Oh hey, that looks pretty good. Different artist? Either way, I rather like this art style. Reminds me a bit more of some older RPG artists.

Is that supposed to be De Ragan? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

Probably the only new boss from PSP. xD

Guess this double-confirms that it is indeed the cover artwork. (Glad about that, as I'm pretty fond of this piece.) Plus it's a larger picture than what was found before. Thanks for the link!

Protip: U.S. games never have cool box art. It always changed to crap when imported.

That Box Art beats the crap outta PSU and AotI >:( Gwuh ;-;

And yeah, Box art always get slaughtered along with the voice acting. Let me take a moment to vomit on most of the voice acting in PSU. Except for Karen and Leo. :3 They deserve cake for making corny lines sound quite alright.

Why does that look so amazing?

Come on, it's by far way better than PSU and AoI's box arts.

You're right. It definitely is a Monster Hunter cover for PS Portable. Of course, they also chose the boss that looks closes to a Monster Hunter boss as well. No surprises here. It's definitely a box meant to attract monster-hunter fans to check it out. I'd expect the game to be good; and while it's really pretentious, I'll have to still chalk that up for good marketing. The game, itself, is different enough; but that cover idea will definitely work better than their usual stuff.

thats the same artist from PSO.

His art is fucking amazing. The main reason i enjoyed PSO Ep.III was the freaking art on the cards.

Agreed.

I hear Sega wanted to cash in on the whole PSP dungeon crawler craze that's been made extremely popular by Capcom and their Monster Hunter series. Let's hope Sega redeems themselves with this game.

So is this game actually online? or is it one of those "local miltiplayer only" things?

Xionreaver

i sure hope its online, i wish you could use your characters from pc/ps2 on it

EspioKaos

The game won't be online "officially," however a four player local area multi-player mode via ad hoc has been confirmed.

On the character transfer thing, it's been mentioned that something is in the works to transfer some of your character data from the PC/PS2 version to the PSP game, though specifics are unknown. For more information, check this post (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=174548&forum=20&start=0).

It's Adhoc, but then again, when it comes to PSP, if it's adhoc, it's pretty much online. Much of the Monster Hunter 2 scene is played on Xlink Kai. I'm sure this will be a hit on Xlink Kai as well. Nowadays, it's much easier than before to set up your PSP for adhoc over internet play. It's probably because of that is why there isn't a big pressure to make it infrastructure.

I'm taking a closer look at some of the new weapons they show in the video, and I just realized there's a teapot... likely either an RCSM or TCSM. Another one is a little fox-looking thinger and then a butterfly wand. Lots of other nice looking swords and rifles, too.

Doesn't look too bad actually, I'll probably pick it up when it's out.

Is that double saber in the CG a vivienne, or is my eyes playing tricks on me (yes I know one of the main chars is named vivienne =p)?

Ah, looks like it is! Fitting, I guess, since the CAST holding it is the Vivienne you mention.

Agreed. And with SonicTeam saying there will be an in-game image compendium for items and enemies, I'm hoping we'll see some kind of artbook for the game down the line. I'd love to have something like that.

Clearly PSU players don't care about repetitive content... just guessing from the number of players we had in White Beast before the event, and looking at kills on the MAG leaderboards now.

Hey. I want those badges for some *new* content. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Plus, I might as well enjoy the event while it lasts; I know I have the rest of the year to go back and do old stuff. Though I have gone and done a couple of other missions, during the event, to get a change of scenery on top of certain levels made to aid in raising PA levels.

0-0 that was actually pretty cool! Now of only gameplay was as impressive.

I'm psyched! The box art makes me drool lol. I can't wait for this to release so I can look at it all day, albeit if Sega doesn't jack up the boxart. But then again, from the current artwork I seen from some new PSP games, I am hopeful.


Edit: Also, Vivienne using.... Vivienne?! *dies laughing*

Phantasy
Star
Portable.

I think Sega might just have something to keep PSP owner & lovers of PSU busy on those days away from your pc/ps2/Xbox 360.

I might have to import this title. Does anyone know if the PSP is region free, like the DS?

Chaobo99
May 14, 2008, 06:11 PM
That looks pretty cool..Judging from trailer,it looks better than the ones we have on platform xD...I hope they make it online,even if it requires some buddy list system to meet someone.

May 14, 2008, 06:26 PM
So they remixed the theme song to sound less cheesy eh. It'll probably just be a dumbed down version of the single player campaign with minor new content and characters no one gives a hoot about. I wish Sega would just sell the rights of Phantasy Star to Capcom.

Figured I'd post this here. The bottom right seems to detail the character transfer. Glad they're pulling through with that.
