Unsafe Passage and FFF make sense, but Moonlight Beast? You are going from the first two missions with the lowest level creatures in the game to a random Neudaiz mission. You would think they would at least include Mizuraki Defense.

yeah.. this is a weird update lol.

I can understand Moonlight Beast.

Maybe that's how they plan to have the bosses reach level 175+ (and new drops).

I find myself wondering what AotI-grade Unsafe Passage and Fight for Food will be like.

You might actually have to wear proper element armor as a Techer in there for once. :)

My guess is that they are just going to raise the creature levels and add in the appropriate area drops. I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed up Unsafe Passage by putting in Orcadillion to replace the Sendillian or something silly like that.

Plus with Unsafe Passage/FFF there's the issue of those being the only missions with level 1 creatures which they will probably need to keep just in case one of just in case. That makes planning the new B rank level a problem. I'm pretty sure they are going to remove the old B rank with level 20 enemies and replace it with the old A rank level 30 enemies. Maybe even kick them up to level 35 or 40. But is that too big of a jump from to go from 1 to 40? I remember when I went from Unsafe Passage C to Unsafe Passage B when I first started playing. That 20 level jump was crazy. Should they keep the old S rank with level 55 enemies, get rid of the S2 level 80 enemies and jump straight to 100? Could they do it the other way around by removing the level 55 enemies and going straight to level 80? Should the missions be inter-weaved? A 10 or 15 level difference between Unsafe Passage and FFF on the same rank?

I guess I'll just wait and see. It's not like I'll see the changes over here (US servers) anytime soon, so no use worrying about it.

cool beans at leat there missions i can do lol ooh and i hope the motav drops in legacy

Dear Sonic Team, Updated missions are a waste of time if all you're doing is increasing the enemy levels.
If you don't change the spawns or add more enemies, people will just end up going back to White Beast or Seed Express.

[Arika]

It turn out to be kubara here tho.

[EspioKaos]

Moonlight Beast received Halva Rafagga (http://www.psupedia.info/Halva_Rafagga) (B grade Kubara spear) and Halva Tubola (http://www.psupedia.info/Halva_Tubola) (A grade Kubara spear, pictured above). From what I've read, Rafagga drops on C, and Tubola drops on S and S2.

New weapons in Legacy of the Light are:
* Koncuc (http://www.psupedia.info/Koncuc)
* Fraulein Rose (http://www.psupedia.info/Fraulein_Rose)
* Tension Blasters (http://www.psupedia.info/Tension_Blasters)

As far as mission adjustments go, enemy levels were upped a bit for each one, but not by enough to make much difference.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

New stuff is uselss if you can't use it in GAM mission.

Hmm... Thought it might be a more dramatic update... It seems like aside from the GAS, GAM and Supplemental updates, there isn't anything too game-changing to look forward to after those.
