PHANTASY STAR ONLINE EPISODE I&II

ATTACK WHEN THE

CURSOR APPEARS.

Whether you play the main PSO story or quests either online or

of ine, you use the Action Menu, which you can customize before

heading into battle. Note that these controls cannot be used in the

city or visual lobby.

MOVING AROUND

To move your character around the  eld, move the left thumbstick.

If any enemies are nearby, your character will walk slowly with his

or her weapon drawn. If the camera view becomes off-center while

walking and/or turning around, pull the left trigger to return the

camera to the default camera view—facing forward with the camera

behind your character.

ATTACKING

There are three basic forms of attack: Attack, Heavy Attack, and

Extra Attack.

Assign each attack to a button by using

the Action Menu, displayed by selecting

Customize on the Main Game Menu (see

page 49). If you can time three attacks

just right, you can achieve a successive

chain of attacks that is overall slightly

faster and more accurate than

executing each attack separately. This

is especially effective when attacking

enemies who are hard to hit, because

the third hit is more likely to  nd its

mark. Also, when attacking, the cursor

will be set to the closest target in the direction you are facing.

The colors of the controller buttons correspond to the colors of the

bands that surround each of the three Action Menu spaces.
