Hollow Area bosses don't have LAB right?
Want to make sure before I leave the area.

Yup, look at the lines connecting to the Katana

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
You will have to go through the curved sword tree first and max the skill out at 1000.
2H Sword = 1H Sword up to 1000.

Its more end game content, you wouldnt want to go wandering around in it without a good understanding of the game and its mechanics first.
Along with building up various skills with skill point purchases. Just know that you will not have enough skill points to fully unlock everything so do a lot of checking ahead of time for what you want to purchase.
Grinding for weapon mastery is soo...tedious. I am on floor 81 now (just rushed the events and the floor bosses) but somehow the grind is too boring right now. Is there any faster way than casting skills which let you auto attack faster? All the DLC except the costume pack is not on the PSN right now (with whatever reason...).
Also I guess I will wait the two days for the patch so that the implement grind wont be that tedious anymore...

I found the best way to gain mastery is to do "just attacks"
When you do a burst Attack, you'll see a shine that circles into the player as he attacks. Just after it closes, press the burst attack button again to do a "just Attack". They do more damage as well, so a lil added bonus for all the Rhythm gamers out there I guess.

I have beaten the Hollow Area story section! I can finally get back to clearing Aincrad.
Can someone confirm this is indeed the case, I will be able to get the
events for the trophy that only appear before doing a certain Floor if Hollow Area is done?
No, to USE a weapon type, just find one and equip it.
However, if you want to level up the skill tree for that type, THEN you have to get whatever skill it's linked to.
For Katanas, you need to get Scimitars up to 1000 to be able to get LV1 Katana skills for example.

Got this today, played about an hour so far.
I'm assuming this is just a game where you learn as you go, the weird translations for the tutorials don't exactly help much with learning how all the mechanics work.

close enough, you need to clear the hollow storyline before doing floor 90 to get the
Philia

she kisses you (could be floor 92 or 93, visit Agil's inn while alone to try to get it to show up; your event list wont tell you when to go its kind of a secret event)

Alright, I just need the
kiss event
I finished Hollow Area before even doing Floor 89's boss to be sure, and got a few events when that was done.Parakeetman

implements are indeed a pain in the ass.and thats even if you take your time with the game too.

Was so excited to post the screens that I missed some info D:
Downloading now and my 4GB card has 43 MB left.

Does this update include Sinon's GGO outfit, or is that going to be a separate DLC?
EDIT: Been having a weird issue ever since I patched. I can't seem to get the affection rating to go up for any of the girls no matter how many times I max the enjoyment bar during conversation. The little pop up notification never appears so I can't move on to holding hands or the bridal carry for the quicker method of raising the approval bar to max it out.

USA here and the download isn't showing up when I hit the update button on vita =\
NM Resetting my vita fixed it.

Yeah sucks
I'm assuming it will go live when the store updates, which is disappointing as patches are typically independent to the store update.MillionStabs

Anyone know if the patch fixes the weird translation errors?

I think only HNM (which appear after an area is at level 3) have Last Attack Bonuses.

The actual patch notes are poorly translated! There is no hope.

Exactly this.
Played for a couple hours, aaaand... nope. Many, many phrases are poorly worded.

Just started playing. Maybe I missed something but how can you tell where you need to go? I know they say to ask your partner but she usually just shows me a random map.

For side quests or main story? Usually side quests are just on Floor 76 and main story is in the Hollow Area. You can also press the square button to see the "main event" or something. I assume thats the main story.

This was right at the start. When you end up going to the cave that they claim is your first dungeon. I was rather tired when I started this game so I probably missed some pointers. I just got lucky and found it randomly, tried a few other spots following that yellow pointer on the mini map and the girl kept telling me I was going the wrong way.
for clearing floors go to your guild tab in the menus and it will tell you what needs to be done before you fight a floor boss.
for the hollow area, no idea havent played any of it :S

press Square and then Event List to see your objective for the Hollow Storyline displayed @ the blue/green-ish exclamation mark. You need to be paired with Philia and in singleplayer to do these. Talk to ther for a map displaying the zones you need to go through to get to the objective area.
the Infinity Moment storyline is pretty linear, you just follow the areas and if you miss a point on the guild tab when youre at the floor boss you go back and look for the boss/quest you missed

Really hope that we get the update here in the EU within the next day or so, i've been holding back on playing this untill the update was out, but after seeing everyone talk about it with such praise i really dont want to wait anymore :']

Most of the content like the new dungeons and stuff is endgame/close to endgame, so it wouldn't hurt to start now.

Wow. I was just asking for this too. GGO Sinon and Kirito look great, I wish there was an Undine Asuna costume too though.

That's a different one, not sure what race she was then but I think she was just
"The Fairy Queen",
It's this one though, basically just her usual outfit with minor changes, but blue.. and I love blue. So I want this. :lol.
Well, patch changed one thing for the worst. Now if you're chatting with one of the girls and you press x after maxing the enjoyment bar to clear the talk time to speed things up it no longer counts as maxing the enjoyment bar. You have to let talk time run out itself.
Makes the affection grinding once they're level 4 even worse.

After extensive testing as far as just raising their affection level goes I don't think it matters whether you fill the bar or not. The bar just changes their mood so you can get bed scenes.
The only thing that seems to actually affect affection is whenever you see the orange music notes pop out of their heads. This includes praising them during battle, buying them food, etc. I maxed one of them in the middle of a chat (the trophy popped) after the bar was already full and some orange notes came out.
