• Phantasy Star Universe Xbox 360 Supplemental Update Notes Part II

    Details continue to roll in as GM Edward has posted the second round of notes detailing the upcoming supplemental update! This week, we're treated to information on GUARDIANS advanced missions and GUARDIANS advanced style.

    GUARDIANS advanced missions

    • Otherwise known as GAMs, these missions provide an extra challenge to players by setting certain restrictions, such as on character level or weapon and unit usage.
    • GAMs allow you to earn advanced mission points (AMP) which can be used not only to progress your GAM stage (allowing you to play more difficult missions as they are released), but also for purchasing very rare items and materials.

    GUARDIANS advanced style

    • Also known as GAS, this is a customization feature which allows you to bring out the true potential of your character.
    • GAS customizations require advanced points (AP), which can be earned by collecting advanced experience points (AEXP). AEXP, in turn, can be earned either by playing GAMs or by being at the game's current level cap.
    • There are two types of GAS: type customizations and style customizations.
    • Type customizations are upgrades which are bound to your current type, and include customizations such as those to weapons and attributes.
    • Style customizations are all-around upgrades which are bound to your character instead of your current type. These include features such as increased blocking rates and boosted trap damage.

    Discussion of this news is already underway at the forum, so feel free to chime right in! And stay tuned as part III of Edward's update notes (along with title update notes) will be arriving in the coming weeks!
