AOTI update second (「イルミナスの野望」アップデート2nd) is a continuation of the supplemental update. While it will add many new items to the game, it will also introduce a wide variety of system updates and changes to how certain existing features work.
Contents
New items
As before, a massive number of new items will be added over time. These will include weapons, clothes, parts and hairstyles from other Phantasy Star titles, such as Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Phantasy Star Zero, as well as items that are completely new to the series.
Title system
The highly-popular title system from the Phantasy Star Portable series will make its debut in Ambition of the Illuminus. By reaching specific predetermined goals (such as defeating large quantities of enemies or playing for a certain amount of time), you will earn titles as well as unique items that cannot be obtained elsewhere for your achievements.
Daily stamp
A special NPC will be added to the Resident Security Department on Clyez City 3F where you can go each day to collect what is known as a daily stamp. After collecting enough of these stamps, you will be able to exchange them for special items as well as play the stamp gacha for chances at even more items! Once a day, premium course players will receive five stamps when they visit the RSD NPC for their stamp; free course players will receive only one stamp per day.
Mission acceptance improvements
Previously, in order to reach other missions not accessible from each city's main lobby, you were required to travel to various mid-point lobbies to access specific mission counters. With this update however, all missions found in these mid-point lobbies will be made accessible from their respective planet's GUARDIANS Branch (and in the case of the GUARDIANS Colony, these missions can be accessed from GUARDIANS HQ).
New GUARDIANS Cash uses
A few new GUARDIANS Cash-related services will be introduced.
- GC Gacha will give you a chance at obtaining unique and rare items from a random lottery.
- Service coupons will be introduced as a type of currency earned by spending GUARDIANS Cash. Each time you spend any GC for a mission or other service, 20% of that total will be transferred into a service coupon bank. These coupons can then be used to exchange for unique items in a special exchange mission. Exchanges will include items that will allow for bonuses such as temporary boosts to EXP payout and drop rates.
Free course
Free course will allow players to enjoy Ambition of the Illuminus without having to pay a monthly fee. With no restriction on character level or playing time, free course players will have access to all free missions as well as most other missions. They will also be able to utilize GUARDIANS Cash to partake in the services it has to offer. However, the following restrictions will be in place for free course:
- No access to your room and all related functions, including...
- Partner machine functions (item synthesis, storage, remodeling, etc.)
- Common box storage
- Player shops
- Trading items with premium course players is not allowed.
- GUARDIANS advanced style will not be available to free course players.
- Vol Coins cannot be collected.
- Daily stamp collection is reduced from five stamps to one stamp per day.
- Side story missions cannot be played under free course.
Premium course
Previously the only way to play the game, premium course will take over as the paid subscription (GUARDIANS License) service. With none of the restrictions of free course, premium course players will have full access to the game and all it has to offer!
