Phantasy Star Portable 2: Now we can all play Little Wing Grand Prix

Ricardo Leave a comment

What Will Sakai Do Next Part 4

This time Sakai was quoted again about PSO's 10th Anniversary. It's another minor quote but it opens up for some more speculation. "Following the previous "Phantasy star Portable", since many are enjoying it at this time. For the next work, I want to expand (or widen) more of the user base. There's still some way to go, though it's still in the "thinking" stages. Please wait while your playing Phantasy Star Portable 2 (Laughs)."

Sakai also says they will continue to release new quests and download items for PSP2 in the future. I guess from this it could mean the next game would appeal to more casual as well as hardcore gamers? Or maybe it will be easier to play and gets more strategic later on?

Little Wing Grand Prix

Finally, Sakai will be releasing the Little Wing Grand Prix mission for all players. In case you didn't know, Little Wing Grand Prix is a tournament where two players would compete for the fastest time. The tournament is now officially over, however Sakai had to release this mission early and had to push back the "Gamega" Collaboration Mission further down. Everyone will be able to participate in not one but TWO missions from the event. These missions are very short but the point is to try and time attack them anyway.

 

LWG1stステージ

Seguntal doesn't understand the meaning of crowd surfing…

FIRST STAGE: The first stage will take place in the abandoned ruins, here you will fight Go Vahra and Astarks, at the end you will fight Fazuntal and Seguntal as a boss. Your personal goal should be to complete this mission within 4 minutes, the fastest time recorded was 2 minutes and 13 seconds.

 

LWG2ndステージ

SECOND STAGE: In this stage you will run through PSO Caves, and will defeat Poison Lilly and Pal Sharks. PSO Dragon will be waiting for you at the end. Your personal goal should be to complete this mission within 4 minutes, the fastest time recorded was 2 minutes and 57 seconds.

These are CHALLENGE Missions, however you can choose the combat type at the start of the mission. All players will be fixed at Level 50. With a time attack challenge in mind, you might want to reach the boss at the 1 minute mark. However the time it takes to defeat the boss will just be based on SKILL and LUCK. These challenge missions are available 3/10/10

 

LWG3rdステージ

THIRD STAGE: In this stage you will run through Forgotten Fortress, and will fight the final boss. Your personal goal should be to complete this mission within 5 minutes, the fastest time recorded was 3 minutes 18 seconds.

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Moyashimon and Jump Mission

Ricardo Leave a comment

Well we have several new features coming up this week. This includes the Moyashimon Visual Unit and 邪王降臨 collaboration mission.

 

What's New?

The "Jump 邪王降臨" mission follows the theme of "friends saving friends." In this mission, you rescue the three Naura sisters! As you play there will be several gimmicks to impede your victory! At the end of the mission you will fight the rare boss "Olga Dyran."  It appears this mission will play similar to "The Big Push", where you must protect the sisters from receiving damage.

This mission will be very difficult, but Sakai describes it also as DELICIOUS, because of the rare drops! It appears the previous Shonen Jump collaboration weapons will drop in this mission. Now you'll be able to obtain those weapons with different elemental percentages. Download this mission on 2/24/10.

 

Moyashimon World

The Moyashimon World Aura Unit will release on 2/23/10. You can obtain it by inputting a special password in the Vision Phone located in your room!

  • Several new Evangelion DLC outfits will release sometime soon
  • Obtain your 3 Extend Codes by playing Maximum Attack's Exchange Mission in Story Mode.
  • Server Maintenance 2/24/10

 

Whats Next For Sakai Part 2 *

Shougai PSO posted a minor minor update about the next game in the Phantasy Star Series. In a recent Dengeki article, Sakai comments, "Phantasy Star Portable 2 can be seen as a compilation of the Phantasy Star Universe Series. Therefor, I think that next [game] will be a new "leap" for the series. As for [making] the Phantasy Star Series, "challenging" is one of the concepts. So there's an opinion that we should just make a console version of PSP2, however, I think that this [new] thing should be something more different from that. I want to not only draw in new players, but also deliver a game that older fans can approve of."

Shougai PSO speculates that a brand new game for the Phantasy Star Series is in development. They speculate the new game will not be the "Gurhal" series of PSP2, since he stated it will be "different thing" but may draw upon the flow of PSO's "Ragol Series", since he stated it would be a game the older fans approve of.

I would say from all of  this, this next game will be completely new, just as PSZero was, but may follow some older traditions that we've come to love throughout our years of playing Phantasy Star.

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Maximum Attack Little Wing Extended, Hatsune Miku VN02 + Clad 6 Shopping Uniform DLC

Ricardo Leave a comment

Actual News

Finally some actual news that has nothing to do with Emilia being nude. A few brand new download content items are heading this way. This includes the long awaited Hatsune Miku VN02 outfit! Plus you can now wear the EDEN uniforms from the shopkeepers of Clad 6. As always you can only download these outfits from the Japanese Playstation Store.  CFW users can not use CWCheat codes to obtain the outfits. (Think about why you can't for a second…)

Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup has been extended due to popular demand. The new final date is now February 19th, 2010. Did you know that if we all achieve  a total kill count of 10,000,000 we'll all receive 3 Extend Codes? That's right! Three extend codes! Why bother completing all the challenge missions when you can get them for free! Extend Codes allow players to upgrade weapons of any grade to S grade. You can even embed the weapon with a special ability like Freeze. It will also have a shiny glimmering effect when you take it out.

Plus, the last "water" route opened up a few days ago and gives out the EX tickets. Please refer to the previous post on the cost per exchange items.

After completion of the Maximum Attack Little Wing Cup, Multimode players will now be able to access ALL routes on their own; Extend codes will also be distributed.

Sakai mentions that there was some dissatisfaction with the way this event was handled. He hopes to use our opinions to make future events even better!

The next download mission will include a new collaboration with Jump Magazine's  "邪王降臨" that concludes with the battle of the rare boss known as Olga Dyran.

PSUBlog's general FAQ is slowly growing but we need more questions, please post a comment preferably at the bottom of this post asking simple general questions to the game for example,  "How to unlock and play Megashi Eradication mission." or "How to get online after purchasing the game."

PSU Japan Phishing

On January 21st, 2010 Phantasy Star Universe Japan was hit with a phishing attempt on a Chinese domain name. The url was reported to be passed around various message boards and emails. The actual site clearly mocks the login elements of the official site even going as far to include CAPTCHA to lure unsuspecting users to the site.   The news was first posted by The Council of Anti-Phishing Online.

Online Character Data

A new character data chart was posted on the official blog yesterday.

  • Females are the most popular sex.
  • Humans then Casts makes the most popular race.
  • Hunters then Bravers are the most popular classes.
  • Forces dropped from 10% to 8% since the game's release.
  • Rangers dropped from 18% to 15% since the game's release.

Notice how the Forces make up for only 8% of total players. Why do you think less people are interested in playing as a force? Please fix this Sakai.
