New map coming later this month:
http://bumped.org/psublog/phantasy-s...2-mines-level/
Looks fucking badass. Dat battleship boss.

Edit: Apparently SEGA announced there was gonna be 3 new classes too (so no subclass system I guess). Can't be fucked looking for source, so take with a grain of salt. Prob gonna be hybrid classes (Melee + Ranged, Melee + Tech, Ranged + Tech).

Double Edit!: From /vg/ thread:

Mid July: 'Large Mechanical Battleship’s Awakening' new field (mines) + enemies, bosses, drops, orders, and emergency codes

sometime during summer: new scratchcard with accompanying new cosmetics/voices/etc. and the 'Soaring Crystal Dragon' update which includes a new field/enemy/bosses/etc., the next story quest, and 'event lobby'... whatever that means.

Fall: this is the big one everyone wants. 3 new classes (popular theory: hybrid classes), 5 new weapon categories (probably including fists), new PAs and techs, very hard mode, level cap moved up to 50, 'rare' enemies and bosses (special emergency code only maybe?), a new emergency code, a new shipwide emergency mission, and the next story quest

Mid Fall: another new field, next story quest, a new 'system update' (whatever that means), more pretty dress up stuffs, and another event lobby...thing.

Winter: smartphone version for you iFags, 'gigantic boss', new field, new system update, new event lobby, and even MORE pretty dress up stuff.

spring: vita version assuming someone out there still wants to go outside after playing this for a year

Holy crap, tons of content coming really quick. I'm very happy with this info.

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-07-05 23:07

iFags, wow. Sounds cool though! Holding off on buying AC in hopes of english something be it patch or full translation.

That's /vg/ for you, lol. Also wow, I think I've really been underestimating Gunslash:

Shame my framerate dropping constantly wouldn't allow me to pull some of this shit off consistently.

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-07-05 23:32

Yar dem be the 2 skills I use on my botched soon to become pointless force-paladin lol
Grenade especially seems overpowered sometimes. I always think since im a gimped force and still killing stuff in 1 PA, then it would probably be insane on a hunter or something.

Ooookaaaaay... so, someone mind explaining how you even so much as Register for Bitcash, let alone make a payment with it? I've been racking my brain and combing their website for the past hour and their site just makes no sense to me. I swear, it was put together by a monkey.

**Kiarax** · 2012-07-08 16:30

I don't believe anyone here has actually used it (yet?), those of us here who actually bought AC just did it directly with CC. You'd have better luck searching or making a thread on PSO-World to see if anyone has done it that way. There seemed to be quite a few people hoping there was a Paypal option, so hopefully someone has made a guide of some kind to help people purchase it through there.

**darkepyon** · 2012-07-08 18:58

I bought mine directly and for some reason my bank said "orz" and froze my card. I guess because I haven't bought anything directly from outside the country in a while. Had to phone my bank and tell them it was legit. Still got the goods though.

**Kiarax** · 2012-07-08 19:13

Same thing happened to 2 others I know. Transaction went through but they locked card after.

**Scythiroth** · 2012-07-08 23:14

I know the servers are down, but is there a guild available to join when they are back up or next time someone is on to invite me? I think I saw it mentioned before, but wasn't playing at the time. My friends are too hesitant to join until there is some sort of English patch available and I'm just looking for some people to play with. Not a very high level yet though, only 19 (kinda stuck on progressing, S-ranking the dragon mission in 20 minutes is such a pain x.x).

**Kiarax** · 2012-07-08 23:25

Yeah, we have a guild up with I think 21 people now (though a few people already inactive, lol), most of the people in here should be able to invite others now so someone should be able to catch you.

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-07-09 00:40

Locking down servers left and right, lame.

Ship 2? I'll have to find someone when they come back up if I'm still awake.

**Kiarax** · 2012-07-09 01:33

Yes indeed, we don't really have a specific block we hang out on but if you post here saying where you are someone will hopefully be able to come get you.

2013?

Really hope we get all the updates that were announced and they keep it up to date. At least it was officially announced though, I was getting worried lol.

**Chrian** · 2012-07-09 01:41

now I dont mind playing in japanese because by the time that the na release comes around I'll probably be max level and good stuff. How do you all feel about it?

**Scythiroth** · 2012-07-09 01:49

I'm going to keep playing the JP version, at least now I don't have to worry as much about messing up my Skill Tree or Mag. >.>

**Scythiroth** · 2012-07-09 02:33

If anyone is available to invite me, character's name is Syaoran, I'm in Block 30 of Ship 2, pretty much in the middle of the lobby's first floor between the quest counters.

edit: I really have no idea how to accept or where the menu would even be for it, haven't messed around with any chat/team options yet lol.
