Oh, I'm sure there will be; they just weren't mentioned as SonicTeam probably haven't decided on which ones they'll release next. As each update nears, we'll see more detailed info on the official JP site.

I really doubt clothes and support techs wont appear. The outline seems to be mainly for big changes whereas clothes etc are all quite small..

Jeez, Chapter 22. So basically by early April, online Story Mode is going to be bigger than offline Story Mode.

Maybe PSU US will have Expert Types by then!

Thanks for the update EspioKaos. I'm looking forward to seeing this content on the NA servers.

For the people that want to complain about the perceived lack of content on the NA/EU servers, start a topic in the Rants forum. This thread is for discussing the upcoming JP content additions.

This seems to be just a listing of planned upcoming seasonal events and mission releases, so I'm sure there are a number of other gameplay additions that are not highlighted here.

No surprise that they have already found corporate sponsorship thru Famitsu. Famitsu has always been a huge supporter of PS games.

Now, here's the question we should be asking...do you think that SoA will manage to pull off another PSO:BB sponsorship drive with Yahoo or AOL or new blood? It might not be as easy as before since BB was PC only and thus easier to market to those company's marketing depts.

It's an interesting possibility for Sega to make up some costs they might of lost out on from the lower expected player turnout.

Based on the item lists I've seen, Sega has created an in-game EGM Magazine FO wand. Given that, there is a decent chance we'll see some sponsored event over here.

EDIT: I wonder if any of the JP BB players got mad because they never received the Yahoo! mag?

Oh the game mag is coming back huh? Any idea what cover page they're going to use this time? (or is it just unconfirmed but rumored?)

Oh, I was just being glib here. More expressing surprise at how much they've manage to get up on the servers in the first half year of the game's life, compared to the, uhh... 'humble beginnings'.

We know the magazines exist (see here (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=128425&forum=20)) and the EGM magazine is one of them. Beyond that, I'm not sure who will be on the cover.

hmmm very interesting. Thanks for the heads up Ryna. I noticed that some threads got merged there as well.


As for the Yahoo mag and the JP players....well all I did was ask a JP friend of mine to do the simple quest for the original Famitsu mag on the original DC version and poof there it was. Made a great conversation piece ^_^....so if a JP player really wanted it, well they might want to take a cue from what I did and follow suit http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I wish they'd do this for us NA/EU people. I'd like to know when the updates will come instead of having to guess...

These (the ones listed) are probably gonna start hitting us either January or February if we're 'sticking to Japan's schedule.'

Theres only a couple support techs left to add. And they usually sneak in the clothes.

It would be nice if Sega/ST gave a list of what's to come up for US/EU people but they won't give us said list because to them, we're garbage.

So, if they are getting Christmas Event added in at the start of December, I guess it's a safe bet we ain't getting it at all. haha yay.

And their up to chp17? Dear lord.

When they say "Chapter 17", I think they really meant Chapter 5, Episode II. And so forth.

As far as I know JP just got the main support techs last update, or the one before that.

I see I see. Does the Perfect PSU Bible also have weapon scehmatics (and other pointless, yet fun to know stuff)? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Well the outline for NA updates is pretty easy though. This is how it would look if we got a NA perfect bible.

December - January
* A update might occur
* No seasonal Events

February - March
* Chapter 1 story mission now added!
* Seasonal Event - Sunny days
* Expert classes released!

I wonder when we'll get our first seasonal event. I'm hoping there's one for christmas =

Gotta love missing Halloween for the NA release.

Nothing like skipping a large comercial holiday celebrated by probably close to a billion people, or at least some outrageous number like 500million, and probably at least 50% of the PSU population at the time...

Yep yep, good ole SoA giving it's players what they want.



Anyway.

If I get a bikini this Thursday, I'll be happy.

lol ok lastnight i chatted with some of my friends about the discussion of an upcoming patch tonight/tomorrow. They responded with "Well its not announced on 1up, so i doubt that it will happen." to which i said "I don't think the last one was either?"

My question i pose is this: Will there indeed be an update tonight/tomorrow morning? And if so where are people getting the info? Is it based on the release date timelines in Japan?

I'm not impatient by any means i've been busying myself skilling up PAs and capping levels on two of my characters.

If it comes tonight w00t if not I still have things id lie to accomplish prior to this update http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif [finishing my armor mag is one of them too]
