Press Images

4Gamer released an article containing a rehash of information already known about Mission Codes, Infinity Missions, and Dyla Bravas. Some of the screenshots revealed some interesting things.

Selecting Episode1 and Episode 2 at the Matching Counter?

 

psp2i online missions

Under the Matching Counter's "My Character" submenu, it appears you can access your storage, set the mission code, auto words, and equipment. Your character information now lists your own palette and mission code.

 

psp2i mission codes

Here you have 3 windows for the mission code. The first window is the "Base Mission", you choose a mission code from your list which will select the field. Then you select a mission code for the "Plus Mission" which is set as the boss. In the screenshot above, the plus mission is being set. After you combine these two, you will have a result mission at the third window.

Now the third window, "Result Mission", created a new mission that combined the two mission codes.

Terada's Corner

Hey I think this is a great header for this guy. Every Friday Terada says something and we try to figure out what he means. Fortunately for me, Terada was extremely clear today. A nicer almost straight forward post that gets to the point about…. OMG SHIZURU IN A BIKINI??

  • Terada talks about the "theme" behind the story. He says in Episode 1, the theme was "Family Love."
  • Episode 2's theme is "Being Prepared."
  • The Swimsuit scene is now ready to be revealed.
  • The Dialogue in Episode 2 changes depending on what gender you are.
  • (There's only one character I can think of who needs gender based dialogue… Hyu….)

Clothes and Parts

Nachtlotus

The 1st place winner. This original design isn't meant to be showy at all. It has a floating line shield that goes around the circumference of the outfit.

This is a hooded cloak for Male Casts. The theme of this coat is to represent a Shinigami or Death God. The line shield is at the back so that the player can easily identify it.

New Hairstyles in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity

Ricardo 18 Comments

Many people have wished for clothes to no longer have a race restriction, and that came true in Infinity. But others have also demanded for hairstyles to no longer have that race restriction.  Well…

 

A newman wearing the Beast exclusive hairstyle.

He's still a guy.

 

70 hairstyles for males?

 

 Naturally females have more new hairstyles.

 

This hairstyle looks familiar.

 

An angular hairstyle.

 

This hairstyle was exclusive to newman girls.

 

Many have requested for characters to have Bruce's baldness. You may think this "hairstyle" is easy to implement on created characters, but Bruce's head has a different model. If it were applied to a normal character's head, you would see gaps above their face. In addition, applying that hairstyle  increases production time and costs a lot, especially since they are on a strict schedule.  When you add things like this, you have to give up other aspects of the game. Like the screenshot feature was abandoned in PSP2, but after some hard work and dedication, it was implemented in PSP2i.

Additional Comments

What's odd is the background for the menus are now white. Even though the background for loading screens were black since the TGS demo.
