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.
