Current Information

1up.com reports Phantasy Star Portable will be released in March 3rd, 2009. The bad news, multiplayer gameplay will still use Ad-Hoc mode which is a bummer for the majority of players in the US. We have also added the European release date below.  Phantasy Star Zero will release in Winter 2009.

If your planning to pick up this game, I still recommend using XLink Kai for PSP. This will allow you to play online with other players around the globe.  We do hope Sega changes this before release, but for now no announcement has been made.

Future AdHoc Plans

Sony has announced a new feature currently in open beta in Japan. This "AdHoc Party for PSP" will allow PSP owners to play AdHoc games over the internet using Playstation 3's network connection. Unfortunately those without a Playstation 3 will be unable to utilize such feature. This feature will allow players to meet up in a lobby and chat using text or voice.

Game: Phantasy Star Portable
Release Date: March 3, 2009

Details of October 10th 2008 Update with GH490 and Neudaiz Transfer

Ricardo Leave a comment

The Japanese Phantasy Star Universe site has listed details on what to  expect for October 10.

Hidden update
Minor spawn changes to White Beast.
A key location has been changed.

PM GH 490

This new Partner Machinery is loosely based after Moomins. It carries it's own rappy backpack and wields very interesting weapons. You will be able to obtain PM GH490 at "The Collector" by Parn Leaf Cafe . Remember those Megashi Arms, Legs, Torso, and head, we've told you to collect? Well this is the reason why you'll need it. But wait there's more! if your looking to wear Howzer's disco outfit in the future. I suggest holding on to this EX Device.

Please Note: Your PM's Battle Stat or B.Stat must be 100. You can raise your battle stat by bringing your PM to missions with you. You can raise it faster by S ranking C level missions.

Neudaiz Move Pass

Now you'll be able to transfer your room to Neudaiz using the Neudaiz: Transfer remodeling ticket. Players can enter their rooms through the Neudaiz Guardians building. However you'll need to bring a few items to "The Collector" before you can obtain it.

  • Scroll
    Collect these items inside boxes scattered across Mizuraki Conservation Disctrict
  • Paper Latern
    Buy 20 "Neu Wood" and "Neudaiz Souvenir" at MA-GRMS Neudaiz
  • Kakwane Figure
    Buy Kakwane Figure at MA-GRMS Cylez and synthesize with 3 Kakwane Tails and 10 Gra-Photon
    Suggest buying Kakwane Tails or hunt at White Beast but the majority of you should have them already.

New Collector Exchanges

Some brand new creative decoration items should be available, including the music discs that feature songs from Neudaiz. Most of these item exchanges require specific drops from specific enemies.

Expected Downtime

All Phantasy Star Universe servers will be down at an unannounced time in the future for ISP maintenance. The date has been moved from October 11th.
