Thread: The coming months of (JP) PSU

A schedule was just put up on SonicTeam's Japanese site detailing what we can expect to see in the coming months. Here's a rundown.

October

• Already posted about it here, so no need to really go over it again, right?

November

• World 1 and World 2 will finally be merged. (Hopefully.) The current ETA of this is mid-November. More details as they come up.
• A new system called Guardians Boost Road (GBR for short) will be implemented. Basically, certain missions are selected by SonicTeam to receive various bonuses upon completion. It's mentioned that November will start things off by increasing the drop rates of items on all Parum missions. Other planned GBR bonuses to be implemented at a later time include boosted EXP and MP values for select missions.
• Chapter 2 of Episode 3 will be released.
• The level cap will be raised to 120.
• New clothes and parts will be released.
• New Casino Volyale trade items will be added.
• New fields and free missions will be added, and as per usual, more new drops.
• The autumn and ancestral festival lobbies will be added.
• There had been mention a while back about SonicTeam starting a tracking website that will show players what missions are currently popular. That site is planned to open during the month of November.
• New partner machines will be added.
• Part of the room move passes will be introduced, which will allow you to move your room to one of the planets.

December

• Chapter 3 of Episode 3 will be released.
• The level cap will be increased to 130.
• A special event, Maximum Attack G, will begin in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Phantasy Star series.

• This event will introduce the Ragol-themed fields.
• With the new fields will come new drops.
• A poster contest will be held similar to the Thanks Festa competition. Entrants are encouraged to submit drawings based not only on just PSU but also PSO and the original Phantasy Star series of games.

January - March of 2008

• One new chapter of Episode 3 will be released each month.
• New party missions will be added.
• Three new battle types will be added. (The site doesn't say which ones, but I'm willing to bet it will be Fighmaster, Gunmaster and Masterforce. )
• Level cap wil be increased to 140.
• New fields, free missions and drops will be added.
• New clothes, parts and Casino Volyale items will be added.
• The New Year, snow, Valentine and White Day lobbies will be seen across these months.
• Even more new partner machines will be added.
• Other move tickets to allow you to move your room to one of the planets will be added.
• The Dengeki Cup (name not final) will begin. Remember that post I made a while back where the staff of Dengeki PlayStation were taking ideas for a big event? Well, this will be just that. So far, no other details have been revealed.

Lots of stuff planned over the next few months, it seems. Very impressive to say the least. Of course, as SonicTeam warns at the bottom of their page, any of this information is subject to change. If that happens, I'll keep you guys updated.

Ready...? Discuss!

wow they even have a calender. I really envy japan

Of course, keep in mind that the site doesn't specifically say that it'll be those three types that will be released. It stands to reason that it will be (leaving Acromaster for a future update), but nothing has been confirmed outside of "three new types will be released."

If they are out for JP ver., we'd get them eventually. That's all good.

Acromaster... this gives me nomnomnom-worthy thoughts.

S in Whips, Slicers, Sabers, Daggers, Madoogs, Shadoogs, Cards, Twin Daggers, Twin Sabers.
A in Single Claws, Twin Claws, Twin Handguns, Wands, Handguns, Mechguns, and Twin claws.

30 In Melee, 30 In Bullets, 30 In Attack, 40 In support.

omnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom.... I wish. Lol


Edit: Lol 2 slicers. And I just realized, what if they introduce like, double S weaponry like someone said before... o_o;
