leCiel Exploration

This is a progressive quest where players bound together to clear each sector, setting it apart from previously released Leciel Exploration Quests.

The ability buff system has been revamped as different effects are presented for each player.

Leciel Exploration has always been a big hit with players, but it's been a year and a half since it's been released. Therefore they felt the original ruleset might limit future updates. This is why they decided to update the quest into a new type of Leciel Exploration with overhauled progress and ability enhancement systems. Also to make these changes feel more tangible, they've made the battles more fun than ever with Ruine Masquerader appearing outside Extra Duel along with other surprises.

After a limited-time run of this new Leciel Exploration, they plan to bring back the original version, so fans of the previous version don't need to worry.

Legendary Rarity

Until now, Rarity has been indicated via Stars, but now we're introducing a new kind of rarity: Legendary.

Legendary weapons boast two traits, support effects, and designs inspired by legendary weapons from previous series iterations, including PSO2.

The new Legendios series, its appearance and potentials are based on the PSO2 Phobos series.

After a certain amount of time has passed from the initial release of Legendary weapons, they plan to make the items enhanceable by way of upgrades or new potentials at least once so that they can be put back into action.

Since implementation of these weapons coincide with buffs to equipment and attack power across the board, there will be a slight delay before this happens, but they adopted this approach in consideration of the equipment support effects.

They plan to still release star rarity weapons, including 13 stars, in the future.

Halpha Super Origin Festival

They've held 10-a-day free SG Scratch every anniversary, but this year it gets a huge power up. There hasn't been a significant update to the lineup since the 2023 Super Genesis Festival until now. They've added new exclusive items including Hairstyles based on Kanui and Pharia's looks from the Anniv main visual and a motion change item that recreates the Rappy Omurice Pose.

Also the number of draws you can do during the campaign period has been cranked up to 300.

They plan to add more items to scratch ticket lineup for future anniversaries as well.

Could We Get variations of existing hairstyles that swap the main color and sub colors so that we can change hair colors using the Looks menu.

In response to player requests, they are considering making versions of existing hairstyles that switch the Color 1 and Color 2. Please sit tight until this is implemented.

Could an Abandon Quest Button be Added to the Incapacitation Menu?

You have to board M.A.R.S. when fighting Dark Falz Vael during the Emergency Quest, but I want to fight it with my upgraded equipment and best moves. Can we fight Vael without using M.A.R.S.?
