And Now A Message from Kakka 閣下

First I'll begin with a big  "Thank you very much!" I want to Thank all the people who were involved with the making this weapon. I had no idea I'd have an impact on Phantasy Star Portable 2 in this way. It was a pleasure to come up with this weapon after going through lots of ideas. I hope you all use this special championship axe as well as Ringo's weapon.

This was the first time I've ever played any game within the Phantasy Star Series, but my first impression on it that it was easy to play and enjoy. This game is enjoyable thanks to Internet Multimode which made it easy to connect with party members. And now I was able to partner up with Ringo for Little Wing Grand Prix. I will continue to play Little Wing Grand Prix.

Sakai Says: When coming up with the creation of this weapon, we went with a similar view of two specific weapons. Former President Dallgun's head was used in a weapon known as the  Dallgun Rod ダルガン・ロッド. Then Laia's face was used in another weapon known as the Laia Axe ライアアックス. So we used the same concept by using Kakka's face on the weapon, in a style similar to the Karsh clan on Moatoob.

You can use his face as a weapon!

 

And Now a Message from Ringo♪

So I want to talk frankly about how the item came to be… We decided upon the concept after the finals and I am satisfied and astounded by the results very much. This item was stuffed with ideas from Sakai, Suganuma, Kimura, Kakka, Captain T, and I. I'm glad to be able to run around with this weapon in Gurhal! Please use it! Thanks to Internet Multimode and LWGP I was able to meet up with Kakka, considering we live in different areas. I want to say Thanks to Sakai! PSpo2 is a game where you can connect person to person.

I hope that LWGP can continue for a second and third time, and that more events can be brought up with Phantasy Star.

Sakai Says:  Ringo did an impressive job answering questions during the interview smoothly. Since his character name was Apple♪ [林檎♪], we thought there might be some fixation towards apples, so we decided on making a weapon around that theme. However, he wanted to create a "cool double saber" and was worried about bringing together his idea with this type of weapon. The item came to be a cut up apple with a beam within the middle area.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 outfits arrives in PSU Japan

Ricardo Leave a comment

It's another week and another Maximum Attack Cross mission! This time we're playing in Ryucross so expect a lot of tra– I mean obstacles that will be in your way. Expect to see a familiar character from PSU and PSP1. You should try out both the A and S versions of the mission to see different characters. This week, the points from both PSU and PSPo2 will accumulate towards the elemental attribute percentage of the butterfly like "Chou Hi" [チョウ・ヒー] weapon. (The Hi is pronounced as "Hee")

Achieve a value of 26,000,000 points to increase the attribute rate.  The bonus area will unlock pretty soon as well. As you can see in the screen shot above, since the MAX attack missions have been reduced in difficulty, the point value for the second week increased 5 million over the target.

Read on for more information about Maximum Attack X.

 

Phantasy Star Universe

Phantasy Star Universe Japan recently added a slew of outfits from Phantasy Star Portable 2. They are available in the GC Gachan. So if you ever wanted to see how the outfits look in high definition here ya go!

Maximum Attack X Cross Event: PSU and Phantasy Star Portable 2

Ricardo 3 Comments

Maximum Attack X -Cross-

The Twitters woke me up with a brand new cross promotion event that spans both Phantasy Star Universe Japan and Phantasy Star Portable 2. The story behind the event is the mysterious "Simulator Ark" that was discovered in a RELICS site. Solving these mysteries may help save the future of Gurhal! This event ties into a side story that connects both games. Each game will contribute to a total point count. This number increases the elemental percentage of 4 different types of weapons that are given as rewards.

 

Phantasy Star Portable 2 Players

PSP2 players will collect various badges through the event. These badges can be exchanged for outfits and weapons that presumably Bruce's Wandering Peddler was supposed to give out before it was canceled. You can exchange the badges within the マキシマムアタック クロス交換所 Maximum Attack Cross Clearing House. New items are available for exchange at set intervals. A bonus area will unlock based on the amount of points everyone contributes to.

Ethan, Laia, Magashi outfits are available!

 

Phantasy Star Universe Players

As for PSU players, there will be four types of weapons, but only one type will be available each week. To obtain these weapons, you have to participate in the event! The elemental attribute rate of each weapon can be strengthened in cooperation with PSP2. PSU players are tasked with collecting Data Chips, while transferring information to the Ark Simulator. Apparently the Ark  will evolve, and it's "Spiral labyrinth" will change it in different ways.

The GMs MAX Girls and Boys are giving out various presents to those who participate in the event. Presents are dropped at the end of the mission, so you must clear space in your inventory to obtain them. Free Course players can also receive the presents!
