Square Enix has dropped a substantial new update for Star Ocean: The Second Story R, which released for PS5 and PS4 last year.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players seemingly can't platinum the game on the current patch, forcing any trophy hunters to revert to a previous update.

During the latest Campfire, Blizzard mentioned older versions of legendaries and uniques becoming «legacy items.» While this term may seem odd for players new to ARPGs, Legacy Items have some precedence in other ARPG games, so some players may know what to expect.

As with the Tier 2 armor set recolors also found in this update, the models do not appear associated with any items just yet though, leaving it unclear when, if, or how they might be obtained in the future. While these are all new entries into the item appearances database, some of them are not actually new recolors and appear to be identical to the original versions already available in the game. Others appear to be brand new or otherwise unused though, such as a one-handed version of Axe of the Gronn Lords that isn't currently available to players in-game or the odd Pistol Shot model added in Legion — let us know in the comments below if you spot anything else that stands out!

With the regained interest in completing Primal Storms due to the new A World Awoken meta-achievement, many players are finding themselves frustrated with a key component of this achievement, which requires them to complete Primal Storms in different Dragon Isles zones. The achievement in question is Storm Chaser, which is part of Into the Storm, which is part of Across the Isles, which is part of A World Awoken. This achievement, as we highlighted earlier this week, requires you to complete sixteen different Primal Storms, four different types of storms in the four original Dragonflight zones.

Aside from mods that just improve your performance, most are better saved for after you’ve reached the true ending, but no one is going to stop you if you’d rather start experimenting from the start.
