Above is the first of a collection of videos I’ll post of Phantasy Star Universe in action on the Xbox 360. I don’t believe in the mindless action clips you see everywhere else. You’ll see everything, uncut without the fluff, including the horrific loading times. The first video above, is character creation.

Quick impressions so far? As I said, the loading times in the beta are absolutely unacceptable. I can only hope the full version is more refined than this beta, otherwise they’re in for a bumpy ride. Don’t believe me? See for yourself in the video. Click through for more videos throughout the night.

I’m in the process of uploading the second video: Room Tutorial. Gives you an idea of how PSU handles player rooms. Interesting that you can let visitors into your room when you’re not online, they can even drop “decorations” into the house when you aren’t there.

Final video is some 6 player online combat.
