Maintenance Contents:
Items for the following campaigns have been distributed through the Visiphone.
On September 4th, the third Lilipa area will go live! This exciting new field features a sort of abandoned mining facility with machines buried and scattered in the Lilipan sands. With precious water in the middle of the desert, comes a colony built by the Lilipans filled with tents, monuments, and random junk.
This field has special teleporters that connect two distinct areas, so you can instantly travel and see the remains of the forgotten "Lillipan Technology."
ブリュー・リンガーダ (Blu Ringahda)
Blu Ringahda is a bird centaur that can unleash ferocious attacks with its two gigantic rings.
ヴァーダーソーマ (Varder Soma)
Big Varder returns in its flight form unleashing attacks through its missiles, cannons, and laser beams!
バルバリリーパ (Barbarillipan)
Barbarillipan is a lillipan who transformed into a huge hulking beast that uses junk from its backpack to attack its enemies. Occasionally, a recovery pod might find its way in there.
Moonlight Bunny Scratch
Coming: September 4th!
New costumes will be available in time for the Moon-viewing festival! Players can dress up in the sexy yet alluring "Bunny Suit," or run around in the smiling "Otsukimi Lillipa Suit!" Partner Machinery costumes from Phantasy Star Universe will also be available for you and your support partner.
