Maximum Attack Infinity
* Our next event, Maximum Attack Infinity (http://psupedia.info/Maximum%20Attack%20Infinity), will feature a crossover with PSP2i. This event is scheduled to run from April 25 through May 23. See below for full details and translations from the event site.

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/mainfinity/

Story
Incredible damage has been suffered across Gurhal due to the SEED attacks. But the damage is not limited to the planets, as surrounding space colonies have suffered similar fates. In order to help with reconstructing damaged colonies, construction has begun on the experimental warship "Clad 0."

Engineered by Sky Clad's top designer, this warship is based on AMF battleships; its construction is supported by many prominent Parum corporations such as Inhelt Co. and GRM.

A wide array of equipment was transported to Clad 0 in order to build a new VR training program for private use, based on AMF and GUARDIANS battle simulators.

After everything was in place, the main switch was thrown, and... the VR program successfully started!
However, for some reason Clad 0 soon began to lose control, and gradually began to fall out of orbit, threatening to collide with other colonies being rebuilt in the vicinity... The program which has corrupted the operating system causing it to run out of control must be identified! So, in order to avert disastrous collisions, the GUARDIANS have initiated "Operation: Sky Park Levitation!"

Event features
* New fields! As the event's enemy kill count rises, new fields such as the seabed plant and mysterious ruins sites will be opened!
* Special multipliers! Special multipliers will be in place, boosting EXP payout and item drop rates. Perfect for raising your character and hunting down brand new items!
* Various event rewards! All participants will be eligible to receive four special weapon rewards! And aside from the usual kill count rewards, you can earn points from your individual enemy kills to go toward even more item exchanges!

Event missions
Falling Sky Park (prologue mission)
We seem to be stuck in a little bit of a problem. Would you be able to lend me a hand?
Hyuga Ryght

Ark to the Future (main mission)
The VR program of Clad 0 suddenly went out of control, and now many strange phenomena have began occurring inside the ship! Protect the colony!

6P Mission Standby (recruiting mission)
An event-exclusive standby area. Meet up with new party members here.

As news came in that Clad 0's programming was out of control, the G. Colony's Resident Security Department geared up to lend a hand. Many new items have been added to the exchange counter to help with the crisis at hand!

Event rewards
* Cross-linked panel rewards between the PSU version of the event and the PSP2i version will determine the four weapon rewards eared after the end of the event. The abilities of the TECHNIC and ranged weapon rewards will be indicated on their respective panels; striking weapon reward panels will show their attribute rate. After the event ends, you will be able to choose one element for striking weapons at an exchange mission where you will collect your weapon.
* Kill count panels will be used, as with many previous events. As you and your party rack up enemy kills, totals will be added to the overall tally, unlocking new panel rewards as the event progresses. Certain rewards will be implemented immediately while others will be issued after the end of the event.
* Individuals will earn points based on the number of enemies they have killed. These points can then be used to trade in toward items in the event prologue mission.

Seasonal lobbies
* From April 25 through May 26, Maximum Attack Infinity decorations will be on display.
* The Parum Unification Commemoration begins April 25 and will run through May 26.

Mission updates
* Special Exchange 3rd will be updated with new items.

New fields
* Three new fields will be added: Clad 0 (space colony), seabed labs (subspace research facility) and Holy Ark Crowley.

System updates
* The following monsters will be updated to improve how they interfere with player movements:
- Grinna Bete C
- Grinna Bete S
- Kagajibari
- Lutus Jigga
- Orgdus
- Svaltus
- SEED-Ardite
- Bead Groode

Item updates
* New items will be added, including (but not limited to) Grandia (spear) and Repulsion Will (twin saber).
* The current GC Shop gacha will be replaced. It will include new costumes such as Angel Perfume (female clothes) and Eternal Form (female parts).
* The Parum Unity Souvenir will be on sale at the Variety Shop from April 25 through May 26.
* Casino rotation.

[Vent]

That's one way to introduce the new fields...

Like the cross-linked system.

EDIT: You can already create a page for that Divine Staff Amaterasu (or something like that) to psupedia Espio :D)

[str898mustang]

gib 20% Grind Boost plox!!1!

[PSO God/Ability]

hell yeah! i'll have 2 180's with at least 1 type fully GAS'd each by the end of this!!!

