Some inconsistency with the Shonen Jump scan.
So now Hyuga is 21 years old…

Terada's Corner

Infinity Missions allows one to see a large variety of enemies (and drops..)

Oh lordy controversial stuff ahead.

• Sakai asked if he should increase the strength of the Nanoblast. Suganuma said to do it.
• Regarding this, Sakai and Lightning Suganuma read various comments and try to let the users feel close to the game.
  Terada won't just accept everything so easily, but will choose concepts that would make sense in the game.
• Infinity Missions shall make those who spend little time with the game, see a variety of enemies and items, due to it's random nature.
• Not only the sword, but the rod's swing speed has increased as well.
  

 

Gurhal Gossip!

Cross those swords!

Hiii! Gurhal Channel 5 GOSSIP SHOW! PICKUP! Today Terada had a guest spot on the Infinity Net Radio. In Terada's usual fashion of spoiling things…

• We'll find out the reason why Humans turned into Dumans. This is very integral to the story.
• Emilia and Shizuru will have dialogue together.
• Collaboration with Twin Angel. (Terada likes this)
• Wynarl and Hentai?? What? Well a perverted private scene involving Wynarl in some way..
• Episode 2 will have 3 endings. (Could be like the normal, good, and true endings… Something along those lines. )
• Dragon Sakai's race is an "Idol"
• There's a possibility an announcement of the demo sometime after the end of Jump Festa in December.

Way early of an update man.. Today Dengeki Playstation sat down to talk to Sakai about the game. He showed them the latest ROM he had in store for Infinity. Sakai says to expect a very deep article from that magazine when it releases. So this week in Famitsu we learned about Hyuga, New Technics, and new monsters. So today we are going to highlight one of them, Goron Garan (Golan Galan).

Goran Garan Opening Scene

Goran Garan is a legendary beast who is said to be worshiped in some locales. It looks like a komainu, and has 7 colored flames sprouting from its mane. He may be large but he moves with vigor.

 

It can attack you with its forefoot's toenails. Then it can release a fireball, and has an attack that runs into you with its rainbow colored flames.

 

In the early parts of the story, it stands in the way of Nagisa and the player. This may be quite a formidable opponent.

Man all those famitsu scanners have been skipping this game for the past few issues. Shougai PSO luckily obtained Famitsu early today, so we don't have to go through deciphering blurry scans today. Awww. This post is not currently finished…

 

New Technics

We have a brand new line of Technics. The "Sa" forms.

• Sabarta
  • This technic shoots out whats described as a "snowstorm" out in front of you in a straight line.
  • It can damage multiple enemies consecutively.
  • SG Comment: Like an ice version of Damgrants?
  • SG Comment: Is it Gibarta from PSO?
• Sazonde
  • A lightning technic shoots out a hollow lightning ball.
  • The lightning ball dissipates after 3 seconds.
  • You can move freely once the lightning ball shows up.
  • Enemies are launched up once they feel it.
  • Electric shock status effect
• Nagrants
  • A light technic.  It fires a laser to a locked on opponent.
  • It shoots out 5 lasers in one set.
  • SG Comment: It is unknown whether this laser is a guided missile.
  • SG Comment: It is unknown if this can hit multiple locked on enemies.

 

Friend Search

• Friend Search
  • Downloaded characters become  friend characters.
  • You acquire their registered mission code that the friend character has set.
  • Friend Search is used in Sleep and Story Mode.
  • Friend Search can store up to 5 character data at a time.
  • You would need to check these slots and make sure you have free ones available.
  • (I'm unsure but maybe you can kick characters out you don't want?)
  • You can ultimately store 32 friend characters.
• Friend Search Present
  • After Friend Search is concluded and you have them registered as Friend Characters…
  • They can be used as Partner characters. You have 32 character slots to fill these Friend Characters.
  • The friend character's status, equipment, comment, and auto words are carried over.
  • When you play with friend characters, you get a "Partnership Rating" of sorts.
  • (I'll personally call this partnership rating as it ties into PSUPedia's NPC concept.)
  • If you take them with you on missions, your partnership rating improves as you clear missions.
  • Based on the Partnership Rating, you can receive gifts from your friend characters as items or even photon arts.

 

Hyuga Ryght

Hyuga Ryght, is 20 years old, male, and a Duman. (He was mutated from a Human to Duman). He was originally in PSP1, but went unseen during the time of PSP2. Now he's back to join the fight for PSP2 Infinity. According to Shougai, he may or may not be on our side since he was seen "crossing swords" with Nagisa.

Originally Hyuga was born as a Human. For some reason, Hyuga has undergone a transformation to a Duman for the last half a year. He has accepted this new form as the Holy Light's guidance. But he was infected by the SEED in the  previous PSU episodes. Was this transformation an after effect of the SEED?

 

Enemies

Typo? I'm not sure, but the enemy that was originally called Bora Brima has changed its name to ボラ・ヴリーマ Bora Vrima (Bora Vreema). Apparently this monster was a typo. But I guess we'll know when we see the scan. The only new information was that it can shoot missiles from its shell. The path of these missiles follow a parabola line and will fall to the ground. If you look at the Shonen Jump scan you'll see these missile like objects on its back.

Additional Comments

Is it me or does Nagrants sound like it will face unfortunate implications?

…

Angelo Comments:

"Both Sa- and Na- were prefixes for techniques in the classic games, although like how Gi- and Ra- don't really refer to power tiers anymore (not since PSO) the usage here is different too.

If "Sa" was tacked onto the beginning of a technique name it meant it targeted the party instead of just a single target. (Resta vs. Saresta/Sar, and so on.)

There actually was a Nagrants in Phantasy Star II. (It became "Nathu" in the US version to fit in the space.) Na- in PSII is basically equivalent to Ra- in IV and Online: the third "tier" tech. (The US version of IV kept the "Na" prefix. It had Ragrants.) The PSP2i description for it is rather interesting as Grants series in II and IV were (single) lasers that fired out of the main character's hand." [@Angelo]
