Phantasy Star Portable: PSP The Best

Phantasy Star Portable PSP the Best will feature 3 episodic movies chronicling the whole Phantasy Star Universe series. It first starts with the SEED INVASION, so that you may know more of the Gurhal Solar System and character history.  It's great for those new players of Phantasy Star Portable 2. Sakai says it was very hard to edit over 30 chapters of video and images together to make one coherent story.

Ethan, Laia, and Lumia will be narrating each episode. The narration voice work is entirely new providing you a sense of feeling and emotion by their respective characters. Also, voice acting is now provided to the script of Episode 3.

However, since Episode 3 has multiple endings (based on S ranking mind you..) certain parts will not shown in the ending of the PSU Chronicle movie.

As for the opening theme of Phantasy Star Portable 2, the "official theme" and the "PSU Chronicle PSP2 opening theme" will be slightly different. Sakai wants you to compare the two openings.

Lol I think the expression at the end of their blog post fits. Why in the world would there be a time limit to register a product code? However, I think the blogger is more concerned of the existence of the product code itself.

One of the few scans of the guide book. I'm sure more of it will be posted but it features a history of the series, and the storyline of the universe.

  • Shougai PSO Compiled TGS Observations

    • The Trap now floats a bit off the ground.
    • Rare Item drop notification has a "pirorirorin" sound, (like a telephone ringing…)
    • The number of total photon arts was 136, that's less than PSP1.
    • Previously mentioned, Client Order, NPCs request missions from you.
  • Shougai PSO Base Stat Observations

    • Human Female 250PP
    • Newman Male 230PP
    • Newman Female 250PP
    • Beast Female 200PP
    • 50PP is used urgent evade.

The Magashi Plan: Guide

shredthedarkness

The Magashi Plan

The Magashi plan is a solo mission where if you die the game is over. Lets run through some of the more challenging blocks.

*This post will auto update backwards as information gets added.

Equipment recommendations

  • De Colte Line for Megid
  • Dark Elemental Line Shield
  • Light Elemental Ranged Weapon
  • Ice Elemental Ranged Weapon with Freeze Status Effect
  • Stun / Resist for Bil De Vear

General Tips

  • Pick up all healing items including monomates and dimates.
  • Try not to waste trimates, they don't drop very often.
  • Bringing a gun with you can help against flying enemies.
  • FighMasters can use Tornado Dance through most enemies.
  • Take advantage of enemy boundaries. See where they disappear.

Block C-2

After April 24th, you'll meet up with Leo and Tonnio. For their own enjoyment of not helping you in battle, they will always pick the route you don't choose. To reach Block C-2 you will pick the route that requires the #2 gate key, which is the red gate off to the side.

magashi-plan-block-c-2

Block C-2 is extremely easy to exploit because of the way it's set up. There is a monster barrier right behind the entrance door. As you enter the block there will be two Bil De Vears. Now you can just go in and fight  or we can take the easy way and stand behind the door.

block-c-2-behind-the-door

The Bil De Vears will disappear right as they enter the door behind you, so you can use this to your advantage.  Rangers can shoot long distance weapons like shotguns. Techers can cast long distanced technics, fighters can also use guns or slicers to shoot unless your a FighMaster.

block-c-2-carriguine-above

After your done there's a red weapon unequipper gate at the bottom path. Instead of going in there to kill the Carriguine, stay at the top level and shoot from above. I have found that he doesn't throw Megid from here, but better be safe than sorry.

carriguine-cant-megid-here

Once its dead, run down to the lower path to trigger the next area. Again, we can exploit this by running back upstairs and shooting across the lower path with long distanced weapons or technics. You can alternatively shoot from the lower path but the Carriguine tends to cast Megid.  Once you kill them all you'll reach up to Magashi.

Magashi plays just like he does at Il Cabo Base, he's a little bit easier, but he tends to block your attacks.
