PSP2i: The Final Area?

Ricardo 7 Comments

Today Shougai uncovered in the latest Famitsu, a brand new area. This area may presumably be the final area for Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity's Story Mode. This makes our current count of new areas up to 3 or more. The new field is dubbed, " 空を舞う旧文明の遺産" "The Ancient's Legacy circling the sky," [Tentative Name] Or you could say it hovers above in the sky.

A new field that hovers in the skies above.

 

Mil Lily enemies stand in your way.

As this new field has an appearance of an airship, we can only speculate that it may possibly be that hollow "pioneer-like" ship as seen in the story promo trailer. Based on current screenshots it looks like you will fight PSO enemies here.

Ricardo 1 Comment

Sega kicked off the first in a series of National Fan Thanks Festa to celebrate Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.

Go Watch!

See Another!

Instead of translating other player's experiences with Olga Flow, you can just watch the video for yourself! Japanese video game news companies are competing in the Mini Mini Infinity Grand Prix 2nd Stage. Who will be the ultimate winner? Tune in to find out!

Also on the 17th page of P-SPEC, a fanzine that was sold at the Thanks Festa. Shougai uncovered a small tidbit about  the music for Phantasy Star Online 2. According to Sakai, "…Of course, the BGM changes when you enter into battle (laughs)" So the revival of BGM transition music is expected to reappear in PSO2.

P-SPECに書いてある酒井の話の要点を教えてやる

敵の総称はPSU以降モンスターだったがエネミーに戻そうと思ってる
Enemies in PSU were given the term, "Monster," we're considering restoring [the term] "Enemy".

お前らには冒険を味わってもらいたいから舞台は知りすぎたラグオルじゃない、どっかでラグオルと繋がってる世界だがな
Because I want you to taste  [new] adventure, the stage is not set in Ragol which you are already too familiar with. Although, somewhere in this world,  there may be a connection to Ragol.

戦闘に入るとBGM変わる
When entering battle, the BGM changes.