[PSO God/Ability]

not sure if it is a Rod or Wand, but that tech weapon on one of the reward panels Starts with 1000 tech and 2000pp!!! if it's a rod it's just ok, but if it's a wand it may be the best one yet!

[Nereid]

Sega y u no give me time to study finals x.x

[Vashyron]

Awesome.

[Vent]

It's a rod and I have the proof!

Obviously, the character using the item in question on this page (http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp2i/mainfinity/) is casting a hold-TECH. Now even though the female casting animation for hold-TECHs with a wand and rod are rather similar, there's a notable difference.
When casting with a wand, the character is stationary and the left foot is at the front (which is default for the stationary pose).
When casting with a rod, the character will step forward with her right foot and thus having her right foot in front of her left. This is the case in the screenshot.

So there you have it. It's a rod! :D

[Psu5675]

this is not fair JP get to much and Sega still give xbox360 no better

people that post about JP update3 are evil go no a JP FORUM and post it
english only PSU like XBOX360 here only PLZ

[Crysteon]

That rod is Divine Amaterasu, one of the ultimate weapons of PSP2i (16*). I wonder if they will leave it as 15* or lower their power or something, lol.

[Ryno]

oh yes finally techer weapons!

[LP_Phoenix]

have u really thought, xbox will get anything? just because pc/ps2 closed.... its always like that and it will like that forever. jp gets more and xbox cant catch up with jp anymore. its impossible...jp is more lucrative for sega so xbox doesnt matter. but we dont need to dicuss that again, we got tons of topics for that

so back to topic, so this time u got both, individual kill count and overall....but there are not the same? so like u end a mission with for example with 300 enemies and u got 300 points overall and what about the individual?maybe like mp style? so maybe u get 50mp for each run...
and the weps u can see on the new site, so a rod, one doublesaber, twinsaber, saber, and the two "guns" looks like one grenade and dont know it and what the hell is that thing at the right side? O.o rifle handgun? i never played the portables, so idk all the weps

[Crysteon]

It's +300 for the global counter and +300 for your individual counter, plus MP D:

As for the panels, I could try to predict which weps are there, but perhaps until we could see the full sized version of it D:

[kazuuya]

Aw this whole event sounds so exciting! I can't wait! ^3^ Need to level my Character a bit, because I normally only play with my friend together. xD *is only LV12 atm*

[Vashyron]

I'm hoping these new areas will include their respective PSP2/i Boss. (If not the enemies as well!)

Probably not since they would likely advertise that, but who knows.

[Crysteon]

The 6P rooms give me a bad feeling about missions length and bosses actually....but expecting bosses at this rate would be too optimistic x_x

Adding Crownley with Falz Dios....NOOOO! *shivers*

[GlacialTerror]

ANOTHER event??? Didn't the last one just end last week??? Man I can't keep up! I play on both servers so I'm like in event overload lol

Edit: Also, does this mean that the Update 3rd isn't going to be one big update? I figured they were adding the new fields and all the other stuff in a mega update, but I see this already will have new fields without the other things like new PA's and such.

[Ezodagrom]

There's not a proper update page for this maintenance yet (I'll edit it into this post once it's available)
Basically, we don't have all info yet about the April 25 update.

[Crysteon]

Nope, it's not a single patch update at all. They will pretty much add a weekly patch like they did with 2nd update, just adding the essentials according to the planned content that is gonna be released that day.

But....iirc, when 2nd Update hit us, we got a big patch (around 400-500MB)....while weekly patches were of 30-160MB. We have to wait to see what happens this time.

[FOkyasuta]

Thankfully I'll only miss one day for a good reason. Weeew.

[Nereid]

Harmph, I wonder if those Twin Sabers pictured on the website are S or A Rank. And I wonder what that odd circular thing is...seems like it might be a TCSM/RCSM?

[Crysteon]

Oh, you mean Astral Blades, Nereid? They were both A and S ranks on PSP2i (they had several versions, I, II, III, etc). Skia Blade is the saber (it had the same pattern as Astral Blades). Clad Shag is a shadoog, Massacre Bunker is a Grenade Launcher, and Double Waber is a Double Saber.

