Level 300..., Lotta EXP Options

[Birium]

Now, as we all know, Episode III has increased the EXP roof to level 300. Let's take a gander at how much freaking EXP that is.

Let's use the equation a/b = b/c. A equals the EXP required to reach 100. That's 2.2 million, so...

(2,200,000 EXP) / B = B / C

I'm going to go off on a loop and say that Episode III is going to follow the EXP roof for 200 on GC. So that's 83 million.

(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = (83,000,000 EXP) / C

The variable to solve for is C. Now, the EXP required for 100 increases exponentially for 200. From a quick calculation on Windows Calc... that's 37.27 repeating. 83,000,000 times 37.27 equals....

3,093,410,000 EXP.

Now, that's if they don't change the formula, so don't get too scared out of your gourd yet. There might be different methods of gaining EXP on Episode III. After all, we are in trading card land. To check if the formula is accurate...

(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = (83,000,000 EXP) / (3,093,410,000 EXP)
(2,200,000 EXP) / (83,000,000 EXP) = 0.0265
(83,000,000 EXP) / (3,093,410,000 EXP) = 0.0268

Eep. Menacingly accurate. So 3,093,410,000 EXP may be the new EXP roof after all.

Crushinator: Nah, no way. There can't be a "Super Ultimate" difficulty left on the disc, or someone would have found it by now. Namely, Barubary. He has foreseen the exclusively online enemies and their names before the quests were even out, so if it was possible to see them, then it's not possible that there is a hidden difficulty in the game.

However, your theory would be correct if you could somehow unlock the difficulty by downloading it onto the EP2 disc, but by then, I don't see why they wouldn't have it on the future incarnation/s of PSO.

Remember, there are people in Japan with the trial disc. If there IS a huge aspect to the game that Sonic Team has rendered us oblivious to by not bringing up info about it (say, a real-time version of EP3) it would be found because the trial disc could be searched using certain software.

Not to piss on your parades, but just showing that anything can be encrypted. I don't think it's possible to hide stuff anymore on discs. Sad, that is. No more Easter Eggs
