==== 02/29/08: New free and story missions! ====
 +
* [[Updates#Update_041|Update 041]] has introduced a new free mission, [[The Black Nest]], as well as the third chapter of ''Episode 3'', [[Will of Light 1]] and [[Will of Light 2]].  And finally, to round things off, [[The Collector]] has been updated once again with numerous new items.
  
====11/15/2006: First Update Gets Official Date====
+
==== 02/15/08: New PM devices and more! ====
* 1up.com has teamed up with Sega to provide official PSU update news, before even the official PSU website gets it. The [http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3155269 article] confirms that there will be a content patch this coming Thursday, and will be available to access on Friday the 17th. Moatoob will finally be accessible, including the materials, weapons, and items that go along with it. Parum and Neudaiz will also receive new missions, so in total about 6 new missions will be introduced in this update. - [[User:Segaholic2|Segaholic2]] 10:24, 15 November 2006 (PST)
+
* [[Updates#Update_040|Update 040]] brings us a step closer to synchronizing Xbox 360 and PC/PS2 updates again. With this update, [[GUARDIANS Boost Road]] has begun officially for the 360 and S2 versions of [[Caves of Ice]] and [[Awoken Serpent]] have been released.   Other interesting notes on this update include new room decorations and music discs at [[Casino Voloyal]] as well as numerous new PM devices such as [[EX Device GH480]] and [[Nanotranser X]].  Check out our release notes for further details.

==== 02/08/08: Valentine's Day and new S2 missions ====
 +
* [[Updates#Update_039|Update 039]] has introduced the seasonal Valentine's event, bringing the rare [[Rappy Amure]] with it.  A number of other changes have occurred, though they are split between servers due to some technical issues.  The 360 servers have received the [[Updates#Update_038|update]] that the PC/PS2 servers received last week.  SonicTeam are still awaiting Microsoft's certification of the title update necessary to fix a few in-game glitches, however.  The PC/PS2 servers have received a small update including two new S2 missions, [[Caves of Ice]] and [[Awoken Serpent]].  Despite official reports stating it would not happen, the rare free mission [[Forest of Illusion]] has also been released.

====11/11/2006: First online cheating on PSU US====
+
====01/18/08: The Winter Event Continues!====
* Due to the fact that PSU's Network Mode still lets certain things be handled client-side, the first forms of online hacking have been able to manifest itself. The perpetrator is (not quite unsurprisingly) Broomop. People reporting the issue on the [http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/ official forums] were quickly silenced, but one [http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=126377&forum=20 PSOW thread] still has quite a bit of info on the events. The user was banned shortly, but considering the fact he keeps shifting through new accounts by begging for them, this does not quite solve things really. Let's hope the issue will be taken care of. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 08:14, 11 November 2006 (PST)
+
* [[Updates#Update_036|Update 036]] removes [[The Protectors α]], replacing it with [[The Protectors ß]]. The former mission will be available again next week.
  
 +
====01/11/08: The Winter Event has begun!====
 +
* [[Updates#Update_035|Update 035]] kicks off the three week long [[Winter Event]]!  The level cap has also been increased to LV120, four new clothes and parts sets have been added and numerous new decorations are available at the Variety Shop and [[Casino Voloyal]].  Check out the link above for further details.
  
====10/27/2006: Importers beating the system====
+
====12/21/07: New mission and PAs!====
* There has been a lot going on since the US release, with the apparent [http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=123012&forum=20&228 lack of a game key], the log-in servers getting jammed like at the Japanese release, and the horrid AVS system impeding EU players from being able to create game accounts easily. [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] has recently covered most of the recent history on the latter in the new [[Importing]] article. If you haven't been reading all forums 24/7 and and are considering to import the game or are already in the process of doing so, be sure to give it a read. - [[User:Tycho|Tycho]] 07:37, 27 October 2006 (PDT)
+
* [[Updates#Update_034|Update 034]] introduces one new mission at AMF Central Command in Holtes City, [[Electronic Brain]].  Also, the item exchange mission [[Skill License]] at Dagora City's GUARDIANS Branch has been updated with many new photon arts.  Click the link above to check out the full details on this week's update.
  
