Sega's reveal of Phantasy Star Online 2 at last year's Tokyo Game Show was nothing more than a logo. It's about time we got some game play footage and screenshots, isn't it?
Sega delivered the goods this weekend at the Infinity Gran Prix event in Japan with an extended look at the game in action. The folks at PSOWorld have streaming video from the event on their page, from which they've managed to ferret out some features the upcoming PC sequel, including randomized dungeons, weather effects, a third-person view for characters using guns, and the ability to jump all over the place like some sort of mad jumping machine.
Meanwhile, Japanese website 4Gamer posted a gallery of lovely screenshots for the game, showing off some sexy character models, complete with Section IDs on the character's outfits. While it doesn't look like Sega is straying far from the established formula, futuristic adventures running around in forests have never looked quite so good.
Hit up the 4Gamer link below for some more screens and plenty of Japanese text.
