[@Pikaboi]

00:23 - We're ARKS! 05:28 - Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! [We're ARKS! Lyrics] Raise your heads up high! Stand tall to the sky! It's time to make a move! Transcending space and time, steady going, full speed ahead An unwritten story unfolding, awaiting us to fill the pages Follow the rhythm of your heart, take a leap, into the future, dive in Sprinting past the starry lit gates, a new beginning, off onto a great adventure When your spirits are down and the tension's high, crushed and defeated inside Be strong! We're all by your side, together we ride, oh Photons ignite, light up the sky! Here we go now! Hand in hand, we tread the path - Ready, Set, Go! Hand in hand, ours at last - Ready, Set, Go! Straight into the endless cosmic sea, starry eyed Plummeting into the ground, Fighting Dreamer Rise again, buckle down, Sailing Together They'll never take us out, stand strong 'cuz We're ARKS! Tears of yore overflowing into our brilliant future, Hurry up One by one our dreams uniting us, we stand together, just spread your wings and fly high The spark of passion from within, shining brightly together now, Jump up! Our hearts are intertwined, arise, awaken! Invincible! Our Power Frozen before our blinding goal, afraid, on edge, the unknown Be strong! The raging winds, ever unyielding Will valiantly carry us through Here we go now! Hand in hand, we tread the path - Ready, Set, Go! Hand in hand, ours at last - Ready, Set, Go! Straight into the endless cosmic sea, starry eyed Plummeting into the ground, Fighting Dreamer Rise again, buckle down, Sailing Together They'll never take us out, stand strong 'cuz We're ARKS! Hand in hand, we tread the path - Ready, Set, Go! Hand in hand, ours at last - Ready, Set, Go! Straight into the endless cosmic sea, starry eyed Plummeting into the ground, Fighting Dreamer Rise again, buckle down, Sailing Together They'll never take us out, stand strong 'cuz We're ARKS! [Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! Lyrics] R•A•R•E•D•R•O•P Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! Yeah!!! Just shake it! Just shake it! Just let the healing rhythm guide your cadent sways (Sore sore sore!) Just shake it! Just shake it! Just move your body and embrace the burning beat, ablaze (Let's Dance) Just shake it! Just shake it! Just let loose and forget your doubts and fears (Sore sore sore!) Just shake it! Just shake it! Party all night long! (Hai! Hai! High! High! High! High!) Rappy☆ With all of our strength now Lucky☆ All our wishes come true Photons lighting up the sky, pulsating to the rhythmic vibes Phantasy Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! Stars upon stars, all in a row! More Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! I want them all, it's never enough Phantasy Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! I know all of our dreams are right in our grasp, believe Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! The vibrant rainbow so close within our reach.....PSO2! When I laid eyes on you, your true colors Entranced and intrigued by the crimson box Checked with my comrades, taken aback, exquisite treasure right in my hands Take up arms and you will see, tearing down your enemies Even now, I hear it beckoning, alluring treasure, come to me Just shake it! Just shake it! Oh the Oracle, so astonishing (Sore sore sore!) Just shake it! Just shake it! Oh please grace us with a miraculous lucky break! (Get Down) Just shake it! Just shake it! I'll never stop until I have you all to me! (Sore sore sore!) Just shake it! Just shake it! Let loose and rock all night long! (Hai! Hai! High! High! High! High!) Lili-☆ Spinning, spinning, round and round! Real me☆ Dizzy, dizzy playground Throughout the endless battles, I'll stand my ground until the very end! Phantasy Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! Stars upon stars, all in a row! More Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI! I want them all, it's never enough Phantasy Star! Star! Rare Drop☆KOI☆KOI!

Man i'll never forget the good times i had with everyone in my alliance. It was always an event for me when i logged on. Hell of a time in discord too. I'll always have a place in my heart for pso2 and for any of you loxpin players reading this. I love the lot of you. You guys made it worth no life-ing this game

[@primrose6794]

I had way too much fun when I see one of these. An absolutely amazing way to keep morale high.

[@Zarozian]

Same here. Made great memories. This is what NGS lacks. It's lacking a lot of stuff badly.

[@primrose6794]

Well, I think NG is fine for now. Future updates may fix this issue, or at least that's what I hope anyway.

[@TheArchangelgabrial]

This takes a much darker tone when you realize these dance concerts are probably just a way to stay in shape while also possibly having one last bit of fun before holding your dying comrade in your arms on the bleak battlefield.

[@chandlerprunty]

Yep. They're basically just a form of military entertainment.

[@nocturnalscotsman]

lol yeah, after watching the Pso2 Episode Oracle anime I couldn't agree more, I was shocked how many death there were in just the first few episodes. But who cares, right now, we gotta Dance!

That's the thing. A lot of the time the concerts are timed to happen just before an Urgent Quest triggers so that they have as many ARKS operatives ready to go as possible.

I play...Quite a bit ~~over 500 hours when I last looked...Which is nothing compared to many others~~ and thanks to meeting the people in my alliance, as well as timing with the AC scratches (When they did the throwback one that included the dragon horns/wings/tail) ...I managed to make my full outfit of an ARKS rappy mini suit. and said dragon accessories. Now that more colors are released...I can change up the rappy look, plus seasonal things.

[@JohnnyinCLE]

@@tetsuyatsurugi9250 "ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!"

[@GayLPer]

Boss voices and concert voices definitely have a lot more care put into them than the story mode voices. I can't exactly blame the voice actors for that considering every single line in Story Mode is dubbed, and they probably didn't exactly have the time or resources to do proper voice direction. Some of the scenes are really good, including the ones involving... assassin girl. (I know her name, I'm intentionally being vague.)

I always love how the one person who just wants to stand idle as not part of the event like a magnet goes and stands right next to the person recording the video, every single time. Tried twice to record and both times some one comes and half stands in me and does the stupid default dance while the rest of the podium is fine.
