Gamespot Japan Adds Tons of Phantasy Star Portable 2 Screenshots

Posted by Ricardo

Well I guess this is part of the “new information” the Rappy kid was talking about on the official blog. I’m sure there will be more news as the day progresses. This Gamespot article pretty much sums up everything that was revealed already and adds some minor new elements. The mission counter shows us exactly which monsters and what weapons will appear. The article also includes new screenshots for the default characters.

Charge Shot Animation

When you use charge shots, your character will perform a new animation. Let’s take a look at the charge shot animations.

Handgun

Twin Handgun (jump backwards)

Rifle

Note the amount of PP each charge shot use. Since this game does not have any photon charges, you shouldn’t constantly use Charge Shots all the time.

Notable Screenshots

A Ground elemental Shield.

Neutral Elemental Shield
About 20 PP is consumed when the shield blocks enemy attacks.

Shop

The “Variety Shop”

This counter shares the same logo as the makeup counter.
Though AMY talks about how cute her wand is..
