NA/EU PSU Update for June 8, 2007

[A2K]

http://xbox360.phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=64

[Operation: Firebreak spreads to the seabed plant!]

The damage to Parum had previously been visible and restricted to the Raffon Meadow, but now the damage has spread to the seabed plant facilities. With this, new flame attack missions appear on Parum. The missions have a high level of difficulty, but the experience and rewards potential is tremendous.

Party up with your friends and attack these missions by any means necessary!

(Names are subject to change.)

Seabed Blaze C~A
Start Counter: Holtes City Linear Train Platform
A seabed plant seriously damaged by the SEED has been discovered. Because of its late discovery, the time left before its completely lost is limited. Before the becomes totally polluted, purify all the SEED cores!

* In order to complete this mission three or more players are required.

Urgent Order C~A
Start Counter: Seabed Plant Base towards Old Mellvore City
1: Enter the plant, and 2: verify the fire contamination within. Time is short, and this mission is expected to be difficult. Purify the plant with great haste!

* In order to complete this mission four or more players are required.

* I'm not entirely certain on this point, but it looks as if these two missions don't count towards Bruce's Firebreak trade for PA Fragments.

[Acquiring the Frying Pan]

To put it simply, complete all seven Firebreak event missions, regardless of difficulty rank or performance:

Parum
-Sea of Fire
-Burning Garden
-Seabed Blaze (Added June 8th)
-Urgent Order (Added June 8th)
Neudaiz
-Heat Wave Island
-Flower of Flames
Moatoob
-Scorched Valley

* Even if you satisfy the above requirement with multiple characters, you'll only receive one per account.
* Bruce's Firebreak trade of mission results for PA fragments has no bearing on this.
* Abandoning the mission does not count as completion.

Interestingly enough, no mention is made of the 50,000,000 point requirement. This is probably just an oversight, though.

[TWO Special Event Lobbies]
Both of these will apparently be running concurrently, from June 8 to June 29:

Parum Standardization Commemoration (Parum)
When Parum was dominated by several human nations, the fight for the right of CASTs', who had been serving in the employment class up to this time, broke out. After the chaos, all the governments that had been standardized by CASTs, saw broad support.

Since then, into the present, both races have coexisted in peace. In order to further the friendship and prosperity of the two, a festival for the event is held every year, with a commemoration medal being issued.

Sonic's Birthday (Guardians Colony)
Did you know? June 23rd is Sonic's (the hero with the supersonic speed) birthday!

Sonic decorations go up all over even the Guardians Colony in the Gurhal System--going the beyond the boundaries of space and time. Welcome the enormous Sonic statue!

During this time a monster close to him can be found in certain missions?

[New high-ranking weapon boards are added.]

Most likely Sonic statues. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

It'd be interesting if they drop Castest Line armor, just because it's in the same time as cast/human event.

[pikachief]

watever happened to that big fire break stone tablet billboard thingy in the gaurdians colony 1st floor the japanese got? The one with Laia and Ethan! it looked cool and i wanted it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Esufer]

If Moatoob reaches 100%, I will also dye Esu's hair pink for a month.

[Golto]

We will get lvl 100+ jaggos in the rare spawn in one of those new parum fire Break missions so maybe the Jaggo Sonichis will have the Jao or Sonic deco and 2 other rare drops.

[Garnet_Moon]

So, now I wonder what the 50,000,000 prize will be... we'll know Friday when we finish out Parum and get the final 19mil...

[Kamica]

For anyone interested, here are videos of the two new missions that will be coming out:

Undersea Inferno

Lightning Speed

[Aralia]

It is suppose to be included with the missions. I just wonder if they are going to release the music on the xbox as well this time. (They didn't with Bruce)

[Raven5_1]

f*ck moatoob as soon as those go up i'm there.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Sonic's Birthday hmm? I knew something like this would appear >3

[Raven5_1]

[natewifi]

Oh gawd just fucking kill me, that BR music is like that guys cat and some other cat fighting in a room made of chalk boards.

Yeah...The song sucks. I hope it doesnt play on the 360 version.

