They've also changed the website and will be updating it leading up to the release. The trailer is on the site. It's completely in Japanese, though. (Copy pasta'd from another forum I go to, which isn't focused on PSO/PSU.)
http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/
I'll separate pages to what I'm certain they contain;
Story details: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/world/
Looks to go over where PSP runs in the timeline.
Planets: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/world/grale/
* Guardian Colony: Where your room is, shops mirror some of the other planets' item lists. Missions range from destroyed areas of colony through transfers to Rycros and SEED Hives.
* Parum: Parma? The CAST Planet. Grassy fields, dragons and futuristic CAST HQ.
* Neudaiz: Dezolis? New Deizolis get it. Newman's home planet. Oriental themed, Temples & Mushroom rappy land.
* Moatoob: Mota, Motavia? Deserted areas, lots of caves, De Rol Le.
Races: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/world/grale/race/
Human, Newman, Cast & Beast
* Cast's get SUV weapons, similar to old PSO photon blasts.
* Beasts get Nanoblasts, which are basically a hulk/beast mode.
* Newmans are good magic users, while Humans are jack of alls.
Story characters: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/world/character/
Runs over info on story characters, looks to have a new character's info released every few days or weeks?
Vivenne - Bunny Cast woman. Not much info on her is known yet.
Helga - Human infected with the SEED virus. She's the bodyguard of the main bad guy in PSU: AotI.
Story Mode info: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/mode/
Information on the story of the game.
Character Creation: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/create/
Information of creating a character.
Game data: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/change/savedata/
Looks to go over how this game is similar to PSO where your Offline / Online (Story / Multi) data is the same and can be used in both modes.
Item distribution: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/change/dropitem/
Goes over how ad-hoc games handle rare item drops. Pictures with the red text on the right, that is how players know which player got a rare and what rare they got, along with star rating.
City selection: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/change/city/
No clue of this. I speculate that these are either;
A) Replacing the planet select screen, showing stores and areas rather than just the planet and area selection.
B) Replacing the planet's free movement, allowing you to go straight to areas?
Weapon upgrading: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/game/change/weapon/
Details on upgrading AKA Grinding weapons. Basically, you can upgrade a weapon 10 times. The more you upgrade them, the higher chance they can fail and drop back to 0 upgrades, minus one maximum upgrade (2/10 fails and goes to 0/9). In old PSU, breaking an item completely destroyed it.
Link with PSU: AotI PS2 / PC: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/network/illuminus/
Seems to mention that if you link with PSU PC/PS2 you can party with Vivenne (On PC/PS2 possibly). Also a reward for doing this which looks like; Lapia Fluge or Whitill Wing.
Import character from PSU: AotI Online: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/network/character/
Goes over how you are able to import your character from the main online PC/PS2 game.
Movies: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/movie/
Trailer and other movies will go here.
Product info: http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/product/
Game pricing, release date and so on.
Maybe someone can translate these pages 100%?
EDIT: Ah damn, didn't see that Espio had changed his first post.
