Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Full Version Mini Guide

Posted by Ricardo

This post contains a small guide of the various  features introduced in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. The information contained in this post is based on user experiences and wiki information. The contents will update and become clearer over time.

Some information below is straight from the Japanese Wiki. For other basic procedures, please refer to the Demo Guide.

 

True Ending Theory

rico saxy 300x289

Both the Japanese and English communities are currently investigating a way to achieve the True Ending. The following information may or may not work for you but atleast some progress has been made. Please pay attention to the following list and links.

  • True Ending Requirements [According to Wiki]
    • Ch2: Act2: After Boss Select: “そうだ”  [Required]
    • Ch4: Act1: After Boss Select: “ナギサを信じている” [Required]
    • Ch4: Act2: You must not kill _____ during the boss battle.
    • Ch5: Act1: After Boss Select: 決して諦めない [Required]

If you don’t have dialogue choices after the boss of Chapter 5 Act 1, you won’t get the true ending. You’ll have to go back through previous chapters and select the appropriate choices.

You may also suggest your own choices that allowed you to achieve the true ending.

Episode 2 Situations

Chapter 1: Act 1: Along the way you’ll encounter a fence that requires a key. This key does not normally drop when you defeat the enemies in the area. You’ll have to trigger an event for it to appear.

 

Nagisa tree 300x170

Nagisa will speak in red text when you reach two specific areas. As you approach a tree, Nagisa will comment, “This tree is lovely, perhaps we should sit here.” You need to perform the first lobby action to sit by the tree. An item will appear magically out of nowhere.

 

Nagisa squat 300x170

The second situation occurs near the fence which you can’t normally open. Nagisa will comment about a bush,  she wants to see something but you must hide. Once again, perform the first lobby action to sit within the bushes. You will be ambushed by enemies and a key will appear. Once you open the gate you’ll meet a special character (who has a twitter account), who informs you that she is, “not an evil monster.”

 

Chapter 2 Act 1:  This mission requires you to trap monsters within a fence. You can do this by opening up your shortcut commands and selecting the first few entries depending on the situation. You can successively trap a monster by making sure it is the only one within its designated fence and that you are outside the perimeter of the fence.

As you progress through the level, you will gain control of two gates at the same time, but each gate can only hold one monster. Each shortcut order corresponds to a certain color fence. You may accidentally release one monster while trying to capture the other.

 

capture monster 300x170

Use Shortcut orders to trap enemies

The Vahra and Astark are probably the most difficult enemies to trap. It wouldn’t hurt to attack (but not kill) the Vahra so that it continues to pay attention to you; otherwise, it has a chance at moving off in a random direction away from you.

Rebirth / Reincarnation 転生

Rebirth is initiated at the Type Counter. It is available at level 50 through 200. When you rebirth your character, you add additional stats based on the amount of bonus points you have. The amount of bonus points you have is based on the level your character is.

 

Level 50 Rebirth 300x170

At Level 50, you are assigned 5 Bonus Points

Each stat, including the extend code, has a cap. This is a universal cap and applies to all races. Basically, no matter what race you are, you are allowed to increase the same stats up to a certain value. In the end, a Newman Force will still have higher tech than a Beast Force if both characters reach the tech cap.

 

Stats 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th Pt. total (+Stat)
HP(+50) 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 375(+500) 
PP(+5) 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 275(+50) 
ATK(+35) 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 425(+350)
DEF(+30) 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 260(+300)
ACC(+20) 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 475(+200)
EVA(+8) 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 475(+80)
TECH(+50) 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 425(+500)
MIND(+40) 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 260(+400)
STA(+2) 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 110(+20)
EXTCODE 1 Extend Code costs 5 pts. (10 Total per rebirth)
  • (@Lv200) Five Rebirths + (@Lv109)  1Rebirth = All stat capped
  • (@Lv150) Twelve Rebirths + (@Lv139) 1Rebirth = All stat capped
  • (@Lv100) Fifty One Rebirths + (@Lv76)  1Rebirth = All stat capped
  • (@Lv50) 616Rebirths = All stat capped

The first column lists each stat you can increase. For example, you can increase HP by 50 each time you spend bonus points on it. The same can be said for stamina. Each time you increase stamina, it adds +2 to your base stamina stat.

