Letter From The Developer

Levarenz Integra Series

The Levarenz Integra were made to make getting the Levarenz Series easier to obtain. The Leveranz series is scheduled to have 2 upgrades in future updates.

Rinz Series

The 13 star Cres Series series weapons were released last year, and players have been able to trade Cres Cubes for Cres AT weapons. However, having Cres Cubes serve as both an exchange material and an upgrade material for weapons caused confusion over how they should be used. Seeing this, they decided to make this new material serve solely as an upgrade material. This makes the two series distinct. The Rinz series is obtained only as a drop, while Levarenz is designed to be comparatively easier to obtain.

The Phantom Tower Assault: North Tundra & Altered Remnant of Wisdom Laughs

Thy developed these two quests as approachable challenges where players can put their strength to the quest. The difficulty is not demanding as the previous high difficulty content, but both quests will still give you a good opportunity to test your equipment and skills. Once you obtain a weapon from the Levarenz or Rinz series, they hope you take on these quests and put their performance to the test.

Dalio Ludian

They developed Dalio Ludian as a Starless comparable to Dark Falz offering a very different combat experience to Solus Crypt. It's combat style and mechanics are also significantly different so players can look forward to discovering new strategies and ways to approach the fight.

ARKS Operation Report

I keep having to readjust the camera distance every time i log in.
Can you make it so my settings are saved?

With the October update, they are making it so that Camera Distance are saved like other option settings. As long as you log in from the same device, your settings will be retained.

I wish there were more slots for my EX Special Abilities on my Wanted Item List!

They plan to increase the number of slots from 3 to 6 in the December update.

Can you increase the cap on Accessory Costs

There are some difficult technical considerations, but they've been conducting tests and have found that raising the cap should be possible with a few limitations. They've made a breakthrough! But they'll need a little more time, but they hope to get this to a place you'll all be happy with.

I'd like to do covers of the 5th Anniversary Songs like Nyantasy Star. Are you planning to release instrumental tracks?

They are preparing instrumental videos for the 5th Anniversary Songs. They'll be releasing them one by one on YouTube starting August 27th. Please feel free to use them! Guidelines will be posted on each video's description.

Sena Designs

"These outfits share a dark fantasy theme, I designed the T1 around the image of a devil hunter or exorcist, and the T2 outfits around the contrasting images of a Saint and a Demon. For the promotional art, I combined an original setting I imagined specifically for this crossover and how it would look if that world crossed over with PSO2. Manon's outfit is black as well, which helps brings the visuals together with a wonderfully dark atmosphere" ~sena
