Another somewhat jam packed update. This time we'll go through 2 brand new collaborations and yet another Fanta collab. Also we'll take a look at the concept character artwork for "Amelia" (wink wink.)
Kentaro Yabuki of "To Love-Ru" brings us the 6th manga collaboration. The outfit is called "Magical Princess" and the weapon is "EcoEco Stick-kun". Oh my, this outfit is even more revealing than the Casino Voloyal set.
It sure looks magical…
If you are like Kraz and can't get enough of looking at bikini clad women while you're supposed to be working…. Gravure Japan Grandprix models will make an appearance as pinup posters you can place in your room!
Nene Matsuoka as well as four other bikini models will use their seductive poses to trap you inside your room. Sakai also mentions how Emilia and Lumia might appear in bikinis as well. You can obtain these posters by inputting a password which will be revealed December 3rd in a Young Jump magazine (of all places…)
Only in Japan, 13 yr olds pose in bikinis…

Fanta is back, but this time in a collaboration mission called Fanta Quiz Battle!. This "extra mission" can be downloaded for yours to keep! It's a quiz mission where 1 to 4 players compete and must answer questions related to Fanta. In addition, the Athletic Chance is a field where you must avoid several traps to reach the goal. The scan also shows off the showtime room reform ticket where players can buzz in and answer questions.

The Chevalier Fluge parts for Casts can be downloaded December 9th.
The development of Emilia. Artwork by Mizuno.
Did you know, Emilia's original name was "Amelia"? (Ironically, when we translated the first Famitsu scan of PSPo2 we called her "Amelia".) The name was eventually changed to Emilia for whatever reason. Emilia's signature "wing" can be seen on all three concepts. They decided to keep the nanotranser on her leg for the final version.
In the next stage of concepts, Sakai found that having a sad heroine was kind of difficult to advance the story. He decided her character description should be, "a typical careless girl, who doesn't want to reveal the truth about her past." Thus Sakai transformed Emilia again, removing the grim sad look upon her face.
In Phantasy Star Universe, the color "blue" was used to represent the Guardians. To contrast this, Emilia has a red outfit. Mizuno also added little headphones with wings to the outfit. At this time it was still undecided on how the hairstyle should be.
They went through several different hairstyles before finally deciding upon the final one.
Emilia of course still has that strange secret seen in the demo and the opening movie. Her body has line patterns when "something" happens to her…
What is the true purpose of this transformation?
Sakai hopes to show the concepts of other characters. but it appears those may be featured in a future art book. However we do have one other art concept to show you.
Magashi is back in Phantasy Star Portable 2 under a side story mission. It appears he has replaced his old body with a new one.
The old Magashi is left to rot…
- Chelsea's original name was Sandy.
