PSP2i: National Fan Thanks Festa 2011 Videos and Impressions

Sega kicked off the first in a series of National Fan Thanks Festa to celebrate Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.

Go Watch!

See Another!

Instead of translating other player's experiences with Olga Flow, you can just watch the video for yourself! Japanese video game news companies are competing in the Mini Mini Infinity Grand Prix 2nd Stage. Who will be the ultimate winner? Tune in to find out!

Also on the 17th page of P-SPEC, a fanzine that was sold at the Thanks Festa. Shougai uncovered a small tidbit about  the music for Phantasy Star Online 2. According to Sakai, "…Of course, the BGM changes when you enter into battle (laughs)" So the revival of BGM transition music is expected to reappear in PSO2.

敵の総称はPSU以降モンスターだったがエネミーに戻そうと思ってる

Because I want you to taste  [new] adventure, the stage is not set in Ragol which you are already too familiar with. Although, somewhere in this world,  there may be a connection to Ragol.

戦闘に入るとBGM変わる
When entering battle, the BGM changes.

Gundam and Other Mechanical Designers Create Outfits: Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity

Gundam mechanical designer, Kunio Okawara, will create a special outfit and weapons for Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. But he's not the only artist to join in, expect artists like Huke, Kanetake Ebikawa, Junya Ishigaki, and  Suzuhito Yasuda to design outfits as well. They will create additional cast parts and weapons that you can receive in the Playstation Store.
