Phantasy Star Portable 2: Moyashimon and Jump Mission

Ricardo Leave a comment

Well we have several new features coming up this week. This includes the Moyashimon Visual Unit and 邪王降臨 collaboration mission.

 

What's New?

The "Jump 邪王降臨" mission follows the theme of "friends saving friends." In this mission, you rescue the three Naura sisters! As you play there will be several gimmicks to impede your victory! At the end of the mission you will fight the rare boss "Olga Dyran."  It appears this mission will play similar to "The Big Push", where you must protect the sisters from receiving damage.

This mission will be very difficult, but Sakai describes it also as DELICIOUS, because of the rare drops! It appears the previous Shonen Jump collaboration weapons will drop in this mission. Now you'll be able to obtain those weapons with different elemental percentages. Download this mission on 2/24/10.

Whats Next For Sakai Part 2 *

Shougai PSO posted a minor minor update about the next game in the Phantasy Star Series. In a recent Dengeki article, Sakai comments, "Phantasy Star Portable 2 can be seen as a compilation of the Phantasy Star Universe Series. Therefor, I think that next [game] will be a new "leap" for the series. As for [making] the Phantasy Star Series, "challenging" is one of the concepts. So there's an opinion that we should just make a console version of PSP2, however, I think that this [new] thing should be something more different from that. I want to not only draw in new players, but also deliver a game that older fans can approve of."

Shougai PSO speculates that a brand new game for the Phantasy Star Series is in development. They speculate the new game will not be the "Gurhal" series of PSP2, since he stated it will be "different thing" but may draw upon the flow of PSO's "Ragol Series", since he stated it would be a game the older fans approve of.

I would say from all of  this, this next game will be completely new, just as PSZero was, but may follow some older traditions that we've come to love throughout our years of playing Phantasy Star.

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Maximum Attack Little Wing Extended, Hatsune Miku VN02 + Clad 6 Shopping Uniform DLC

Actual News

Finally some actual news that has nothing to do with Emilia being nude. A few brand new download content items are heading this way. This includes the long awaited Hatsune Miku VN02 outfit! Plus you can now wear the EDEN uniforms from the shopkeepers of Clad 6. As always you can only download these outfits from the Japanese Playstation Store.  CFW users can not use CWCheat codes to obtain the outfits. (Think about why you can't for a second…)

Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup has been extended due to popular demand. The new final date is now February 19th, 2010. Did you know that if we all achieve  a total kill count of 10,000,000 we'll all receive 3 Extend Codes? That's right! Three extend codes! Why bother completing all the challenge missions when you can get them for free! Extend Codes allow players to upgrade weapons of any grade to S grade. You can even embed the weapon with a special ability like Freeze. It will also have a shiny glimmering effect when you take it out.

Plus, the last "water" route opened up a few days ago and gives out the EX tickets. Please refer to the previous post on the cost per exchange items.

After completion of the Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup, Multimode players will now be able to access ALL routes on their own; Extend codes will also be distributed.

Sakai mentions that there was some dissatisfaction with the way this event was handled. He hopes to use our opinions to make future events even better!

The next download mission will include a new collaboration with Jump Magazine's  "邪王降臨" that concludes with the battle of the rare boss known as Olga Dyran.

PSUBlog's general FAQ is slowly growing but we need more questions, please post a comment preferably at the bottom of this post asking simple general questions to the game for example,  "How to unlock and play Megashi Eradication mission." or "How to get online after purchasing the game."

PSU Japan Phishing

On January 21st, 2010 Phantasy Star Universe Japan was hit with a phishing attempt on a Chinese domain name. The url was reported to be passed around various message boards and emails. The actual site clearly mocks the login elements of the official site even going as far to include CAPTCHA to lure unsuspecting users to the site.   The news was first posted by The Council of Anti-Phishing Online.

Online Character Data

A new character data chart was posted on the official blog yesterday.

  • Females are the most popular sex.
  • Humans then Casts makes the most popular race.
  • Hunters then Bravers are the most popular classes.
  • Forces dropped from 10% to 8% since the game's release.
  • Rangers dropped from 18% to 15% since the game's release.

Notice how the Forces make up for only 8% of total players. Why do you think less people are interested in playing as a force? Please fix this Sakai.

 

Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup Overview Phantasy Star Portable 2

Ricardo 2 Comments

The  Maximum Attack リトルウィング Cup is officially up. I had the chance to play with a few Japanese players who spoke some english. A very interesting feature about this event is how it's tied into the Internet servers. Every monster you kill, gets added to a total kill count. This kill count actually unlocks new routes where you can obtain better special tickets to receive items. Also another Fun Fan was posted today, it will appear on youtube at a later time.

Maximum Attack Update

Several new items highlighted in orange can be seen below. You can recieve your Madoog by playing the exchange mission in story mode. Instructions at the bottom of this post. If we reach 10 million kill count EVERYONE gets a free extend code.


Maximum Attack Outline

To play Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup you must either download the missions from Sega or connect to Internet Multimode. Please note, only Internet Multimode counts towards the total kill count. While online, select Extra Mission (エクストラミッション) > Clad 6 (クラッド６)  > Famitsu Maximum Attack  (ファミ通マキシマムアタック)

At the start of the mission, you will arrive in  Seabed Plant. You may optionally speak to Tonio or Liina. Liina will inform you that you can exchange tickets in Story Mode. You will then head to a blue gate and click on a switch to select a route.

The party leader can select a route here!

Within the Mission you can obtain Special Tickets スペシャルチケット; C, B, A, S and  EX. Based on which route you chose, you will receive different Special Tickets as an S rank reward. There is also a small chance you may receive Photon Boosters and Photon Codes.

 

Routes

Various Routes are unlocked based on the total number kill counts.

  • Route 1: Ancient Forest (古代果樹林)
  • Route 2: Forgotten Sand City (忘却砂岩都市)
  • Route 3: Evil Front (悪意ある戦地)
  • Route 4: Frozen Road (凍てつく世道)
  • Route 5: The Great Water Source (偉大なる水源 ) 

Mission Rewards

For now, mission end result grades depend on the amount of enemies you kill. Killing all 40 enemies nets you a S rank Grade. Items marked by the word (Chance) indicate you may randomly receive this item. This information may change at any point.
