    SETSUBUN 2013 Ogre Extermination
    From Granzella : Setsubun 2013 Ogre Extermination, kwoman32, Jan 29, 2013, 3:00 PM, YourPSHome.net, jpg, 00_setsubun2013_mainimage_eng.jpg
    Setsubun 2013, evil spirits that were sealed inside a bewitched sword have been unleashed and converted into ogres. Great Edo of Nippon is full of ogres! Come on, join the battle with a Metal Rod to defeat the ogres!

    Event time: January 30th, 2013 (after maintenance) to February 27th, 2013 (until the start of maintenance)

    Granzella Inc. is pleased to announce that the "Setsubun 2013 Ogre Extermination!" event in all regions. (The start day will vary by region.)

    "Setsubun 2013: Exterminate Ogres!” is a Japanese style sword fighting game staged in theEdo period of Japan. Players can customize their occupations such as armed warrior and Ninja, as well as their weapons and protective gears like swords and naginata upon taking on the mission to fight
    against the enemies.

    In addition, the service will allow players to participate in the battle with up to eight other players online in multi-game mode.


    This event is all about uniting players to save the town of Edo, which is now infested with evilOgres, by hunting them down. Once they successfully defeat the Orges, they will receive avariety of rewards that bring in luck to be exclusively available during this event.

    I am the Org hunter! Hunt down as many Ogres as possible and get a limited reward!

    When you successfully comlete the stage by defeating the Ogres, you will gain "Ogre
    Extermination Points". You will receive rewards that are only available during this event, such as Hannya Mask, Swimsuits with tiger pattern, and so on, according to the points you have gained in the battle.

    In addition, the Ogre Extermination Points you earn will be tallied up and posted on a ranking board that will be installed.

    If you are ranked among the top 1000, you will receive a reward after the event.
    These rewards are only available during the event in this lounge. The higher you rank in, the more rewards you will gain!

    New Weapons will be available to defeat dreadful Ogres roaming the town at night!

    New weapons "Iron club" and "Beans to drive away Ogres" -which are essential items to defeat Ogres -are now available!

    "Iron club" has both massive destructive power and great protection against Ogres. It is so heavy that it may be a bit difficult to handle but this item is very effective for defeating orges.

    Also, by throwing the beans from the distance you can stay away from the Ogres and attack them unilaterally. Moreover, there will be even more powerful weapons to come during the event.

    What is Setsubun?

    In Japan, we have the tradition to celebrate "Setsubun"--which literally means to "divide seasons"--on February 3rd every year.

    It is believed that evil spirits (=ogres) will surge when the season changes. This ritual ispracticed to drive them away by throwing beans.

      This is for JP:

      If you haven't traded your Muramasa sword from the old lady (the 3900 one), it will be gone after this maintenance, so you have less than 1 more day to get it.

      Not sure what that'll mean in other regions. Might not give it out after all.

          I know Hops and Jo will love the tiger clothing :)

          I might participate too. I like the big metal club. It reminds me of an anime I liked. Also might be fun to try the Yoyo with my Captain America suit in battle. Too bad there's no throwing shields in this game!

          LOL

                  I have been waiting for a change up to this space for a while so looking forward to this. Not holding much hope of getting the leaderboard rewards though.

                        you could tweet that idea to Granzella. They listen to customers. So if they think it will sell, you might get an LMO!