[Nereid]

Ohh cool sounds good to me, sounds good to me, indeed. Thanks!

[Shou]

errr.... release the techniques...

[str898mustang]

errr.... release the techniques...

srsly...

[Crysteon]

Just wish they can be obtained with PA frags, otherwise we will be doomed to trade at RSD or spend AMP or even GC for them.

[Nereid]

Yes, I agree. There is already too much that needs to be bought with AMP. PA Frags basically just collect dust now, it's annoying >.>

[unicorn]

Oh how I love the JP servers. :)

[Vent]

'Odd circular thing' is probably a longbow.

[Tyreek]

The odd circular thing is Clad Shag. I recall it was a R-Mag on PSP2.

[Psu5675]

post some videos then about update3 and what it looks like

[EspioKaos]

The full April 25 update notes were posted at the official site this morning; I've edited the first post to include these details. Also...

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1379

* Maintenance which would have occurred April 28 has been moved to April 25. It will also begin one hour earlier than normal.
* The patch file for this update will be approximately 520 MB. Due to its size, server loads and your connection, downloads obviously will take longer. Please keep this in mind.
* The size of the patch file download after maintenance will not be smaller by having downloaded the patches up to this maintenance period.
* If you want to make sure you get your daily stamps and player record log in day for April 25, please try to log in before maintenance begins.

And...

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1375

In commemoration of update 3rd beginning April 25, a special campaign is being held to give special GC-only items as gifts to participants. And all you have to do...? Just log in! Here are the periods you must log in to be eligible.

April 25 - May 11
* Receive "PA EXP +100%" x1

May 12 - May 26
* Receive "EXP +100%" x1

The items will be distributed to eligible players at some point (TBA) after the campaign ends. Even if you log in multiple times during a period, you will receive only one of the item. However, if you log in with one character on each entrance, you will be able to get one item per entrance. If you log in at least once during both periods, you will receive one of each; likewise, logging in during each period with one character on each entrance will get you two of each item.

[str898mustang]

* The patch file for this update will be approximately 520 MB. Due to its size, server loads and your connection, downloads obviously will take longer. Please keep this in mind.


Holy $!*&

So much for playing before work. Those servers better be up early!

[Anon_Fire]

people that post about JP update3 are evil go no a JP FORUM and post it

well, who's fault is that?

and you say we're evil because we talk about Update 3rd? lol

[str898mustang]

well, who's fault is that?

and you say we're evil because we talk about Update 3rd? lol

he's just jealous, lol

[psu000]

who is the admin here, is it Dragwind or Ryna. Maybe it's time to request for a JP sub forum on PSOW. There are so many post for JP as well as X360 these days and it's easily get mixed up with the info being given here. Certainly it will avoid so flaming post

[Ishia]

So Ryna/Dragwind should submit to the wants of a person with a mental disease and learning disability who probably shouldn't be on the Internet anyway?

[Tyreek]

He'll just have to deal with it. Espio and others have gone about posting JP updates for years now without a stint. Well... Except for that backlash of hate when the PC/PS2 servers got shut down and Espio's thread got closed. Oh well, we're some of us are over it.

On topic: 520MBs hmm? My last download had to have been 1-2GBs seeing as I have missed a slew of updates since my last play. I hope I won't suffer through another couple of days of failed downloading from an atrocious internet.

[Crysteon]

520Mb? I expected more than that...but I know it's gonna take forever if everyone is DLing it at the same time...I wonder if Crownley is gonna be used as map on this event (it's too soon, tbh).

[EspioKaos]

I wonder if Crownley is gonna be used as map on this event (it's too soon, tbh).
It will be, though I bet we'll have to unlock it first with enemy kills. But yeah, I was thinking the same thing about it being released so soon. I figured they'd add it more toward the release of PSO2, considering what they seem to be implying with the events of Infinity.

[Tyreek]

I read that maps will get unlocked as the kill count get higher. Crowley probably will be last. It'd be fitting if it was too.

Edit: Ninja'd lol.

[Crysteon]

Yup, that makes a lot of sense lol.

