Pre-download for May 15th update and tidbits for the future

[Ezodagrom]

Throughout this week there it will be possible to pre-download parts of next week's update, it's possible to download the first part already, which is around 724MB.
The 2nd part will be available friday May 10 and will be around 563MB, and the 3rd part will be available monday May 13 and will be around 678MB.

UPDATE:Updating this post with everything that has been found about the 3 parts of the pre-download.

First, the posts from Agrajag.

This contains spoilers about future content, so check at your own risk.

Spoiler!

Spoiler!

Quoting Agrajag, the one who found and posted this in some other forums I can't link here. Bolded the most interesting bit.

On the enemy side, the following enemies are now referenced (no files included in this part of the update--this is the boring part of the data directory):
MachineWolf/mecha_wolf (3 versions--MachineWolf, MachineWolfShot, MachineWolfBoost)
MarineDog/wtr_shark (1 version)
MarineTetra/wtr_tpot (a tetra is a type of fish)
MechaMineCustom/mine_cstm (MechaMine is Kindidd, from the Big Vardha fight)
MarineFlower/wtr_flower (Poison Lily's return?)
MachineCCanon/big_robot_a (possible boss?)
MachineCShield/* (no filename)
MachineCCanonRare/* (no filename)
MachineCShieldRare/* (no filename)

Monsters seem to get new (or modified) behaviors on the next difficulty up, which is currently being called... err... "SuperVeryHard". For instance, Signo Beat seems to be able to create giant holograms (or something).

And that's about all I expect to get out of this part of the client. People who enjoy ripping weapon models should have some new toys to play with.

Spoiler!

New quests:
Emergency:
With Wind and Rain (雨風とともに) (see Bumped)
****************** (emergency quest, your guess is as good as mine)

Advance:
Urban and Ruins AQs have full descriptions now.
Special Survey: Sanctum (特務先遣調査：龍祭壇) (requires C capsules)

Event:
Arks GP: Preliminary Stage (アークスＧＰ予選ステージ)
Initial Battle [placeholder] (【工事中】全国大会本戦)
******************
******************

XTREEEEEM (tower):
Extreme Training: Tundra and Machines (極限訓練：凍土と機甲)
Extreme Training: Forest and Dragons (極限訓練：森林と龍)
Water and Darkness Training Academy [placeholder] (水と闇の訓練所（仮）)

Client orders:
Xie wants Mr. Umblla. Have fun!

Emergency trials:
Tower has four unique ones. One's a generic stage order (it can have several different requirements--compare how code: attacks can be anything), one's for fighting Elder (or arms--not sure), one looks to be a poison room (like in PSO ruins), one seems to be... err... just kill all the monsters.
Burning Rangers trial. Has absolutely no text yet, but has conditions for finding and rescuing people, adding generators(?), and a time limit.

Standard selection of new clothing, etc.

(Extreme Passes are "virtual items" that you have to view at a terminal, so presumably they work like PSU's training passes.)

Spoiler!

Looks like ******************* is how they dummy out text now, guess they're tired of people like me ripping out things about the FUTURE, heh.

Random snippets from the text files:
Rare Goronzoran is named "Zoron Goraal" (ゾロン・ゴラール).
There's a team room attendant named "Ricardo" (リカルド). The others are uninteresting.
There's a "Favors Dewmans" character trait (デューマン好き).
The bird(bird(crow)) enemy type is "Chimera"; there's a character trait for fighting them (キメラ狙い).
There are 6 new item affixes--Alter Arma, Alter Tiro, Alter Magia, Flict Arma, Flict Tiro, Flict Magia. Basically souls (Alter's +30 HP/+20 *attack stat*, Flict is +3 PP/+20 *attack stat*).
"Arks Road" is a thing. It has ranks, and cards with rewards.
Bingo cards: Also exist. Appear to be like bingo cards, but I don't know the specifics (I think they're CO-ish?).
"Katana" and "Compound Bow" are the confirmed weapon names ("カタナ" and "コンパウンドボウ").
Event quests are "Limited Quests" (期間限定クエスト), for the 3 of you who care about naming conventions.
Swordarcher's real name is "Braver" (ブレイバー).

Icons from all the parts of the pre-download in single pictures, the weapon icons are separated by weapon type, and also organized a bit the picture with the clothes.

Spoiler!

Weapons (the gemini twin daggers and bouquet wand, those are repeated because they actually have 2 icons, it seems that one is a weapon and the other is camouflage?):

Sega is getting lazy with names.

Nice to see some more clothing from PSU and that first weapon is definately a katana.

Marine Dog

[Xaeris]

lol, "SuperVeryHard." That's probably just its name in code. Some of those new weapons look pretty neat. I imagine a few of them are the 11* Tower drops. The TMG in particular remind me of Entou Jyuu from Katanagatari.

As for the clothes...look, Sega, men look awesome in long coats. I agree with this. I believe this. But ffs, enough. How many do we have now? Make me something else.

[Laxedrane]

If that sword a wand, I want it<3. That partisan pretty sexy too. Not a mech users but those guns look super super super sexy. What's the Bouquet though?

Also which thing is the mag? I see 3 possibilities.

[Xaeris]

I'm guessing the Mr. Umbla is the mag.

SEGA's internal names for PSO2 enemies can be rather "interesting" sometimes (Dinian - DragonRizardMan).
