Weekly Pangya Update #43

Here comes more bonus offers on Gacha to spend your money on! At least they are being reasonable that your spendings will carry over from October 5th rather than starting on the date this offer came in.


Global has revealed their release date for Wiz City on November 9th. Lots of events will be held before and after the course's release date.

Features

Magic Carpet

When your comet ball bounces on top of the carpet, the ball will continue to bounce until it reaches solid ground. Within the carpet's path contains both PP Coins and Spin Cube that you can collect. However, there's a chance where if it bounces too much, it'll eventually start to roll instead and come to a complete stop. The ball property will be 95% when shooting from the Magic Carpet spot.

Wiz City Sneakpeek & Future Contents

The Pangya Party held at Bellesalle Akihabara, Japan broadcasted their live performance on Nicovideo and Ustream around the afternoon on October 22nd. The event contained many different segments including 5 vs. 5 tournament, interviews, talk of future contents, Wiz City, and two new trailers.


I do have live footage recorded from their low-quality Ustream channel. Rather than showing a full 4-5 hour clip, I'm breaking it down to show only the best parts that matters to us, the new trailers and Wiz City in action.

Weekly Pangya Update #42

Just when you thought your odds couldn't get any worse for these gloves. If you are looking forward to Nell's Black Pepper Outfit and Soul Reapers Clubset, you'll have to make your way through the Platinum Gloves that will get in your way. The Black Pepper Outfit is a late Gacha rare that didn't make it last year in October since Nell wasn't released at the time compared to other servers.


If you want another recolored version of Pepper's clubset that was almost free during the event, then by all means spend that $40 on something like their new Gacha promo that they released in timing with this offer. Although this clubs's new Pangya logo will appear for any character you use compared to the regular Pepper's clubs that only shows a new Pangya logo for Nell.

Weekly Pangya Update #41

No server maintenance this week, but they can sneak in Halloween outfits in the shop again. Do note that the Bewitching outfits is an old Gacha rare that was first introduced on other servers in the year 2008. Just like before, the shop will only carry the purple color version since the other color option could be changed to orange on Cadie's cauldron. Global server be excluded from this feature because it isn't Gacha. That's their rule. I wasn't expecting another revisited Halloween event again anyways.

Atelier Totori Review

Once I got my hands on Atelier Totori, my social life was pretty much bleak at this point. Everything that I wanted from a JRPG was in my possession that I devoted most of my time on the game. My first Atelier game was the first one that was released for the Playstation 2, so I was still fairly new to the series.

Actually, it was thanks to Totori that got me into their Playstation 3 lineup when it was released last year for the Japanese version. After giving Atelier Rorona a try this year, I was instantly hooked. So I was highly looking forward to Totori's release date with much anticipation, and the next sequel delivered it a whole lot better than the first game with so many vast improvements.

Atelier Totori OST

Seeing how I was impressed with the music score from Atelier Rorona, Totori delivers my expectations with more positive results than the first game. The music director has improved the music image of the fantasy world of Arland. It seems most of the songs are heavily focused on instruments that sounds very passionate along with a grand orchestra playing in the process. Since I'm playing the game now, I was able to appreciate the songs selection a lot more than before. There are some songs from Atelier Rorona heard from the game too, but this will be concentrated on Totori's new track lists.

Weekly Pangya Update #40

I wasn't surprised that they didn't add any bonuses for playing on this set. I do get the feeling the company will play around with this set by throwing in special offers later on so if you are in no rush, I'd say wait and see what they plan to do. As for me, I don't see this as being fair to keep tempering with the lottery system this way if that's what they are planning to do.


The reading glasses will be replacing the visors which both have the same stats of curve +10. I really thought they would bring in those privacy films instead. As most people would agree, this is my favorite +10 curve glasses compared to illusion specs and visors.
