For example, everything you see in the room pictured to the left (including the furniture) was saved as \"Layout Pattern A.\" Everything you see in the room pictured on the right was saved as \"Layout Pattern B.\" With this new feature, you'll now be able to switch between these two layout patterns instantly. (According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=P7vIuE9tYJM\">video<\/a>, the my room menu also lists \"mini room\" as a layout pattern.) In addition, they're also going to increase the total furniture placement cost from 100 to 150.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-heaven.net\/topics\/2013\/06\/130627a.html\">Free Partners<\/a> are another new feature coming in July. This opens up the NPC partner system to all players even if they're not registered as friends. At the Visiphone, you can register your character as a \"free partner\" which lets other players summon them in quests. Both players receive FUN, and there's even a friend request at the end of the quest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Key-Matter.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20418\" alt=\"Key Matter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Key-Matter.jpg?resize=450%2C338\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Key-Matter.jpg?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bumped.org\/psublog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Key-Matter.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You might remember this one a while back in the rumors list. It's going to be a lot <a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-heaven.net\/topics\/2013\/06\/130626b.html\">easier going through the matter board<\/a> in July. The main route that lets you advance through the orange orbs will have 100% drop rate. Unfortunately, this is only limited to Episode 1's matter boards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.g-heaven.net\/topics\/2013\/06\/130626a.html\">subclass EXP controversy<\/a>. The subclass will now gain 10% of the EXP until it reaches level 40. If you want to level it any higher, you'll have to switch to that class. Sorry, it may not be the news you wanted to hear, but by now you should always expect a catch from SEGA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bluebar\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Porori<\/strong><\/p>\n<p
