What's Character Portrait?

  • Character Portrait is a Vita exclusive feature that allows you to take real life photographs with your Phantasy Star Online 2 character. Head to the Visiphone and select the last option ポートレート用データ保存 to save your current character into the Character Portrait feature.

1st Screenshot Criteria

  • The first screenshot is the main entry for this event.
  • You may use characters or NPC Partner characters saved to the Character Portrait feature.
  • If a person is included within the photograph, avoid taking a picture where most of the person's face and body can be seen.
  • Since Sega can not bear the responsibility of a person who refuses their likeness to be photographed, one must gain consent from the individual themselves before submitting the photo for this event.
  • You may opt to use chat bubbles or character poses within the screenshot itself.

2nd Screenshot Criteria

  • The second screenshot must include the Player ID Name above your in-game character.
