But thou Blocked!

チャレンジミッションII ステージ２・心眼: Challenge II Stage 2: The Mind's eye; Sakai released information on Challenge 2: Stage 2: The Mind's Eye! Like a Client Order gone wild, the focus of this mission appears to be attacking through Just Guarding!

Just Guarding is when you block attacks by using your shield at the same time your enemy hits you. Think of it as the Parry System in Street Fighter and Soul Caliber. Sakai describes this mission as very tense, so enjoy it if you can. The mission drops on the Japanese Phantasy Star Portable 2 at June 16, 2010.

Block the unwanted advances of the Companion Cube.

 

It's like Symbol Chat but better!

 

Flowers of Steel

The Knights of Steel Flowers are enlisting a few good men and women to join their crusade to rival Little Wing! But in order to join their ranks you must pay a fee…

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.

Weapons of Zero

The Pretty Parasol from Phantasy Star Zero will make it's debut.

 

The Sealed Yonohate Sword from Phantasy Star Zero.

We know everyone wants to know if the Sealed Yonohate Sword will "unseal" after a certain amount of hits, but Sakai did not say. Each DLC costs 200 Yen and is available only at the Japanese Playstation Store at June 11, 2010.

Sonic's Birthday 2010

It's that time of the year again, Sonic's Birthday will be celebrated exclusively on Xbox360. This time they are commemorating the release of the Supplemental Update which will have no Guardians Cash and no Free Course Play. Well the former is pretty good news for the community as a whole. 

Sonic will appear on Xbox 360 PSU servers June 23rd, 2010!

  • 12:00 – 1:00 PM
  • 2:00 – 3:00 PM

Looks like Phantasy Star Portable 2 will be heading to E3 Entertainment Expo this summer along with Sonic Colors, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and Valkyria Chronicles 2. Will they announce the collaboration items between both PSpo2 and VC2? Who knows! But today we get a sneak peak two Phantasy Star Zero items that's not as creepy as Ogi's Head….

DLC Items for 6/11/10

ヨノハテ・封 (Yonohate Seal)
50% Dark Sword
200 Yen

 

プリティヒガサ (Pretty Parasol)
50% Light Rod

These items are slated for the Japanese Playstation Store! You must have a Japanese Playstation Network Account to access the store! In addition the Samurai-ish DLC Cast Parts 「ブジンニシキ」「オウカフウビ」 will be available 6/11/10 as well.

 

Challenge 2

Some hints were posted on sakura wiki where most players get stuck at and waste time. The most notorious example is the blockade is located in Block 2.

In the first block when you reach up to a barrage of fire traps, instead of shooting at the fire traps, one most jump on every catapult jump consecutively.

There a a blue switch you stand on which allows others to gain optional extra healing items. This area can be a waste of time if you are trying to time attack this mission. Immediately after this area, The first Key 3  is located within a cherry tree that must be destroyed. If you skip this tree you will not be able to open gate 3. Afterwards there is a switch located on the upper wall where Gate 3 is located. After you clear all the enemies you have to shoot at this switch to reveal the second Key 3. The switch for gate 3 will disappear if you open Gate 2.

This three wall switch based on which one you shoot first will either give you an error sound, allow one person to catapult jump, or allow everyone to catapult jump. Sakura Wiki suggests shooting the leftmost switch. The rightmost switch will open a catapult jump, but it disappears after one use.
