ>#PSO2NGS pic.twitter.com/ipiSR7Cuzx

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.

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, bringing it closer to the standard that Sega is going to set with New Genesis.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
