Today Sakai reintroduces the beach. This beach takes place on Clad 6 Resort Colony. As you may know, Paracabana Coast was a beach area on Parum , but you were not able to do any missions on it. There were many demands to play a beach area since you could do it in Phantasy Star Online Episode 2, but that idea didn't make it in time for PSU:AOTI.
The beach was scheduled to make an appearance in Phantasy Star Portable 2 since Clad 6 is a Resort Colony after all. But due to time constraints it never made it until now. Sega presented this new beach area at the TGS, but that version was in development, and now it's been upgraded since then.
Zerumon
A neudaiz version from the Evil Shark family.
Rappy Rizona
This rappy's color was changed since TGS.
Koko Merodda
It has a strong shield in front of it.
It was small at TGS, but now they made it larger.
Let's Jumping!
In the TGS version, only a small portion of it had catapult jumps. Now they have laid many more gimmicks across this stage.
So tomorrow Sakai will talk about the new Boss for this area.

PSO Enemy: Garanz
He will appear in PSO Mines and the Tropical Rainforest (Moatoob). He is lightning element. In PSO, his armor falls off when his HP is low. He becomes enraged and his missile pod is exposed. He will shoot out missiles from his shoulders. These missiles are heat seeking and can follow you. But if you are skillful, it can actually damage surrounding enemies and Garanz himself. But it is unknown whether this characteristic will reappear in PSPo2i.
Whats known so far is that he will have those heat seeking missiles and they will pursue your character, but they are unsure if Garanz will become enraged like he did in PSO.
PSPo2i Addition: If you attack him constantly, he will tip over and fall.
New Enemy: Golan Garan
ゴランガラン (Golan Garan) or (Golan Golland)
He is a new large sized (possible mid-boss) enemy. He is fire element and is located in the Saguraki district. He walks around on 4 legs like a lion. On its mane it has 7 points that extrude back, each part has a candle-like flame on it. His head also has two horns that extend forward. It is meant to be a "Legendary Beast" in some locales. He spits out a fireball that looks similar to Foie. Around its body it can do a destructive blast (or explosion). This blast was described like Teostra from Monster Hunter. Apparently it stole one of Teostra's special move? How Funny…
Can someone who plays Monster Hunter describe him for me…