EDIT: I tried to measure Grandia's range with other spears on PSP2i....hmmmm....seems to have the same range as a Lanzanata, but who knows...they migth nerf it D:

[pikachief]

AWESOME! :D Can't wait! (except for the fact that I'm always in school when there's an event and the internet anywhere around the area is too slow to download any updates -_-)

[Crysteon]

AWESOME! :D Can't wait! (except for the fact that I'm always in school when there's an event and the internet anywhere around the area is too slow to download any updates -_-)

I feel ya man D: ...my finals begin one week after the event starts x_x

[pikachief]

I feel ya man D: ...my finals begin one week after the event starts x_x

lol ya i just got home on break and last event ended not too long ago, now this one begins right when i go back X.x lol

haha it looks awesome though and I may be able to catch the last few days of it :P

[Red*]

nice news, cant wait :D

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

Ahh the patch is so slow :(

Tifa

[Magil]

i get error 021 xD and no patching

[PSO God/Ability]

i get error 021 xD and no patching

me too, they just posted something about it on the JP website. here is the link.
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1386

[Magil]

now its patching and thx for the info PSO God/Ability

[cristfc]

me too, they just posted something about it on the JP website. here is the link.
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1386
same here, official site said to reinstall client or try again, ill try reinstall it =[
I thought it was why there is lot of people downloading it same time and its big

[kazuuya]

Did you just wait a little bit@Magil?
Because I get the weird error too. x___x

Because I translated the link posted above with help of a translator and it says something of reinstalling the client again. D: I'm so confused.

EDIT/ Oh wait I did it! XD I was just clicking the "try again" button thing. Lol. (The lower button when the Error comes.) Update Yayz!

[cristfc]

reinstalled here and it keep give me this error...
Ill setup a turbo controller to keep clicking on "retry" while I go to work =]
and I thought reinstall will not delete my other updates.. but it reseted anything on game, now, ill have download all patches again =[

EDIT 3: YES, FINALLY ITS DOWNLOADING... Then who got this error, follow kazuuya tip, only keep clicking on "retry" button after error (default selected button)

[Vent]

My magic sphere tells me that in 3 hours (before my update even finishes damnit!), we'll unlock the first milestone.

[Magil]

7% and now there is a big file °:°

[Shirai]

15%.

I'm giving this another 10 hours.

[Vashyron]

53%, Wheee. Took 2 hours so far so probably 2 more.

[Angry_Ryudo]

56% after 4 hours... my connection is so shitty.

[Mystic_Nessly]

56% after 4 hours... my connection is so shitty.

The slow speed is probably not your problem. It could be that many people are getting the update at once.

I've downloaded PSU JAP updates at speeds over 300 kB/s, but this time I'm downloading at a mere 28 kB/s. (I'm using a bandwidth monitor, Netlimter, to measure this).

[kazuuya]

Wow after all that time it only loaded 14%. This is going to be a looooong day. OTL I think I'm going to play some Megaman meanwhile. LOL.

[psu000]

finally finished dl, back in the game now. Took me 6hr 40mins


In the room at the moment, but it feels very slow, like a lot of lag.

[cristfc]

my connection is 10mbps and all PSUJP updates are capped to 300kbps (downloading 30kb per second) =[

[gundam0079]

i finished with 2 hours download time. now some1 plz explain to me how to play the event

[Nereid]

I'm glad I slept in all day, it's only been about 10 minutes and it's at 22%. Not great, but meh.

[Crysteon]

inb4Roleiasbosson2ndroute

Lawl. It's annoying, I swear....

[LP_Phoenix]

its de rol.....

[WiZ1988]

I need someone to clarify for me what all we get from this event. After the mission it said I had 271 points for something, I know thats for the event but exactly what. Do we also get AMP? I thought I heard that but am not sure. For the event when your in the Clad room you have like 3 different doors to choose from, what are the differences in the rooms and are the drops different? Obviously the enemies and such but do I need to keep doing the same one or what? Thanks for any info

[Nereid]

There is both an individual kill counter like the last event, and a server wide kill counter like Absolute Zero or MAG.

I'm a little disappointed, though. When they announced this update I was scared that my laptop would not be able to handle the new stuff, but everything was fine so I was please. Then I got to the boss and it was a slideshow x.x

The number that appears after the reward page is the number of kills you have accumulated total.

