....it's floating around the internet, some people on this board already have it. Tell us what you think! I can't download stuff to my PSP right now (long story) but would be extremely thankful for any reviews of the demo!

Thanks!!

I know where to download it but I refuse to support this piece of crap until Sega gets off it's ass and fixes AOI and provides better support.

Any actual enthusiastic people care to post?

Ok I have my PSP with me right now, I have internet connectivity with it but I've never tried downloading games to it, now how do I go about doing this? Does my PSP need to be modded at all?

You need to make your internet browser on your PSP go to the japanese psp download site. Your PSP also needs to upgraded to version 4.01. You also have to have a mini-USB cable to download the demo to a memory stick. The demo is around 300mb and the update is 25mb.

how do u make the browser go to the JP site? can u just post link here and we click it on our PSP? :D lol

You can download the latest update from the Network Update menu on your PSP. You have to have version 2.00 or later on it already to do that, though.

You have to download it in a way I can't mention here. Use your Google skillz.

I wish I had the cash for a PSP now :(

With this and the new God of War coming out I need one BAD now.

Oh my... meseta actually comes from boxes now.. just like in PSO. It seems like the monsters have their HP back from PSU v1... The shop menu is very streamlined, and weapons that normally didn't have elements from the NPC now do. I have yet to try Story Mode, though...

Character Creation is odd... There's no more slider for the face, but once you choose your face as usual, you choose from another set of faces. I suppose this makes up for the slider not being there anymore.

Hmm.. and a Polty just dropped a Weapons Badge x.X

Can you make honest to goodness ORANGE hair? Or is it the retarded color palette we have for PSU?

Make videos now! Take them with a cellphone camera or something if you have to!

Cavarcous
Jul 9, 2008, 03:20 AM
Slightly modified color palette, think the one we have for female fleshies for their lips. The colors do seem brighter than before, but I like natural colors for my characters hair. I'll get back to you, as the demo only lets you have one character slot x.x

I have a camera I could do this with, actually, and though I could play this all night, I have work in the morning.

When I get home, I'll do my best to get a video or two up.

Thank you for your time and energy Cavarcous. I will eagerly await your videos.

Also 100th post w00t! ^_^

I agree, it seems like the game took a step backward, but it's because of PSP (the system). The character configuration is more basic than PSU's original one, but it's ok. You also can't wander freely around the Guardian's Colony, you visit it through some kind of 2D basic map, and dialogs are shown through images and not 3D "cutscenes". As for the battles, there are less ennemies at a time than on the original game. And the musics are orchestrated in midi obviously.
Apart from those things, it's a real Phantasy Star Universe, and it's awesome!

I find that there are more enemies at a time, actually. I've never seen a spawn of six Koltova...

must stop playing.. must get to bed... x.o

Fry_Heit
Jul 9, 2008, 03:47 AM
Yeah, let's say I've said that one. I'm currently seeing more and more ennemies appearing at a time.
By the way I mad two short videos. The quality is bad, but it's better than nothing. I'll upload them on Dailymotion and give you the links as soon as they are ready.

oh wow is this demo multiplayer? :O

i recall hearing a program to play local multiplayer PSP games online, maybe some of us who have this demo can get together and play later :D

lol drops are so random, got 2 armors from enemies right next to each other, 1 was 3% the otehr was 42% XD

also idk if it was stated before but in multi-mode there are no lobbies. u just select the mission, or shop to go to :P

also I found a Grinder, and i dont think grinding fials anymore so im saving this for if i need it for something better later :P

P.S. i've only tried diga as a spell so far cuz im hunter, but diga has knockback now O.o like they go flying like regrants when u hit them with diga in this game XD

Fry_Heit
Jul 9, 2008, 05:24 AM
Yeah this demo is multiplayer, and it is awesome.

I made a short video that can be found there :

The quality is horrible, the file is huge... I won't make any other one I reckon :p.

I swear, I'd be glad to play online, but I only have a router. It allows my PSP to connect to the internet, but not to my PC. I can't use that thing then. Still, I think I have a WiFi key something, I'll go look for it.


EDIT : It works! I'm coming to the 360 servers to find you in a few minutes.

This, Wifi Max makes playing over Xlink incredibly straightforward.

And the demo rocks! :D

Er, it isn't really something you should be talking about on here. Just google "phantasy star portable demo download", you should figure it out from there.

This demo's great. The tutorial portions of Story mode are far better explained than PSU's is, and I can't even READ it. The starting palletes for the initial three classes are also alot better than what PSU gave you.

By the way, looking at the class list - I can tell the first three are Hunter/Ranger/Force, the next three are the master classes, but what are the last two? Their requirements are 4/2/4 and 4/4/2, but of which classes I do not know. The 4/2/4 class specializes in single handed or dual-wielding weapons, while the 4/4/2 class specializes in all two-handed weapons.

Also, just found some 1% Ice C rank armor, rofl.

4/4/2 is Protranser. YES, they have DS and Rods. 4/2/4 is Acromaster.

By the way, the OST isn't midi. >_>

Fry_Heit
Jul 10, 2008, 02:14 AM
Ooooh yes it is. Well, most of it. In missions musics are orchestrated in midi, that's pretty obvious. But during cutscenes or in cities, we have the real musics.
Anyway that's hardly a problem, even if some of the musics sound quite messed up to me.

AnamanaAU
Jul 10, 2008, 02:24 AM
Where's the proof that it is or isn't?

Lonigan
Jul 10, 2008, 03:13 AM
It doesn't sound midi, but it definitely is a remix... Nice though.

AnamanaAU
Jul 10, 2008, 03:22 AM
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, just a new remix. Doesn't sound anything like midi.

Fry_Heit
Jul 10, 2008, 03:56 AM
The proof is that you definitely can hear it, it's midi, there's not arguing that. It is the same kind of musics you had on the N64 or PS (such as FF7 or FF8 ). But if you don't have a "melody ear" or something, here is another proof :

http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144333&highlight=midi&page=23

Take a look at Espiokaos's post at the middle of the page. He says :
"
Re: Sound
* The sound for the game has been recorded as MIDI.
* This could be due to some issues with skipping music that was reported during last December's Jump Festa exhibit."

We got the best end of the stick lol. Since we only have level 10 Support, screw buffing. Nuke, shoot, slash. We have decent stats too.

As much as I love Twin Claws, what on earth made them give them to PT. I thought that was Acromasters main weapon. Oh well...
