GBR: Parum Drop Boost 5th
* November 17, 2011 - December 8, 2011
* Encompasses the following missions:
- Sunken Shrine (Raffon Lakeshore to Field Base area)
- Aquatic Mama (Denes Lake to Seabed Plant area) EK note: Shh! Just having some fun with these names! It's not inaccurate, either!
- Lab Recovery (Underwater Plant to Raffon Meadow area)

New Parum free missions
* Sunken Shrine C-S3: A RELICS site was confirmed on the ocean floor during an undersea investigation. According to initial team reports, the Stateria there have activated, making further investigation difficult. Destroy the Stateria so that research can continue safely!
* Blue Water Mama C-S3: A new AMF base has been constructed in a seabed plant, but the Mother Brain there has gone haywire, causing the troops there to revolt! Destroy the Mother Brain to put a stop to the chaos!

Mission updates
* Lab Recovery C-S2 will be upgraded to AOTI standards. Difficulty S3 will also be added.
* Changes will be made to the contents of the following missions' clear boxes:
- Electronic Brain S2
- SEED Express S2-S3

System updates
* When you clear a GBR mission, new "GBR containers" will be added to the standard clear boxes that appear.

New BGM
* New background music will be added.

Item updates
* New items will be added including Boost Impact (axe) and Avenger (machinegun).
* A new human/newman SUV weapon will be added: Rapia Fluge. EK note: That's one way to put an old unused (not counting the PM that used it) SUV weapon to use...
* Casino rotation.

Credit goes to Espio for reporting and translation. Thanks!

Hmm GBR exclusive drops maybe? and lol @ healing suv

[FOnewearl-Lina]

GBR containers!
After years of nothing but "Drop Boost".

[Positive]

I see new twin daggers. Hopefully it has pa boost. It's the only 2 handed weapon left that doesn't have broken pa damage. :-?

[Illuminate]

I think those are... Heart of Poumn! :O

[Positive]

Boo... you ruined it.

[Positive]

Servers are up. Unusually small patch this time.

[Crysteon]

Good ol' Sega revamped certain map layouts from PSP2 >_>..-Sunken Shirne's layout is identical to PSP2's Undersea Ruins one, and Aquatic Mother (Mamma?)'s one is identical to Multiped Threat. Good going, Sega \o/

And lol to the 2 big boxes at the end of each run.

[Cleptomaniac]

Ive gotten grinder base s in both boxes four runs in a row...
14* knuckles dropped from mother brain in a party i was in - i think they're new

pic was way tooo big nvm

[Crysteon]

Yay...fun stuff. Lab Recovery's B3 is a festival of Jarbas and Pohlavohras (or whatever the name is) *shrugs*...and I also got Base S from big boxes in a single lap of all 3 runs >____>

[Cleptomaniac]

Ambicion 9* saber from big box... ><

[Crysteon]

Lol...I bet those boxes have event items....who knows....you may find stuff like Grandias inside :0

[Cleptomaniac]

Yep, got a blood edge in the one with svaltus at the end.

[Positive]

So much for events. Gravidion from gbr box.

[Crysteon]

Heart of Poum from Sunken Shrine.

It has good stats, but it's A rank (9★ Twin Claws), lol.

Nothing interesting in this gbr so far. :-?

[str898mustang]

[Magil]

i like the new music on sunken Shirne :P

[Positive]

Still no sign of the suv?

[Angry_Ryudo]

Doors in Sunken Shrine behave abnormally :S

...And in Acuatic Ma too?! Or i started the game wrong?

[Magil]

Still no sign of the suv?

i got a suv from S2 A grade for human/newman ( must try '-')

[Positive]

If it doesn't have a pa boost, then it's just an ugly red version of the yohmei a-rank bows.

[str898mustang]

If it doesn't have a pa boost, then it's just an ugly red version of the yohmei a-rank bows.

Lavis Arrow already has a PA boost.....two wouldn't make sense.

[Positive]

That was the point.

[LP_Phoenix]

okay....rare maps are funny in this gbr, on that blue seabed mission ull get 4 lutus and on that mother boss mission u get 6 lab staff guys....those with rare mats as drop

[Positive]

6 lab staff guys....those with rare mats as drop

Not that great. AMF soldiers/robots are annoying, and you're guaranteed a rare mat of your choice every 5-10 minutes of ohtori c. :-?

