Have a Question? Post here!

[Deragonite]

Hello everyone,

I've noticed that there are so many questions for PS:P2! A lot of them are rather specific, and a lot of them have been repeated.

I think it's a good idea to have a topic where you can post any general questions you have and hopefully someone should answer it soon enough :). This can also be used as a good compilation of general questions as well!

So I guess I'll start with a general'ish question. How do I turn on Autotext?

[Pillan]

Autotext automatically activates in Multi-Mode or Online Multi-Mode. It does nothing in Story Mode.

[Deragonite]

I see... umm my autotext doesn't turn on when I play multi? At least I don't see it...

[Pillan]

It happens at random intervals, much like NPC talk. If it's not happening at all, then I have no idea.

[Amherst_Wind]

The more common the phrase is the less chance it has of activating, the autowords for damage and blocking etc won't happen very often, as opposed to the Level up or Mission Start/Clear autowords which should always trigger without fail.

[richie_027]

Anyone have any idea when the PSO cloth's become available? I have cleared story mode on normal and main character is 80 if that helps at all...

[Drawers]

Do some of the new clothes come in seperate pieces?

[CHOX]

Alright, here is one. What are the translations for the exchange items? How do I know if I have photo drops, photon crystals, and photon boosters? I have a whole bunch of about five items and I have no idea what they are.

And is there a way to revert my PM back to it's original model?

[Chuck_Norris]

Could someone explain exactly what these Extend Codes are? I can't seem to find out. Also, is there any point to a beast gunner now?

[GJARE]

Does 白亜のコンサート require every party member to have the tickets or just the host and also how many tickets are required of each type?

[Mulat]

Ahh I was needing a thread like this.

I saw in the demo that changing skin color for CASTs costs something like 500,000 meseta. Does that include the main and sub colors of the parts? If not, can it be done some other way?


How do I know if I have photo drops, photon crystals, and photon boosters?
Not sure if this is what you're asking, but:
Photon Drop = フォトンドロップ
Photon Crystal = フォトンクリスタル
Photon Booster = フォトンブースター

I'd translate the exchange list (http://pspo2.wikiwiki.jp/?%B0%EC%C8%CC%A5%A2%A5%A4%A5%C6%A5%E0#k7e6564e) but someone probably already has, somewhere...

[evange]

Extend codes are items in the decoration inventory that would be able to let you grind one final last time,make weapon s rank and some giving special effects.Can only be gotten by completing 7 stages on challenge mode.
Look at crouch, he is a beast gunner.



Does 白亜のコンサート require every party member to have the tickets or just the host and also how many tickets are required of each type?

Every party member would need all the tickets.
4 of each 5 different tickets is needed.
P.S nearly all monsters 1 hit ko you from stage 2 onwards but the exp is huge.
killing a monster with 5 hits and getting 10k exp feels good =)

yea thats the only way sadly.

[Pillan]

Also, is there any point to a beast gunner now?

The same point there is to Newman Hunter and Cast Force. It counterbalances Beasts low stats with Ranger's high stats and vice versa. You just end up compensating the ranged damage with more melee.

You're saying Beast gunners work by using melee, then? So there is no point anymore. Got it.

[Pillan]

Nah. I'm saying they have the lowest gun damage but can pair it with a slicer or something for a powerful finish (assuming you have enough PP left...). Or use their high HP/EVP to get in close with a shotgun/crossbow. Overall, though, I'd say it's tough to argue their merits when Cast has the best ranged damage, best PP recovery (for bullets), and insignificantly less melee damage.

[iSelphy]

What's everyone's opinions on the new PAs?
Also, I know people switch around PAs based on what they're doing, the boss and mobs, but generally, what's the best overall PA for weapons if you just want to stick to one only?

The new double saber PA roxs because all attacks stay within the chain and the first attack can stop enemies from attacking. The new double dagger PA is similar -- it has a second attack, but there's not much point in using it.

[Tycho]

Most new Skills are considered to be the new best of their kind. >_>

Pretty much all the new arts are worth experimenting with, but it all boils down to weapon choice in the end.

As far as sticking to one, I'll give you two of my favorites. For offensive players, I'd go with Dus Scad (the new spear art). For defensive players, I'd stick to good ol' Spiral Dance.

[iSelphy]

Right now I'm mainly using twin swords, twin daggers, and knuckles. I want to use double saber and twin claws eventually too.

For the new twin dagger pa, is it the one where you throw the daggers then kick them? That seems useful but the second Attack comes out too slow I think.

[Pillan]

Mostly demo vs. retail questions.

