+During the first week of the Winter Event, just [[The Protectors α]] was available, only to be replaced by [[The Protectors β]] in the second week.  The third week reintroduced the initial mission to run alongside the second for the remainder of the event.  These two missions were VR simulations created by Holupe Dence as a training program for future GUARDIANS recruits.  Blocks of each mission were based around areas from past events like [[Operation Firebreak]] and the [[1Up Platinum Cup]]; others were borrowed from various free, party and story missions.
-The missions are VR simulations created from popular areas of PSU up to September 2007, including areas from [[Operation Firebreak]] and the [[1Up Platinum Cup]] events, as well as blocks from Story Missions, Free Missions and Party Missions. Some of the blocks have been slightly changed to add more monsters or buttons to unlock chips, and monster levels are based ''solely'' on the rank of the Festa mission and ''not'' on the mission they were taken from! Because this event took place on the Japanese servers just before the Japanese release of [[Ambition of the Illuminus]], it contains no content that is not accessible using the regular version of PSU.
+The objective of each Winter Event mission was to collect chips which were scattered throughout the levels.  Both missions had a choice of two routes to take, and each route had 10 chips to collect.  Your final grade at the end of each mission was directly affected by the number of chips you collected.  Furthermore, displayed on the right side of the screen was a meter represented by empty and solid stars.  These served as indicators of your current EXP boost.  Each mission began with a 200% EXP boost and continued to climb while progressing through the mission, usually maxing out at 300% by the time the second boss was reached.  The maximum boost of 350% was obtainable only by receiving a rare map.

 As an additional twist somewhat similar to ''Phantasy Star Online'''s VR mission ''Towards the Future'', all Festa missions have two bosses in quick succession, with double boss drops at the end of the second boss. Note that if you get a rare map, you will fight both forms of [[Dulk Fakis]], which are considered separate bosses.

 The objective of the Festa missions is to collect chips (in a similar manner to the 1UP missions) scattered throughout the levels. Both missions have a choice of two routes to take, and each route has 10 possible chips. The chip score you get directly affects your rank. In addition, there will be a notice on the right of the screen with up to five stars depending on the area you are in. This is the EXP boost of that area.
