03/09/2007: Lv.80 Cap and More!

• Today the level cap for Phantasy Star Universe has been raised to 80. This has been considered long-overdue by many players as the Lv.70 cap had been in place for just under two months. We've also got some other stuff including a new story mission, S2 free missions and new PM evolution devices! Check out the updates page to get the specifics. - Miraglyth 09:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

03/02/2007: Long-Awaited Update

• It's been a long three weeks, hasn't it? Finally Phantasy Star Universe receives some new content, including the awaited "Ultimate" Photon Arts, the second HIVE mission and two new co-operative missions. In addition, the "shift-cancelling" trick with TECHNICs has been removed just in time to prevent Nos-series TECHs being abused. - Miraglyth 10:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

02/25/2007: Illegal Item Deletion

• This update's a little late appearing, but in the usual maintenance period, additional measures were implemented to prevent the use of illegal equipment in Network Mode. The extent of what players have been told is that all items marked as "unobtainable" will be deleted by the game instantly and/or when removed from shops. However some known unattainable items (particularly room goods and grinded A-Rank or S-Rank weapons) have apparently slipped through these measures. - Miraglyth 13:20, 25 February 2007 (CST)

02/16/2007: No More V-Day!

• Just a quick note to say that during a ten-minute maintenance that occured during the "grave shift", the Valentine's Event has been brought to a close. For the first time since the game's second update on the 7th of December, there are no themed lobbies active. - Miraglyth 06:03, 16 February 2007 (CST)

02/09/2007: Update 010: 'Technical Difficulties'

• The February 8th-9th update has been a string of disappointments. As the game was brought down for maintenance, forum admin (Sega employee) Superfuzz posted update details that informed players that the next update wouldn't be until March 2nd. Following that, on the update's completion (the maintenance only lasting about 150 minutes), players learned that the "Ultimate PAs" - the focus of the update - were not added at all. Shortly following, Superfuzz confirmed this citing "technical difficulties" as the reasoning, and stating that they would not be added until "the next update" - which as previously mentinoed is going to take three times longer than usual updates. - Miraglyth 04:52, 9 February 2007 (CST)

02/02/2007: Update 009

• The February 1st-2nd update is here! After what many users complained was "too long with the Winter lobbies", we've now got new/brilliant/sickening (depending on how cynical you are) lobbies. There are also three entirely new missions - one per planet - and a bunch of nice tweaks - some long-awaited - to the game. - Miraglyth 05:10, 2 February 2007 (CST)

01/26/2007: Game Update

• The January 25th-26th update has arrived. For the first time since the 7th of December (6/7 updates ago) we've got all-new missions! One each for Parum, Moatoob and the GUARDIANS Colony. We've also got a new Story Mission. - Miraglyth 05:10, 26 January 2007 (CST)

01/19/2007: Update 007

• The January 18th-19th update has come, only instead of getting the four promised S-Rank mission variants, we got five! We've now got S-Ranks for every mission in the game save the Bruce's Dungeon party mission. In addition, the "swimsuit glitch" (article no doubt pending) and synthesis disconnect/cancel trick to save the board, have both been fixed and are now impossible. - Miraglyth 04:44, 19 January 2007 (CST)

01/15/2007: Updated

• Happy New Year! The update has come, and it appears to be what I researched! Yay! - Kyodai Inkei 16:25, 15 January 2007 (CST)
  • The bathing suits are available from the Kubara shop - Clyez City Level 3; Shopping Mall B. - Yamishi

12/31/2006: Update Coming Mid-January

• Happy New Year! With the new year comes good news. On January Twelfth, 2007, the greedy, lethargic, and possibly apathetic workers of SEGA and Sonic Team will give all US/EU servers a much needed content update. In this update, a completely new mission will become available on Moatoob; this is rumored to be "Bruce's Dungeon." The third online story mission will also be made available. In the way of combat, new Photon Arts will be released, and the level cap will be increased to 70. On an individual level, new room decorations will be added, but, most importantly, new clothing and parts will be a welcomed addition. Personally, I cannot wait for the swimsuits. Hurray for close-to-full nudity! - Kyodai Inkei 08:34, 31 December 2006 (CST)

12/26/2006: Christmas Is Over

• The Christmas theme has been removed from all lobbies on all PSU servers. All Christms-themed items are no longer available in NPC stores. - Kyodai Inkei 18:00, 26 December 2006 (PST)

12/22/2006: Another Update

• Nothing big, but a new mission, "Episode 2 Chapter 2: Desert's End", has been added. S-rank missions have also been added. What will be the fate of our beloved ex-Guardian Ethan? - Kyodai Inkei 4:09, 22 December 2006 (PST)

12/16/2006: Third Update

• Again a little late, but Sega has made good on their promise of weekly content updates (so far). This past Friday, the English Phantasy Star Universe servers were updated with five new S-Rank missions. The missions are: Mad Creatures, Mizuraki Defense, Demons Above, Valley of Carnage, and Mine Defense. The official website promises here that next week will bring a new story mission, along with even more S-Rank missions. - Segaholic2 13:29, 16 December 2006 (PST)

12/09/2006: Second Update!

• (A little late, but...) Starting a series of what is promised to be weekly updates in the forseeable future, the English Phantasy Star Universe servers have been updated with a plethora of content. Most importantly the raise in level cap from 50 to 60 and the addition of Expert Types, the addition of A and S-ranked weapons and armor, our first Story Mission and our first two S-Rank Missions, the update also introduces to us our first event, in the form of Christmas. For further information on the update's details check the Updates page. - Miraglyth 14:21, 9 December 2006 (PST)
