View Full Version : JP PSO2 7/13 Official Blog: Caps, Recompensations, ToS Update, etc

The official blog (http://ameblo.jp/sega-psblog/entry-11301418021.html) was updated today with some news about recent goings-on and few other things.

First off, something that will make some people happy, character caps should coming off servers next week. This means that you'll be able to create new characters on the ship you want come next week. Transfers are still not an option though so if you already have a character somewhere and want to change ships, you'll have to delete that character.

Next, because there have been so many maintenances going on, Sega is thinking of recompensating those who have purchased 30 days or more of one of the various AC items. There's no details on it yet.

On the cheating that happened yesterday, Sakai assures us that the problems just affect NPC positions and there was no accessing of private information or server data. However, because of the mess it caused, a new term was added to the ToS stating that information relating to cheats, hacks, and other such incidents not be made public but reported to Sega through the report form.

The blog also goes in to detail on a few things we already know about. Next week's update (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=197939), PSP2i soundtrack with PSO2 bonus items (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198014), and the boxed edition coming out in September (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=196932).

And of course, something on the next scratch (after the festival one):

Don't make any bugs or other problems (this includes cheating and hacking) public but instead report them via official channels.

If Sega thinks us casts are beautiful why can't we wear skimpy beach suits? :c
I don't mind the other outfits we are getting though. They aren't along the same lines of the skimpy generic swim suits, but they are cool and dynamic enough to forget that.

Xaeris
Jul 13, 2012, 05:01 AM
All right, now that I'm thinking more clearly, I can respond more coherently. It's cool that they're considering compensating premium purchasers for the downtime. I wasn't particularly inconvenienced (enough to to be mildly frustrated, but I never felt ripped off), but it's a nice thought on their part. I imagine they'll just credit the time to the expiration date.

I can't wait to see the massive difference in the prices of male and female swimsuits. I got my money on males going for four figures and girls going for upper six.

I'll be disappointed if we don't get speedos for males. If they fail to dress up the girls, then I want the guys to be skimpy, too! Scratch the reasoning, I just want some speedos.

Looking forward more to the yukata instead of the bikini, honestly. Showing off my main in a bikini would be way too embarrassing, especially given her personality. It was hard enough making the change for the wedding dress. Androgynous girls and bikinis really... don't mix well, hahaha.

They probably should have waited a little bit more(this is basically the kind of things that can make people interested in the game again with little to no effort required from the devs), but meh.
Probably won't be buying one for my main though. Doesn't really fit her character to me. Or maybe I will.

I've got my main in a wedding dress right now simply because I want her to wear one at the moment. I'll probably switch her back to her usual attire or something similar once the new female CAST parts come out on the 18th.

In some ways, showing less skin can actually be skimpier than showing more skin. Look up Zettai Ryouiki for an example.

I just hope guys don't get huge, baggy swimsuits. Swimsuits like the first batch from AotI would be fine. Mankinis would be crazy awesome... although Mazarin probably shouldn't wear something like that, lest he ends up sending people to jail.

Also, I want an inner tube... as a weapon. I think Maplestory is the only game so far that has weaponized inner tubes. I'd also probably go hunting for that pool, but I won't get to enjoy it until I unlock my room.

I'll be disappointed if we don't get speedos for males. If they fail to dress up the girls, then I want the guys to be skimpy, too! Scratch the reasoning, I just want some speedos.

Well, since everyone is enjoying jumping on the bashing bandwagon, I'll go ahead and agree with you. Plus.....I actually agree with you. I'd prefer not having everyone I party with be in a skimpy little bikini, it just gets old after a while, and it's not even that novel.

That being said, if they put in the time and effort to earn the money, find the version they want, and buy it, they have the right to keep it, and use it, whether you like it or not. Just because we don't think it's cute, or novel, or whatever, doesn't mean they agree with us. They don't want real, they don't want practical, they want cutesy and sexy and all this other stuff. *shrugs*

At least I can stomp around in my Heavy Mecha RAcast and still look like a badass.

Of course, the series now has fallen into so many Animu tropes and people going lengths to play the Japanese version it's like I would never have expected people here to be fine with Bikinis(!)

Personally I found it obvious that Bikinis would show up and such here because hey, just look at the demographic. Should be obvious. This is gonna real in a bunch of easy money for them.

Though I do find it funny when people want to compare something like Wedding Dresses or Bikinis to the game's setting of laser weaponry or magic. Are you telling me there should be no limit? It works fine here in because again, the audience. Though do try that in other games with a vastly different audience and see how well that would work out for the company. (Obvious.)

Myself I do get annoyed with such clothing, I'd like a limit somewhere. Though I know I'm probably not in the majority so I've come to expect this sort of thing to happen.

I'm a-okay with fun and silly stuff every now and then, but something about this (my opinion begins here) just seems so pandering, blatant, and pretty gross. Call me GAMEZ SRS BZNSS, but I kinda like my characters to...I dunno...look the part of someone who should be down on a planet laying waste to seven kinds of ugly.

Here's how I justify it immersion-wise, The Arks are people too so outside of missions in their leisure time they like to go get some sun ( in space somehow) in bikinis or get all fancied up in tuxes or dresses. There is more to life than killing monsters, lol

But then there's one or two of them who are crazy and like to take their chances killing a Vol Dragon in their skimpy bikinis haha ^^;

All the people complaining will get over it by the week after they come out, tops. They have to, since it's part of the game, and no about of crying about it is going to change anything. It's best to just go with the flow on these types of things.

