PSO2 Alpha Test Emails Sent

We're seeing numerous reports on twitter about Phantasy Star Online 2 Alpha Test E-mail being sent out. I didn't get selected though, but if you want to be a PSO2 correspondent on here, by all means send me a message!

According to the email, there is no scheduled date for when the Alpha Test starts, but it will start sometime this summer. But one line kinda struck me,

ラグオルからオラクルへと舞台は変わりますが
(Even Though) the stage has changed from Ragol to Oracle..

Hm I'm looking too much into it but I was thinking Oracle was a spaceship, but perhaps it means the central  setting of PSO2 is Oracle.

If you weren't selected, wait for an additional announcement of when they will select another round of testers.

PSP2i DLC: Maximum Attack Infinity IV

Last week we achieved 100% giga phone by amassing 49+ million kills. This week our reward weapon is Esperanza, whose goal is 55million kills. I think he's making it too easy for us.

Esperanza Twin Saber: 55 Mil Kills for 100%

At 50 million kills, our clear result reward weapons that you receive in the mission results screen will now have 30% ~ 50% elemental rate. But Sakai wrote we actually should aim for more than 60million kills this time, because another reward panel is waiting to be unlocked.

 

In Maximum Attack Infinity IV, players will battle on the ark, destroying SEED cores before they reach 100%. If they reach that amount, you will receive damage and your field of vision is slightly obstructed with a purple haze.

 

This time the main attributes you should use is light and dark. At 52 million kills, the bonus block unlocks! At the end of the mission you will fight Dark Falz Dios.

 

Did you know you can now change the BGM for each MAI mission to "Entrance Infinity?" (Ok actually I think that's overkill.)
