Japanese gaming supermagazine Famistu revealed details about an upcoming sequel to Phantasy Star Universe called Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of Illuminus. Along with scans of the magazine, the following features were confirmed:
- Weapons Types - Three new weapon types including a Photon Whip, Slicer, and the Madoog. The Madoog is a left-handed TECHNIC weapon that resembles a Phantasy Star Online Mag. Known Madoogs include the Soniti and Sato.
- Weapons - Several new weapons will be added, including several classic Phantasy Star Online ones. Examples of the PSO-type weapons include the Holy Ray and a Durandal replica.
- SUVs and Photon Arts - The scans show two new SUV attacks that include a very large sword and another with a Heavens Punisher type attack. Also, new Photon Arts will be introduced.
- Stages and Enemies - The scans state that one of the new fields will be based in the remnants of Rozenom City. Also, there will be new enemies, one of which looks like the Grass Assassin, and bosses. Based on the pictures, it looks like one of them is based on Del Rol Le.
- Clothing - PSO-style clothing will be included in this game. On various screens, you can see a character wearing an Ash-type Humar outfit.
- Rappy-Themed Casino - One of the screens features a Rappy-themed casino.
There is no confirmation whether there will be an off-line mode or if existing accounts can be transferred. The game will be for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2. (Why no PlayStation 3 version?)
(Thanks, PSO World.)
