*Personally, I'm not sure we even have a need for this page. Thoughts? [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 15:23, 17 August 2006 (PDT)
*'Differences' should be able to make most of it obsolete, no? [[User:Tycho|Tycho]]
*My thoughts exactly, ah well, time to try out that Deletion candidate and hope we get some meaningful responses (i.e. yes delete it or no edit it). [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 11:01, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
*There's one thing wrong with this page. It's about the wrong game. >_>; - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]]
*Well, this would be an excellent page if it got reworked... Entirely. Having just got the game yesterday and playing it even _five minutes_ its clear that its not even close to hitting the mark. x_x I think this page needs to be edited, but _kept_ because while Differences is informative, there's still going to be the occasional player who's never played PSO before.

Game play wise, Phantasy Star Universe plays very much like its predecessor Phantasy Star Online.

=Combat=
Physical combat features three basic commands for encounters.

These are:
*Simple Attack - This is the fastest attack, and does little damage. Its effect depends on what weapon you are using; for example, if you were using a handgun, this would quickly fire off a shot doing little damage.
*Hard Attack - These, while looking exactly the same as simple attacks, are slower (they have a charge time before swinging/shooting) but much more powerful.
*Special Attack - The availability of this depends on if your weapon has a special attack on it. These normally have the same animation as simple / hard attacks but instead have an Attribute (i.e. fire) associated with them.

With timing you can use the three variations of attack to perform what is known as a Combo. The advantages to performing combos is chaining the attacks in rapid succession, which not only increases the accuracy rating of a following hit, but has different variances/angles to most follow-up swings. For example: Hard -> Special -> Special would have a lower chance of connecting than Simple -> Hard -> Special.

==Techniques==
Techniques are in essence Phantasy Star Universe’s ‘magic’. Each [[Technique]] has an associated [[Element]] and comes in a variety of uses. Among them are ‘Nukes’ such as Foie (Fire attribute Attack), Barta (Ice attribute attack) and etc. However, unlike physical attacks they cannot be chained and they cannot strike critical hits.
