October 10, 2009October 10, 2009 Ricardo 9 Comments

The official site updated yesterday which pretty much is a rehash of information already released. It's kind of sad to see how the official site has less information than the official blog, but to make this worth your while, we'll insert minor new details.

New Characters

Chelsea! My Age is a Secret ♪

Chelsea, the receptionist and accountant of Little Wing. She's a very hard worker, but it's very easy to misunderstand what she's saying due to her strange intonation. She has been acquainted with Emilia for a looong time, you could say Chelsea is like her big sister…

Ursula Rollan, 32 years old.

Ursula embodies intelligence and beauty, and is very talented amongst various fields of work. However, she had to sacrifice her private life due to her busy work schedule. She has known Crouch and Emilia before the establishment of Little Wing.

New Items

Many new items will appear in the game. It's said that the game has more than 2000 items, and over 1200 weapons. Some of these include:

Svaltia Tomahawk (Axe)

Nightmare Dust (Twin Claw)

Dilan Slayer (Sword)

Nanoblasts

In addition to the 4 main nanoblasts, three new versions will be added. Kill monsters quickly with the new gold and silver nanoblast. A new berserk "Onyx Black" nanoblast can be activated under a certain condition.

You will unlock nanoblasts by surpassing a certain level. The first nanoblast that is available to you at Level 10 is the "speed" and "defense" forms. At higher levels you will unlock the gold and silver versions, which has a chance of unlocking the black version. For more information read here.

Sakai will reveal details of the trial demo of PSP2 in the next Fun Fan Episode.
NPCs will react if you use a lobby action in front of them while in a mission.

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Fun Fan 3: Promo Video and PSO Forest Run

October 9, 2009October 9, 2009 Ricardo Leave a comment

Fun Fan 3 was released today, so in our usual case, here are the videos on youtube for all to enjoy.

Video features a huge snowball, new nanoblasts, new enemies, the item trader, and more. Most of this stuff was already covered here.

Noto and Dragon Sakai play through PSO's forest. Watch as their partner characters Toro and Kuro play with them. Sakai also says that if you do a lobby action in front of a partner character, they will react to it.

The official site updated today as well, we'll go through that later on but it's basically a rehash of information. However you can see more higher resolutions of the PSO enemies, and the nanoblasts.

Ursula and Chelsea

Two new characters were introduced, Ursula Rollan and Chelsea. These two characters are actually co workers. One's a boss and one's a subordinate.

Ursula has strong history with Sky Clad and Little Wing, but besides that, she's also a famous fashion designer. She's described as a "versatile" career oriented woman! She's particularly more reliable than Crouch in taking care of Emilia. She's voiced by the wonderful Atsuko Tanaka, who lends her voice to paint Ursula with adult charm and wisdom.

Chelsea is Clad6's receptionist woman, she works very hard to serve her customers. She speaks in high spirits and has a peculiar speech pattern. When you hear her speak, try to listen for a particular rhythm.

PSO in My PSP2?
More likely than you think..

Nano Dragon appears in Phantasy Star Portable 2

Hyperspace sailing is a a new concept in PSP2. If you recall the story of PSP2, Gurhalians are taking on hyperspace sailing since resources are drying up fast in the solar system. During a Hyperspace experiment, an unexpected calamity befell Gurhal. Sakai makes a comment on how previously only Boomas appeared in Neudaiz… But now, PSO monsters are taking habitat within Gurhal. Sakai says these monsters sport a fresh design, and look even better too! I'm sure you can see the beefed up nano dragon model in the screenshot.

New Weapons and Contest Items

There are more than 1200 weapons to choose from. With this amount of weapons, it can be difficult to figure out which weapons you should hold on to. Sakai says NOT to throw away a weapon you deem as weak, there may be some new unrevealed system that might help you out.

Sega held a contest design for clothes and weapons that players can draw for Phantasy Star Portable 2. All except the Chevalier Fluge will be added to the game. Chevalier Fluge will instead become a download item which you can get for free.
