Third Anniversary of PSU's North American Release

Today marks the third anniversary of the North American release for Phantasy Star Universe! When the game was first released, the level cap was 50 and players were struggling to earn enough meseta to craft 5-star weapons. With the small mission selection, most players spent their time repeatedly playing Plains Overlord. These were the days when players were willing to pay a premium for Crea weapon boards.

Things have certainly changed quite a bit since then! The first expansion, Ambition of the Illuminus was released two years ago with new job types and items. The current player cap is level 160 and players strive to grind their 12-star weapons to 10/10. The most popular mission for the last two years has been the incomparable White Beast. Numerous S-Rank weapons have become so common that players simply sell them to the NPC vendors rather than let them collect dust in their player shop.

While the game's heyday may be behind it, there is still a lot to look forward to. The upcoming Supplemental Update will rebalance the game and introduce a large number of new items. In addition, players can expect to see Maximum Attack G+, S3 Missions, and the conclusion of the Ambition of the Illuminus storyline.