====10/24/2006: The Battle Begins -- Though no payment options for importers!====
+
====12/14/07: Habirao is now open!====
* Well, the US official release date is now upon us and many of us are anxiously waiting for copies to arrive by post or for pre-orders to get to shops or whatever. If you manage to get hold of the game today despite the apparent delays and other stuff then you're a lucky sod and I hate you. But enjoy your Gurhalian life, everybody~ [[User:Mewn|Mewn]]
+
* [[Updates#Update_033|Update 033]] introduces two new missions at Neudaiz's Habirao Forbidden District, [[Hill of Spores]] and [[Dancing Birds]]. Christmas has also begun across Gurhal, with decorations being put up in Clyez, Holtes and Dagora Cities. Check out the link above for full details on the new content.
*: Edit: It turned out only American credit cards can be used to pay for subscribtions. In practice, this means European and Australian players that imported the American version got shafted, and will not be able to play online for a month, unless they manage to make a deal with contacts resident in the States.

====10/14/2006: Xbox360 payment details!====
+
====11/30/07: New missions and more!====
The PSUPedia has got hold of some information which appears to reveal and confirm certain details of the payment for the X360 GUARDIANS License.
+
* Today's [[Updates#Update_032|update]] introduces two new free missions and one new story mission to ''Ambition of the Illuminus''. There are also new clothing and parts sets as well as new room decorations available at [[Casino Voloyal]]. And if that weren't enough, our reward period from the [[1Up Platinum Cup]] begins today and has been extended to last for three weeks!
* You only need a Silver Xbox Live subscription - that was well known anyway though.
 
* US Xbox360 GUARDIANS License is [http://psupedia.org/images/6/62/Xbox360Payment.JPG $9.99/month]. The EU License is [http://psupedia.org/images/e/e0/Xbox360UKPayment.JPG E8.95/month].
 
* There's no option for Microsoft Points - payment seems to be Credit/Debit Card only. A 'Redeem Code' option appears for both EU and US, the exact use is unknown, but I ''speculate'' it to be something like entering a serial code that comes with the game in order to get a free trial period. I can't say for sure though, and wouldn't like to pin down a use.
 
* The currency shown when you are purchasing the License depends on the region of your Gamertag.
 
Note: This information is not final and is subject to change. Neither myself nor PSUPedia take any responsibility if the information does turn out to be incorrect. That's not to say it isn't, I just like to cover my backside. :) [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 19:42, 14 October 2006 (PDT) [[Image:X360_Silver_Membership.PNG|thumb|right|113px|An XBox Live Silver box]]
 
  
At an odd time when we already have several previews, EGM has posted [http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3154214 a generally positive preview] of PSU. Like us at PSUP, we are willing to lose a few more <small>thousand</small> hours to the online mode as opposed to the offline mode. <small>[[User:SAsim|Asim]]</small> <small> ( [[User talk:SAsim|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/SAsim|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>)</small> 15:52, 14 October 2006 (PDT)

* This [[Updates#Update031|update]] has brought a close to the [[1Up Platinum Cup]] as well as the Halloween lobbies. We earned a total of 4,212,511 Gurhal Check Points during the run of the event.  Rewards will be issued soon. Stay tuned for further information. Moving on, this update has introduced a number of exciting new features to the game as we move even close to the release of ''[[Ambition of the Illuminus]]''. Click the link above for full details on what was added.
* The price of the GUARDIANS License will be $9.99 each month. The price is still unknown for other areas, like the EU versions.
 
* A GUARDIANS License can be bought on the X360 with either a Gold or a Silver Xbox Live account.
 
* An expansion pack is most likely coming, along with what is promised to be 'regular content updates'.
 
In addition, an [http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com/news_beta.php X360 Open Beta] will soon be available to download on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Unlike with the actual game itself you '''will''' need to have a Gold account to access this Open Beta. The Beta runs from October 11th until the 18th, but the download itself is only available on the 11th and 12th so get in there quick if you intend to participate!

Also, upon completing any of the missions with an S-rank, an all-new third bonus mission has been added to each VR mission. Remember!  This is the last week of the Cup, so enjoy it while you can!
*JubeiSaotome of PSOW has posted [http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=120797&forum=20&7 in this thread] about a news clip on the [http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/p/phantasystaruniversexbox360/ official XBox site] about many release dates seen on the Australian PALGN list. It includes Australia's delayed release date for PSU: '''November 30th''' (October 31st originally). Your best bet is to pre-order the US version through Gamestop or NCSX (both ship worldwide) if you don't want to wait another seven weeks.
 
