Episode 5 renders Earth behind and Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta contributes to the ARKS universe. An anomaly happens, and you end up in a new world called Omega situated in a dark hole using old and new characters battling corruption once again. Omega was created with dream in your mind. There are castles, dragons, siege-like quests and kingdoms all surrounded by something they call magic, but gamers will realize as photons. Simply make your way through the story to find out.

Buster Quests are a vital part of Episode 5, with many of the story's battle quests using their mechanics. These new quests are also accessible at the pursuit counter and can be done with the eight-player multiparty. They're very similar to the Apprentice Urgent Quest, where gamers must work together to protect towers out of oncoming enemies. However, there are plenty of new mechanics that make this new with how it's more siege-like. After protecting the towers, weapons are set up and need to be shielded to breach the castle at the opposite end of this field. Once it's breached, everyone must make their way to the boss -- that the castle itself. Buster Quests get gradually more challenging as their level could be built up such as Extreme Quests. Of course, new quests mean new items, but there are also new awards to be got and a new store to cooperate with them.

There's plenty of fresh material with Episode 5 to help keep players busy, and the narrative is back to being centered around ARKS and combating with the Dark Falz. Alongside all these exciting new features, new things and Scratch Tickets will also be out, and fresh Urgent Quests will be on how to freshen things up in PSO2. There are still many details to be revealed as time goes one, but some major things like battle and the world are much clearer. Hiro Arai out of Sega was live for nearly an hour to show off footage of gameplay and speak about what new items are on the road. Not much was mentioned about the present game and the upgrade coming alongside NG's release other than the graphical update, which is looking fantastic.

Maps are no more split into regions with loading screens. NG will have a completely open world from the home base to the field. The TGS footage showed off a gorgeous new world that is a substantial update from the current game. Blades of grass blow in the end, lush forests lie on the opposite side of valleys and frosty mountains could be viewed in the distance. Arai mentions that distinct regions can be attained seamlessly simply by traversing the world. It seems like that is the planet Naberious from the present game, with woods being adjacent to tundra and other regions. Areas continue to be technically divided up, but there's no loading between them. While it has not been directly said, an open world like this suggests there might not be single celebration areas anymore. Most revealed in the footage were multi-party areas where there were other players. The cap for multi-party areas has been reduced to eight from PSO2 Meseta for sale twelve in the current PSO2, but who you see will differ from area to area.
