https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/834395858363613225/1110807152475512832/image.png

The 2 new songs are Music 37, and 38. 37 is a Banger battle theme. 38 is a soft credits roll theme I think

Final Edit: Never had a clean shot of this guy yet big spoiler: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/834395858363613225/1110862509407223818/SPOILER_image.png

Elijah in Upper Jeuno (G-6) now grants voracious psyche as a reward for completing Peculiar Foes objectives in Records of Eminence, as long as you have fulfilled the following conditions.
Complete all the Peculiar Foe objectives at least once
Complete The Voracious Resurgence
Note: You may only obtain up to 5 voracious psyche per month.

hmm. well then.

reposting from the other thread. very curious how this will work, what it will do, etc.; could make the NMs weaker for easier solo/lowman, or it could make them stronger to allow them to drop stronger materials.

Think it was just a typo on early .dat mined instrument, had different song names on different stages so I know at least some people thought there was more than 1 song being introduced.

If you have stage 5, NMs will ***themselves and die as soon as you are in aggro range :D

Now jokes aside I think it will just alter they drop rate, nothing more. It's wrote like it's changing them more, but I think it's just weirdly written in SE style.

It made me slightly change my opinion about needing to buy the stones via muffins. Been thinking for a min now that depending on the stage it'll just force the NM to drop the specific stone you need for the stage you're on.

Only reason I think that's unlikely is because saying that it changes their behavior is pretty explicit. If it were only about their drops, they would likely have said that. For clarity, the JP side alludes to behavior as well as far as I can tell.

This is where the 6-month comment for Prime completion came from maybe? Depending on the amount required, this might be the time gate for primes.

NM's now have one(1) line of dialogue when aggroed by someone holding a stage two prime weapon! Enjoy everyone!

There's a good chance the bosses will be more difficult in addition to dropping the better materials. They'll probably get an Ilvl boost to make them harder to take down. We'll have to see if they get new mechanics or abilities. This is where the initial weaponskill wall bug (one eaponskill max every 10 seconds) gets reintroduced as an intended feature isn't it. I'm mostly not serious with that suggestion, but this is s-e. Anything is possible.

Oh holy hell. The prime weapons got a massive overhaul on their looks. There are a bunch of new dat files for them. They look amazing. I'll post a few pictures in a couple minutes.

In the interview (posted by you I think) Fujito referenced Sortie being limiting factor because it's time gated, so it's unlikely that Psyche will hold you back here.

I think that was just banter with the interviewer -- they sorta spoke vaguely about "end of the year" and then that led to six months, but he countered by saying some may finish earlier, so.

time will tell i guess

You need to remember Fujito said the process is soloable (and I doubt he meant some cheesy SCH strategies), so I doubt NMs will be harder. In fact they might be somehow debuffed to make it easier to solo.
