Combat is very similar to PSO2's current combat system, down to the weapons, Photon Arts and Photon Blasts. It is only quicker, more mobile and PSO2 Meseta smoother. There are no longer Perfect Attacks; instead, it's more like contemporary action games with combos and counterattacks. Dodging and obstructing is liquid for many classes also. Certain classes may see a difference in play. There's no more attacking in the atmosphere indefinitely, so expect to be on the floor more dodging and countering. Attacks and PAs are setup the exact same way they are now using specific buttons performing specific attacks or the 1-2-3 system. As far as PB's go, since Mag's will not be part of gameplay anymore, they act more like Complex Photon Arts, which were introduced in Japan's PSO2 with Episode 6. Rather than summoning a monster, PB's will rather be a massive attack coping serious harm that should be recharged through battle.

Of those three classes they revealed, Force had a few of the biggest changes. They finally have a block much like Hunters in addition to their dodge, which is a much-needed addition as they can be delicate and slowed down by Technique charging. Techniques have also gotten better in that they no longer need to be billed to use. They finally have an uncharged attack which, while not as powerful as the charged variant, still does some fantastic damage.

Another fantastic change is that healing items may be employed on the fly. No more getting stuck in a drink cartoon trying to heal only to be promptly smacked and shed all of it without a thing you can do about it. Healing will happen instantaneously in NG at the same time you do more important things, like dodging. All in all, the battle is receiving a much-needed upgrade whilst still feeling perfectly familiar.

In Episode 5, after the assistance of these on buy Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta Earth, players find a mysterious portal which leads to another dimension, called"Omega." This world appears driven purely by fantasy, a world of swords and magic instead of technology and science. Both worlds are in direct contrast with one another, and as the narrative progresses, players will often move between them while observing the strange similarities these worlds share. Simultaneously, a mysterious girl who calls herself"Alma" seems, and she seems to get information about Omega and--strangely--about ARKS.