HEre is the event page to see the total enemies killed and rewards for reaching certain "milestones."
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/mainfinity/

[WiZ1988]

Ok.Thanks. Do we also recieve AMP or am I wrong?

[Nereid]

No AMP.

[WiZ1988]

Ok...does it matter which door you choose at the beginning of the mission?

[Nereid]

Different maps, different enemies, different boss. Different drops I assume, only have done the Ragnus map myself.

[Mystic_Nessly]

<error>

[cristfc]

how much svaltus in boss fight?

[Nereid]

There are 2 at a time, 6 total, I think. You don't need to kill them, though.

[cristfc]

nice, cannot wait to see it, if my pc has finished with updates =]

[LP_Phoenix]

8 svaltus at boss, de rol is all alone no 2nd enemy

and btw...magical wand on s3 ragnus

[WiZ1988]

I hear ya....I wander what else is dropping in the different missions, anyone have any info on that?

[kazuuya]

I found a Gekka on the DeRol Le Road. o.o I was surprised because I did a C run due to my low level.

[LP_Phoenix]

gekka on c?......%&/( where is the hyakka ...damnit

more updates for JP

[str898mustang]

yep it's awesome

[str898mustang]

Those Japanos need to hurry up and unlock the next area. The first two stages are so boring.

it'll be unlocked most likely by friday

[Crysteon]

lolJapanos...

Yeah, it will be open by friday, knowing how the counter is going up day by day (2.5-4mil kills per day)

[Shou]

I wonder if they will surprise us with new enemies in the new route. One can dream right? :wacko:

[Crysteon]

I wonder if they will surprise us with new enemies in the new route. One can dream right? :wacko:

Stop dreaming for now. I highly doubt they will add Sharks and Jeris to Inhelt Labs area (I'm assuming it will have bots, and Mother Brain as boss, since Badia wasnt annouced as new boss either).

If they were to add new enemies to new areas, you wouldnt bear Crowley monster layout. Bringertias will annoy you by draining the PP of your weapons and bitchslapping you endlessly.

[gundam0079]

I just want to know what the dam trade mission screens say....T.T i want my skia blade

[Crysteon]

Oh, choose 3rd option, then second option (first is materials, second is weaponry).Skia Blade is the third one.

[DarkEliteRico]

Nice way for me to return to the game after nearly 2 years of being away. Damn shame I'm starting from scratch though.

[kazuuya]

Hey I have a Question, I was wondering about something. x__x On the Page with the Kill counter, there are displayed that four weapons. I suppose they are rewards right? Does it mean that we get the first reward when the kill counter reachers 13mil? I mean this site btw: http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/mainfinity/ (Since the Event got changed due to the PSN Problems.)

[Crysteon]

We wont get them instantly, but after the event is done.

If this works like MAX, we will actually get all weapons, but the purpose of the milestones work as a % increaser (in case the weapon has an element) meaning that reaching the milestone grants us the right to get the weapon with max % (50%).

There is also a deadline for reaching the milestone, which shall be fulfilled in order to be able to obtain the weapon with max %.

And btw, the counters are not joint with PSP2i version anymore, since they have issues with PSN atm. They will get different rewards and weapons once the event starts for them.

[kazuuya]

Oh I see thank you so much Crysteon! I think the counter numbers had confused me. xD
But good to know. Sad the PSP People can't join. D: But it's good they get their own Event.

[Omega-z]

Crysteon I'm wondering now how there going to be added in? I don't think it would be thru the Milestones we have or the point exchange. We may have too wait until the PSPi have there event before we get those rewards Maybec?

[Crysteon]

Crysteon I'm wondering now how there going to be added in? I don't think it would be thru the Milestones we have or the point exchange. We may have too wait until the PSPi have there event before we get those rewards Maybec?

Did you play MAX last time? If not, at the end of the event people who played the event missions received special tickets you could use to get one of each weapon in a RSD mission. If I recall correctly, I read on a japanese site (I think it was 4Gamer x_x) that we will receive coupons also useable to trade for these new weapons.

And as for milestones, I refer it to the goal kill count required to "unlock" certain weapon, not the general kill count panel with rewards.

[GlacialTerror]

New route from psp2 is unlocked! Boss is mother brain with the robot bees.

