Sega Announces Phantasy Star Portable 2 "PSP The Best", Ambition of Illuminus Free on Xbox Live

Ricardo Leave a comment

Today's major announcement but I'm sure you saw it coming, Phantasy Star Portable 2 "PSP The Best" will be released on Japan's shorelines on August 26, 2010.  This announcement will hopefully put to rest fears about the product code expiring.

To recap, if you have imported PSPo2, you must register your product code  on the Japanese Playstation Store before December 3rd, 2010. However, you may alternatively wait for PSPo2 "The Best" version which may or may not have a product code expiration date. Though if you are waiting that long you might as well get the English version for NA/EU expected to be released Fall 2010. (Unofficial US date 9/14/2010)

 

What's new in PSPo2 THE BEST?

"The Best" version of the game is equivalent to "Greatest Hits" in English speaking territories. However, instead of just a lower price, the game will come equipped with two new weapons as well as a sheet that lists each and every Vision Phone Password which has magically appeared on this site.

ウィングスパーダ＆ウィングスクード

Purchasers will receive Wing Spada and Wing Scudo product codes!

Notice 6/30/2010

There is an issue where the PSP shuts off during gameplay. This issue occurs to some users in Internet Multimode when the party is disbanded.  The current workaround for this issue, all members in the party (other than the leader) should leave first and return to the title menu. The leader should then disband the party. This issue is under current investigation.

  • Can't connect to Internet Multimode? Remember to update your PSP firmware to 6.30.
  • Gamestop has changed the release date for US version of PSPo2 9/14/2010.

PSPo2: Sakai Does America, Knights, RAPPY of Hope

Ricardo Leave a comment

A few days ago Sakai made a brief post about his trip to America. Yes, seriously I had no idea he even went to E3. Would have been a fun if someone interviewed him! While he's recovering from jetlag he posted a few pictures of his trip.

Sakai visits the Phantasy Star Portable 2 booth where he says the GM of PSU explains details about the game. Is that Edward? Why is his face blurred?

Sakai also went around Los Angeles and took a picture with the "Hollywood Sign" as a backdrop. If you want to see more of his picture you can visit his blog.

Knights of Steel Flowers

The Knights of Steel Flowers have been released on the Japanese Playstation Network Store. Sakai released some screenshots so you can get a better look at them before you take the plunge.

RAPPY of Hope

Room Item: The Rappy Of Hope

Back when Sega displayed the winners of the fanart contest. I was checking out 2ch to see if they got the joke behind the "RAPPY" art. I don't think they fully understood it but they thought the artwork was great, and Shougai loved the second place winner.

 

Room Item: Memoir of a Legend

This poster should add a very nice touch to the rooms of the original Phantasy Star fans.

 

PSU Japan

PSU Japan is having their very own beginners week, hoping to help new players learn the ropes of the game with special guide members as well as EXP Boost and mission point boost.
