The purpose of this post is to address basic frequently asked questions about obtaining a copy and the status of the game.

You may notice that the size is much less than the Japanese version. This is likely due to the lack of voice acting in text scenes.
In order to play Phantasy Star Portable 2 online, you need to insert your online activation code within the Playstation Store. Please create a Playstation Store account on your PSP to get started. At the top of the screen select the (12 pencil) icon which lists for "Redeem Code". Your code is listed on a card within your game's case. This code is for exclusive use with "Phantasy Star 2 Portable." Whoops…

You can transfer all your items and character data from the PSP2 Demo to the full game. Yes all of your titles, weapons, shared storage, and characters will transfer over. You can additionally import your Phantasy Star Portable 1 character to the game to receive the Exam saber which has a freeze status effect, and one of four auras.
It is recommended to play Story Mode for as long as you can before heading online. Story Mode unlocks items you can purchase at the store, some of which are essential for Vangaurds. I received my copy from Gamestop today around 5PM. The clerk had no idea what the game was and asked if I wanted to reserve it. It took around 10 minutes before they finally found their one copy in stock! So I'll see you guys online later tonight.
- Additional changes from the Japanese version.
- The option to import DLC weapons and costumes has been removed from the Import Screen.
