Clothes and Parts

Nachtlotus

The 1st place winner. This original design isn’t meant to be showy at all. It has a floating line shield that goes around the circumference of the outfit.

[designer: 竹光]

 

VerdeCoat

This is a hooded cloak for Male Casts. The theme of this coat is to represent a Shinigami or Death God. The line shield is at the back so that the player can easily identify it.

Croce Segmentata

At the back of this outfit, a device assists with propulsion so that you are highly mobile in battle. It is used by members of a certain religious organization.

[designer: Noah]

Weapons

Weisse Lillie

The spear that protected a saint, it is a spear and shield combined. Sakai says this spear would be perfect for Infinity’s default cast male.

[designer: ヒルデガルト]

 

Juggernaut

These rustic knuckles have an animation of a rotating corkscrew. It’s supposed to use the sound effect Pike’s axe (Gryz) from Phantasy Star IV.

[designer: 西向アズタカ]

 

Double Waber

A double saber that uses the motif of the Waber Family. who helped to put an end to the Illuminus! Ethan Waber is represented as the sun, and Lumia Waber is represented by the moon. This weapon comes with a bonus effect. If you invite Ethan and Lumia to the party, the weapon’s attack power is supposed to increase. Sakai is investigating whether he can achieve this effect.

[designer: てら]

We’ll cover the honorable mentions at a later time.

Unfortunately these items are going to be free download items for Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. They will also appear in Phantasy Star Universe Japan.

Fourth Place Winners

Here are SOME of the fourth place winners and their items. Expect to see these for Infinity and PSU Japan.

Imperial Cross

An outfit that’s opposite of Shizuru’s dark style. It has a wound in a shape of a cross.

[designer: Custard]

Sengetsu

Sengetsu, a crescent moon axe.

[designer: Reffi]

 

Sleipnir

This mysterious grenade arrived from a parallel universe through subspace. One cannot equip it unless they have closely bonded with the weapon. It has a ferocious neigh and spits out a spinning carrot. Its head and mouth are constantly in motion.

[designer: Big the Shogun]

Well if you’ve been playing Phantasy Star Portable 2 (US/EU) version online, you may have noticed a few shady players who somehow “magically” reached to level 200 with type level 30. Or maybe you noticed enemies are regularly dropping Tumikiri Hyori even when Shizuru is nowhere to be seen. It appears Sega will actively support the international servers by removing hackers and cheaters online.

 

Little Wing License Updated

The Little Wing License is a code that enables you to access the Online Multiplayer portion of the game. The Little Wing License was supposed to disallow those with illegitimate versions of the game from connecting online. The License is now updated to only allow those with a valid code to play the game online.

All users now need the code granted within the retail copy of the game or which was automatically awarded when purchased digitally to access the online servers.  [Ruby Eclipse]

If you have already entered the code and are still having problems logging on. You should try to redownload the Little Wing License from your Playstation Store or Account Management Transaction History.

In my personal test I was able to connect without having to redownload the Little Wing License.
