PSP2i DLC Item: Border Break

July 8, 2011July 11, 2011 Ricardo 8 Comments

PSU Character Import Service to End!

On August 11th, 2011, the ability to import a character from the Japanese version of Phantasy Star Universe into the Japanese version of Phantasy Star Portable/Phantasy Star Portable 2/Infinity will end. You can still acquire the title, "Former Guardian" by importing your PSP1 save into PSP2/PSP2i.

Another set of hard to translate names due to German influences. It's almost like PSO2 in PSP2i. Border Break is a Japanese Exclusive Arcade game featuring multiple robots battling each other. These items will release 7/14/2011.

Speaking of PSO2, in that email she sent, apparently Bonkohara wanted to show the "Character Make" screen but Sakai said no, that feature can't be shown until ______. (Yes she censored it.)

This left 2ch speculating:

ID:qZTiy7YO キャラメイクはTGSか…αテストはキャラ固定ってことかな
Character Make screen at TGS? Alpha Test characters might be uneditable (fixed)?

ID:t3mWp+Ok αはデフォルトキャラでプレイって可能性も
In the alpha test there's a possibility we could play as default characters.

Sorry there's no way to know for sure officially when Sakai wants to show that screen at this time.

Phantasy Star Online 2: RAmarl RAcast (Development Screenshots)

July 7, 2011September 26, 2011 Ricardo 18 Comments

Today Bonko, an assistant producer for Phantasy Star Online 2 released a mass email showcasing the under development screenshots for some of the races.

RAmarl wearing her military-like outfit.

Although it was somewhat vague, Bonko mentioned how previously, the way she held guns were kinda unique, but "this time (in/at) _____ she can do different actions". (So what different actions can rangers do? Apparently this time in close combat, rangers can launch grenade shells from their assault rifles)

RAcast in his "box-like form"

Bonko mentioned this robo type character has a deep connection to PSO. Then she omitted parts of the sentence, "Now, not only can he walk but he can ____ and sometimes ____" Bonko said you'll just have to deal with the censorship until information is released.

RAcast holding a gun.

Bonko とは?

It's possible their name is actually, Miho Bonkohara, it's the only person I could find that worked during PSO Ep1 and 2 and Samba De Amigo who shares a similar name.
