[iTz PooKiie xx]

Something new to TA 0/

[Blackheart521]

oooooh headphones, though they looked pink...

meh on the Afin clothes and there's a new male hairstyle that looks potentially good but they cut to the next clip before you could see it from the front. :/

looks promising ^^

[Xaeris]

Patty and Tea's outfit? ...Well, this update won't cost me any meseta, at least. Then again, it is sleeveless...

And am I the only who finds that caseal in the blue outfit absolutely horrifying?

[Mystil]

Oooh I've been wanting Koffie's suit!

[Takatsuki]

I need more cute Caseal outfits :(

[Udonge]

I want my bunny ears already :(

[MailboxJunkie]

I NEED those headphones!
Everything else is secondary, but the headphones....zomg u guis.

[Insane food dish]

I want this as an accessory. I'm okay with mini-rappy suits of various colors though.

[/SPOILER-BOX]

a pistol pointed to your head? I want that accessory too :D

[JeyKama]

Are those... newman earguards? I wonder if they're an accessory, since Afin's not got them.
I think it is only Tia's outfit though.

I'll take both short haircuts though ._.;

[Insane food dish]

a pistol pointed to your head? I want that accessory too :D

I don't mind, the hair will cushion the impact.

[Yunfa]

No new armors...hmmmmmmmmmm

[Shadowth117]

Its possible those "earguards" are cast "ears" isn't it? I dunno. Definitely thinking of getting the earphones if they're not in just pink. Possibly the hat too. That uniform also looks like it could be appealing if it comes in decent/can be changed to decent colors.

Definitely excited for more time attack too, its about time! Hopefully there won't be silly exploits at release in this one.

Also noticed this:
http://i46.tinypic.com/4idf8o.png

Telepipes? Maybe that's not supposed to be there, but perhaps at one point there's an option to go back to the campship to reach Block 3 faster? Maybe going in through the campship to a block would bring you in in a different spot? Probably just not supposed to be there, but its interesting to see...

[youcantcatchtheblue]

nothing too interesting this update....

I wonder if they've realized that absolutely no-one plays Time Attack... I still haven't cleared that mission yet because I can't find anyone to play it with ;_;, and the one time I did play, we failed the mission because a team-mate died...

[iTz PooKiie xx]

You either failed because your teammate didn't know not to release, or you'all don't carry moon atomizers. :)

I don't see a problem with either situation causing a failure.

[Mike]

Perhaps he played it when you couldn't use moons in the second area.

[ShadowDragon28]

Some cool stuff IMO. Sad to still not have any new Cross Quarter (Humar) Color Varient costumes.. *sigh*

FFS no mention of when or if this update or when exactly the Recycle Shop will be updated to allow other items to be traded for the g**dAMN Color Change TIcket. >:-[

[Kinujou]

anyone mind translating the matter board scenes shown in the video?

[Inazuma]

I hate how Time Attack has a bunch of buttons and doors and puzzles and shit. I always hated challenge mode in PSO and I still hate it. It would be much better if it involved difficult challenges related to battle. I remember PSU had something like that.

I also hate how the time attack rewards are untradable. I just want that stupid green lettuce Caesar salad hat. I want to buy it off another player and be done with it. Argh.

[Enforcer MKV]

Well.....those cast parts look pretty nice....

But bleh at that headpiece....again. ^^;

[Skyly HUmar]

I think Im going to get that clerk suit in purple... and get some shaggy hair and a stache.... heheheh, it's trollin time!

[Crimson Exile]

It will get translated in the matter board translation thread or whatever its called in the guide section of the forums.

not to release?

We were carrying moon atomizers, but apparently if you don't revive your team-mate in 10 seconds or so you fail the mission(?) this wasn't very clear to me since like I've said, I've only had the chance to play Time Attack once.

[Ce'Nedra]

Tea outfit! Do want~

[iTz PooKiie xx]

not true you can leave that person behind if that person that died presses the option to returen to ship it will fail everything

[Blundy]

i WANT that cabby hat.... time to farm i guess.

[Crystal_Shard]

I didn't see any sign of Patti's outfit on the site, only Thea's... does it only appear in the video?

Would be nice to get an Arks Uniform as well.

[CelestialBlade]

I dig the headphones, but not much else personally. Still waiting for Sara's outfit ;_;

I know someone that's going to be very happy about Koffie's outfit :wacko:

[Ce'Nedra]

I didn't see any sign of Patti's outfit on the site, only Thea's... does it only appear in the video?

Only Thea's whichs is the one I want most of the two. Time to spend some AC me thinks~

[Resanoca]

Where is Rock? I figured he'd go apeshit over the headphones. D:

[Gardios]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Give me Ghettemhart's costume already, SEGA!

Well at least I have CAST parts to look forward to. And dat white Rappy suit...

[CelestialBlade]

Where is Rock? I figured he'd go apeshit over the headphones. D:
Probably still typing up a long stream of capital letters roughly expressing his level of "do want". :wacko:

Admittedly he's the first person that came to mind when I saw those XD

[NoiseHERO]

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

My hairstyles for both of my mains from PSP2 is coming back, AND new headphones??? Now Rock and 8-bit are completed!!

edit: also lol you punks know me so well.. D:

[Angelo]

Yeah, I actually came here after seeing the update to see Rock's response to the headphones.

[The Walrus]

Oh thank god they finally give us Afin's costume and headphones.

Everything else just looks meh :/

They need to make a Nu-13/Lambda-11 inspired Caseal set one of these days

[Crysteon]

Oh god....those headphones will wreck the economy so hard, lol.

