[titleSP2i: Lobby Sneak Peek and New Screenshots]

The visual lobby is a new feature where Online Multiplayer gamers can meet up before starting a party. The lobby is somewhat similar to PSO’s lobby in design.
The menu shows some expected features like Party List and Lobby List. At the bottom it says “Online Shop”. I wonder what that could be.

Here’s Nagisa in bodily form. As you may already know, she’s a Duman who’s’ been traveling alone for some time. Despite how powerful she is, she’s requesting a guard from Little Wing to escort her. But it appears this is just a cover for her to meet one of Little Wing’s main characters.
In one of the promo videos it appears she meets up with Emilia. It must have something to do with Wynarl and Mika… (OMG SPOILERS)

The Dumans are of a new race that are some sort of a genetic mutation of the Humans. They have a dark power hidden within their eyes, and can overpower the other races. It appears the birth of this race may have something to do with the SEED attacks 3 years ago, but it’s not very clear. Here’s the female Duman in the visual lobby.Source

Spoiler: Clad 6 Resort Colony

This beach isn’t naturally made on any planet. In fact it exists within Clad 6 resort colony where the main characters reside. However, monsters have been unleashed into this area making this environment no longer enjoyable to it’s citizens.

Looks great, but I wish they'd stop releasing these "slightly" better version games. It totally makes the original game inferior.

 

[prowler]

"slightly" better version games.

Slightly?
They are adding over 300+ weapons, changing story mode (adding more content due to Dumans) and then you have all the PSO content which they are putting in.

If anything, it's a whole new game completely.

 

[Bluelaserman]

From what you posted, I thought it was like an "Extra" chapter. Though, 300+ Weapons and PSO stuff makes me want to get it.

Boo. I don't have my PSP anymore. This gam3 5uck5.

Is this in any way similar to Monster Hunter?

From the grinding, I guess.
But no, not really.

I recently finished PS2, Lv 200 CaVan, i want this 'Addon' so dang much.

 

[Jolan]

But I just finished PSP2 Q_Q
And now I have to play it once more?
BAW BAW BA--oh who am I kidding, of course I'm doing that.

Also thread needs more hype dog.

So since the storyline is changed I assume it's okay to play through 2 before playing through this, or should I just wait for this?

Yes I still haven't touched 2...

Polearms and leopard-print?

WANT!

 

[Jolan]

Dragon Bone armor? HYES, I was waiting for something to replace the starter Clothes on my Beast/Hunter.

 

[benbop1992]

You know, i think we should all have a Ps2 night soon, get a few lobbys to ourselfs, im sure my rare weapon drop code works online.

 

[Jolan]

You do know that cheating online is a bannable offense, right?
And each player gets their own drops, so no Rare weapon drops for the rest of the party.
Heck, I read that playing with somebody who cheated using Exp Modifier cheats could cause problems for the non-cheating player.

but Still, PSPo2 night seems like a good idea, now that I can finally play online.

 

[benbop1992]

Who said anything about cheating :3

 

[prowler]

If the party leader uses cheats then the cheats are activated for the rest of the group.
Say if I was in a party and the leader used OHKO or level up each kill then I would get OHKO, etc.

 

[benbop1992]

OHKO is a pure waste, i normally cheat offline.

 

[prowler]

Still could fuck up our saves.

 

[benbop1992]

Could do, but im a risktaker, thats why om not going to cheat.
