It appears their Protists (that huge squid named "Jelis") and the machinery that is supposed to keep them in check are both running amok.

When you die, a grave site will appear. As you redo the mission, you can click on the grave site and it will randomly receive a recovery item like a monomate.

On the grave site, there will be a last will and testament including the date of death. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

 Phantasy Star Portable 2 | August 20th, 2009

This seems to follow Sega's new marketing campaign. Every time they are about to announce a new game, they place a teaser site with a character silhouette in the background. The first two were revealed to be a WiiWare title and a Nintendo DS title.

The last teaser campaign ended up into another Puyo Pop sequel. This was displeasing to hopeful fans considering the character silhouette was modeled similarly to Amy from the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.
