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.
Oh c'mon Granzella, why you gonna come here and take all my money So glad to see we're getting Granzella events outside of Japan now, shame the leaderboard rewards will be won by people with way too much time on their hands.
Is the Boy's Day suit of armor limited in EU? If it is, I need to trade with someone for pounds right away.
you could tweet that idea to Granzella. They listen to customers. So if they think it will sell, you might get an LMO!
It rocks by using Metal Rod to kill the moster. Ok, I spend money for the rod. time to kick some ass.
Very cool update,I'm really lookin forward to hunting ogres,it's one game in Home i have not played very much yet,but I will now :wave::thumbsup:
