YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED ROOM!
What does your room look like?
Ambition of the Illuminus takes the My Room from Phantasy Star Universe and expands on every single element. Rooms that used to be solely for displaying trophies or wallpapers are transformed into full living spaces! Along with many types of new room decoration themes, and over 200 new room decoration items, there are new systems for moving your room to different planets, new shop search functionality, a new bulletin board, and new jukebox features.
Read about the changes you can expect from the all new expansion, and learn about how you can completely customize your room experience like never before!
New Layout and Placement Grid
The new item placement grid gives you the freedom to place items in any way you like. Along with more floor space to arrange your furniture and large trophy items, there are wall spaces for posters and banners and counter spaces for smaller items. Many tables and cabinets will allow you to place small items on top or inside of them for better display of your item collection.
New Room Remodeling Themes
Whether futuristic or classical, there are many ways to add high style to your living quarters. There are also new themes that can transform your room into a private gym or café. Many of the themes have extra features such as unique ceiling displays, built-in fixtures, or even an extra room. Your shop will also now change along with your room, and includes a few spaces for item placement.
Relocate to the Planet of your Choice
While you may feel at home with the view of space from the residential block of the GUARDIANS Colony, the GUARDIANS will now let you move into the living quarters of the Branches located on each planet. Not only will you change the scenery outside your windows but you will be able to enter and exit your room closer to your favorite missions.
New Shop Search Features
Searching for the best deal in player shops is now a breeze with the ability to search by price or rarity. You can also view prices and item details without leaving your room.
Bulletin Board
You will be able to use the video phone to leave messages for the owner of the rooms you visit.
New information will be flagged with an exclamation point to alert you to news updates.
Decoration Items
Along with many new styles of furniture upon which you can place items or use for sitting, there are other items that are interactive and give characters special animations when activated. You can also now place items in other characters' rooms, but once you do you can not pick them back up. This is a great way to deliver a gift box with an item inside to a friend.
Partner Machinery
Using a new upgrade, the Nanotransformer X, you can increase the storage capacity of your Partner Machine. There are also new upgrades that will allow you to change battle-experienced partner machines to male-type models. In addition, your Partner Machine will now greet shop visitors with a custom message as they enter your shop and make purchases.
Jukebox
Now you can set the background music to accompany your room theme, or just change it whenever you are in the mood for something new. You can find a few discs as prizes in the Casino and new music will become available in upcoming releases.
Changes to Synthesis
Synthesis success rates have been increased, especially for items requiring rare ingredients. While failure is still possible, there is a much better chance a failed synthesis will produce an unusual or rare material or item. Striking weapons and armor will also have a better chance to receive a high elemental attribute.
MY ROOM BASICS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
While a lot has changed under Ambition of the Illuminus, the core components of the My Room feature are still very extensive. Players can do a lot with their personal space, such as interact with their Partner Machinery to synthesize items and gear, or dress the room up with a custom look and feel.
Take a look at what made the My Room special and learn more about this feature that makes the Phantasy Star Universe experience so unique.
Decorating your room
Your room starts out somewhat plain, but you can accent it with decorations, or you can remodel it to make it your own personalized room. You can also use a remodeling ticket to change the entire look and feel of your room. Be on the lookout for limited edition seasonal themes and items!
Common Storage
In Phantasy Star Universe, a single online account can store up to four created characters. Each character will have their own room and Partner Machinery. In each room, there will be a common storage box, and by placing an item in the Common Box, all characters on that account will be able to access that item.
Vision Phone
In the player's room, there's an information terminal called the "Photon Wave Communication Device," or more commonly, the "Vision Phone." Be sure to check your phone when you want to move to other player's rooms, search for shops, and check to see who has visited your room.
Changing Clothes
By changing clothes, your character will be able to display its individuality. You can change clothes at the clothing shop in each city, as well as the dressing room inside your room. (In your room, you can only put on clothes that you've already purchased.)
Partner Machinery: A Guardian's Best Friend
Every Guardian who graduates from training school is given their own personal Partner Machinery. The Partner Machinery can keep items and will provide information for missions. When you give them particular ingredients that you've gathered, they are also able to manufacture items.
Evolution of Partner Machines
Items and weapons you receive can be given to your Partner Machine, and in doing so they can be broken down and fused to your machine to help them evolve. If your partner machine evolves to a certain point, it can even come with you on your missions.
Item Synthesis
While fighting through the various missions within Gurhal, players will find different items or weapons that can be synthesized with the Partner Machinery. These weapons, armors, and items offer a unique level of customization by allowing players to build in specific attributes for better performance.
