Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Opening Movie
Post Extended!
Sakai updated this morning about the opening movie. Since we’ve already seen it, there’s nothing particularly new about his post. The opening movie is edited with new footage among the old. The old default costumes are to symbolize the previous game, Phantasy Star Portable 2.
It appears the sound clip may have been off from the Nico Nico Douga video, so the opening movie will be shown at the official site later on. But first, Sakai says you should watch the whole thing at the Tokyo Game Show. You should expect to hear some new announcements at the show this week.

Item Design Contest
Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and Nico Nico Seiga is holding an item design contest! The judges will select artwork that will be included In-Finity! To view submitted entries, you may additionally click on artwork tagged as weapons and artwork tagged as clothes and parts.
The items selected may also make an appearance as download items for PSpo2i. Sega plans to reveal a collaboration with Nico Nico’s company itself. So in essence we now have Calorie Mate and Nico Nico Douga joining as new collaboration materials.

A twitter contest will be running during the duration of the Tokyo Game Show! Between, 9/16/10 – 9/18/10, those who mention Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity x Calorie Mate collaboration in twitter (in Japanese…) will randomly receive a few gifts. You have to follow both Calorie Mate’s mascot (@yellowman2010) and PSP2′s mascot (@rapico) to enter the contest. Winners chosen will receive a Calorie Mate: Maple Block, a Phantasy Star Portable 2 x Calorie Mate strap, and Phantasy Star Portable 2: PSP the Best!
You must sign up for your entry here.
If you attend the TGS on either Sept 18th, or Sept 19th, the days Sakai will appear, you can receive a business card with Nagisa’s artwork. The card will be given out at specific times which are mentioned on @rapico’s twitter account just before it starts.

The Ancients???

Uh, you removed the video from the post Ricardo.
September 9th, 2010 at 9:05 am
The video isn’t there?
September 9th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Maybe it’s just me. It was there, I watched it, I refreshed the page, post updated, and the video disappeared. It could be that I’m using Safari, or my iPhone, but either way that’s what happened.

I wish the music matched what was going on in the video a bit better, seemed a little jumbled. But cool effects, and yes I agree the new ancient looks pretty bad…
Id give it an 9/10

He look like he was created in PSU’s character creation using the flat top hairstyle.

Shawn
September 9th, 2010 at 10:21 am
oh wait it might be a hat or he has a long forehead
September 9th, 2010 at 10:47 am
Video is going to be down for a while until it’s reuploaded somewhere off of Youtube.

Lol, the song for Infinity is less catchy >.<
September 9th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Hey, it’s like the first PSP in terms of recycling…
“Who is he and why is he designed so badly?”
xDDDD… best quote evurrr! Man.. ancient dude has some TALL hair. D:

Music is nice, cinematic is alright. Lots of reused cinematic that doesn’t always seem to flow very well with the song.
Could care less about the new race unless their magic power surpasses a newman. Glass cannons all the way.
September 9th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
@Crevox, I actually don’t like the song except for the Infinity part near the end.
@Blu_Berri: He looks like Captain Planet
Shawn
September 9th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
hahahaha *wind water,fire,earth……….Photon! with your power combined we make my hair even taller
September 9th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
@Ricky – Captain Planet + this guy:
http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/Benimaru_Nikaido
Benimaru uses thunder to keep his hair up though. I guess badly designed, ancient guy uses his AYNSHENT PAWAHZ to keep his hair up.
…possibly.
@Shawn – The last element needs to be more useless… like Emilia or something.
September 9th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
The music really doesn’t fit the “opening”. I refuse to call it a proper opening since they just rehashed PSP2′s opening with a few new images/clips. I hope they polish it and actually make the video work with the music. The few new parts are neat.

@Blu_Berri: epic win lol i use him in King of Fighter2003 he kicks ass
Emilia is heart or light lol

I’m so gonna submit a costume >:D (Ghetto tomboy clothes PSU style coming up)
September 9th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Is there anyway to make the opening download work on a psp?
September 9th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
@D-Gold
You’d have to convert. Maybe Media GO can do it for you. Or you can just find a program that converts to PSP compatible videos.

actually i dont know where ive read it but that guy with the flat top is supposedly an ancient controlling whats his face that one white haired guy like emilia with mika except that the ancient guy is in control and is evil.
September 10th, 2010 at 1:00 am
Well that would be Kamuhan, but he doesn’t look so evil in that picture.
September 10th, 2010 at 6:03 am
media go converted it for me
September 12th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
I didn’t even realize this until someone at the PSP2 board at GameFAQs made me look closer at this opening movie, but if you notice that pulse that goes through Parum in the first seconds of it, you might realize something.
Ragol went through something quite similar. ^_^
September 13th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
Meh, never mind my thinking of Parum as Ragol. Since I never could play Episode 3 of PSU, I know next to nothing about Rykros.

That guy after Shizuru must be the human-ish form of Kumhan.
December 20th, 2010 at 10:39 am
