New Story Quests

Lillipas know their way around..

The Matter Board has expanded to include Chapter 5 and Chapter 6! You’ll head to Planet Lillipa’s Subterranean Tunnels, and Planet Amduscia’s Floating Continent to complete some requests sent from the swordsmith Jig.

In Chapter 5 you are searching for another piece of that mysterious weapon you found in previous chapters. With the help of some information, you head down into the subterranean tunnels on Planet Lillipa. However, navigating this facility is going to be a bit complicated as it’s almost maze-like in preventing intruders.

In Chapter 6, you are again searching for another piece of the mysterious weapon. With the help of some information, you head to the Floating Continent on Planet Amduscia. Naturally, the dragonkin oppose invaders. One way or another, they’ll have to let their guard down…

 Character Creation Prizes

Back in April, Sega held a Character Creation contest for PSO2. The grand prize winner would have their very own character in the game. Today, Sega has revealed the other prizes for those that won the second and third place.

The other day the grand prize winner’s character, “mw” not only got their character “Micheala” into the game, they also received an autograph from Sakai as well as this PSO2 development team’s Staff Hoodie!

PSO2 Staff Hoodie!

The second place winner won the Producer Prize where their character would be transformed into a real-life 3d model. This model was created through a process called 3D printing. Overall it’s 20cm high.

The third place winner won the Arks Prize. PSO2 Art Director “Mizuno” drew a portrait of the third place winner’s character.
