PSP2i: Old DLC Items and Missions Information

October 26, 2010October 26, 2010 Ricardo 3 Comments

Today Sakai did a question and answer session, some controversial things are said so please read the post carefully.

Question and Answer Session

Regarding OLD PSP2 Download missions…

All Phantasy Star Portable 2 Download Missions are within Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity. Maximum Attack X now has C, B, A, S, and Infinity Rank difficulty. In addition you may also see some old Phantasy Star Portable 1 Download Missions which have been modified to fit Infinity's specifications.

Old PSP2 challenge 2 Missions are included!

Regarding seeing Download items in Infinity…

If someone else in the party purchased a DLC item (free or cash) and you have not downloaded it, the item's graphics are replaced with a generic version.

Unfortunately Sakai could not come up with a method that allows those who did not purchase an item to see them. One of the major problems is how there will be those who will obtain the item illegally. This makes it unfair for those who spent money on it. Another concern is how it detrimentally affects data connection speeds.

The only good news which was announced yesterday was that all FREE download items from PSP2 can now be seen by those who did not purchase it from the Playstation Store.

Regarding obtaining download items

OLD Free DLC items from PSP2 can now be obtained in some manner within the game.

Those who purchased DLC items from PSP2, will now have them imported to PSP2i. You do not have to purchase them again.

Shougai's Interpretation

DLC items can be obtained normally like a regular item.
(Shougai Comment: A service put into place for those who don't have Internet Access?)
(Shougai Comment: Cash download items don't apply, you must still purchase the download item if you want to get it.)

Online Shop

In the lobby there is now a new menu for those who want to download new items to Infinity.

You can click on the online shop,
this takes you to the shop for the Playstation Store.

Select between Importing and Shopping.

Import weapons, import costumes, and a new menu to import "other items"

Also now you can access your common storage box at the code counter so you don't have to run all the way to the shop.

Old FREE Download Items

Sakai says, all free download items that were in PSP2 are now included in the game. So even people who did not download the free DLC, can see characters wearing them in the game.

@Rapico: On thursday a brand new collaboration announcement will be revealed on Nico Nico Live!

Additional Comments

So theoretically, if Infinity were released internationally, the game would have all those Valkyria Chronicles weapons and outfits, and End of Eternity, and all those other DLC we were promised for PSP2 but never got.

Press Images

4Gamer released an article containing a rehash of information already known about Mission Codes, Infinity Missions, and Dyla Bravas. Some of the screenshots revealed some interesting things.

Selecting Episode1 and Episode 2 at the Matching Counter?

Under the Matching Counter's "My Character" submenu, it appears you can access your storage, set the mission code, auto words, and equipment. Your character information now lists your own palette and mission code.

Here you have 3 windows for the mission code. The first window is the "Base Mission", you choose a mission code from your list which will select the field. Then you select a mission code for the "Plus Mission" which is set as the boss. In the screenshot above, the plus mission is being set. After you combine these two, you will have a result mission at the third window.

Now the third window, "Result Mission", created a new mission that combined the two mission codes.

Phantasy Star Zero Weapon, Blackhawk makes an appearance.

Terada's Corner

Hey I think this is a great header for this guy. Every Friday Terada says something and we try to figure out what he means. Fortunately for me, Terada was extremely clear today. A nicer almost straight forward post that gets to the point about…. OMG SHIZURU IN A BIKINI??

Terada talks about the "theme" behind the story. He says in Episode 1, the theme was "Family Love."
Episode 2's theme is "Being Prepared."
The Swimsuit scene is now ready to be revealed.
The Dialogue in Episode 2 changes depending on what gender you are.
(There's only one character I can think of who needs gender based dialogue… Hyu….)
