New Content

Got a question, has ST made it so PSO can have new content added to it? Like weapons, music, and monsters? And with special holiday events, is it going to be the same deal every christmas, or will it have different stuff everytime it comes around?

No, they cannot add new weapons or monsters. Those need to be pre-programmed into the game. Music is debatable. There's occassionally new music in online/downloadable quests, but I'm guessing that those were also pre-programmed into the game. The downloads are awfully small for audio files that should take up quite a chunk of space memory-wise. It's likely that the holiday events will be the same content. As an example from ver.1 & 2: on New Year of 2001 (Japanese version 1) they had an online Pioneer 2 theme depicting 2001 (even playing the music from 2001: Space Odyssey). For New Year 2002 they used the same thing, not even bothering to update the 2001 text. Lazy.

Yes but they are is probably some still hidden in the programming. Like the Del lily.

i'm sure there is a lot of stuff on the game disk that we can't access yet (weps, monsters etc.) Sonic Team decided to spread everything out this time (unlinke vr.2 where we got almost everything right away). For example, the holiday rappys and the jack-o-lanterns and christmas presents are all on the game disk but we could not see them until the holiday.
It seems like there are not that many new weapons for the gamecube version but it's probobly because we just haven't gotten to see them yet. (like on DC vr.2 there were weapons you could get in max attack by winning badges, I can guess they have somthing similar planned for GC). There are still many more quests planned so we will have to keep playing ^__^