[str898mustang]

New route from psp2 is unlocked! Boss is mother brain with the robot bees.

yeah Motherbrain being the boss is a big disappoint

[WiZ1988]

So we can exchange our event points for stuff?I was told that wasn't the case.

[Vent]

That's correct. This (http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/mainfinity/item/)is the Japanese page of the prizes:

Video of the new area unlocked! (Note: Music is not from PSU.)

Around the 2:00 Mark is the secret action.

[Crysteon]

Jin Kisaragi's theme!! Oh brooootheeeeer! lolz.

Yeah, that video works fine to explain the SA. Thanks for the upload \o/

Btw...if anyone is interested on having Inhelt Lab original BGM and Holy Ark Crowley PSP2i track, I have them in adx format (PSU format)...so send me a PM if you want me to share them to you guys :P (I also have the Little Wing theme as adx file if you wanna replace original Trial End track D:)

[Tyreek]

You would think SEGA have added the music from PSP2 with these updated areas...

In any case, my game is updated finally! I hope I can find some people to play with soon. Everyone seems high leveled by the looks of it. :/

Edit: Ugh... It not even letting me in. Are people playing right now or is there some emergency maintainence going on? It won't access the server period lol.

[Ezodagrom]

It's very rare for event missions to have the area music, they usually use something different. In this case, we can choose a music before entering one of the routes (there's not many musics to choose from though).

Also, I'm having no problems in logging in.

[Vashyron]

It's not just that it's just a event mission, they didn't update any new Music files to PSU.

Quite disappointed there.

[Ezodagrom]

It's not just that it's just a event mission, they didn't update any new Music files to PSU.

Quite disappointed there.
Well, they could be doing the 3rd update by parts, maybe after the event they could add music for the areas, enemies, bosses?
Or maybe they're just doing this the lazy way, introducing new areas, but using old musics and enemies. ._.

[Omega-z]

Crysteon, I mean how will it be added now with the delay because of the PSPi issue. I was there last time with MAX. But was going off what they said off the PSPi event page that they wanted both groups to compete before they give the tickets out or give out prize since it was a group effort. Now I'm not sure since they are changing how the PSPi will gain the rewards but AOTI would be the same. Now since they had said that the thing is how are we going to obtain the rewards without the milestone page info for those rewards or are we going to get those rewards automatically with only participation as the requirement, ie...of course thru tickets. Sorry for not making myself clear before.:)


Update: Crysteon, don't worry about it now they just updated the page for our side and added the rewards there and have it the same as before. Thank you for your replies any ways :)

Hm new panel looks like it could be 2x AMP from GAM missions, can anyone confirm this that knows what it says?

[Crysteon]

Two weeks of Extra Stage and First Stage AMP gain x2.

Is it me or....milestones are getting harder to reach.......? I guess last route will be something like 50mil.......

[Nereid]

Meh not as exciting as originally thought. Will get me through DT/R faster...Extra Stage is just Protectors Epsilon?

Yes the milestones are getting a little ridiculous >.>

[Crysteon]

That's right. The only mission available for Extra Stage is Epsilon, and has no penalties for anyone with superior stages.

[Nereid]

Hm 48AMP a run wouldn't be too shabby...haven't played the event, though, so I'm not sure how long the mission actually is.

[Vent]

It's only one week down the road and we still have more than 3 weeks the time. If the requirements of the milestones didn't have a big growth rate, we would have already been at the third row of panels by now. :-) Just look how the amount of points spiked up during the weekends.

[pikachief]

next unlock is a new area :D I'm guessing Dark Falz! Hopefully just his second form though, we don't need 2 flying worms. (I wish we could get Dulk Fakis and Dark Falz both at the same time! DOUBLE TROUBLE RAWR! Maybe even gaozoran or carriguine spawns with Dark Falz!)

[Crysteon]

(I wish we could get Dulk Fakis and Dark Falz both at the same time! DOUBLE TROUBLE RAWR! Maybe even gaozoran or carriguine spawns with Dark Falz!)

Dont give them ideas..........

[Vent]

The requirement growth went down!

5th panel --> 6th panel 11 mil
6th panel --> 7th panel 8 mil

What a shocker!

[Crysteon]

Wait until we get stuff like PA boost or Grind boost (inb4a25milgap).