*In other news, the US X360 site is now up, although the only news is that it's rated T (like its predecessor) and will cost the average $60. The site is official but is not part of the Sega site. <small>[[User:SAsim|Asim]]</small> <small> ( [[User talk:SAsim|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/SAsim|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>)</small> 06:54, 9 October 2006 (PDT)

====10/19/07: The 1Up Cup begins!====
If you were lucky like Jonathan_F or IGN, you would be playing a Beta version of US PSU right now! This Beta version, which is open to another hundred important media staffs (although 10 or less came to play), has the same content of JP Closed Beta Trial and has been opened since Friday. From this we can expect a flood of previews (some sites, such as [http://pc.ign.com/articles/736/736897p1.html IGN] have already got on the case) from game sources. The version will only be active until the 8th, and we can also expect that there will probably not be a EU Beta.

''US and EU servers will be linked, I don't think anyone will have any problems with me releasing that info. The release date for EU is November 24, as seen by their version of the site. The other main difference for the EU site is the included movie, we had a few issues with our ESRB tag and should have a site update soon to include a US trailer.''

====06/28/07: New Party Mission!====

* After three weeks focusing mostly on the Operation: Firebreak and Sonic Birthday [[Events|events]], Firebreak has finally concluded. To ease the loss of the limited-time party missions, the game has brought in an all-new party mission in its latest [[Updates#Update_020|update]].

-STE- of PSOW has posted [http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=118979&forum=20&13 in this thread] about an update on the PSU (Japanese) [http://www.phantasystaruniverse.jp/server/ official site] that there will be a division of JP servers; [http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/server/image/world.jpg World1 and World2]. Characters will be bound to one world once they are created in that world. Although they are different servers/worlds, you will still only have four characters. At the moment, there is only World1. Once Sega establishes World2 in two days, you can make a one time migration to another World (everyone is on World1 as of now) but after that, you will be separated from everyone in World1. There will be 100 univeres (or servers) once World2 is established. Worlds, which Sega sees as being much larger than a universe, are mainly for server space. This trend is also expected on the US/EU version of PSU. <small>[[User:SAsim|Asim]]</small> <small> ( [[User talk:SAsim|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/SAsim|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>)</small> 13:25, 12 September 2006 (PDT)

zaff100 of PSOW has posted [http://pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=118729&forum=20&25 in this thread] revealing that for those living in any area in Europe, if you log on to the PSU (English) [http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com/index.php official site] you will see a banner on the top page that reads, "THE BATTLE BEGINS NOVEMBER 24TH", meaning the release date will be November 24th

(although if you live in North America, along with countries such as Spain, you will see the release date is October 24th). It's safe to say this is not an error, as Europe usually gets its games late of Japan and North America. Although there are different release dates, the US and EU will still be connected. <small>[[User:SAsim|Asim]]</small> <small> ( [[User talk:SAsim|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/SAsim|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>)</small> 09:38, 10 September 2006 (PDT)

Looking forward, the next update will take place on May 25th, bringing the much awaited [B] [[Grinder A]], new lobby decorations and the new server-wide event, [[Operation Firebreak]]. Stay tuned for more details. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 16:19, 11 May 2007 (BST)
*The [http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com/index.php English site] is up. It looks like a revamped PSO:BB site. The most notable thing is that the game ID you used for PSO:BB can be used again; it's still done through PlaySega. You can also register for the Guardians' Express, which usually gives you two newsletters per month. [[user:Ahzi|Ahzi]] @ EVE 00:11, 6 September 2006 (PDT)

*Shimarisu of PSOW has posted [http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=118486&forum=20&0 in this thread] that the relaunch of the Network Mode servers for testing has been delayed, for an unspecified period of time.

