So that's in project diva f, and not in the arks lobby?

Yes that's in HER game not ours.

@Ricardo: darn, I was hoping for both, kinda like the opening movie in the shop area.

no no no. look at the CAST sets on the scan. "MAGIUS SERIES" and "ILLUSION SERIES". magius in particular, that hat I think is bigger than the one on the mage-themed set that's available at character creation, and that one's already comically oversized compared to the others.

addendum- numans getting stupid looking hats has been a PSO standard, anyway. the only time I can think of a newman/female/force who's actually called a "fonewearl" by anything NOT having such a hat was -one- of the options in PSzero. (a refreshing change of pace, but hey, here(PSO2) we can ditch on that stuff outright anyway.

Wow, that CAST headgear… I really hope that's just an accessory, heh. I can't imagine ever willingly putting something like that on my character's head.

@Zyrus – Well, with the right combination of parts and colors, you could become THE BISHOP OF DARKNESS!
Corny, I know, but hey, some people like them big.
Also, more Hatsune Miku madness. I can't understand why she's so popular. I haven't heard much of her, but what little I have sends a shock up my spine that makes me want to turn her off IMMEDIATELY! I don't even get 5 seconds into any of her songs before I go "AAAAAAAAAGH!" and my emergency shutoff switch hits like crazy.
Also, Tundra's boss is based off the Sil Dragon from PSO Ep1 VHard, is it?
So…. they ARE taking pages from the previous eras. Except, well, the Dragon's back where he belongs (Dragon being a Forest boss was kinda off – didn't really fit).

Well well, I like that illusion set for caseals, the magius set is hilarious though. Some sort of combination between stage magician and airline host (I blame the blue). And obviously… Dat hat. Poor casts, fleshy, mecha or super fancy hat.
I'm on the side of the people who like Hatsune Miku and don't see any problem with some minor crossover elements, more stuff for both games (maybe) and it's not like they are going to broadcast Miku songs in the arks lobby (that would be… interesting). People seem so stuck up these days.
As for the rest, well, I hope the area will be as interesting as the boss! Then again, floating islands in the sky, it -should- be interesting.

Hatsune Miku is awesome.
. . . wait . . that dragon has no arms . . . A DRAGON HAS TO HAVE ARMS!
nyaaa
July 26th, 2012 at 6:19 am
so how bout a humanoid dragon …that have arms right?
natchu96
July 26th, 2012 at 7:25 am
@nyaaa. So long as it has 2 arms, 2 legs, and wings. Which would mean a Humanoid with wings would qualify if it was a dragon. Wyverns are specifically classified traditionally to have only wings and legs, but no arms (giving them 4 total limbs instead of 6).
PSO Dragon was annoying for me, needless to say. At least PS0's was just named Reyburn, or something like that.

That Floating Continent stage sure does look familiar… Are we going to get attacked by 15 foot tall blue people with bows and arrows?

@Above – What are you talking about? Clarify, monsieur.

Sorry for double post, but…. Just what about Hatsune Miku is so awesome? I still haven't had that question answered. I mean, I'm not entirely bashing her for her fanbase, I just want to know what they see in her that's so attractive? I mean, she's just like everything else that Japan pumps out, right? Overbearingly cute, a pop idol – what does she do DIFFERENTLY (compared to everything else in Japan) that no other character does that gave her such overbearing popularity?
The LAST thing I want is some weeaboo worthy, unnecessary Shana clone that does nothing but spam "Shut up" and beat on the male lead. Seriously, this feminist approach from Japan has GOT to stop. Until they start making men a little more appreciated, then my dislike of anime culture will exclusively be on how they overglorify women to the point where it becomes overbearingly abhorrent.

People have different tastes in things. I personally like her because of the music that artists make featuring her. I don't like her because of her appearance, but for the unique voice she has and the lyrics that the artists give her to sing. It is really something that a voice synthesizer beats most pop singers. The only thing I have to say to you is, you probably have different tastes in music, or just don't like her voice. Everyone has things they like and dislike. For me, I hate some of the songs she's featured in. I also like some.
What it all comes down to is a matter of taste.

I dont know if this is the reason miku is so popular, its my reason for liking her, but its her music. shes got some really great music, and remember vocaloid is a program, so anyone can make miku hatsune music. in my mind Miku is a collective of musical and artistic talent from all over the world and many of those people might not have other ways of expressing there artistic side, so when you see it like that mikus quite amazing. not to mention she seems to be a pioneer of sorts for the future. alot of people see her and can see a future filled with AIs and extremely high tech computers. Mikus not just a singer that seems like everything else from japan, shes a possible sign of the future. Not to mention idk if this was a rumor or not but wasnt she considered a possible singer for the olympics at one time?

The whole vocaloid thing is popular because it's music/song making software. It's specially made for those who wouldn't last 2 minutes on american idol, (just kidding). Miku herself is popular because, well because you done answered your own question, is a cute character. She's also a cute character who sings song of the people using said software. Now then about the rest of your post:
"The LAST thing I want is some weeaboo worthy, unnecessary Shana clone that does nothing but spam “Shut up” and beat on the male lead."
Sounds like you need to stay away from anime like Shakugan no Shana, Zero no Tsukaina and toradora. Or just stay away from any anime where Rie Kugumyia is the female lead. Not saying all her leads are bad, but of the palette swap lolita-esque characters she's done then to get rage inducing after a while. Then again one could say the same about the whole "tsundere" archetype in general as very few tend to be well done. Also:
"Seriously, this feminist approach from Japan has GOT to stop. Until they start making men a little more appreciated, then my dislike of anime culture will exclusively be on how they overglorify women to the point where it becomes overbearingly abhorrent."
Stop watching harem anime, watch more hentai. Problem solved.
