The new Casino Area has a theme park-like atmosphere. It will first have two different kinds of games, "Mesetan Shooter" and "Rappy Slot." Every day you'll receive a "Coin Pass" which you can use to redeem a random amount of Casino Coins. Each game has fluctuating advantages/disadvantages based on its difficulty.
Rappy Slot is a single player slot machine game. Similar to Just Attacks, the game encourages you to press buttons at the right moments. When the singing rappies are together, a [RaPSEBURST] will occur.
You can play Mesetan Shooter, which is a multiplayer game that supports up to 4 players. You can earn coins by shooting at the targets. Various characters will appear during the mini-game. Achieving a PSE Burst increases the chances that a rare Mesetan will appear, giving you the prospect of earning even more coins! However, if you shoot Mr. Umblla, you'll lose coins.
You can exchange coins for various items at the Prize Counter like Weapon Camos and Rare Enemy Triggers. Rare Enemy Triggers lets you encounter a rare enemy at Area 1 in a quest.
In addition, in the Casino, there are balloons you can use to fly through the air. You could think of this Casino like an oasis for players who are tired of fighting enemies.
In late July, part 1 of the "Phantasy Star Festa: Volume 2" update will be kicking off with a new limited quest. It's an all star quest that takes place in the Ruins. It features level 70 bosses with increased chances that some of them will appear at the same time.
Here you can expect to see "Shining Force Cross Exlesia" boss [Knight Gear], with its rare counterpart [Knight Mage Knight Gear]. You might even see three [Knight Gears] appearing at the same time.
There are some changes coming to AC Scratch in the upcoming weeks. AC Scratch Gold will now feature sets for costume, accessory, hairstyle, weapon camo, and cast parts. This should be arriving around part 3 of the "Phantasy Star Festa: Volume 1" update.
In addition, during the time of the Hatsune Miku collaboration, they will add a female voice in the "Hakaka" dialect.