And, for those who are interested:

[spoiler-box]
Here are the music files for both Inhelt Labs (OST version) and Holy Ark Crowley (PSP2i version):

Sub-space Labo adx file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7002685/inhelt_labs

Holy Ark Crowley:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7002685/holy_ark_crowley

Just replace the current file name to the music file you wanna replace. Remember to put it on the /DATA folder where ever you have PSU installed (most of the time, people use to have this path : "C:/SEGA/PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE Illuminus/DATA").

Refer to this list of file names if you wanna replace some music from PSU:

[LP_Phoenix]

i dont wanna see fakis or falz again.... what i wanna see would be dimma or even better onmagoug....would mean heart of devil i hope

but the double trouble idea isnt that bad...but could be really badass, some mixes....ouch

[Nereid]

If they give us Fakis with Gaos or anything else for that matter.. >.>

I would like to see Omna, Demonhearts are always cool. That would be extremely random because I believe this last block is supposed to be all dark enemies.

[Crysteon]

Dark Falz is the most probable boss, because of Crowley's story events on PSP2i. As for field enemies, I guess it would be crammed with either Staterias (or any light monster) and SEED-Form, for the same reason of Crownley's background story.

We have yet to see what happens in the end...we may end up seeing something really unfitting, lol

[Nereid]

Meh, moar worms. Of well excuse to level Twins, lol. I honestly don't think I could be too surprised if we got a mixture of enemies like that and got Onma at the end, Sega does weird stuff sometimes.

[milranduil]

Pfft bring it. Dark Meteor still kills him faster than anything else in the game solo wise lol.

[Nereid]

Hrm, are there so many people on at this odd time because of the next panel? I've never seen so many on at this time before o_o

[Crysteon]

Lol...be grateful they are working hard for next panel unlocking xD

4mil left for last route, btw.

[Wutmog]

It's a National Holiday in Japan today.

[Nereid]

Oh yes the Holiday would make sense. There's like 9 stars on or something, seemed like a lot. But yeah I want a new route I won't complain \o/

[Crysteon]

This might clear things up:
[spoiler-box]
Golden Week
* April 29
o Emperor's Birthday (天皇誕生日, Tennō tanjōbi?), until 1988[1]
o Greenery Day (みどりの日, Midori no hi?), from 1989 until 2006[2]
o Shōwa Day (昭和の日, Shōwa no hi?), from 2007[2]
* May 3
o Constitution Memorial Day (憲法記念日, Kenpō kinenbi?)
* May 4
o Holiday† (国民の休日, Kokumin no kyūjitsu?), from 1985 until 2006
o Greenery Day (みどりの日, Midori no hi?), from 2007[2]
* May 5
o Children's Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no hi?), also customarily known as Boys' Day (端午の節句, Tango no sekku?).

[str898mustang]

Looks like we wont hit 42mil till Friday morning at this rate.

[pikachief]

considering they got 7 mil in like a day and a half im sure they can get 1 more mil tonight :P (unless u mean friday morning their time)

[Nereid]

It's fine by me either way, I can't play again until tomorrow around this time and we'll have it unlocked (hopefully, lol) by then. Wooo new map!

[str898mustang]

it's 5-6am in JP and considering they have school today(the 6th), yeah it'll be friday morning

[Crysteon]

it's 5-6am in JP and considering they have school, work, and mafia businesses today(the 6th), yeah it'll be friday morning

Fixed. :0

Double fixed.

[Omega-z]

Or they had a 6.1 earthquake today and get worried they will be fine.

[Crysteon]

Joy!! Seraphic Gate Crowley is open now! Enjoy dark monsters and Dark Falz 2, lol.

[Vashyron]

Video of new area for anyone who checks this thread, but doesn't actually play JP. :v

[str898mustang]

Looks like PA boost is next to be unlocked

..................gib grind boost now...............

[GlacialTerror]

gib new PA's with PA boost ... *wishful thinking*

[Crysteon]

gib new PA's with PA boost ... *wishful thinking*

Aaaaactually...the GAM boost is fishy enough to suppose we might get new PAs via AMP. We might get the new PAs along with the event rewards...I dunno, I'm just stating something really obvious to myself.