According to the wiki, you have 10 chances per stat. As you near the 10th chance, the amount of bonus points you will spend for that particular stat also increases. For example, initially HP costs 15 Bonus Points. If you increase it again, it will cost 20 points. The third time costs 25 points. Once you reach the cap, you will spend 375 points to increase HP a total of 500.

+50 HP x 10 (chances) = 500 HP!

*Keep in mind you can rebirth as many times as you want. You can max out any stat at any time provided you have enough bonus points.

Not only can you increase stats with rebirth, but you can also obtain extend codes fairly easily. You can only obtain up to 10 extend codes per rebirth using this method.

 

Extend Code Infinity

Previously in Phantasy Star Portable 2, you can increase the stats of your weapon when you grind it 10 times. Afterwards, you need an extend code to grind it for the final time. Now, Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity adds a new item called “Extend Code Infinity.” This allows you to grind an extended weapon again for higher stats.

 

Planet Treasure menu 300x170

You can obtain an extend code infinity by obtaining Planet Treasure. You must obtain ALL FIVE Planet Treasure, then trade them within the “Treasure Exchange Mission トレジャー交換所” with Kunoh.

 

Treasure 5th Set 300x170

Kunoh wants all 5 planet treasure!

  • セット5 (The Fifth Set)
    • Fusion Code フュージョンコードx20
    • Extend Code Infinity エクステンドコード∞x1 

This set requires STONE, BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, and PLATINUM, planet treasures!

Through the rebirth process, one can extend their battle type cap up to 50.  You can receive additional “Extend Code Infinity” from titles. By leveling a battle type up to 40 and 50, it allows for 8 additional ways to obtain the extend code infinity per character. For example, at Hunter Lv40, you will receive the reward from the title, “一刀両断の凄腕剣士”.  

[via Crysteon]

 

Daylight Scar Infinity Extend 300x170

Daylight Scar Infinity Extended

When you use Extend Code Infinity on an item, their stats will increase and add the text “EXT FULL” on the data page.

 

Planet Treasure

Planet Treasure is probably the most Japanese intensive feature about the game. You will have to match kanji with other kanji. There are no easy visual ways to figure out what mission you need unless you memorize the kanji associated with the mission code combinations.

Planet Treasure Combination Spreadsheet

[spreadsheet via Keiji]

To understand the concept we’ll take a look at one of Yuber’s mission code list. Unfortunately, not everyone will have the same mission codes because the list is randomized.

Planet Treasure Codes 300x170

For Stone Planet Treasure  ストーン, Yuber needs a mission code C rank or higher that contains 新緑巨獣. The first part 新緑 requires the field to be the grassy plains of Parum. The second part 巨獣 requires De Ragan. When Yuber acquires or produces the mission code and adds it to his mission code list…

 

infinity mission crown 300x170

新緑巨獣 Greens Behemoth.

Yuber will see a stone crown added to the mission counter. This crown will notify you of which treasure you can obtain. After clearing this mission, he will have a chance to receive the stone treasure. He can use it to trade within the “Treasure Exchange Mission” “トレジャー交換所” with Kunoh.

  • Planet Treasure: Stone
    •  Fusion Code フュージョンコード ×1
    • Calorie Mate Maple カロリーメイト・メープル ×1
  • Planet Treasure: Stone + Bronze
    •  Fusion Code フュージョンコード ×3 
    • Photon Booster フォトンブースター ×1
  • Planet Treasure: Stone + Bronze + Silver
    • Fusion Code フュージョンコード ×5 
    • Photon Code フォトンコード ×3
  • Planet Treasure: Stone + Bronze + Silver + Gold
    • Fusion Code フュージョンコード ×10
    • Extend Code  エクステンドコード ×1
  • Planet Treasure: Stone + Bronze + Silver + Gold + Platinum
    • Fusion Code フュージョンコード ×20
    • Extend Code Infinity エクステンドコード∞ ×1

Curtz Partner Card / Client Orders

Fulyen Curtz order 258x300

You can obtain Curtz’ partner card by clearing all of his client orders. Most are fairly easy to do, while some require you to clear a mission. Here is a list of the current Curtz client orders.

