Phantasy Star Online 2 still for Windows PC; KFC invades Phantasy Star

Sakai updated a little bit about Phantasy Star Online 2.  All he said was that he wanted to announce the game by the time of the PSO 10th Anniversary. But it's not really in a stage where he can talk more about the game yet.  So first you can enjoy Phantasy Star Portable 2 infinity, and then you can prepare for the upcoming  news and announcements for Online 2. The game's hardware is still for Windows PC.


Kentucky Fried Chicken

Yesterday we announced Kentucky Fried Chicken's Colonel Sanders would appear as a partner character in Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.  He posted some screenshots and if you come to TGS on Saturday, you can see his character in action!

It looks as if Colonel Sanders has a cane weapon!

 

Wynarl

A new character introduced to the official site. He's voiced by Shin-ichiro Miki. He's one of the ancients who's been watching over Nagisa while she was traveling alone. He's very kind and jolly, and chats frequently. At times he jokes around but he's still prudent. He takes the role to guide Nagisa during an emergency since she lacks common sense. Even though he's an ancient, he's well versed with modern times.

Sakai announced a brand new web portal for the Phantasy Star Series. It contains a link to almost every Phantasy Star game available. If you click on the Phantasy Star Online 2 area, it takes you to the trailer video which you can watch in higher quality.  No new details about PSO2 was given.
