JP-PC/PS2 content update for February 14

[EspioKaos]

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=612

Seasonal lobby
Running from February 14 until February 28, the Valentine's Day event will be in effect. Get out there and hunt down those Rappy Amures!

New field
One new field (and its corresponding lobby) is being added to Moatoob: Il Cabo Base!

New mission
To go along with the new field, a brand new mission is being added. (Tentatively) entitled Remote Experimental Base (http://psupedia.info/Remote_Experimental_Base), players will be sent in to purify the SEED-infected native creatures which have overrun the base that once was used by the AMF as a research and experiment facility.

New items
Two new EX Devices are being added.
EX Device GH461 (requires battle stat LV40+)
EX Device GH465 (requires battle stat LV50+)

New items will be added to the Casino Voloyal's exchange counter, and certain items will be rotated out.

New room goods will be added.

Shitenkaku's offering box will be updated.

[Sasamichan]

Not bad. Nice to see a couple of the 460 series being released.

[CelestialBlade]

Remote Experimental Base better not be another goddamn fucking boring cave mission, or I'm going to burn things.

Other than that, awesome update XD

[Chibi_psu]

Finally a new mission....I wonder if we will have any mission on the beach...a mission like pso episode 2 would be great.Oh and i want that 461!!!!

[Arika]

I m sure next misison after this = moatoob relic

[Ezodagrom]

From the pic of the mission it kinda looks like endrum remnants...

[CelestialBlade]

That screenshot does look badass. We're actually getting a new map, awesome XD

[Silver_Wyrm]

OOPS nvm

Yeah, I agree. The picture of the new mission does look pretty cool.

ST seems to love catering towards the loliphiles.

[Chibi_psu]

I need to ask this for jp players(sorry for offtopic lol).Anyone know if there are more interactive decos for sale?Like the electric fan, the well or the scale.I really like these kind of decos and any info would be great http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[CelestialBlade]

Those PMs are adorable. Loving the bunny ears on the first one.

[vfloresjr24]

thanks for the pics espiokaos

[Ken_Silver]

When I saw those new PM's I seriously lol'd.

Then I began to wonder about the people who do the character designs at ST. -_-

Well, there are little boy and butler PM's too. Nothing's sacred in PSU http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Kylie]

Ooh, those PM's are so adorable. D: And yayy, more love for Moatoob!

[DoubleJG]

Wow, those are the two new PMs? I swear, ST is nothing but a group of perverted old men that sit around the computer thinking of ways to add more fan service to this game.. -_-

It'd be nice if they decided to make some COOL PMs with pimped out armor and battle suits,.. enough with the half-naked little girls already.

[CelestialBlade]

Oh come on, like you've never seen a child in a one-piece. If they were perverted old men, they'd be in string bikinis or something.

Where is this "fan service," exactly?

[Xaeris]

I'm sure we've all seen children in one piece swimwear...at the beach. Putting them in swimwear when they're non combat models that are going to be spending all their time in your room; yeah, that's fanservice.

[pikachief]

i know where's my service!?

GIB FoI!!!

[Ruru]

Fan service? I'm pretty sure they're having loads of fun just designing the loli characters more so than we are by simply using them. Lets just say i think they're serving themselves in that since considering those models start out naked and we only see the finished product http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Never heard of backyard pools either, I guess. Or just never have been around kids.

I kinda wonder about people who see loli in every single thing, anyway. Seeing a one-piece and an inner tube on a child as "fanservice" is pretty disturbing, even if Sega does have a history of being perverted.

[Noblewine]

Sweet they finally decided to put another mission in the other gate.

All I'm saying is, of all things to think up when it comes to newer PM models, they think "little girls in swimsuits"? XD

Sure. But I'll take it over the panty-shot shit.

[Lykos]

New mission and lobby sounds interesting. Other then that there's not much to care for. Still waiting for PA exp update. That's supposed to be this month for JP, right?

I'll agree with you on that; Panty shots are just sad.

@Lykos - That should be a great update. Although some PAs level at good enough speeds, some just take way too long..

Right. According to SonicTeam's schedule, after this update, all that's going to be missing for February is chapter 5 of Episode 3, Her Secret Mission S and that EXP boost for some slow-leveling photon arts.

Fine, fine, backyard pools too. While you're splitting hairs, would you like to throw in the car ride to summer camp? The point is that context plays a role here. A child in a swimsuit when he or she is actually going to be doing some swimming is nothing to look twice at. When they're in a swimsuit for the hell of it, it's not strange for someone to wonder "why?"

By the way, this: Seeing a one-piece and an inner tube on a child as "fanservice" is pretty disturbing,? Laughably novice tactic.

[Zorafim]

Little girls in maid outfits, I can live with that. Cute little butlers, kind of creepy, but okay. But shapely little girls in swimwear?
That, and the knowledge that the same people probably made the Jenkel and Voloyal sets, not to mention the bikinis and the customizable bust size...

How long is PSOW going to be able to keep its "child friendly" atmosphere with all this happening?

[dingo123]

anyone know when they are going to get the update where they make it easy to level Photon Arts?

and when is the US getting this?

