This game continues to evolve, with new features, skills, quests, and more crammed into the content roadmap for 2022. April 6 is just one stop on the journey, with a list of things coming worthy of further scrutiny; a level cap increase (to 45), new Photon Arts for weapons and the introduction of Compound Techniques, new Ranks for Combat Sectors, a new DOLLS-inspired Weapon Series, some long-anticipated quality of life features, and the list goes on. If you\u2019re already playing, read on for more information about what\u2019s in store for you. If you\u2019re not playing, you\u2019ll want to be by the end of this article!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis.jpg\" alt=\"Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-165290\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>More Power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s better than eliminating DOLLS? Doing it <em>faster<\/em> by blasting them with even higher firepower. And if you weren\u2019t lucky (or rich) enough to net a Relik and haven\u2019t saved up your Photon Scales to upgrade the Potential on your Cinque weapon, you can still increase your Battle Power by gaining some levels. This shouldn\u2019t be too hard, as there\u2019s a new round of Limited Quests and a new rank of combat sectors, as well as a new DOLLS-inspired, 5-star Rarity Weapon Series. The Kukuhroziat (the weapons are much easier to wield than their name is to say) Weapon Series were inspired by the look of DOLLS and have a unique Weapon Potential that\u2019ll come in handy for future game content. Oh, and did I mention there\u2019s a color-variant form?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis-1.jpg\" alt=\"Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-165289\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>More Skill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Assuming you are adept at executing Photon Arts or successfully releasing Techniques, you\u2019ll be able to dispatch DOLLS with greater finesse. ARKS instructors have been hard at work refining new Photon Arts for all weapons and creating Compound Techniques for those capable of directly wielding Photons. I\u2019ve been making it rain on my enemies as a Gunner (i.e., using the PA Aimless Rain) for quite some time, but with Infinite Ricochet coming out, I may be spraying Photon Bullets with that soon. Or I\u2019ll be switching to the Force class and combining elements to blast baddies with Barantsion or another Compound Technique. Though since you can wield all weapons and play as any classes on the same character, I\u2019ll probably do both. Heck, I may even try out the Fighter class and slice and dice with Twin Daggers so I can use the Limber Figure Photon Art, because nothing says danger like a whirlwind of blades. And having an area of effect ability will be extra helpful because there are also new enemies, called Equalizer enemies. With the ability to defensively buff nearby enemies, it\u2019s a good idea to focus fire on them \u2013 and there\u2019s no better way to do it than with a powerful new Photon Art or Technique!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis-2.jpg\" alt=\"Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-165288\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Encore!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PSE Bursts are just one of my favorite things about NGS, because nothing says enemy panic like getting beamed by a horde of enemies because you\u2019re just destroying them too fast. If you played <em>PSO2<\/em> then you know the true joy of hearing Cross Burst or One More, which would signal a <em>second<\/em> PSE Burst event occurring, wherein you could happily continue slaughtering enemies and reaping loot and Exp. I\u2019m happy to say that the DOLLS of <em>NGS<\/em> are adopting this field tactic \u2013 and you\u2019ll be up to your ears in enemies after the April 6 update. You can truly take advantage of this new development by farming PSE Bursts in the new Rank 3 Combat Sectors, which are also included in this update.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis-3.jpg\" alt=\"Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-165287\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Easy Adventuring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The above are just a few pieces of new content included in this update, but there are some other changes coming too. The community has asked for an easier way to recruit party members, and Sega has delivered with the Party Recruitment system. Recruit players from the same Room by using the Communications menu to set the purpose of your party and requirements to join. Others will be able to identify that you\u2019re recruiting by the special icon that appears above your character and then they can select the appropriate option from Nearby Characters in the Communications Menu. Not only that, but for those who just need to capture a picturesque moment while out exploring, there is now a Photo Room feature so that you can get rid of photo-bombing DOLLS and snap that perfect pic. You can even change the time of day or weather to suit your artistic vision. Perhaps most notable for content creators, this update includes a Streamer Mode, which will disable Chat while you\u2019re sharing your screen. For Phashionistas, there\u2019s now an option to show or hide your Innerwear. So, if you want to equip a skin-baring Basewear but have only full-coverage Innerwear, your fashion snafu won\u2019t be noted.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a bunch more included in this update, so the best way to learn more is to play <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis<\/a><\/strong><\/em> \u2013 for free \u2013 by visiting the Xbox store and downloading the game for PC or Xbox.<\/p>\n<div id=\"msp1649276367536\" class=\"\">\n<div class=\"ms-product-badge mspb-large\" data-product-id=\"9p1rsq5mgpcr\">\n<div class=\"mspb-primary-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9p1rsq5mgpcr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/store-images.s-microsoft.com\/image\/apps.64937.14501600885888434.4fb4a8e5-02ea-4806-bc26-24e7d8bcfcf4.161e21fd-5625-4583-b8ea-b2b2e4f378cd?w=400&#038;h=600\" alt=\"Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis\" class=\"skip-lazy\" \/> <\/a> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badges\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-live\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis.png\" alt=\"Xbox Live\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-play-anywhere\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/april-thrills-in-phantasy-star-online-2-new-genesis-1.png\" alt=\"Xbox Play Anywhere\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mspb-secondary-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-left-container\">\n<p>SEGA Corporation<\/p>\n<div class=\"mspb-rating\">\n<div> <span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span> <span class=\"mspb-total-ratings\">598<\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-full-stars\" style=\"width: 52.5px\"> <span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-price\"> <span><\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-buttons\"> <a class=\"mspb-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9p1rsq5mgpcr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get it now<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-bottom-badges\">\n<div class=\"mspb-bottom-badge xbox-one-x-enhanced\"> Xbox One X Enhanced <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-right-container\">\n<div class=\"mspb-description\"> Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis, the latest chapter in the Phantasy Star Online 2 series, is here at last!<br \/>\nIt&#039;s time to jump into adventures beyond imagination!
