It's "Call of Mortality" not morality btw.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting the rest of the VH quests and areas so soon. I figured they'd let us chew on what we have until November, at least.

Sega continues to release new content at a crazy rate. I'm struggling to keep up with it like always. I'm happy to get new stuff but it's just too much for me to handle.

Thanks for posting this Z-0! You've been front-paged (http://www.pso-world.com/news/02472-phantasy-star-online-2-jp-call-mortality-part-2-plus-halloween-event) ;)

Also, the Halloween event looks pretty fun. I'm surprised at the rate they are releasing content as well. We can barely keep up with all this news, so I'm not sure how they are keeping up with releasing it all :D

Resanoca

Oct 17, 2012, 04:15 AM

Aha! So they're releasing both of those scratches. Was worried they'd be at separate dates. Yay.

Crystal_Shard

Oct 17, 2012, 04:22 AM

Might want to mention that the release is after next week's maintenance most likely. :3

Can't wait to get that new female outfit.

Edit: Oh wait, the date was mentioned in the title. My bad.

Definitely gonna have to try to get the new female outfit (non-seasonal) and caseal parts for myself. Not feeling this seasonal outfit at all though, which is good as it means I can save maseta till November for whatever is released there if I like it.

Also Glory Rain prices are probably gonna dip so I gotta hurry and get mine to sell.

Yay! Halloween! HALLOWEEN!! FINALLY!! *__*
And omfg!! Do I see that right?? There will be CAT TAILS!?
And CAKE FURNITURE!? :-o *faints*

It's "Call of Mortality" not morality btw.

I always read it as 'Morality' or even 'Moriarty' xD"

Finnaly new FUN rotation. I haven't used any FUN point since the Gothic rotation started. Finnaly something to burn my 15.000+ FUN points on x.x

Also watch Skyland be level 45+ at least.

Hmm cat tail eh...even more reason to bring my neko to PSO2 as next char. Hope its a FUN scratch.

Otherwise meh @ everything else other than more PAs.

Not if I like it, you better get your own hair style! We already have the same hair color. D<

But no it'll probably look terrible.

Eyes are completely wrong! and his face is all round!

Anyway, I wasn't trying to look like you. D: It happened when Saki and I were screwing with the face sets. Just found it funny. I expected it to come out...well, not like that.

Been savin up fun points since the end of august waitin for that. Hopefully they add some cool halloween stuff that would fit in with the gothic room stuff

Zorafim

I, actually, have no idea what FUN scratches give you. I have roughly OVER NINE THOUSAND points saved up, simply because I don't know why I should scratch.

Room items, grind risk reduction, grind and ability affix up items (+5%), 3-day myroom tickets, 3-day myshop passes (lol goodluck)

pretty much it. basically you just use em and hope you win a shop pass or myroom pass if you dont have premium (even if you do, i think you can sell them? or just hold onto em for when you dont have premium) and then use all the room items you got from it to create a cool room.

New VH areas already? I am also surprised about that. I figured they were gonna "save" them until Ruins in November.

Also, new outfits are awesome (besides the female Halloween one, that's just more loli garbage). Couldn't make out what some of the new accessories were, though. Guess I'll have to wait n' see.

EDIT: Tomee, your post on the front page should say "Frozen Tundra through Floating Continent", since Mines is included in there, too.

That skirt, though. Thing is adorable. I'd love to see more gothic fashion in PSO2, along with street-wear.

1. Oh, I see now. It's a turn-key for like one of those old-fashioned wind-up dolls (http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Uploads/Graphics/000/11/000-1103173734.jpg). That's neat.

3. And no, those bracelets don't come with the outfit. Goth spike bracelets, yeah!

Okay, those were the only ones I had trouble with. Thanks. :nerd:

More than Mortality or Morality, this pretty much resembles Moronity. Those cat tails will seriously be an expensive thing around because every cool chick in this game wants to be a nekomata. Oh, and every wanna-be-antihero cool guy will want to wear Gettemhart's costume because, apparently, heels on males are SO swag.

The only thing I'm looking forward is the rest of VHard quests; scratches are pretty much disappointing.

Tomeeboy

Thanks, I'll update that. I'm sure there are some other details I missed, given it was 5:00am when I made the post ;)

It's worth noting that shortly after the video went live, they also updated the Call of Mortality sub-site, adding two pages of screenshots and info (containing some more details on what was shown in the video):

http://pso2.jp/players/update/20121010/05/

Halloween Rappies will have a chance to drop a Pumpkin Rod rare item
New Halloween theme for cake shop and limited time pumpkin cake
New Emergency Quest: Trick or Treat

http://pso2.jp/players/update/20121010/06/

New Halloween AC Scratch
Wonder Treat costume
Hallow Wanderer costume
Additional costumes

They also added a list of items being removed from from AC / FUN scratch:

You can sell some of the room items on the player shop for a decent buck. I had weeks during which I got around 100k everyday just from logging in, doing FUN scratch and selling the stuff that I got.

Resanoca

Oct 17, 2012, 12:15 PM

The masked guy's one looks decent...but still...it has something that doesnt convince me at all.

Watch Sega returning with that horrendous idea of Project CUTE in a year or two...shit will get real there and that will leave males with nothing to wear or perhaps with way more femmenine outfits, lol.Well, his outfit will do until something better comes. My only real peeve with it is the outfit has some ninja thing. It'll cover up to your nose. Which consider the actual character that wears the mask and all... Well, yeah. Seems odd.

I like it.

Also, Heretic Lord is clearly the best name for a released outfit thus far.

BIG OLAF

The shoes on that one look so fucking wacky.

But, since the rest of the outfit is pure sexy badassery, I can forgive that.

CelestialBlade

Oct 17, 2012, 12:55 PM

Hmm. The top is absolutely hideous to me, but the bottom looks sleek and futuristic though. It's not quite as bad as I thought it would be from earlier previews, but it's only keeping me from my Sara outfit ;___;

I'm gonna ballpark that at 2mil+. Maybe extra because all the anime dweebs are gonna be drooling over it, since it looks like GENERIC ANIMU ULTIMATE ATTACK #65123.

Over End came from Phantasy Star Zero, where PAs had to be charged like technics do. Over End was balanced by having a ridiculously high charge time as well as power; here they might slap a 60 PP cost on it or something.

I just want it because it's something I'm familiar with and I don't really like any of the current Sword PAs.

Oh boy, I just saw the damage numbers on the spreadsheet, might be time to dust off that good ol Ethocentric HUcast of mine. I already loved to PA originally, but now I want it even more.

This on the other hand:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ss_04_l.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Is totally the reason why I'm glad to have chosen the JP servers. Thought I originally planned to get one for my GUnewm, I sure hope it comes in blue for good ol Azure. I'd like not to get color tickets all over again.

Gettemhart suit, DO WANT. It's one of the only Fucking MALE outfit that fits the Gothic Warrior theme for my main character FFS. I been saving a Color Change ticket for it too so I can re-color it to be a nice shade of onyx/charcoal black. Untill somthing better comes along, this is it. Haters can go suck rotten eggs.

th Heretic Lord is pretty much it, unless they add in a costume similar to this:
