Official site was updated, check it out.

http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp2/special/

This is the big thing, opening movie + prolouge. I'm at work so I haven't watched this with sound yet but I think it looks great!


Also nice bits on player characters, new "fighting styles" (off-hand shields, dodge rolls, ranged weapon charged shots), new (and old) areas and some new enemies.

The page on pcs, includes full size pics of the "cover" characters.

What the hell, nanoblasting got redesigned...
I'm not even sure if it is a nanoblast, or even a new type of nanoblast.
It's definitely black in color and has the same beast stripe design.

The new Antagonist is all Sephiroth'd.

Just read the new page in about on the site and basically feel like this is what PSU should have been from the start. It feels very similar to PSO in the sci-fi epic way and the redesigned menus aren't that horribly bland gray and add so much character to the game. The charge shot really changes the entire game for being a gunner and will be a much needed upgrade.

Only 200% eh?
I'm at about 20,000% excitement level now.
It's looking to be what people wanted PSU to be.
People wanted PSU to be PSO, only with awesome new gameplay, camera controls, (now with dodging, and jumping!) weapons, and more.

I really wish they would bring back Mags, I loved that feature of PSO.
Even if it was just some little "pet" that followed you, and didn't effect the stats of a character, it would be awesome.

Mike
Aug 28, 2009, 02:31 AM
I've always thought that some kind of extra slot item for armor could be used for mags or mag-like-things. I can't wait to get home and listen to this opening.

Edit: I liked it better without sound ... :(
I'm digging the caseal from the opening though she needs to get that spike out of her chest.

And oh hey, there's a translation over at Gamefaqs.

If you google translate this it says you can only recover your PP with natural regeneration or using normal attacks, no rechargers and no fluids O_O Also dodging consumes PP

Arika
Aug 28, 2009, 06:27 AM
no PP is good, do more normal attack is the way to go.

heh, newman fighter will have more PP to spam at least.

landman
Aug 28, 2009, 06:30 AM
What about techniks? will Force classes have to use a saber or a whip to recover PP? lol

Arika
Aug 28, 2009, 06:43 AM
Of course, they should have no fluid.

why remove PPrecharge but still give fluid lol? that would let people recover their PP easy and back to spam PA again.


The only thing I wonder is that how can they bring this content into the online server when they make this important change about PPrecharge.

I'm not complaining xD just wondering how is this going to work, PSU techers are 100% Photon Art users...

I'm not sure if this will be implemented to PSU with such changes...


And about this assumed Lumia... she reminds me of Alisa (http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/8/915128_23960_front.jpg)

What about that Goddess-like with Gurhal in her hands?? it intrigues me (could she be a representation of the Great Light?)

As are gunners. MasterForce and GunMaster would be totally unable to recover PP.

I for one don't want to see melee attacks on force equipment. It would waste buttons on the control layout for something you shouldn't be doing in the first place, PSO was a gong-show with the amount of equipment and button re-configuring you had to do if you were switching back and forth between multi-element tech and physical offense.

landman
Aug 28, 2009, 08:15 AM
BUT I have the impression normal shoots will not consume PP, only charged shoots will (like in PSŲ)

OriginalB
Aug 28, 2009, 08:17 AM
Hopefully if there arent any pp rechargers they will balance it out somehow. IE Force weapons naturally regenerate a lot more PP whenever you're wearing them?

Mysterious-G
Aug 28, 2009, 08:40 AM
I really like this opening cinematic and it's music. Much better and more dynamic than the other openings. :)

The blonde woman is the personification of the great light? 0:

Lumia's new outfit seems like a more covering version of Maya's outfit to me.
After her wearing Maya's old outfit already I would not be surprised if that is no coincidence.

A green haired Newman? Not bad at all.
Liking the heart-blowing CAST woman aswell. ^^
And that bearded Dante clone is sooo sexy (and mysterious). <33
(Some blog writes it is a mask, not a beard. Guys! It is a beard, right? I mean who would wear that kind of mask and not cover the nose aswell?! Right?! D: )
Much more than that person that seems to be the new antagonist. (But he is okay, too.)

Which leads me to my only complain: Battle scene between antagonist and little child (Emilia) is not what I define as being epic.

Mike
Aug 28, 2009, 08:45 AM

This is the only thing I can think of that would make rangers workable, unless they get a bonus to PP regen.

"Making dodge rolls use up PP is interesting. It'll change even the PS0 dynamic a bit."

This will bring dodge rolls more inline with the way they work in Monster Hunter. Having a bit of energy cost required to do it. This would keep the player from abusing dodge rolls so that they use it more like a limited emergency escape, lest they severely hamper their offensive capabilities without using a cost to recharge it.

