Still on vacation in a new location! This morning Sakai, our fearless leader, wrote a new post ALL about Nagisa. For now her full name is just Nagisa. You can always click on ALL images to see a larger view.

Nagisa

Nagisa is 18 years old belonging to a new race called the Dumans. She may be polite but she lacks common sense, which can make things go sour unintentionally. It's not that she does this on purpose, she doesn't really mean any harm.  The reason she is this way is because she's been fighting all of her life.

Her purpose is to complete a very big mission, this will be revealed within Story Mode.

Nagisa Design

Nagisa was designed by the talented Mizuno. She had to have three specific characteristics; black hair, a uniform, and eye patch. Her design was meant to use a  monochromatic contrast, given that she has black hair and pale white skin while wearing a white uniform and black leggings.

The Yin and Yang aspects come to play in regards to Nagisa and Emilia. Emilia represents the Yang side of light and positivity. Nagisa represents the Yin side of dark and shadows.

 

Steel Hearts

Nagisa's sword Steel Hearts

スティールハーツ Steel Hearts is Nagisa's signature sword.  Near the handle there is a trigger which sets off a carousel of photon bullets located at the handle end of the sword. When you pull the trigger, the photon will shoot out like a jet at the bottom. You can see this concept at the bottom right hand corner.  This concept will be shown in a new FMV sequence.

Hi still on vacation, here's a small post about Infinity Blast. If you recall the scan post, there was a section regarding Infinity Blast where it has 4 effects based on your battle type.

Infinity Blast

Shougai PSO has added some information within this month's Gemaga Magazine. (Scan Pending). Infinity Blasts are available at Level 10. They are usable only for a limited time, however you can extend it by performing a "Chain Combo." This is essentially attacking an enemy continuously for as long as you can.

Based on your battle type (Hunter, Ranger, Force, or Vanguard) the type of attack can change. If you are a Hunter, your Infinity Blast will be that of holding a one handed sword and attacking at a close range. If you are a Ranger, your Infinity Blast will be that of a laser beam that shoots enemies.

 

PSP2 Contents

Sakai makes a post about the meaning of PSP2 Infinity. The name means that it will break the usual limits set in place within the series, so that you can continue to play this game endlessly. (You can see this system within Reincarnation, though it sounds like more features will be breaking other limits…)

All contents of Phantasy Star Portable 2 are within Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. This includes Story, Mission, and Items, etc. This allows for all contents of PSP2 save data to carry over to PSP2 Infinity. This includes your character's appearance, level, all your items in possession and shared storage, titles, any data you can think of carries over.  Infinity will of course include enough content that is equal to that of a new game.

All Download Item Data for Phantasy Star Portable 2, will carry over to Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. You do not need to purchase the items again.

Save Data Transferring

You can import various Phantasy Star games into Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. Some of these methods work just like before, so refer to the original importing link at the sidebar.

• PSP2i Demo to PSP2i Full: ALL DATA TRANSFERS
• PSP2 Full to PSP2i (Demo or Full) ALL DATA TRANSFERS and you get 5 Fusion Codes
• PSP1 to PSP2i (Demo or Full)  You get Exam Saber and 1 Visual Module.
• PSU to PSP2i (Demo or Full) You get Exam Saber and 1 Visual Module.

Note: If you are transferring PSU or PSP1 to Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity, they work exactly the same way as it did when you transferred to PSP2. Please refer to this post concerning the original data that transfers over.

*Fusion Codes are used to synthesize weapons. When you synthesize the same mutual weapons, the attribute percentage improves.

Official Site

The official site is now open with a new logo and 6 videos. The 6 videos aren't particularly showing anything new except for the Dumans. Most of the footage was taken from PSPo2, including scenes from its story mode and party list. So far these videos are for users to catch up to speed with PSP2's mechanics and universe.

 

The Infinity Blog

The PSPo2 blog has now upgraded to Infinity and will be covering information regarding the game. So far Rapiko made a somewhat cryptic blog post about the new information.

Rapiko says Friend Search is the THIRD network function among Multiplayer Mode and Online Multiplayer Mode. It requires your PSP to come in contact with another PSP. During this mode, data will be transmitted. Rapiko also says Infinity presents itself with the concept of breaking limits. Where one can play this game endlessly. (I'm sure this is referring to Reincarnation.)