[Shiryuu]

Really don't know why people are all bent out of shape. She's wearing a tube around waist to cover her stuff. Little boy PM wears extremely short shorts, and you all seem to be fine with it... :/

And also, the PM has existed since v1 PSU. They just never released it. Have to check PSUPedia more often.

[Zorafim]

It's sort of a straw and camel thing, at least in my case.

[ryvius]

Wasn't a decent portion of the population here pretty much like "omfg gross" when the little boy PM was released? :/

[Xaeris]

I don't particularly care enough to raise a stink over it; I made my peace with the cheese in this game a while ago. My initial reaction is to just roll my eyes and make a mental note to leave the 46x devices on the shelf. However, if someone's going to act like this is perfectly normal and project pedo thoughts onto anyone who actually does go "wtf?" my next reaction will be "lulz, no."

[Turambar]

The only fanservice I see would be the bunny ears. As for their size and outfit, I'm sure we've all seen small characters in swimsuits and such in game already. This isn't a blight upon your virgin eyes. Calm down.

As long as SonicTeam stick to their schedule, the boost to slower leveling photon arts should be coming this month. After this Thursday's update, there will be only two more opportunities in February, so they'll see it either next week or the week after.

As for when we're getting this, unfortunately nothing official has been announced.

[Sinue_v2]

The point is that context plays a role here.

Two words: Small Beasts.

Legal and "socially acceptable" Pedophilia. Yeah yeah, children make ideal mine workers so it makes sense to restrict their maturation. Whatever. That's not the dominant impression you get when seeing Liina hang all over Tylor's nuts regardless of what her stated age is.

Hyuga and Lumia's "relationship" doesn't help improve PSU's image much either - and the PM's are just icing on the loli-cake.

[Nai_Calus]

Let's not forget that minimum height in this game is just short of four feet tall. Yes. Four feet. 121cm. 47.6377953 inches.

Invariably, these characters are '18! Honest!'. Usually 29kg, just short of 64lbs.

Reeeeeally. Pity about your dwarfism, guys. Come on, even the chicks in Sailor Moon aren't that short. Sailor Moon is 14 years old when that series starts, the minimum for joining the Guardians, and she's 4'11, FFS.

Come on, four feet is the average height for an eight year old. I don't care how big of boobs you slap on it(And usually these lolis have tiny or no boobs), you're not fooling anybody. X_x;

PSU is full of lolis and perversion no matter how much anybody tries to argue against it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

New area looks like Labs but outside from that shot. Well, we'll see in a few more hours once maint ends. Yhey, time to hunt (c)Rappies. For stuff I don't want. Yhey.

It's a little odd that for once they're not pimping 'lots of new weapons!', normally they pimp that even if it 's one fucking thing.

Watch it be L140 enemies that are all from elsewhere on Moatoob, thus indeed *not* bringing new weapons. >_>

[Danger_Girl]

Eh, I kind of have to agree with Typheros on this one. It just seems to be an extension of the whole chibi scene that is wildly popular in japan (and I guess here in the west to an extent). Seems clear to me the PM designs tap into, and seek to capitalize on that brand of fandom. Whether or not sexuality is at the core is perhaps subject to interpretation, but for the vast majority I personally don't think it is.

Anyway, it's not like this is anything new. The images of these PMs have been around since PSU day 1.

[Zorafim]

See, I'd like to think that it's just innocent fun, like I liked to think that the caseal parts and female cloths were simply expository for style instead of perversity. Now I'm starting to think otherwise.

[YUKI_N]

So now that its confirmed Il Cabo is a reskin area, is the final number for new content in AOI 3 enemies (grass assassin, giant rappy, de rol) and 2 areas (Rozenom and Habirao)?

How depressing

Apparently you haven't been paying attention to the Japanese at all, IE: One-piece bathing suits are a major fetish.

I was referring specifically about the Partner Machine designs.

In regards to the clothing options, well lets not kid ourselves. Perverse may be too strong a word, but the Casino uniform is clearly sexual. But is it anything you wouldn't see...for example on prime time television? Again, lets be honest. I would go so far as to say it's pretty tame by those standards. Also, the game is rated teen in part due to suggestive themes.

ST? Change something?

AHAHAHAHDAKHDSLJHDSLJHDsdaljfhsdjfhsdjfhshahhahaha hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh I needed that laugh.

[EspioKaos]

Just going to throw this out there: the Moatoob RELICS site will have a slightly different drop chart from other RELICS sites. Aside from the normal [B] Psycho Wand and Relics Edge, other area drops include [B] Zaks Brebac and [B] Arb Breboac. No, it's nothing extra special, but it is a change from the norm.

Epic win. You win Google.com

As for the whole "pedo" issue, I think that Sonic Team maybe mocking it more than anything. Besides, all of the PSU content is normal for JPN. It only bothers the US people because of the differences in culture.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it, but you wouldn't see those PM's in my room. I like the older crowd http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Like the Casino beast girls http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

It's just a game. Let the world of Phantasy Star stay that: a Phnatasy... err... Fantasy.
