It seems logical that we would get higher tier difficulties like S3-S5. If we don't, than many of the 13* and up items will never be available in the current missions. ST has to address that somehow. Do you really think they are going to cram every 200+ enemy into a handful of unreleased missions?

Yeah, really. There's a 5 year plan for PSU but that doesn't mean they won't leave the servers up an extra couple of years, make a new game and shut them down lol.

Time out for a sec.

People are forgetting that the S2-S5 icons in that old hacked picture were icons that had no correlation with mission ranks whatsoever; they were the kind of icon you see beside a weapon rank. Because of that, even without an official confirmation from Sega, you can almost certainly assume that ST had planned on changing the icons for higher-star S weapons to compliment their absurd stats and rarity. After all, when AoI came out, think of how many different icons they not only added, but changed as well. (e.g. star rarity colours, new stars for 13-15, etc.)

However, as others have already said, there is indeed a five year plan for this game so I'm completely expecting higher missions ranks somewhere down the line. Whether or not it will go all the way up to S5 is yet to be seen. For all we know they could pull a PSO and ditch the game for the last two years of its lifespan. I hope they don't, but time will tell. Regardless, I can at least see S3 missions by next year... hopefully
