PSPo2: Sakai Does America, Knights, RAPPY of Hope

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.

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.

Phantasy Star Portable 2: Little Wing Rivals, Sonic's Birthday 2010

Knights of Steel

Sakai showed off some lovely concept art for the next download items after the Phantasy Star Zero weapons.

There are many private military companies fiercely competing within the Gurhal Solar System. The one that many of you would know by now is the Little Wing, and the largest company would be The Guardians.  So we introduce one such private company known as the Knights of Steel Flowers.

Little Wing Rivals: 鋼華の騎士団

The costume has a sort of Cherry Blossom feel but with a militaristic approach. Like the Disciplinary Committee, they may possibly have their own unique weapons, but we'll see.
