PSPo:2 Jumping

jumping

Sakai updated information about the Battle Mode. There will be various games to play in battle. This screenshot features "Catapult Jump" where players are split into two teams and must collect "Energy balls" and acquire bases. It sounds pretty much like capture the flag so far… He also wants you to check out future "Weekly Shonen Jump"  to see rest of the collaboration items.

Collaboration

These scans show off the Love Ring Feather Outfit and Art Javelin, some of the exclusive collaboration items appearing in PSP2. We have been wondering if these collaboration items will appear outside of Japan. Some of the Japanese mange listed have no western publishers, and surely copyright issues will hinder their appearance. Hopefully Sega of America will make exclusive items for our version as compensation, (but we know they always take the laziest way out of doing things considering psp1 doesn't have DLC).  Also don't forget to check out Sakai's interview with Dengeki Magazine.

Interview with the Dragon

Dengeki Playstion posted an interview with Producer Sakai! Much of the information has been  posted here but you can read about some minor tidbits that were posted on fan blogs.

  • Character Creation voice is completely new.
  • Running Animation changed (supposedly it's dynamic, and  full of motivation.)
  • If you attack an enemy with an opposite element Technic, you will see new animation. For example, ice will scatter if you attack a fire enemy with ice elements.
  • They had differing opinions on how they would set up the NANO/SUV blast gauge.  *He won't say how it will work at this time.
  • Time it takes to clear a mission in the mission counter
  • Multi Mode Players do not receive the same item drop.
  • Super rare items come in a rainbow colored box.
  • Collaboration items with food and drink industry.
  • Expect some kind of linkage to PSU:Aoi
  • Keep all Photon Arts you have ever learned.

PSPo:2 Guess the Enemy!

So let's play a little game! Can you guess what enemy this is?  Sakai updated his blog today, he says that he remade Phantasy Star Online monsters. Hmm.. Maybe that is a clue. Also, expect an interview to appear in Dengeki Magazine today. I'm sure Shougai PSO will cover it.

Delicious DVD!

This DVD appeared on Ebay. According to the seller, it contains promotional footage for video game retailers to put on display.  It does not contain any game software. Apparently it is not for sale, I'm not sure if SEGA will take action.
