Phantasy Star Portable 2: Meet Sayo, Vision Phone, Telephone Cards

Meet Sayo

pay her money

Sayo Yuhki!

Meet Sayo Yuhki, of "Faith Healer Sayo" a religion of sorts, she's a shrine maiden, just as in Shitenkaku. Does the name Sayo Yuhki sound familiar to you? Probably not, but in this case Sayo Yuhki is actually a collaboration character from another game known as "Shikigami no Shiro", take a wild guess who developed this game…   Sayo Yuhki is voiced by Ayako Kawasumi.

 

HP 15 percent

Sayo will perform "prayers" on your character for the right price! When the leader of the party receives a prayer, this effect will apply to the whole party. In this case it appears she may pray for 15% HP or even a rare drop rate boost. (Recall the previous post where Sakai was talking about a "system" that applied to the whole party…)

Unfortunately "Faith Healer Sayo" services are not ready for the high demands of the demo community and will not appear until the retail version.

Telephone and Book Cards

Lumia and Emilia

Emilia and Lumia are friends!
(Ya right… Lumia was pissed with Emilia when she mentioned Ethan..)

These cards can be obtained by various shops when you pre order the game. (Thanks Neo). Now you can show how otaku you are with these fancy telephone cards. Although I have to say the characters look a bit too close for comfort..

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Main Character Clothes, My Room and Partner Machinery Details, Vivienne?

Ricardo Leave a comment

Sakai updated today with another question and answer session. Let's go through some of them.

 

Main Character Clothes

Yuto outfit

A hugely requested feature, now you'll be able to wear the main character clothes, as you can see in both pictures. The male is wearing Yuto's outfit whereas the female is wearing a color variation of Emilia's outfit.

Go all Gothic with Emilia's outfit.

 

My Room and Partner Machinery

vision phone 2

There isn't that many changes to My Room if you've been following PSU:AoI. My room is a feature where you can decorate and remodel using a "reform ticket". Both features can be accessed through your Partner Machinery. Unfortunately you will not be able to use a "Move Pass" (this is a feature in PSU:AoI where you can move your room to another planet.) Sakai will go into more details tomorrow about your "Vision Phone."

my room no reform

Sakai has greatly enhanced the amount of Partner Machinery available. Now you will get about 60 different types. You can evolve some of them by either purchasing evolution devices in stores or obtaining it through some other means.

Partner Machinery has the following options:

  • My Room Tutorial
    Read a tutorial on the functions of your room.
  • PM Function
    Allow your PM to evolve with an evolution device.
  • Reform My Room
    Change the look of your room with a "Reform Ticket"
  • Room Goods Management
    Customize your room, you can turn this option on or off.
  • Jukebox Management
    Play Background musicin your room by obtaining various Jukebox Discs.

 

Rare Drop Boost

Previously the Drop Boost rate of items and meseta were increased based on which title you attached. In PSP2, both of these systems are now implemented as an "ability" in the ability customize system. The ability applies to each respective player.  There is also another system that handles the rare drop boost, based on the leader, this effect will attach to the whole party. It sounds as if the leader has the option of turning this on or off.

As for Drop Rate increases, it was noted that in PSP1, certain items stopped appearing, but he says not to worry about this in PSP2.

Will Vivienne Appear?

Sorry, Sakai blurred it out…
