My type 1 CAST in PSO2 New Genesis looks up during a three-point landing in Stia’s Dreisen Plant. He’s green and gold with glowing red eyes and a big booster on the side of his leg.

Released patches for House of the Dead on Saturn; in the process of making the "activate red blood" patch, I discovered a hidden Japanese mode! Now the JPN version can be played with the three blood colors that are absent from both revisions of its retail release :)

CASTs look cool, even when doing quick quests for easy treasure scratch tickets.

My gold and green type 1 CAST strikes a dramatic pose holding a pair of soaring blades with red triangular weapon camos applied to them. He’s in the purple surroundings of the Ordinal Tower.