Funny. In Phantasy Star Universe, the player character known as Little Wing (one of my friends) was a tiny Newman girl. I kept thinking, given the past Phantasy Star Universe/Portable releases, that something around my group of friends would mysteriously appear in later Phantasy Star releases. So if it ends up being some small-statured girl leading Little Wing, I would not be surprised at all. I'll just have to assume SEGA has been recording games I've been in. :)

ogawd, I watched the opening movie, and cringed at the end. That reeks of Sephiroth so much it isn't even funny :lol: I mean come on, he walks in through fire (I know Ethan does in AoI's video, if I recall, but this guy even has silver hair :wacko: )

However, the rest looked very good (even if I don't like how every Newman in the video looked like a loli, minus the one with the whip), and some of the new features are cool.

Dragon, I look forward to a 5-second fight again. :wacko:

Edit: Black Nanoblast = lulz. After so long of it being a stupid rumour/troll, it turns out to be real. :lol: Good to see it looks visually different too; the current PSU Nanoblasts are so boring.

Some notes from the update



Bye Bye Photon Charges!

You can regain PP by through natural regeneration
You can regain PP by normal attacks

Seabed Relics New Area

Evil Shark Confirmed for Seabed Relics

Old PSU/AOI missions will have tweaks

The length of the mission will be adjusted
Some new enemies will appear

Shield get's its own icon and weapon category.

I saw the shield icon turn red during a Just Guard.
I don't know the red color is the element or..
more likely the red color indicates Just Guard



I think forces will be royally screwed. We have to wait for more information for how in the world Techers will replenish their PP. I don't think I'd enjoy standing around before I can use ONE Diga.

This is like Sheng-long rumor from SF2 that eventually became real. On the same note, it's a throw back to PSO's system right there.

I like the changes to the expenditure of photon power, as well as the recharge dynamics. I think it encourages smart gameplay.

As I've had enough of MF in PSU, I was thinking of going AT in PSP2 (assuming there is such a thing), but I'd like to see how the situation with Technic weapon PP use and recharge plays out first.

Best OP I've seen in some time.

According to the rappy over on the official blog, we'll likely get some information on preorder bonuses around this coming Monday. The plain version is already up for preorder at the official Sega store on Ebten but there are no special or delux or super-special-delux-ultimate-end-of-the-universe editions to be preordered yet.

The rappy also said that there were hidden messages in the video but if she says anything more about it she'll get erased. What in the world does this mean? If it refers to the visual representions (ala black Lucario :p ), I think we're set, but is there more? To be honest, I hate being the horse chasing the carrot on a stick (http://www.fotosearch.com/bigcomp.asp?path=IMZ/IMZ156/rtr0019.jpg) but it feels so good.

The star, will it be in vain?

So much it holds too dear of heart (?)
May we (or make way?) see the light advancing (advances? advancer?)

So none can break the will of my heart
No, never again, until the end

The dodge seems to drain significantly less PP in PSP2 that stamina in MonHan, though I only saw it used by a Human ♂ of indeterminate level. The PAs used seemed to consume far more. Also, flying Ground-photon machine enemies (ブナリ???) are new, yeah?

So....."Mission Counter>Type of Mission>Planet>Mission>Difficulty of Mission"? How easy and more organized. I'm not sure this applies to other planets too or just Little Wing.

At least it's easy(easier?) to tell that the antagonist is female, unlike with Kuja.

From what we know, it appears that you will start all missions from Clad-6. Basically, think of Clad-6 functioning just like Pioneer 2 of PSO.

Lv 1 stats:

Human
HP 120
PP 200

[Oddness: Other screenshots show the Human at lv 22. However, while the HP increased to 308 PP remained 200. Might indicate that PP do not depend on character but job levels? Or no PP (cost) increase at all?]

Newman
HP 77
PP 250

CAST
HP 84
PP 170

Beast
HP 132
PP 180

All those that never liked the PSU item box looks (like me), this might please you very, very much:

I might need new glasses; Or this is indeed no orange fruit but an orange weapon box comparable to those of PSZ.

I wonder if the mission counter shows all enemies and items that show up in a mission by default or only those you encountered already.

Looking through those Gamespot screens, it seems there's a character named Chelsey (the same name as former President Clinton's daughter) who will tell you how to accept missions. There are also Pal Sharks, the lovely suckers.

Jump back!

Shougai PSO (http://www.g-heaven.net/pso/topics/090831b.html)says, Just Guard can only be performed with the shield.
You can still defend yourself with 2 handed weapons (except the rod) which would reduce the damage received.

Wait, so when you fire off a charged shot you jump then shoot?

Charged shots are going to have unique animations. Think PA for a gun.

# He hints that characters from the previous game will appear in this game.

Sega seems to finally be moving in the right direction with the series. Hopefully they'll keep on changing the latest games to be more like PSO. That way Phantasy Star will be toe to toe with Monster Hunter in a few years. I predict a Wii version of Phantasy Star by the end of this generation. A DSi update wouldn't be too bad either for PS0 but judging by the sales it might not happen.

Phantasy Star won that along time ago.
