Bunkohara, an assistant producer for Phantasy Star Online 2 sent out an email revealing that Forces exist in the game. In addition, she distributed an image on what the Rappy will look like. She herself intentionally censored parts of different sentences, these are reflected with a _____ space.

Rappies are the mascots for PSO, this time in PSO2 their cuteness has increased “200%”, you can meet these rappies by first going (to/in/at) ____.

Bunkohara mentioned that many users asked lots of questions about Forces, (because they were not previously shown.) But they do indeed exist, and are capable of hitting enemies with the rod just like PSO.

Something coming out from the rod.

Remember that site where you send your PSO2 message to the staff? They are pasted here on the bulletin board for all the developers to see, so your wishes are not in vain.

Sue?

In this particular screenshot Bonkohara made a note about how it has been censored. Although they censored the top left corner and the name of the Fomar that’s attacking the enemy, there was one name that was left intact. Perhaps  Bunkohara [accidentally on purpose] forgot to censor this name.

スゥ

Sue’s name can be seen by the Fomar’s weapon. This “Sue” behind the enemy is kind of similar in appearance to her, yet her name appears in blue. Although from experience, blue names usually signified GMs, however Shougai speculates that it may be a partner. Oh well. We also note the Fomar’s name also appears to be in blue. Not really sure what that means at this moment.

A PSZero Fan’s Dream Come True (Sort of)

Infinity Grand Prix EXTRA – Stage Zero mimics Phantasy Star Zero’s most difficult stage, Eternal Tower! Not the whole entire Eternal Tower, just a small portion of it. In this challenge mission you will fight all forms of Mothers, including Heaven Mother. Unlike the original Infinity Grand Prix, you can participate with up to 4 players.

In the Infinity Grand Prix EXTRA Exchange, you can trade clear items for Phantasy Star ZERO related room decorations, items,  and password items. Also, the Infinity Grand Prix Final Stage (the Olga Flow Challenge mission)  clear time has now changed from 5:00 minutes to 7:30 minutes.

Gurhal Boost Road’s first mission of the week  is War of the Winds. In Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, a Boost Road lets players play a specific free mission with the above bonuses applied to it as well as lower enemy health. Boost Road missions are indicated by orange text separating it from regular free missions. Boost Road missions are limited to Internet Multimode gameplay.

Sakai understands that you may have expected there to be a lot of boost road missions released at the same time, however he states that due to the size of download mission data, he can only deliver 1 to 2 kinds at a time. But if you feel he should place more missions among a boost road, you can send him a comment and maybe something will happen?

In addition those awaiting Phantasy Star Online 2 should expect an email newsletter tomorrow. And in his words, “Is there going to be surprising new information?“

We can only hope that he stops censoring Bunkohara’s text.
