ARKS Ceremonial Lobby
Celebrate the founding of the ARKS with a Ceremonial Lobby and event! The lobby will be decorated with red and blue flags, golden statues, and a flock of colorful balloons floating through the air.
Through the Fire Swirl
PSO2's hottest quest returns for a limited time! The [ARKS Ship Fire Swirl] Emergency Quest will appear at pre-scheduled times, now supporting up to XH difficulty. Lambda Grinders can be awarded through clearing Emergency Trials, so grab your rescue guns and fight those fires!
You can even pick up some [Weapon Badges] by clearing the quest.
ARKS Grand Prix Challenge Quest
Alongside the Phantasy Star Festa 2016 event is a new [ARKS Grand Prix]! This offline tournament welcomes players from all over Japan to compete for the fastest times at clearing quests specially crafted for the event.
Players can utilize a new preliminaries practice quest to hone their skills beforehand. This quest takes place on Shironia, pitting players against enemy Darkers and Kuronites. Your time will be recorded up until you defeat Gigur Gunne-gam in the final area.
In order to accept the quest, you will need enter a Challenge Block on either your own ship or the shared ship. Access the terminal in the campship and choose a class setup of Hunter, Ranger, Force, Braver, or Bouncer before beginning the quest.
While you won't gain items or experience, you can earn some Challenge Miles and even a title when you clear the quest. Unlike in the actual Grand Prix Preliminaries, players will be able to place items from the item menu onto the field.

Sega's very own [7th Dragon III Code: VFD] game is bringing you new items from its Samurai, Rune Knight, and Fortuner classes in this latest collab for PSO2. In addition, new armor sporting dragon designs that first appeared in the Taiwanese release of PSO2 are on their way.
※Looking for suggestions for the Taiwanese costume names.
Need name suggestions for the Taiwanese costumes? Easy lol.
Male costume: (Run! It's Lu Bu's armor!)
Female costume: (Run again! It's Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi's armor!)
Those should be the names for costumes.
*goes watch the Chinese Genocide Simulator, er, Dynasty Warriors 8 trailer on Steam*
Eh, Lingqi wears more that *that* at least. Her default outfit almost passes for legit armor even. Some of the other ladies OTOH…
He thought you were serious.

Just to make sure, this means that you can get Challenge Miles from doing the 'current' practice time attack?
No, this is only for the Preliminaries Challenge Quest.
"While you won’t gain items or experience, you can earn some Challenge Miles and even a title when you clear the quest. Unlike in the actual Grand Prix Preliminaries, players will be able to place items from the item menu onto the field."
The actual Grand Prix Preliminaries are in reference to the offline tournament that was mentioned in the post above. There's no need to drop items on the field when you have 25,000 AC on the line.
Love this game, love the artwork, love the competitions.
Temple Style Repca is my fav. Rarrrr!
Nice scratch coming up. I'm interested in 2 costumes here. Temple and that dress that came out in China.