How's the meseta gain? Does the game give too much, too little? How long would it take to get that 500,000 meseta, for someone around level 20 or 30?

Do player deaths count against a mission ranking if they get revived (by a scape doll, moon atomizer, revive technique, etc.)?

I heard the PSU warp crystals are there in missions, but I haven't seen them in the demo. Are they there in the retail version?

Relatedly, does returning to town end any mission you're on?

Are the extend abilities (like HP Boost, PP cost reduction, etc.) granted by job level ups, or something else?

Is it possible for stuff like game mechanics to be patched on PSPo2? I hear a lot of complaints about Forces -- if it turns out they really do suck eggs, would that be fixable, or a permanent issue Sega can't do anything about?

Have you called your mother lately? She worries, you know.

1. You won't have 500k by 30 unless you're saving up for it. Most of the demo players had a lot by that level just because the cap was level 15, so all the extra EXP didn't count. But, once you hit 100, you won't have trouble getting a million meseta in a couple hours just from selling stuff you pick up.

2. Warp crystals only appear in multi-mode and online.

3. Returning to town kills the mission in single player, but not in multi-mode/online.

4. Class specific and class level based.

5. They already patched EX traps, so yes.

6. She died last March.

Oh, I have another question. What exactly are exact counters and how do you perform them?

To my knowledge, it's after you exact block and just attack?

[evange]

once you block the enemy at the same time it hit you, its exact counter.
the monster would be "attacked" by your shield.

Oh, so just exact guarding with a shield will get that title then, thanks.

[Arika]

Oh, so just exact guarding with a shield will get that title then, thanks.

Not sure if exact = just in the JP word.

but

Just guard = do the right timing on guard, it can damage the enemy with shield, but you can do just guard with any weapon and it still count for your title.

guard = just hold the guard longer, let enemy hit you.

just counter = do just guard and attack the enemy back with just attack. performing this also turn you into invincible mode for 2 sec.

I'm not too familiar with what's new on here (http://pspo2.wikiwiki.jp/?%C9%FE%A1%A6%A5%D1%A1%BC%A5%C4), but if you ask me it looks like the bulk of the new stuff covers all three clothing slots.

[Mike]

The donation box is driving my crazy (what's new, eh?) because I can't seem to get the Twin Beef Sabers to spawn. So I'm on the verge of starting to beg for some. But before I beg, I wanted to ask if anyone knew if the beef weapons are tradeable. They count as rare weapons but there are a few weapons that rare weapons that are tradeable so I wondering if anyone knew.

Edit: I did a little testing myself and the beef weapons are tradeable. This leads me to a second question: Anyone have any Twin Beef Sabers they don't need?

[Anon_Fire]

Mine hasn't been answered yet.

[Volcompat321]

I have a question-
Does anyone want me to make a video of any other thing in PS:P2? (no TA's, because that's not my thing).

I could make more tech animations if anyone wants.
I'm sure I have all the techs other than buffs to 30. (I might have Shifta at 30, but that's old news anyway).

[Hobbez]

Unfortunatly, all of the new clothes are one-piece, (dont know about parts, I'm newman). On the plus side, it only takes up one inventory slot =p

The one's I know off the top of my head:

- Agito Repca (Black Rhapsody Boss Box)
- Lightning Espada (I found it from an Astark S Rank on Parum)
- Morat Machinus (Runaway SEED Express S Rank from Seed Ardite)
- Artemis Shield (AMF Recovery Boss Box A Rank)
- Standstill Shield (Mad Beast S Rank Green Worms)

imo the best way to get it is equip rare item boost, then save=>donate and repeat till you have the twin beef saber.
you could also try praying to miko.
IIRC there is a way to increase the number of boxes but i forgot how..

I could give Saya all the money I have and it wouldn't help because that's not the way the donation box works. Ditto for the rare boost skill. The way you increase the number of boxes is by being lucky.

Europeans and US gamesaves are also different from eachother.
Though the US/Eu ones get the same stuff.

[Red Ring]

Can you still look down the scope of rifles? I hit select but it brings up chat functions in PSP2.

[Pillan]

Left Trigger + any direction on the D-pad. This works regardless of weapon, but can only shoot with appropriate guns. It also activates goggles automatically.

[DoubleJG]

I've noticed that PSPo2 has boosted enemies just like PS0, except there have been two different colored boost auras: gold, and red.

What are the differences between these two?

(Oh, and my full retail version should be arriving in the mail either tomorrow or Thursday. Here's to hoping the online code has not been used like the prior owner said it wasn't!)

