Famitsu Cup Coming Soon to JP PC/PS2 Servers

In the coming weeks, the Japanese PC/PS2 servers will see the start of a new event, the Famitsu Cup! A solid date has not been announced just yet, but the event is scheduled to begin around the end of May. Details are a bit sketchy at the moment, but it seems that the Famitsu Cup will work on a points system. By completing missions across Gurhal, players will earn points to go toward a rating (with 10 points totaling a perfect score) which can gain them entry into something known as the Platinum Palace where a "special event" is bound to take place. (Could we finally see the grand opening of the Commune Club in Clyez City?) It should be noted that the missions available in this event will all center around different themes including luck, friendship, perseverance and intuition. Also, a number of special items will become available during the Famitsu Cup. Some can be obtained by completing certain missions while others are gotten through currently unknown methods. These items include:

• Bukra Famitsu - a Kubara-made wand which resembles an issue of the magazine Famitsu
• Rappy Suit - an extremely rare set of clothing
• Rappy Mode - a line shield unit which generates a photon Rappy feather effect
• Song for Death - a rare grenade launcher produced by Kubara
