FEATURES (I'm not doing ALL the markup. Just go to the link!):
Frozen Tundra Area
Mag’s 3rd Form
(God this site has the worst "image" markup ever. JUST LET ME PUT IN LINK AND POP OUT AN IMAGE FOR CHRISSAKES.)
But that helps alleviate some of my concerns about mags not being too terribly unique. Looks like they've got some good early variety going on.
Time Attack and Class Level 40
A new type of quest has been added! In Time Attack Quests, several gimmicks are laid out across the field. In normal quests, the maps are completely random, but time attack quests have preset maps.
In the first time attack quest, you will run from the forest to the tundra. A new ranking system called “Time Attack Ranking” will also be added to the game. You may receive a medal based on where you place.
You can now reach Level 40 by completing a client order.
Story Quests: Chapters 2, 3, and 4!
In Chapter 2, you receive a request from “Rodeo”, a scholar, who is questioning the origins of the Planet Naberius. In Chapter 3, you and Furie will investigate the creatures on Planet Lillipa.
Chapter 4 takes place on Planet Amduscia. Arks Researcher “Aki” and her assistant “Light” makes a request to cooperate with the Dragon tribes, but the dragons aren’t going to be won over that easy.

I find this part in particular funny:
Those who purchase the Premium Set will have access to the Premium Block. A certain number of blocks will be allocated only to premium users and it may look as if there are less blocks available for non-premium players. The number of premium blocks available will change based on the ratio of players who purchased it.
Like... who would use a premium block? That's just silly.
This sounds more useful, though:
Block Names:
Based on user feedback, some players are having a hard time finding parties around their level. Sakai will make adjustments to the names of some blocks based on Play Style and Level ranges.
Shame we can't READ JAPANESE! (Except like, those two guys.)
How about just consolidate all games in a given ship across all blocks like in the original PSO? What was wrong with that?? Segregating the population is hideously dumb.
That said, I can't wait! I can wait even less for a FRIGGIN ENGLISH RELEASE!
