1up.com and ign.com spilled the details of the upcoming Phantasy Star Portable 2.  The new details include:

  • Takes place 3 years after Phantasy Star Portable
  • Your custom character works for "Little Wing" and not The Guardians
  • More complex missions
  • Twice as much story as the previous game
  • Brand new character redesigns
  • A new "evade dodge" move.
  • Charged weapon ranged shots
  • Shields that can damage enemies if you parry.
  • Shields use the left hand slot.
  • Infrastructure mode via Internet Multi-mode
  • Multiplayer only missions
  • Chat and Lobby Actions [1]
  • Common Storage Box [1]
  • Searchable Partner Cards
  • Import Save Data from the original Phantasy Star Portable [2]

This sounds great and this also reveals what that mysterious new Sega RPG was about. According to the Famitsu scans, you can clearly see that it matches directly with the silhouette on Sega's NewRPG site.

It seems PSP2's producer: Takai, wanted to give players the choice of using stylized default characters, though you will still be able to customize the look and feel of your character including their face, body, and clothing.
