More to be added…
July 30th Tidbits
The following is based on info collected through social media from people who attended the Phantasy Star Festa in Osaka. Due to this, we are unable to personally verify information. Some information may be incorrect, incomplete, or missing context.
The information below might be slightly incorrect, incomplete, or missing context.
Cross Block Matching
- They plan to fix some bugs with Cross Block Matching. They want to get those in before Buster Quests are implemented.
Deus Esca Trigger
- They plan to release a Deus Esca trigger in the future.
Nightmare Vegas
- This boss is voiced by Daichi Kanbara.
Next Class
- A new class will be released after Episode 5 that's also going to be an advanced class. This advanced class might release for Episode 6?
Existing Classes
- They plan to add skills and change some of the behavior of existing classes.
- They're going to buff techer! However, they haven't decided what they plan to do.
Scratch Exchange Ticket
- They're planning a scratch exchange ticket for SG Scratch.
Mini Rappy Suit
- They think they might do color variations of the mini rappy suit. Maybe?
Bathing Suit/Swimwear Qualification
- They apparently made the decision not to include the Fundoshi as swimwear. The qualification isn't about showing off skin, but rather, whether an article of clothing is actually considered swimwear. Since the Fundoshi is considered underwear, it will not qualify for Beach Wars.
Heroes
- At present, they do not have plans to nerf Heroes. (They're still going to correct balance issues however, like that unlimited PP thing.)
Late August Update
- Luther, Harriet, and Alisa layered wear
- New Advance Quest: Shironia
- New Event: ARKS Boost Rally (This is already referenced in the game)
ARKS Boost Rally
- It's similar to Gurhal Boost Road from PSU.
- This will target Advance Quests: Volcano, Coast, & Shironia.
- You'll experience a boost based on the difficulty cleared for the targeted quests.
- This event will drop a 13 star sword with a potential that's beneficial to Hero.
- (I'm not sure if they talked about the sword, but people were able to deduce that it's a sword from the Episode 5 Start Guide. If this is correct, then the sword is called "Altercray" or "Altacray." It has a potential that increases power by x% and increases power for a limited time when Heroes evade an enemy's attack.)
