The official site updated today, and if you visit this blog you already know it’s going to be a re re re hash of information already released. So to make this interesting we”ll add some new elements inside. It’s nice to see NA video game news sites covering Phantasy Star Portable 2 but for some reason they seem to skip out on a majority of the major changes that were announced. If you follow this blog or other fan sites you’ll be pretty much in the know days before Sega of Japan releases official news overseas. Cool ain’t it! POWA UPU!

The official site became very white… They also added Promo Video 3, which has already been uploaded on Youtube a few weeks ago.

Hoshin Engi Collaboration

Ryu Fujisaki, artist for the manga Houshin Engi, created a pretty strange outfit. It’s like a cross between dot hack and Kingdom Hearts. The outfit is called Blank Epoch and Shin no Zou (Telltale Hearts) which are knuckles with freaky glowing effects.

Let’s knock down enemies with these knuckles!
