Phantasy Star Portable 2 Official Site: Mirage Blast, Crouch, Lumia, Fanta!

Today the official site updated, we'll go into more details later on in the day, but at least for this time we can see characters up close and personal! Most of the information posted on the official site has been pretty much covered already. Take a look at the Phantasy Star Portable 2 Category if you missed any news.

Mirage Blast

During the past three years, technology from an ancient civilization was discovered and developed into what we know as "Mirage Blast". A mirage blast allows humans and newmans to summon a mystical beast. Mirage Blast acts similar to an SUV, in that you equip it as a "unit".This beast is summoned once your blast gauge is full! Each mystical creature represents one of the 6 elements in Phantasy Star Portable. However, only 4 of these beasts will be revealed for now.

Triple Technic Attack

Forces can now attack with three consecutive technics! The casting time is shorter so now you'll be able to attack just like the fighters. Also, technics with multiple hits and area of effect will have the same effect on bosses. For example; Rafoie would hit 3 areas.

Shortcut Order

Shortcut Order are specific commands you can send to your NPCs. Each command tells the NPCs to focus on a certain area.

  • Free Order (Fight anyway you please..)
  • Attack Shift (Let's focus more on fighting and less on recovery…)
  • Shoot Site (Let's focus on distanced shooting and long range techs…)
  • Heal Order (Let's focus on healing and recovery, less fighting..)
  • Follow Shift (Stay close to me!)
    (Shoot at a distance with guns and techs.)
  • Blast Charge (Let's focus on charging the blast gauge to its maximum!)
  • Blast Release (Release your blast gauge!)

Though her older brother is respected, she wants to shrink back the weight of her name, (or you could say she is disgusted/embarrassed by how popular her family name is.)
