So Sakai gave away a little information about the New Year Update (info thanks to bumped.org), Attack of the Clones is the new thing. Sounds like an Emergency Mission where your team is randomly teleported away and you have to escape. Also while trying to escape, you'll fight copies of other players that have also completed the mission. This actually sounds really fun. Hopefully its hard. It also sounds like a way for them to test if PvP would work or not. What do you guys think?

Wait, it'll use my AUTO WORDS AS WELL?

NOW THIS IS INTERESTING

JP vs Eng
lololol

Not that I'm even an elite player >.>

Sounds like an alternative to my earlier suggestion of a code:escape though.

Unless they are actually intelligent and challenging this is nothing more than a fun tidbit for players.

They'll probably have NPC Teammate AI. Guess all those rangers with weak shot will be our undoing.

Since the variety of content appears to be limited, in future updates not only will we “Search through planets, defeat enemies, etc.” like we usually do, but he plans to introduce something completely new. After we reach the story’s conclusion we will move onto a “New Story.”

Thinly-veiled attempt at testing player against player balance to prepare for Battle mode.
I'd expect some nerfs and buffs sometime soon.

Sounds incredibly fun and creative though.

This also may be the reason why we're having so many cosmetic glitches with the last patch. I'd guess they're changing the way they're storing character customization data so that a clone can be recreated with some 'Darker' effects.