Well, if you just don't like it, that's one thing, but trying to say it's unrealistic in a game chock-full of blatantly unrealistic elements is entirely another.

Just say you don't like it and be done with it. You don't have to justify it by saying it's "unrealistic" in a universe where everybody wears invisible personal body shields and chugs down magical healing potions.

Speaking of said invisible personal body shields and magical healing potions, that's exactly why I really don't give a shit about the bikinis being used in combat. Plus there are really daring individuals out there - adrenaline junkies - who are rather likely to attempt this sort of thing at some point anyways.

I actually take more issue with the wedding dresses, as they are blatantly impractical in combat with how much you're at risk of tripping over your own garment. I'm a little surprised that more people aren't complaining about that, rather than the bikinis.

More to the point, I find it incredibly frivolous to overlook a game because of what some folks decide to do with their own characters. But then, I'm the kind of guy who absolutely eschews games for not having enough appearance options, so clearly my priorities lie elsewhere...

Don't let it ruin it for you just because it is in the game, if you don't like it just don't buy it and continue playing, you consider shutting down an entire game just because of some vanity clothing options don't agree with your tastes?

Your just mad at your father.

On topic, I see no difference between bikinis, wedding dress, bath towels, etc etc. I hope SoA just put some limits on our version. It is dumb to me and when I try to get friends to join, this is the shit that turns them off.

I will personally never go to the NA side if they censor these. Not because I need to see lolis in bikinis because every time these overseas games come here and censor one thing....they don't stop.

I'm still getting it when it releases. I'm actually glad in some ways, cuz people obviously want bikinis in it. It's just a little odd that SO MANY people need it. It will always be weird to me and will just join other parties or solo cuz the game is that good.

There is. It's called people deal with it or they throw in parental controls to turn off censoring as an option rather than ruin it for everybody.

It's fine to want your character to fit a certain setting and such, just as it is fine if you want to be in gothic lolita despite the context of the game.

What I don't think is fine is wanting to enforce one's preference on others...
That's why I can't get behind anyone with an opinion that they should limit options to cater to just a few preferences.

For people who want to be realistic, give them options for them to be so. For the people who care more about being in a certain fashion than being realistic, cater to them as well.

If one is so bothered by those who choose a different approach to this, simply don't play with them. It would not be fair if the fashion only appealed to one type of person though.
I mean, who does one think they are when they say content should be based on what they like and not someone else?

I think an approach with variety in mind is best in regard to special costumes. :P

Quoting for truth.

(Also spoiler-boxed for length! :p)

I have a much bigger problem with the "My way or the highway!" folks than any particular preference. And I still find it a little bizarre for someone to refuse to play just because someone else has different tastes than them...

the belly button window is pretty unnecessary though, it looks bad.

if anything i thought the design for saber was pretty cool. why not have both i like both.

Basically how I feel about it. I don't really care or have any opinion one way or another about those who want bikinis and all that, I'd just like something that suits my tastes a bit more as well. I like armor, I like spikes, I like looking the part of someone who does the brutal thing I do in combat, and I don't feel I'll ever get much beyond what I have now (ballistic coat.)

Yeah, I'm not sure I like the HUmarl outfit. I think maybe they needed a different color scheme and different approach to the leggings. It would have been super cute if it was like, stockings that came up to the thigh and maybe different shoulder style on the blouse.

But the FOmarl outfit... pure beauty. ^^

I am really hoping for a color variation of the FOmarl outfit to have a white part like Maloo has, and pink coloring.

That's nice, but I'm not sure how this is relevant to the thread.

Japanese game targeting Japanese customers, many of whom are males in their 20s and 30s (and have rather high purchasing power relative to their equivalents in the West). Maybe it'd be different here... but that is completely irrelevant, because they are not targeting Western tastes. Any income coming from the Western side is going to be completely incidental. The only point is to make more money with the barest minimum of effort.

Oh, and you're wrong. Judging from the absolutely ridiculous disparity between male and female character designs over here, it is NOT actually as different as you seem to think it is. In fact, I daresay it is considerably worse over here - Japanese characters at least have great variety in their designs, whereas female character designs in the West are almost universally the exact same image of "sexy", with only the slightest variations between characters. Seriously, just look at comic books... or our video games.

Sex appeal is sex appeal, regardless of what hemisphere of the globe you're on. The only differences are in the details.

Is it really that wrong for people to have preferences and voice an opinion about it if folks who like bikinis, wedding dresses, and yukatas can gush about how much they love those?

I mean...I'm certainly not calling anybody out for having preferences, I'm merely voicing my opinions on the available information and costumes and some seem to be taking it rather personally.

And both Echo's and Aki's outfits are not particularly "sexy" relative to the -newearl outfits, either, so, um, y'know, it really doesn't sound like the complaining is quite justified to me.

The joke outfits are joke outfits. They are NOT the only outfits getting released. Actual outfits that are meant to be taken seriously are getting released, and they are getting very different treatment from the rest.

Cherry-picking from the joke outfits is silly. They ARE joke outfits. That's what they're there for. They're not the only thing they're coming out with.