[NoiseHERO]

Oh god....those headphones will wreck the economy so hard, lol.

Don't say that ;o;

I DID have to spend like 600k for that damn mage hat though...

Then those head flower thingies cost a fortune...

But those were moe value...

[The Walrus]

I wonder if the NA economy will be less ridiculous

[Vashyron]

lol (http://pso2blog.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/echowhat.jpg)

Well new Story part is nice, though not looking forward to more mundane matterboard tasks.

[NoiseHERO]

lol (http://pso2blog.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/echowhat.jpg)

Outfit looks better this way.

[Crysteon]

But those were moe value...

I remember buying that silly hat for 500k before...and I kind of regretted it. I'm not exactly dying for what this scratch offers this time to actually spend more than 1mil on their items. I wonder if new voices will also be added....current custom ones are so darn dull.

[Gardios]

Pretty likely that they'll add new voices.

I wonder if the new hairstyles work for my character—so far every hairstyle but one looks awful on him, haha. Really wish they'd add some short hairstyles...

[Sizustar]

I want more motion~~
Current headgear doesn't seem to fit with my current build.
Also interested in the new twin ponytail hair...

[Alenoir]

Man, guess I need to start saving up for that new hat.

[Mystil]

I wonder if the NA economy will be less ridiculous

I seriously doubt that.

[Takatsuki]

I wonder if the NA economy will be less ridiculous

I honestly think it will be worse. I have the feeling that Americans will be less willing to drop $5 on a random chance of getting the costume they want, so there will be less costumes on the shops, which in turn will drive their prices up.

[CelestialBlade]

My thoughts exactly. Most of us really don't do gachas whereas it's more accepted as the norm in Japanese online games, and we benefit off that quite a bit. Without market flooding driving down prices, expect things like bikinis in the NA market to easily be 5-10mil.

[NoiseHERO]

That's kind of why I'm hoping they modify the current AC system...

The way it's set up in Japan they might get away with it...

But for the English players, not only the price, but some of the things they expect you to pay for in general is going to alienate a LOT of players. and only the more loyal/hardcore fans are going to want to put up with it. Or at least they may as WELL do that, if we're being separated from the JP version.

I guess I'll have to set the trend quickly with that stuff then by selling it for around 500K at most :I

[Zyrusticae]

Nope, then high-rollers will buy it and resell it for 1-2m apiece.

[Mystil]

And then the undercut brigade will arrive to save the day.

[Rika-chan]

I need a black Koffee outfit so I can cosplay as her

[Chacron]

Nope, then high-rollers will buy it and resell it for 1-2m apiece.
Until they realise no one is buying them, thus making doing that no so profitable(I hope).

And then the undercut brigade will arrive to save the day.
Yay, economics!

[Garnet_Moon]

...but I always thought if something is going for 2,000,000 meseta, and you find it at a significant discount, like barely 6 digits... then it's either a very generous and nice seller(not possible), or they are selling cheap dupes created to fund the reconstruction of the ARKS ship that constantly gets attacked by the darkers for emergency missions.

[goldwing]

iv been dieing for them to come out with Alfin's outfit. its about time. now my only wish is for it to come out in white as a choice and also if it looks good as white then i am set XD. after that its the long wait till the new weps....

[Eman2417]

Yes white rappy suit.

[ShadowDragon28]

:(

Still no Gettemhault Coat, still no *new* Cross Quarters Color Variant (like Ohza's or Joseph's color varients)

Still no info on when the Recycle Shop gets updated to allow players to trade any AC costumes for a Color Change Ticket... *sigh*

[Mikura]

Kinda digging the new hairstyles and the Patty/Tia outfit. Time to start saving up I guess.

[BIG OLAF]

Sir, you do realize that SEGA never showcases the color-palette swaps for the pre-existing outfits in their update previews, yes? So, relax, you may have your Cross Quarters wish come true yet.

Yup. Either they reduce the AC prices, change up the system to be more like the TF2 store, or the market will be loltastic.

And you think there's hoarders and manipulators here? HOOOOO BOY.

So they're all AC? @_@

Anything other than basic accessory recolors is AC (rephrase=_=;)

Also, in the next update a bunch of items are being removed from FUN Scratch, including all the Classic MyRoom things, the bathtub, trick darts, ori ori, the parrot, the short pompadour, Lobby Action 10, and the Tall/Kloon/Viola hats.

[NoiseHERO]

Any featured outfit that isn't a basic uniform recolor is AC, same with accessories.

Also, in the next update a bunch of items are being removed from FUN Scratch, including all the Classic MyRoom things, the bathtub, trick darts, ori ori, the parrot, the short pompadour, Lobby Action 10, and the Tall/Kloon/Viola hats.

Yeah that's what else confuses me, if everything we're being shown is AC... then we on't know what's gonna get rotated into FUN scratch I assume...

[JeyKama]

Correct, no clue yet on the new FUN items.

[BIG OLAF]

Since the 'Classic' stuff is getting shipped out, I'd hazard to guess that the black/purple 'Gothic' items will be added.

[ShadowDragon28]

*Emerges from the darkness* Gothic room items? Yes Please, OMG. DO WANT.

[SPOnion]

I kind of have the feeling that we'll be seeing more Dodo cosplayers than usual...

[gigawuts]

I kind of have the feeling that we'll be seeing more Dodo cosplayers than usual...

I really hope there's a whole ton of Dodo cosplayers, and then for some bizarre reason a video montage shows up on youtube where some guy punches every single one of them in the face.
