Most of Phantasy Star Portable 2's characters have been introduced already, but, wait a minute a new character?
Meet Bask
Meet Bask!
According to Sakai, the character you'll meet first is HIM, not Emilia… He's a skilled mercenary hired by Little Wing. He's voiced by Joji Nakata. You'll see him and other NPCs walking around Clad 6. Sakai also wants you to talk to the NPCs on Clad 6. They will provide you with useful information, and tutorials.
Character Editing Changes
One of the biggest complaints in regards to Phantasy Star Universe, was how you could not change your body proportions and body suit after you've made your character. They gave some silly excuse like the game software couldn't handle it, but…
NOW YOU CAN!
In this new option for the makeup counter, you can customize your skin color, body suit, and body proportions. Sakai did not want to reveal details of the pricing cost but he did say it was very expensive!
Now you can make a Loli without restarting…
Blog Updates 9/12/09
New Famitsu on Thursday with details of new characters and braver class.
New Collaboration announcement (it better be Pizza Hut…)
The official site updated yesterday which pretty much is a rehash of information already released. It's kind of sad to see how the official site has less information than the official blog, but to make this worth your while, we'll insert minor new details.
New Characters
Chelsea! My Age is a Secret ♪
Chelsea, the receptionist and accountant of Little Wing. She's a very hard worker, but it's very easy to misunderstand what she's saying due to her strange intonation. She has been acquainted with Emilia for a looong time, you could say Chelsea is like her big sister…
Ursula Rollan, 32 years old.
Ursula embodies intelligence and beauty, and is very talented amongst various fields of work. However, she had to sacrifice her private life due to her busy work schedule. She has known Crouch and Emilia before the establishment of Little Wing.
New Items
Many new items will appear in the game. It's said that the game has more than 2000 items, and over 1200 weapons. Some of these include:
Svaltia Tomahawk (Axe)
Nightmare Dust (Twin Claw)
Dilan Slayer (Sword)
Nanoblasts
In addition to the 4 main nanoblasts, three new versions will be added. Kill monsters quickly with the new gold and silver nanoblast. A new berserk "Onyx Black" nanoblast can be activated under a certain condition.
You will unlock nanoblasts by surpassing a certain level. The first nanoblast that is available to you at Level 10 is the "speed" and "defense" forms. At higher levels you will unlock the gold and silver versions, which has a chance of unlocking the black version. For more information read here.

The weird and wacky Yoshio Sawai creates some exclusive items for PSP2. The outfit "Platinum Tiger" and weapon "Angry Roasting marshmallow" will make it's appearance in the game. Expect more collaboration from manga artists to be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
Alternate Opening Theme
Remember when Sakai said the opening theme in "PSP: The Best" will be slightly different? Mike from Pso-world posted the opening movie on his youtube account. Check it out and leave a comment! Thanks Mike. (… maybe we can convince him to post parts of the PSU Chronicle Movie…)
Fun Fan 3 was released today, so in our usual case, here are the videos on youtube for all to enjoy.
Video features a huge snowball, new nanoblasts, new enemies, the item trader, and more. Most of this stuff was already covered here.
Noto and Dragon Sakai play through PSO's forest. Watch as their partner characters Toro and Kuro play with them. Sakai also says that if you do a lobby action in front of a partner character, they will react to it.
The official site updated today as well, we'll go through that later on but it's basically a rehash of information. However you can see more higher resolutions of the PSO enemies, and the nanoblasts.