Curtz Client Order How to Complete Additional Notes
武器の入手と装備(1) Add the weapon: “Dagger” to your palette The Item must be called “ダガー”. not just any dagger.
武器の入手と装備(2) Add the weapon, “Machine Gun” to your palette.  The item must be called “マシンガン”, not just any machine gun.

祈祷効果 Receive a blessing from Sayo the Mystic  
キャラクターの
パーティー加入
Invite a MySynth to your party, and clear the beach mission:
蒼穹に響く戦慄
 
トレーニングミッション Complete the training mission: 攻撃と属性  

After clearing all of these client requests, Curtz will hand over his card and disappear!

 

20110225222526 300x170

Is Curtz acting stubborn?

There are two reasons why due to a language barrier, it may seem as if Curtz is not allowing you to progress. The first reason occurs when you currently can not hold additional star atomizers, moon atomizers, trimates, or your item storage is full. Send any of these items to shared storage to open up space for Curtz to give you the reward.

The second reason can be seen in the screenshot above. Some client orders require you to be a certain battle type. You have to change to another battle type and clear the appropriate orders.

 

Partner Card Requirements

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity adds a variety of Partner Characters to join your party. Each Partner Character will join as long as you fulfill a certain requirement. The list will update once more  information is known.

  • Partner Card Requirements
    • Nagisa:  Clear Episode 2: Chapter 1
    • Hyuga: Clear Episode 2: Chapter 2
    • Tylor: Clear Episode 2: Chapter 3
    • Vasque: Clear the 6th training mission
    • Kunoh: Clear Episode 2: Chapter 4
    • Curtz: Clear all Curtz Client Orders
    • Rico:  Acquire True Ending, Clear Side Story Mission:
      時空を超えて “To Cross Space and Time”
    • Flowen: Complete Max Attack Infinity II on Infinity Difficulty with less than 4 deaths.
    • Rapico: Find 5 Rapico Feathers of Fortune in the Maximum Attack Infinity Missions.
    • Colonel Sanders: Discover Kentucky Fried Chicken Gurhal Branch

Unit Module Nerf

Feril Legs Nerf 300x170

Feril / Legs フェリル/レグス EVA 回避 +15

Although not reflected in the demo, it appears some unit modules were nerfed. The new nerf values are multiples of three, instead of multiples of five.  This means values start from +3 / +6 / + 12 / +15 and upFeril / Legs evasion adds + 15 instead of +25.  This is not the only unit module that is affected by the nerf.


Lumiras Hit 300x170

Lumiras / Hit ルミラス/ヒット ACC 命中  +12?

Normally Lumiras / Hit is supposed to have +20 ACC, but also according to the screenshot above, it is now +12. The hit series are also multiples of 3.

  • Known Unit Module Nerfs
    • X / Legs series were nerfed to multiples of 3 values.
    • X / Hit series were nerfed to multiples of 3 values.

The 10 chances to increase a stat being a limit? Looks like something to discourage constant level 50 rebirthing spam :p

Ricardo

February 25th, 2011 at 10:19 pm

Yes, there’s not much of a point to level up to 50 only to rebirth given that you don’t get enough points anyway, unless you really just want 1 extend code, or you want the title that requires multiple rebirths.

Hopeful for US release

February 25th, 2011 at 10:23 pm

leveling was made easier with those infinity missions that reward extra XP. Unless they changed it, I shot from 1-55 in a couple hours in the demo.

If that change still holds for the retail version then peoples’ fear of re-leveling after rebirth would be put at ease :p

Shugo

February 25th, 2011 at 11:53 pm

Wait, is it only 10 rebirths or 10 upgrades per stat? If it’s only 10 rebirths, then I’m definitely gonna have to synth a 30%+ exp increase infinity mission >.>

Ricardo

February 26th, 2011 at 12:45 am

10 upgrades PER stat. So technically if you rebirth at level 200, 5 times, you will max all stats. Otherwise you can rebirth at level 50, 616 times which is kinda pointless.

