 Since the release of Phantasy Star Universe's Supplemental Update for PC/PS2 in Japan, there have been a couple other significant additions to the game. After the recently announced Supplemental Update for the Xbox 360 version of Ambition of the Illuminus, many players have been wondering exactly which features and content would make the transition.
The PSU community team has taken note of these concerns and GM Edward has posted a number of details on one of the most heavily discussed features; GUARDIANS Cash.
In Japan, the GUARDIANS Cash system involved microtransactions and as such has been seen as a negative by a significant portion of the Xbox 360 playerbase. It should relieve those players to find out that there will not be a method of paying additional money for in-game content or features for the Xbox 360 version of PSU. Instead, this content will be adapted through other means. Examples of possible distribution methods included releasing the items as mission rewards or making them available in the casino, but nothing has been finalized yet. Expect to see more information on this content as the update approaches.
Additionally, it was revealed that the limited, free-play mode known as "Community Course" or "Free Course" will not be part of the Xbox 360 version of the game. Despite this, the demo is still said to be an effective tool for bringing new players into the game.
For discussion of this news, there is a thread progressing in the forums.
