Last time was Lumia, this time might be Viviance, since she has her double saber now?

Working Vivienne into the story all of a sudden seems a bit odd (since I don't think she's even been referenced in Episode 3), but I guess it's possible. At some point, I've got to go back and do all of the subplots; all I've finished so far is the main storyline.

because they didn't say that the new sub-plot will be only at EP-10. They can add a few sub-plot for Viviance during EP 3-1 -> 3-10. wherever they feel like it.

Vivienne is on Rykros, so that is a possibility. Neat idea! ^.-
I personally hope to finally see Dark Fish!
ST is so greedy with creating new stuff that they would never let any skin go to waste without it being used in a story mission....
Go Dark Fish, go! :)

Thanks for bringing us the news, Espio! ^^

and jp servers get their usual updates again. its kinda depressing to know how little effort SOA puts into this game.

still nice to see someone get something though. wasnt expecting any more story stuff for you guys

And yet we got Easter first. ;-) Of course I'll get flamed for saying that, but it's so much fun to NOT cry about the 'lack' of updates here.

The regional servers started within 3 months of the Japanese servers. We are now 9-12 months minimum behind theirs. At the current rate of decline, we will be lucky to get the recent AoTI supplemental update by mid-2010.

What's worse is that we are all paying a monthly fee to play. So they are getting more content for their money while we are paying close to 33-50% more for the exact same content and in some cases less. If the game was free I would not have a problem with the lack of content. As I am paying for this game, I have an invested interested in seeing that we get what we are paying for.

we had parum GBR and then winter carnival, almost back to back.
considering each lasted a bit over 1 month, we had 2 months and a half of new content/event. And that was it. Months before: nothing, months after: nothing.
Not exactly an increase :(

edit: oh yeah, lobbies do NOT count as "new". JP servers always get some new story, event or whataver with the lobbies.

I know we were behind like 9-12 months but in the past months sega has rly come back as far as giving updates, there's just a small waiting period b4 shred of darkness... but seriously to much complaining -.-

There's always gonna be complaining. D:

I'm hoping they do more back to back update, though. NA/EU PSU needs to haul-ass.

didnt sega say at some point the they were gonna close the gap... and yet it seems to be getting worse...
im so tired of hearing everything JP gets and i cant quite understand why it takes more than a year for the ):< EU/US >:( tog et a downgraded version of it...

and i read something earlier about them not having proper communication with the JP devs? BS... it doesnt take much to hire one...

... i despise sega... i wish they would sell PSU to someone whod do more with it... or at least grow another brain cell and do something productive... :/

Compensation for the Server Failiure on April Fools Day.
10 silvers a day until next weeks maintenance on the 16th!

Now if only they'd put something worthwhile in the casino exchange...

Turns out that the extra stuff added to the final chapter also can get you another partner card. This one I'm really looking forward to getting!

Spoilers in this screen if you can read Japanese.

That's an interesting NPC.
Didn't ya post a pic someone playing with him before?

Oh, yeah. But it was under slightly different circumstances. That was only for one mission (and a very small part of the mission at that).

How do you get the subplots anyway?

EspioKaos

They all depend on the choices you make (and how well you do) in previous story missions.

Actually the subplot revolves around Magashi this time with Lou and Vivian playing parts in his story, so you only guessed 1/3 of the actual subplot :P

You also need to have S ranked Magashi Obliteration and spammed enough Innocent Girl to trigger the additional scenes in For Brighter Day, all for the Devil's Partner Card... Team him up with the donkey PM!