[Ezodagrom]

i like the new music on sunken Shirne :P
Yeah, it's nice to see a completely new music track on PSU. ^^


As it turns out, they added a completely new song to the game. According to the official Twitter account:

本日11月17日(木)の配信にて、BGMを1曲追加しております。サウンド担当小林からのメッセージをご 紹介します！「海底レリクスのBGMは、【完全 な新作】になります。久しぶりですが、ファンタシースターユニバースの新曲をお楽しみいただけましたら幸い です。」 #SEGAPSU
With November 17's update, one new BGM was added. Here's a message from sound director Kobayashi! "The seabed RELICS' BGM is completely new! It's been a while (since brand new music was added), but I hope you enjoy PSU's newest song!"I've actually sent a tweet to Hideaki Kobayashi asking if the new song has a special name like the others did ("Aire Iglesia," "Naked Sky," etc.).

@espiokaos 楽しんでくださって本当にありがとうございます！！曲名ですが、実はまだ決まっておりません。でも「Dee p」という単語を使いたいなと思っております。
I'm really glad you enjoy it!! The song's name... well, to be honest, it hasn't been decided yet. But, I think I want to use the word "Deep" in it.

[Crysteon]

inb4thatsongalsoplaysinPSO2...I doubt they are actually doing an effort in a game that is dead to most of the world already, lol

[str898mustang]

seriously...of all the weapons to make the next 15*.....you choose the card?
http://psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up9588.jpg

[Shou]

OMG that card is really really powerful... I need to get it for acrotecher!!!

[Red*]

wow, this card really drops? or its a joke like God/Battle?

[desturel]

seriously...of all the weapons to make the next 15*.....you choose the card?

Hmm, how would you romanize that? Gale Wind Past?

[RemiusTA]

Hmm, how would you romanize that? Gale Wind Past?


Passing/Sweeping Gale...?

[Crysteon]

I'd romanize it as Gal Wind Past, maybe.

I remember that thing from PSP2i...looks nice in my opinion...but still...lolAT.

EDIT: Here's a pic

[redroses]

Doors in Sunken Shrine behave abnormally :S

...And in Acuatic Ma too?! Or i started the game wrong?

I have the same problem, it is quite annoying.

Also, screen of the new A rank Twin Claws, which look really sweet. (of course they dropped neutral lol):

Heart of Pounm, AKA "Alis Claw" :-)

[Mike]

Hmm, how would you romanize that? Gale Wind Past?

Gal Wind Burst. It's a バ not a パ.

[desturel]

Gal Wind Burst. It's a バ not a パ.

Burst sounds better than Past at least. thanks

[The Master eye]

no its real i was in that group too

[Crysteon]

Not enough motivation to hunt it!

Ironically enough...I'll be stuck on that mission until I finish a set of 10/10 Hearts of Poumn...... (4 more to go...)

[Positive]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it ended up as trade food for next week's update?

[Crysteon]

Like what? Heart of Poumn doesnt have a relation to any of the remaining twin claws from PSP2i o_O.

My guesses are that Bluesy Requiem will need a Black Requiem and Esperanza will need both Traición and Ambición (stating the obvious).

[Positive]

Doesn't necessarily have to be a weapon.

[Crysteon]

At least this is not Ro, where you have to collect 999 Loli Panties to get an Elephant Hat.

[Tawon]

mm you should look at the knight lancer because the bluesy requiem looks identical

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5043/itemss01.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/338/itemss01.jpg/)

and it makes sense that ambicion/traicion/knight lancers are dropping from the GBR boxes with trade ins coming next week. But Why do they keep coming out with twin sabers when they nerfed AC >?<

[Positive]

AC still hits 5k with ungrinded weapons, so it's not useless. It's also useful weaving in and out and disabling vol brothers.

I'm not a TAer, so what do I care? :-?

[Crysteon]

I'm not a TAer and I care about it! (inb4abarrageofarguments, lol)

[Cloudstrife xx]

Good for you.
