Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity: TGS Demo Area and Boss

Today we have some details about the Tokyo Game Show Demo! Looks like Sakai is a little angry at Captain T for spoiling the new beach area and boss without permission, but anyway…

At the Tokyo Game Show you can experience this new field, a new boss, and play as the new race, the Dumans!  You can even use their new Infinity Blast.

It appears this beach area isn't on Parum, but on Clad 6. Originally, Clad 6 was a Resort Colony and somehow monsters are running rampant! This new field contains only brand new monsters, one of them is called Finjer which are from Phantasy Star Zero's Arca Plant. There's also some catapult jumps interspersed as well.

This new boss is called ギール・ゾーグ Gir Zōg (Geer Zoug), which will have some kind of gimmick within his boss area as well. Sakai assures us that this boss is not the one from Phantasy Star Zero.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Opening Movie

Post Extended!

Sakai updated this morning about the opening movie. Since we've already seen it, there's nothing particularly new about his post. The opening movie is edited with new footage among the old. The old default costumes are to symbolize the previous game, Phantasy Star Portable 2.

 

It appears the sound clip may have been off from the Nico Nico Douga video, so the opening movie will be shown at the official site later on. But first, Sakai says you should watch the whole thing at the Tokyo Game Show. You should expect to hear some new announcements at the show this week.

Item Design Contest

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity and Nico Nico Seiga is holding an item design contest! The judges will select artwork that will be included In-Finity! To view submitted entries, you may additionally click on artwork tagged as weapons and artwork tagged as clothes and parts.

The items selected may also make an appearance as download items for PSpo2i. Sega plans to reveal a collaboration with Nico Nico's company itself. So in essence we now have Calorie Mate and Nico Nico Douga joining as new collaboration materials.

PSPo2i: Beach Teasers

Hi quick update today. Captain T at the official blog posted details about a brand new field which is simply known as Kaigan or Beach for now. Unlike Sakai, Captain T likes to be very uh vague and rambles on a lot… so… He mentions killing 4 Finjers, which are those surfboard enemies that you see in Phantasy Star Zero at the Arca Plant.

He also says you can lock important items from being sold or thrown away. (It appears these are a specific type of items though…)

This beach mission will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show!

  • Captain T also mentioned K-On saying that the last episode is coming up.
  • (Possible Collaboration? Maybe?) Sega is making a K-On PSP rhythm game.
  • Sakai's full interview posted on Nico Nico Douga. (How come he didn't take that one down…)

Additional Comments

Is it just me or does that boss seem like a reskin of the Octopus of PSZero. Hmm…
