JP PC/PS2 update for 10.25.07

[EspioKaos]

Official Japanese site

Seasonal lobby
The Halloween lobbies will be up from 10.25.07 until 11.15.07.

New field
Habirao Forbidden District will be added.

New free missions
* Mushroom Hill
Due to the incredibly high concentrations of photon energy at Habirao, civilians are prohibited from entering the area due to the risk of photon poisoning. However, in order to investigate the photon energy in this area, it is up to you to clear a path through the enemies for a research team.

* Rare, Dancing Bird
Due to the high photon concentrations at Habirao coupled with SEED contamination, a large outbreak of a subspecies of the rare Rappy has occurred. It seems there is one large bird that commands the smaller ones. Take down the huge Rappy!

New mid-point lobby
Going with Habirao's addition, a new lobby, Habriao Village, will be added.

Partner machine adjustments
The following partner machines will see some efficiency tweaks and adjustments: GH-413, GH-423, GH-433, GH-443 and GH-453.

New photon arts
Some new skills will be added to the PA Fragment exchange mission. Two of these include Chuei Jitotsu-shin (twin claws) and Ick Hic (knuckles).

Weapons
New weapons and weapon boards will be introduced.

New clothes and CV parts
New clothing will be added for humans, newmans and beasts, while more color variant CAST parts will be introduced.

Furthermore, a section of the site mentions the addition of Mt. Ohtoku's "donation box" and then shows a grayed out shot of the Mikumiko clothing set for all female characters, including CASTs. Hmm...

New room goods
Numerous new room decorations will be added.

New casino prizes
Many new room goods and jukebox discs will be added to Casino Volyale's Vol Coin trade counter.

Sale of "Fireworks"
The item "Fireworks" will no longer be sold at NPC shops with this update.

Enemy drop changes
Certain enemies (including bosses) will see an adjustment in what items they drop.

Yes! I love the Halloween lobby. Be it the elaborate decorations or the catchy music, this is my favorite time of year in PSU.

New free missions

I really enjoyed Habirao in offline mode and am excited to see it online. My only concern is that Habirao really isn't difficult at all. Maybe the mid-point lobby mission will change that.

Partner machine adjustments
The following partner machines will see some efficiency tweaks and adjustments: GH-413, GH-423, GH-433, GH-443 and GH-453.

Ok good. But where are the Photon Arts adjustments?

New photon arts
Some new skills will be added to the PA Fragment exchange mission. Two of these include Chuei Jitotsu-shin (twin claws) and Ick Hic (knuckles).

Interesting that they would add the two joke Photon Arts first. I wonder if any importers are going to even bother learning these skills.

Weapons
New weapons and weapon boards will be introduced.

New stuff to hunt. Always good.

Furthermore, a section of the site mentions the addition of Mt. Ohtoku's "donation box" and then shows a grayed out shot of the Mikumiko clothing set for all female characters, including CASTs. Hmm...

There is the possibility of new donation box items being added? That's good. It needed more than just one item.

New room goods
Numerous new room decorations will be added.

I want me some new room reform tickets!

New casino prizes
Many new room goods and jukebox discs will be added to Casino Volyale's Vol Coin trade counter.

Gib "World With Me" disk

Enemy drop changes
Certain enemies (including bosses) will see an adjustment in what items they drop

I wonder for what enemies these will apply to.

I think the drop changes might be to some of the old v1 monsters that still drop 6* 50-100. Like ollukas might drop the new yohmei rifles at higher lvls.