Roa

February 26th, 2011 at 1:49 am

Well, if you keep grinding to level 50 sixty-one times, do you think that would be faster to rebirth compared to leveling to 200 ten times? :O

Ricardo

February 26th, 2011 at 2:05 am

Actually my math didn’t take into account that the stat you raise costs more. So it would take two (50) rebirths to raise a stat, then three (50) rebirths to raise a stat.

At level 50 it takes 616 rebirths to reach all caps.
At Level 200 it takes 5 rebirths then one Lv 109 rebirth to reach all caps.

Hopeful for US release

February 26th, 2011 at 2:54 am

Character leveling isn’t as daunting as Type leveling….and this time we can go up to 50….oh god.

to get Basch partner card, you need to complete “Basch’s final training” session. Basically just do all the trainings

Are there any “good” rewards from any of the Curtz client orders or just all healing items?

Ricardo

February 26th, 2011 at 10:49 am

Curtz himself is the only good reward.

Crysteon

February 26th, 2011 at 8:54 pm

Just as an extra info, according to some data mining I did. Lvling any type to 40 and 50 gives you the respective title for the type and an Extend Code infinity, making it up to 8 Extend Codes Infinity so far if you level the 4 types.

By the way, does anyone know what kind of responses you have to do per chapter to get the True Ending? I’ve tried many things, but I cant seem to get it so far >_< (I have S ranked all mission, including the Hard mode ones…and nothign yet. I have also tried the responses posted on the JP wiki, but I cant trigger the very last one on 5-1 x_X)

Ricardo

February 27th, 2011 at 9:18 am

Thank you very much. I’m not going to post the wiki’s true ending guide yet, because I feel as if something is still missing.

I believe there’s a multitude of choices that branch the path away from the true ending.

Maybe EP2 works kind of like PSP1′s story.

Kamui Torres

February 27th, 2011 at 1:50 pm

Does type lv revert to lv 1 when you rebirth?

Crysteon

February 27th, 2011 at 5:27 pm

Nope, it stays the same lvl you left it (if you had it on 30, when you rebirth, it remains on 30). Once you rebirth for the first time, your Lv 50 type cap is unlocked.

Kamui Torres

February 27th, 2011 at 5:34 pm

Ah, Awsome. I rather relv than retype lv XD. Thanks.

Sorry, sorry. I saw the comment on the recent comments area and didn’t even notice which wiki you meant by reading the other comments here.

Here’s a wiki I found via google, but maybe it’s not the best?

Hey Ricardo, just letting you know –I was able to get true ending with Wazap’s guide ^^

SnowFox102

March 4th, 2011 at 6:13 pm

I got the true ending also, though I didn’t really do anything special. I’m wondering if it’s not possible to get the real ending on the first playthrough. I went back and re-selected the three correct answers above, but I think those were the ones I chose in the first place. I could’ve sworn I got dialog options in chapter 5 as well, but I only got the normal ending the first time around. I got all the flashbacks too.

As a note to those trying to get the normal ending, you’ll know early on if you’re going to get it or not. Unlike the previous game, almost everything is different in each ending. From the point of choosing the dialog option in chapter 5, the endings are very different, so from that point on you’ll know which ending you’ll get. (Assuming you remember what the characters say and do from that point on, anyway.)

Also, I watched the credits for the first time last night, and Norio Wakamoto voices TWO characters this time. *happydance*

Ricardo

March 4th, 2011 at 6:52 pm

I always followed the belief that you have to get normal ending to unlock the true ending. I’ve rarely heard of anyone getting the true ending for psp2 vanilla on their first try.

@Janice, thanks for the input.

Is it possible to get Curtz’s partner card for more than one character?

One of his training missions in the JP version of PSP2i needs you to claim a reward for a title from your visiphone, but you can only receive the title and claim the reward once so it doesn’t seem to be possible to complete all the missions for more than 1 character…

Ricardo

March 27th, 2011 at 9:12 am

It was noted in the list, “For other character
“AMF対SEEDライン” place that item in inventory.”
So just keep that item handy for other characters on your save file so you can get his partner card.

When the game released in US, I’m pretty sure there will be a lot more hack codes released than current JP version. I’m okay with hacker as long they don’t bump in online PvP. Not all hackers play dirty you know, some of them just hack levels, points, items and equips then play normally when in-game.
