Phantasy Star Universe: Living on the Dole.

Phantasy Star Online was an open game. All you had to do was open the new difficulty levels and you'd see the whole game. The same can't be said for Phantasy Star Universe. The game shipped with over half its content locked away on the disc. SEGA will be unlocking bits here and there as a means of fulfilling the massively multiplayer online role-playing game illusion. The game shipped allowing us to run eight missions over two planets and the Guardians Colony. We were able to use C and B rank weapons and armor. Photon arts cap off at level twenty. Character levels cap off at level fifty. Type levels cap off at level ten. Three weeks into playing the game we received the first content update. The first content update opened up the universe by unlocking the third planet of Moatoob and adding another eight missions. We're still at the same level caps for character levels, photon arts, and types. That's fine by me as my main character still hasn't reached the level cap. He's three levels away. He's long since reached the type level cap however and his primary photon arts have reached twenty. I've been leveling secondary photon arts for his weapons. I've also been leveling my partner machinery and have her combat level up to twenty-four as of this entry. The next update will be a big one. One we've been waiting on. It will unlock the advanced types which bring with them the access to A rank weapons and armor and new weapon types and photon arts. Future updates will be upping the caps for character levels and photon arts. As well as adding in new photon arts, weapons, clothing, items, room decorations, remodeling tickets,  locations, missions, S rank missions, S rank weapons and armor, challenge mode, and story based missions. I personally have no problems with SEGA doling out the content like this but people seem to be throwing a fit over it. The only concern I have is that SEGA keep the content coming frequently. So far, based on the schedule of updates for the Japanese version of the game which is two months ahead of us, there have been numerous and constant updates. So we at least know a lot of content is coming our way. Now it's just a matter of waiting for it. Maybe I'll go see about hitting that character level cap...
