Happy New Year! It's been nearly two months since anything has been posted on this blog, but that's not without good reason. Since the last post on November 23, Phantasy Star Universe has seen a new party mission, a new story mission, and difficulty updates to The Egg Thieves and The Dark God.
A small patch to fix some bugs was also released in December.
Not much else has really happened, other than the GM-run Great Gurhalian Cup time attack competition. There hasn't been much true "new" mission content to hit the US/EU servers in the last few months.
It doesn't look like that will be changing within the next two months, either. GM Edward announced today on the official forums that the first event of 2010, Maximum Attack G+, will begin on January 29. This has been hotly anticipated by the US/EU community for some time now.
However, MAG+ isn't really itself new: think MAG with an additional difficulty level and some small new bonuses. There will be only one event mission (not counting the boss), as was the case the first (and second) time around. I understand that it will be a nice diversion from grinding the same old mission locales, at least for a little while. How long will the community's interest in this version last, though?
In any case, while I'd rather see Sega implement some other things (like the new "expansion" content -- minus the cash shop), it's nice to see that the US/EU community continues to get the content the Japanese got -- even if it is months/years later.
