beat is this lil timelike 3digit-number in the menu.
its fixed, worldwide has the same time. thus its also called 'internet time' for people from different timezones to dont have to calculate eachother's local times, but just say, hey lets meet at 600@.

btw. beattime was a failure, as swatch was the only company who made watches for it.


before you ask, your pso offline beattime is off actual onlinetime unless youre in the japanese timezone in the moment.

yah... I hate that beat time is based on japan's time. Thats prolly why it was a failure.

I beg you're pardon. Beats a Japanese thing? Since when is that? No, Beats were developed by Swatch. Beat 0 is midnight at the Swatch headquarters, which is in Switzerland...

Beats do not effect rare enemies or item drops. Both were proven using game data.
