Phantasy Star Universe: Our Item Design Contest 2010 Favorites

Hello, today we highlight our favorite Item Design Contest items for 2010. The designs SEGA selects as winners will move on to become actual items in Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Infinity. The clothes and weapons selected below has nothing to do with the ones SEGA will choose. We are just merely highlighting the ones we like. These designs are owned by their respective owners and Sega.

Sega plans to reveal the winners sometime in the future. There's also another Item Design contest going on at Nico Nico which we'll cover later on.

This time we are picking the final week's entries. You can view our 1st and 2nd week picks in this previous post.  You can also add comments to the outfits below or recommend an outfit that doesn't appear on this list.

 

Clothes and Parts

Save This Life!  {Selected Finalist}

So take my hand, We need to SAVE THIS LIFE!

Save This Life is a medic outfit that includes accessories of a stethoscope, a rock climber's rope harness, and boots. Rescue Squad and Military color variations also included. The Nanotranser is located on the shoulder, and the line shield  is located at the jacket's tails and on the knee caps.

Ricardo says, "Rescue me!"

Tyreek says, "That looks quite new age modern."

Dyne says, "That's rad. Love the helmet options! Paramedic Gear."

 

Centillion Frame

Throwing  Cast proportions out the window, this Centillion Frame makes for a very unique boxy look.  The line shield runs across the body as parallel lines.

Ricardo says, "This thing looks like it wants to run you over."

Zorin says, "You gonna get raped!"

 

Western Girl {Selected Finalist}

Yes, I know, we already have a cowgirl outfit, but this costume comes equipped with a cowgirl hat and a gun harness. The Nanotranser is located as a butterfly motif on the waist area. The Line Shield color is located as a pattern on the shoulders, the butterfly logo, and the necklace.

Dyne says, "I like this because it's not ridiculously over the top detailed like PSU outfits were. "

Ricardo says, "They need to upgrade that person to main character status. I imagine a rival for Chelsea."

Tyreek says, "It's rough, its sexy, its… Battle Ready. Make it happen!"

 

Slide to Nights

A sleek and stylish uniform made as three separate parts. The line shield follows the design of the vest itself including the belt, and lines around the pant's bottom.

Ricardo says, "It's like executors uniform, but i like the professionalism and modernism this outfit gives."

Zorin says, "This could even be gender neutral. Looks professional and slick."

 

Dimension Butler {Selected Finalist}

An outfit for that everyday girl with a kawaii sense of fashion. Dimension Butler comes with a plush toy and the line shield flows down the sides and center of the jacket. The hoody gives off that neko style.

Ricardo, "It's that hoody that makes it win."

Zorin says, "A whole new meaning to the word 'catsuit'."

 

Honorable Mentions
Tattoo TattooSet

The purpose behind this muscle bruiser outfit is to show off different tattoos in each color variation. This includes tattoos of the nanoblast pattern, Moatoobian text, and chest hair. The line shield is located on the pant's leg and on the belt.

 

Honorable Mentions
Fallen AngelV GStyle

A gothic lolita outfit with angel wings. Tightly buckled from head to toe with black garters. The line shield is located within the angel wings as a logo.

Shared Storage Box Increased in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity

Hi guys, quick early morning update. Yesterday Sakai asked if your Shared Storage Box was full, today he made an announcement regarding that.

The total item count for Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity is around 3000, but where are you going to store it all?

It appears when creating this game, there is a a limited amount of memory for storing data. If the game exceeds this memory limit, it can come to a complete stop. When you increase the size of the Shared Storage box, it also increases the size of the save data. So due to the magic of programming, the Shared Storage Box capacity has increased from 1000 to 2000.

He also mentions there's a way you can stop selling items accidentally, (which we all know as the item lock feature.)

Additional Comments

You see them squiggly lines at the bottom right corner? It says Episode 1. Could this mean portions of the game are separated from each episode?

  • Phantasy Star Portable 2 Japan has put up a notice today on how they will be banning players who violated the terms of conduct through hacking and user misconduct.

 

PSU Japan

I haven't even looked at PSU Japan in quite some time. They are getting DLC items that were previously exclusive for PSP2 Japan. Also expect to see a PSO10th Anniversary event down the line. Click for larger images.

Sega Announces Phantasy Star Portable 2 "PSP The Best", Ambition of Illuminus Free on Xbox Live

Today's major announcement but I'm sure you saw it coming, Phantasy Star Portable 2 "PSP The Best" will be released on Japan's shorelines on August 26, 2010.  This announcement will hopefully put to rest fears about the product code expiring.

To recap, if you have imported PSPo2, you must register your product code  on the Japanese Playstation Store before December 3rd, 2010. However, you may alternatively wait for PSPo2 "The Best" version which may or may not have a product code expiration date. Though if you are waiting that long you might as well get the English version for NA/EU expected to be released Fall 2010. (Unofficial US date 9/14/2010)

 

What's new in PSPo2 THE BEST?

"The Best" version of the game is equivalent to "Greatest Hits" in English speaking territories. However, instead of just a lower price, the game will come equipped with two new weapons as well as a sheet that lists each and every Vision Phone Password which has magically appeared on this site.

ウィングスパーダ&ウィングスクード

Purchasers will receive Wing Spada and Wing Scudo product codes!
