Phantasy Star Fan Blog

Hello space cats! Welcome to the future… of Download Content. Naturally with the Japanese Playstation Store down, our delivery of download content has been delayed way more than it should have been. Though once it’s restored, you can expect to see them show up at the Playstation Store.

Missions: Expect even more Multimode, Challenge, and Story Mode Missions (with high difficulty)*. Because the distribution of missions are not affected by the Playstation Network, you can expect news of missions in the days to come.

Gurhal Boost Road: Specific missions in PSP2i will have their item drop rate, type points, and EXP increased. Each week the missions for the Boost Road will change, expect news of this campaign sometime in the future.

Weapons: We have tons of new DLC weapons waiting for their arrival, expect things like Sakura Wars, Gurren Lagann, Border Break Air Burst, Shining Force Cross Raid, Fate, Infinity Grand Prix Winner Weapons, and Nico Nico Design contest weapons.

Hammer Scraper

Twin Scraper

Aeon Suzugia

Those that participate in Phantasy Star Eternal Hunters can look forward to receiving a new weapon called, “アイオーンシュジュギア” Aeon Suzugia!

Online Lobby: Since the Illustration Contest winners have been shown in the lobby for a month, expect to see other non-winning illustrations that the judges found interesting.

Maximum Attack Infinity: You can use a 超お楽しみ引換券 Super Amusement Coupon and trade it for the reward weapons. One Super Amusement coupon requires 30 Little Wing, Guardians, and Hunters tickets.

Phantasy Star Victory (Rumor)

So what is Phantasy Star Victory? Well we’re not entirely sure. Here’s the gist of what happened so far. Kenichi Tanese a programmer for Phantasy Star Zero replied to a tweet on how they should make Phantasy Star Victory again to [cover the initials of Playstation Vita?].   

Obviously this title isn’t official, and was probably a joke, but it’s something you can just put in the back of your head until after PSO2 and Playstation Vita comes out. But we do know they plan on developing a Phantasy Star title for Vita, but we won’t really know for sure what that is until it’s announced.

According to Shougai, Victory was previously a rejected title.

Elenor Clear Color Version

Yet another Elenor is coming out this September, this time it’s a clear color version, meaning it’s transparent. However the image above is just a development CG on what it should eventually look like.

We’re seeing numerous reports on twitter about Phantasy Star Online 2 Alpha Test E-mail being sent out. I didn’t get selected though, but if you want to be a PSO2 correspondent on here, by all means send me a message!

According to the email, there is no scheduled date for when the Alpha Test starts, but it will start sometime this summer. But one line kinda struck me,

ラグオルからオラクルへと舞台は変わりますが
(Even Though) the stage has changed from Ragol to Oracle..

Hm I’m looking too much into it but I was thinking Oracle was a spaceship, but perhaps it means the central  setting of PSO2 is Oracle.

If you weren’t selected, wait for an additional announcement of when they will select another round of testers.

Last week we achieved 100% giga phone by amassing 49+ million kills. This week our reward weapon is Esperanza, whose goal is 55million kills. I think he’s making it too easy for us.

Esperanza Twin Saber: 55 Mil Kills for 100%

At 50 million kills, our clear result reward weapons that you receive in the mission results screen will now have 30% ~ 50% elemental rate. But Sakai wrote we actually should aim for more than 60million kills this time, because another reward panel is waiting to be unlocked.

In Maximum Attack Infinity IV, players will battle on the ark, destroying SEED cores before they reach 100%. If they reach that amount, you will receive damage and your field of vision is slightly obstructed with a purple haze.

This time the main attributes you should use is light and dark. At 52 million kills, the bonus block unlocks! At the end of the mission you will fight Dark Falz Dios.

Did you know you can now change the BGM for each MAI mission to “Entrance Infinity?” (Ok actually I think that’s overkill.)