====04/26/2007: Chapter 2; Episode 8 and 2 new S2 Missions!====
*EDIT: Along with the new site, the date of Oct 24th for the US version of Phantasy Star Universe has been confirmed. [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 02:41, 6 September 2006 (PDT)
+
* In this particular [[Updates#Update_016|update]], players were given a new Storyline Mission, bringing the online storyline closer to it's conclusion, as well as allowing high level players to experience two new S2 missions: Eastern Peril and Rogue's Shortcut. The Cherry Blossom Festival has also been brought to a close with this update. The April 26th Update also gave players the long awaited announcenement of the US release date for Ambitions of the Illuminus, as well as the announcement of Operations Firebreak. - [[User:Ness012345|Ness012345]], 17:06, 4 May 2007 (BST)

 +
====04/13/2007: Three Weeks Later====
 +
* In this awaited [[Updates#Update_015|update]], Phantasy Star Universe has gained new clothing options for all characters and three new S2 difficulty missions on Moatoob. The Easter [[Events|event]] has given way to some form of "Cherry Blossom" festival. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 15:00, 15 April 2007 (BST)
 +
 
 +
====03/23/2007: New Party Missions!====
 +
* The [[Updates#Update_014|update today]] just gives us two new party missions from C to S2 difficulty (though it's worth noting that the older two party missions have not had S2 difficulty added), along with a change in [[Events|event]] from White Day to Easter. Which is unfortunately going to have to tide us over for another three weeks... - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 09:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 +
 
 +
====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#Update_013|updates page]] to get the specifics. - [[User:Miraglyth|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 PA Fragment 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. - [[User:Miraglyth|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. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 13:20, 25 February 2007 (CST)
 +
 
 +
====02/16/2007: No More V-Day!====
 +
* Just a quick note to say that during a [[Updates#Update_011|ten-minute maintenance]] that occured during the "grave shift", the [[Events#Valentine.27s_Day|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. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 06:03, 16 February 2007 (CST)
 +
 
 +
====02/09/2007: Update 010: 'Technical Difficulties'====
 +
* The February 8th-9th [[Updates#Update_010|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 PA Fragment [[Photon Arts]] - the focus of the update - were not added at all. Shortly following, Superfuzz [http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewtopic.php?t=20474 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. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 04:52, 9 February 2007 (CST)
 +
 
 +
====02/02/2007: Update 009====
 +
* The February 1st-2nd [[Updates#Update_009|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. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 05:10, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 +
 
 +
====01/26/2007: Game Update====
 +
* The January 25th-26th [[Updates#Update_008|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. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 05:10, 26 January 2007 (CST)
 +
 
 +
====01/19/2007: Update 007====
 +
* The January 18th-19th [[Updates#Update_007|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. - [[User:Miraglyth|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! - [[User:Kyodai Inkei|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! - [[User:Kyodai Inkei|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. - [[User:Kyodai Inkei|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? - [[User:Kyodai Inkei|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 [http://phantasystaruniverse.com/community_quests.php?item=20061215a here] that next week will bring a new story mission, along with even more S-Rank missions. - [[User:Segaholic2|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 [[events|event]], in the form of Christmas. For further information on the update's details check the [[Updates]] page. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 14:21, 9 December 2006 (PST)

  • In this update, the S2 difficulty was added to Demons Above, Moonlight Beast, Grove of Fanatics, Mizuraki Defense, and Desert Goliath.

To ease the loss of the limited-time party missions, the game has brought in an all-new party mission in its latest update. It has at last also added some new S2 difficulty missions, as well as some very long-awaited new clothes for Humans, Newmans and Beasts. - Miraglyth 20:40, 4 July 2007 (BST)

06/07/07: Operation Firebreak: Part 2!

  • In this update, Parum's purification efforts have received a significant boost in the form of two "urgent" missions. Unlike other missions these are on a strict time limit and as a novelty can actually be failed if the time runs out! In addition for the first time, the game has two new events at the same time. - Miraglyth 20:40, 4 July 2007 (BST)

The Mad Beasts [B] Meteor Cannon from Polavohra [B] Two-headed Ragnus from Go Vahra [B] Sweet Death from Gol Dolva [B] Storm Line from Badira [B] Halarod from Jarba

  • The update today just gives us two new party missions from C to S2 difficulty (though it's worth noting that the older two party missions have not had S2 difficulty added), along with a change in event from White Day to Easter. Which is unfortunately going to have to tide us over for another three weeks... - Miraglyth 09:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

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.

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.

Following that, on the update's completion (the maintenance only lasting about 150 minutes), players learned that the PA Fragment Photon Arts - the focus of the update - were not added at all.

02/02/2007: Update 009

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)

01/19/2007: 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)

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.

  • (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)
