Story mission
Chapter 4 of Episode 3, entitled "Separation From Mother," will be added. The SEED-Virus vaccine developed by Maya doesn't seem to be working on the AMF CASTs who went out-of-control. You will be heading to AMF HQ to look further into this, though your main purpose for going there will be to investigate an A-Photon wave which originated there.

New S-rank
Bruce's Dungeon S will be available. Note that this difficulty is accessible only by those with the expansion. Players on the original PSU will only have access to C-A difficulties.

Recruitment mission
Dagora Branch Reserves is a special mission where players will be able to assemble teams for party missions. The description implies that players' fastest clear times for party missions will be recorded and viewable here to help players choose suitable comrades.

New items
Numerous new weapons and other items will be added, including new clothes and parts. (Goshkaria set for men, Maydi set for women, Granadas set for male CASTs and Lucaral set for female CASTs.) Casino Voloyal's exchange counter will have some new stuff added, along with the normal rotation of goods. Also, Shitenkaku's offertory box will receive an update.

Will the recruitment mission also warp you to the regular party missions?

It looks like you still have to start the mission on your own. Basically, start the recruitment mission, find party members, end the mission (likely by talking to one of the NPCs in the room), then start Bruce's Dungeon.

So it's only for Bruce? =/

Well, not really. The description specifies it's for party missions, but I don't see why we wouldn't be able to use it for free or co-op missions.

How many months behind are NA/EU/AU/360 servers? Anyone have the link to the thread that lists everything JP has that we're still waiting for (edit, thanks for the bumping that thread http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif )?

My question is, if it's that seperated from every other mission- what point will it serve?

I suppose we'll just have to see.

The S difficulty of Her Secret Mission will be out in Japan next month. We'll also see the introduction of Parum's first party mission, "Her Hero Is a Thief."

Unfortunately, I've heard nothing on this Friday's update for us. Usually the Japanese 360 site is updated by Wednesday, so hopefully we'll see something soon.

Don't see why he would. It's a common story device... Thief saves girl, thief runs off, girl tries to find thief, etc.

The only possibility I can think of would be the Lapucha drop change (I believe they drop the [B] Arb Boa starting at level 130 [?]).

Not at all. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Technically, the full translation would be "The Girl's Hero Is a Thief-in-the-Making," but that just sounds... ridiculous. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif So "Her Hero Is a Thief" is my abridged version.

/facepalm

Oh well. Wonder what the new caseal parts look like.

Edit: Oh, duh, I can just click on the link and look. Hmm, kinda plain. I might be able to find a use for the body. The maid outfit for fleshie girls looks like yet another thing that'll look stupid on my 6'10 beast, so that's out. And as always, guys just can't get a freaking decent pair of pants.

Bruce S is a very hilarious proposal; hopefully there'll be some differences from the other ranks in it (like new puzzles 'cause I still know the old ones by heart).

Disappointingly, Bruce's S is listed as having L140 enemies. Pretty sure that's the highest yet, though, so maybe before too long we'll get somewhere.
