So my roommate is considering playing PSP2...

Hey all, if this would have been better in the "ask a question" topic, regards and apologies.

Recently, my roommate who's played a good bit of the more modern-type RPGS (Think Fable, etc) has seen me playing PSP2 and said "Wow, you really like that game!" and so I just kinda said it was a pretty fun game and easy to get hooked. We had also recently found a cheap copy of Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II Plus, so in addition to trying that out, she really wants to grab PSP2 which is AWESOME to me.

Now, I've been playing PSO a fair amount since I was 14-ish (I'm now 23), and sadly, not as much of PSU, and working on PSP2.

My general request/question is, if you were teaching someone whose never played a lick of PSO/PSU/PSP1 or 2 how to play Phantasy Star Portable 2, what would you find most important to tell them to succeed? I just want her to be able to have a good time but since I hadn't played much PSU or PSP as of yet, I think there's definitely better qualified people here. Also, it might be a nice place to gather some basic tips and tricks for the new-to-PSU/PSP crowd?

Cheers.
