Famitsu has a brief preview of the two newest weapons that will be available to Phantasy Star Zero players, the shield and the gunslash. Shields will be able to defend against any weapon, according to this machine translation, though can also be used to limited effect for walloping enemies. We don't really have much to say about the gunslash, a sword/gun combo, other than "gunslash" is a totally rad name.
Also featured is a third "new" weapon, which we should all be familiar with because it's a clenched, bare fist. We can't recall being able to fight with these in previous Phantasy Star games, probably because pummeling this with your mitts would be an act of grave stupidity. Oh, and you can also perform unnaturally high kicks. Those angles just ... aren't right.

Nuhuh - you could totes fight without a weapon in previous incarnations, particular PSO for the Gamecube. I remember this well, because my force looked ridiculous when he attacked like that.
This game presently tops my most exhilarating upcoming game lists.

I can't wait to get this game, I remember playing it as a kid on my cousins dreamcast. It was one of the best games I have ever played. I wonder if they have mags in this one. Those pets were pretty cool :)

Yikes. Not a high enough resolution to tell what some things are in a few of those pics.

Yeah, I remember the days of PSO after having raised my character's level to a high degree then going back to early levels and going through bare-fisted. Fun times. I miss the glory days of PSO. I hope this comes closer.
