The regional PC/Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 Phantasy Star Universe servers will receive a minor content update on February 19th. Here is a breakdown of what will be released:

• Maximum Attack G+ S2 will have its area drops updated. The following items will start dropping:
  • Igg Crown - Forest
  • Chain Edge - Caves
  • Twin Grip - Mines
  • Flowen's Soul - Ruins
• The Desert Arms Shop will have the Ely Sion (Sword), Edel Fucil (Rifle), and Edel Arrow (Bow) added to the mission's trade list. These items are the most powerful weapons in their respective classes for Ambition of the Illuminus. You will need the Edel Elym and Edel Harp to trade for these items. Note that you should select your Edel item carefully. You will only have one chance per account to trade for one. Since the items are account-bound, they cannot be traded or sold in player shops.

The European version of Phantasy Star Zero was recently reviewed by Simon Bramble of the British-based Official Nintendo Magazine. The reviewer had mixed impressions of the game and gave it a 71/100 rating. He felt the offline mode suffered from repetitive gameplay, a troublesome camera, and questionable help from the NPCs. The online mode proved to be its saving grace:

"Online, the joy of loot collection is magnified. When you work together as a team to defeat a group of enemies and share the rewards, there's a rare feeling of having earned it. Online, the monotony of walking through randomly generated locales is lightened by being shown what your mate thinks your mum looks like. Online, you'll see the three-strike combat system working almost in rhythm, and very impressive it is too."