[Golto]

Maybe but very doubfull they would have the 'Real' weapons that were netcafe onry. But if you look at the same update at the JPN pc/ps2 page its surprise, surprise the exact same info minus the sonic and cast lobby thingies.

They recycled the same update info. So in conclusion the 'secret' is the Frying Pan.

Custom soundtracks FTW

[Ryo_Hayasa]

I would like it, if on Sonic's Birthday:
A. Sonic and Company Show up, and we can throw him a birthday party. Maybe he'll give decoration (or the crew will give decorations depending on who you meet)

B. His World (Sonic Next-gen theme) Green Hill Zone (SA2 mix) Just as long as they don't play Open your heart (loop) or Sonic Heroes (loop) Live and Learn, maybe just please don't loop it...

Loop is what makes the Songs and Music bothersome.

[Sasamichan]

Maybe the secret prize is something totally different.

Hes thinking, since the japanese got it, we will too. Right now, we don't know for sure until we hit 50 million points.

No its the same way of getting it the JPN had. Its just not clear if we need to meet the point goal before being able to secure one for later placement in our common box. I'm not sure if the JPN unlocked the 'secret' before this update.

It says just finish each of the 7 missions without abandoning regardless of rank or missions difficulty. Then go talk to bruce in the firebreak mission in the Guardian's HQ.


We know for a fact Sasamichan that it is the frying pan because of the 360 JPN update info.

[AlphaDragoon]

Did I hear right about new weapon boards? If so, which ones?

[Yoshiflash]

new rare enemy to hunt during firebreak = fail

[Mystil]

This should be Sonic's... 16th birthday.

[Para]

I've always wondered... what if everyone wasn't so lazy and purified Parum first? Would that affect the outcome of the new missions that we are to get?

I doubt it. Chances are all the areas on the game disc that have fire contamination variants are the ones they're releasing for this event.

[-Ryuki-]

Any word on our clothes?

The song does not suck. You suck.

[Fulgore]

I'm hoping that they will release the [B] Serafi Senba to drop from the Sonic Jaggo....but, doubtful......very doubtful.

Still, I saved up a bunch-o-Serafi Feathers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Golto]

After doing more research I think my friend figured out why they had the Frying Pan info in the update info for JPN 360 eventhough we haven't unlocked it yet. The JPN pc/ps2 had already unlocked the 'secret' prize before their Fire Break mid-update. Being that they used almost the same update info from JPN pc/ps2 3-8 for our 360 6-8 update they spilled the beans early about the Frying Pan, although 99% of us already knew it was the secret.

[ShadowDragon28]

Awesome update. The lobby decoration look dang awesome. It's going to be tough to decide when to hunt for the new rare sonichi jagos and when to go do FB missions...

I rather like the original Japanese Burning Rangers theme song; the "english version"~not so much.

But listening to Rammstein's "Freur, Freur" and their other songs while doing FB missions are fun to me as well.

^ but which ones, do you know? i heard it was a knuckle but i doubt it because its tenora and the new event missions are on parum.

[Criss]

This will be a sad day for Moatoob. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

But on the other hand, I can't wait to try out those two new missions. O shi- Indoor firebreak! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[RFB]

R.I.P. Moatoob. =S at least this will (hopefully) get people off Neudaiz missions.

Moatoob is failing down ; ;

Cool new updates, now I just have to find some friends to finish those missions with, every party I join kicks me out just a few minutes after playing. Also, my girlfriend might get a kick out of the Sonic decos, she loves the current Wedding event =p

MOatoob will be abandoned..and all u will see are dust balls! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

...but Jaggos don't have feathers. That'd just be silly if they dropped that board. I wouldn't complain, because I want one too... but it'd be silly. It's probably going to be something like a Tails Unit that gives you multiple tails that spin when you run. (God I hope not)

[Siertes]

Are there any guides for new Parum Firebreak missions online? I've just been watching the YouTube videos. Lightning Speed seemed fairly straight forward, but the video quality of the other mission left me kind of confused about the splitting of the group.

Or I could just wait till tomorrow and figure it out myself in two or three runs...

Jaggo Sonichi... and it's more... TRYING to look like sonic.

Is one of those boards for the Crimson? I really want them to release that one...so that it can be out and they can get to work putting the awesome Blackheart out next.