[Nereid]

Even if we don't get the new PAs I have a lot of the more useless AF PAs to level, I just like to have them all leveled, lols.

[str898mustang]

oooooooo at new milestone weapon...new shotty, nice stats too.

[gundam0079]

Hmm...wonder what the last 3 rewards could be

[str898mustang]

synth boost, grind boost and 3x stamps most likely

[Crysteon]

Armor/Weapon Synth boost, Stamp Boost and Grind boost...that's just a wild guess.

EDIT: NOU!!

[pikachief]

im assuming that the red numbers for the weapon milestones is the point total that we are at on that date? :)

Also, if that shotgun grinds good and the variance isn't ridiculous, it may just be the best shotty out! :D (would they give the best gun to everyone playing tho?)

Also 3x tickets for 2 weeks would be awesome! I could finally get a hairstyle i like :D (only ticket i got before was the only hair i didnt like lol)

That's right. The red numbers is a comparison between the required kill count to unlock the weapon with max % (in case it applies) and the kill count we achieve until deadline.

I dont really expect much of Eternity Gazer (perhaps 300 ATP and 2000 PP at +10,). It was the best shotgun in psp2i, but that doesnt mean it will be the best here too. It might be hard to beat those Missouri pimps.

[FOkyasuta]

Now that's what i call a deluxe revisit.

No touchy feelings.

[Crysteon]

Now that's what i call a deluxe revisit.

No touchy feelings.

I wish I could do it faster!

No..not really...lol

[pikachief]

oh well i don't know much about that Missouri stuff nor do i think i'll be able to get any of it any time soon, so it'll be the best shotgun i'll be able to get a hold of! :D (and it'll go nicely next to my steam burst :P lol)

Also, looking at the rod, then the shotgun im assuming that these weapons might progressively be better than the last unlock... (sword>shotgun>twin sabers> rod) so if that's the case i'm very interested in how good this sword will be :)

EDIT: wow just looked at that Kevlar suit :o I can easily say that its a pretty spiffy armor that I really want now :P also probably just because its called a suit and its so awesome, It reminds me of the super suit from Mario RPG and makes me want it even more! lol

[Vent]

Is that last one a sword? I was hoping for a saber. D:

[str898mustang]

looks like a spear

[Titan]

That last weapon is a sword from PSP2. Its one of the largest weapons in the game.

[str898mustang]

oooooo got a pic of it anywhere?

[Vent]

Noooooooooo. Oh well, at least is isn't a spear.

[Nereid]

I was hoping that was a saber :c Meh, can't use any of the rewards from the panels, I guess.

[Omega-z]

That all depends if there A rank or S rank weapons. they could be A rank like last year since more classes could use them. Just a guess.:rappy:

the only class then that won't be able to use them outside the basic classes is the Arcotecher. and maybec the master classes if there not S rank.

[Crysteon]

Someone will die if any of those are A rank >_>

[Nereid]

I would like the Twin Sabers to be, otherwise all S-Ranks would be acceptable. Or if they let us choose A or S \o/ wishful thinking.

[WiZ1988]

Do you use the event points to obtain those new weapons, the sword and the rod to be exact. And the shotty

[Crysteon]

No, they are rewards for participating on the event.

[str898mustang]

remember to play on ur E2 account too, that way u'll get 2 of each weapon.

[WiZ1988]

Good stuff....thanks

[Nereid]

Hm, do you have to complete a whole mission? I haven't even logged into my E2 yet, lols, I would have to make some craptastic level 1.

[str898mustang]

yeah u have to complete the whole mission.

[Nereid]

Bleh, oh well I'm sure I can just join in on a C run with some randoms or something.

[LP_Phoenix]

but it was play a run each week for each wep right? or just once on e2 for all 4? if its the first option i missed 2 weps...%&/((% okay but i wont miss two shotty for my gunner

[Crysteon]

Do it once for the whole event, and that's enough to get all 4 o_O

[LP_Phoenix]

yeah done XD thats nice so i can get another rod for my non existing techer , wonderful....maybe i should feed it to my tech pm O.o or if its tradable...sell it

[Nereid]

Meh, two of those swords will be nice, as I will probably be playing FM for Extra Stage GAM during the AMP boost. Hopefully the stats will be nice.
