Revision as of 17:24, 9 December 2006

As Phantasy Star Universe's Network Mode is essentially a mass-multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG), it's not hugely surprising that from time to time it shall receive game updates and content additions.

This page is to list the state of the game's Network Mode as of specific dates, and record the history of what each update achieved. As the game grows in the number of updates (hence, the amount of content) it may become necessary to split details of each update (or each month's worth of) into separate sub-articles.

Initial State

Unlike the other sections, this one makes note of how the game was before any updates were added.

Date: From 24th of October release (arguably midnight PST) to 16th of November maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:45 on the 17th).

Flight Destinations

Unlike all updates following the game's initial state, Network Mode did not allow access to the planet Moatoob in it's initial state. It had the following planets, each with the one specified city and the following flight destinations (when leaving your "My Room"):

Planet City Destination
GUARDIANS Colony Clyez City 1st Floor: Central Table
2nd Floor: Shopping Mall A
3rd Floor: Shopping Mall B
4th Floor: PPT Spaceport
5th Floor: GUARDIANS HQ
Your Room
Parum Holtes City Central Square
East District
West District
GRM Shop
GUARDIANS Branch
Neudaiz Ohtoku City Central District
Yohmei Shop
GUARDIANS Branch

Types

The three "basic" types (the classic trio from Phantasy Star Online) were the only possible GUARDIAN types on the game's launch:

Hunter Ranger Force

Level Cap

On the game's release, GUARDIANS could reach a maximum level of 50 before they stopped gaining experience points.

Missions

The following missions were available:

Mission Ranks Start Area Mission Counter Destination

Update 001

Date: From 16th of November maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:45 on the 17th) to 7th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 8th).

Flight Destinations

Access to the planet Moatoob was added in this update, adding three new flight destinations to the game on leaving "My Room":

Planet City Destination
Moatoob Dagora City Central District
TENORA WORKS Shop
GUARDIANS Branch

Missions

New missions were added to all three planets.

Mission Ranks Start Location Mission Counter Destination
The Mad Beasts CBA Raffon Meadow: Lakeshore Park Underwater Plant Area Underwater Plant: Temporary Base
Lab Recovery CBA Underwater Plant: Temporary Base Raffon Meadow Area Raffon Meadow: Lakeshore Park
Endrum Remnants CBA Underwater Plant: Temporary Base Old Mellvore City Area Lake Denes

Desert Terror CBA West Kugu Desert: Field Base Galenigare Tunnel Area Galenigare Tunnels: Underground Lake

Other Changes

  • Players have discovered that the Partner Machinery GH-450 now has issues switching weapons. Allegedly despite the switching animation and noise, the weapon remains the same and as such the PM now no longer heals, among other things.
  • As of this update there have been numerous complaints about the PC version of the game experiencing mysterious periods of slowdown, mostly during Parum and Neudaiz missions. Some players have noted that this also occurred in the first JP update, though the immediate update after that fixed the issue. It is believed to be related to texture changes somehow.
  • Prior to this patch, it has been reported that Hunters on the Xbox 360 version had incorrect stat calculations, making them level-for-level better off than their PC/PS2 counterparts and disproportionately more effective than Xbox 360 Rangers and Forces. This has been addressed in this patch, causing a large amount of unwarranted complaint from Xbox 360 Hunters.

Update 002

Date: From 7th of December maintenance (from 23:00 to 04:00 on the 8th) to Present.

Types

Seven "expert" types were added in this update, a selection of three hybrid types, three specialist types, and one "experimental" type.

Fighgunner Guntecher Wartecher
Fortefighter Fortegunner Fortetecher
Protranser

Level Cap

This update raised the maximum level cap of GUARDIANS to level 60 before they stopped gaining experience points.

Missions

No all-new missions were added, but two missions were given S-Rank difficulty.

Mission Ranks Start Area Mission Counter Destination
Unsafe Passage S Clyez City: 4th Floor Linear Line Platform Linear Line: Transfer Terminal
Fight For Food S Linear Line: Transfer Terminal Aurorey Plaza Area Linear Line: Aural Observatory

Story Missions

The first of a new series of story missions (obstensibly named "Episode 2" as it is set after the offline Story Mode) was introduced with this update.

This mission is titled "The Mask", is initiated from Clyez City 5th Floor: GUARDIANS HQ, and appears to be freely repeatable.

Other Changes

  • This update was carried out entirely server-side, thus PC users did not receive a patch download for this update.
  • As there was no patch download, previous client-side issues (most notably the texture/slowdown issue from Update 001) have yet to be resolved.
