　Specifically, Chaos Imperial Dragon - Messenger of the End, Chaos Soldier - Messenger of the Creation, Fiber Pod, Magic Scientist, Eight Crow, Nightmare Mirage, Butterfly Dagger -. Elma.

The display size has been changed from 800*600 to 1024*768, and the size has been enlarged. ・When you log in for the first time, you get 3 structure decks (fixed for all players)!
The avatar's appearance can be changed at any time, but you can't choose a woman for some reason.