[Pillan]

There are a variety of different enemy boosts auras, but there's an easy rule of thumb to identify them. Essentially, the more elaborate the aura, the stronger the enemy, the more EXP they give, and the higher their drop rate. The strongest one is a huge white aura, I believe.

[Skyly HUmar]

Hey, I just got the 10,000 kill sword, the kokinto I belive. Is this the one I hear you can unseal? and if so how so?

where would i find shifta lvl.11+?

im really surprised i havent stumbled upon it yet consider im doing lvl.100+ missions

Buy it at the secret society.

I found mine ina B rank mission, I recomend you look here: http://psp2.psupedia.info In the main menu click on AREAS then scroll down till you see the PA you want. Then do a mission that has that area in it from B-S rank.

[Lunar_Furor]

Is there any way I can put all of my psp2 stuff on a different memory card? I've cut my space so thinly I can't make any more characters... and I only have 2. Could someone pm me if there's an answer just in case I miss it here?

[irukandjisyndrome]

This is a pretty silly question, probably, but - how do you trade items with other players? I figured just dropping on the ground would work, but it doesn't let me drop weapons. :( Thanks.

Nevermind, found it. For anyone curious, you go to the cafe with whoever you're looking to trade with - there's a machine there that lets you perform trades. :)

How do you get Cardianna in psp2?

[DoubleJG]

When selecting a mission, there are 3 categories with stars next to them. What are these categories and what do the number/color of stars represent?

[Mulat]

When selecting a mission, there are 3 categories with stars next to them. What are these categories and what do the number/color of stars represent?

プレイ時間 = Play Time, how long it takes to complete the mission.
タイプＰ = Type P, aka Type Points, how many you receive for completing the mission.
報酬メセタ = Meseta Reward, how much you receive for completing the mission.

As for colors, I have no idea. I just assumed it was a visibility thing with no consequence.

I've cut my space so thinly I can't make any more characters... and I only have 2.Some computers have Memory Stick Pro Duo readers so you can move data between cards or store it on your hard drive, if yours doesn't but has USB ports your cheapest option is probably a data transfer cable (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.28732).

[Lunar_Furor]

So just move the folder over? I for some reason thought it wouldn't work.

[Astarin]

How does PSP:2 handle rare enemies? I've heard that missions have set spawn patterns, so I'm just curious. Is it PSU style, where you'll only find them at specific locations, or more like PSO/Zero where they can appear anywhere?

[Pillan]

Rare enemies are PSU style. They only appear in set locations on the map and the enemy spawns on the maps that they appear on has always been the same to my knowledge. The only thing I'm unsure of is rare bosses (Olgadillan) and lobbies (Cake Shop and Pizza Hut), which appear too rarely for me to notice if they're locked to a set spawn pattern.

[Astarin]

Cool. Thanks Pillan.

I've got another one for you folks. Do Technics/Techniques still work on the tier based PSU system? In other words, does a technic have a set SE/visual effect/number of targets from 1-10, then another from 11-20, and a higher from 21-30? Same with other photon arts, I guess. Do you not get the additional combos until 11 and 21, as in PSU?

I'm asking, because if it works like you, then it seems like Braver gets shafted. They're capped at level 20 arts across the board, compared to 30 or 15 for the other classes. In PSU, a limit of 20 versus 15 doesn't really afford much advantage, especially regarding Technics, when the changes don't hit until 21.

[Pillan]

Techs change at each tier, the same as in PSU. Their visuals are the same as levels 1-30 on PSU, but their stats, effects, and casting speeds have all been rebalanced for this game. (I.e., techs don't suck as much for the first 10 levels.)

As far as skills go, all skills get their full combo at 11 and most 2 hand skills have 2 parts at level 1. (The only exceptions being 2 hand skills with less than 3 parts.) So every class gets full combos with every skill. They just deal less damage with the parts than hunter.

Braver doesn't have any real trouble keeping up with the other classes thanks to EX traps. And if you want to make them stronger than that, level up Ranger to get Full Charge Shot and Force to get the various tech speed abilities.

[DoubleJG]

Just got my game and am installing it.

1) Where do I access Client Missions? The psupedia says "cast with white hair", but the one in the cafe doesn't do anything when I talk to her. Do I need to clear story mode first, or are these only accessible in multiplayer?

2) what is Trial for? I clicked it and it installed something, but I'm not sure what.

3) *** Also, would anyone please be able to create an image or explain the internet mode options when searching & creating parties? For example, what does the number in the parenthesis stand for?)

[Tycho]

1) Oh, sorry if it wasn't clear from the article -- the client missions only get unlocked after a certain point in story for each NPC. So basically, you might wanna try and progress a bit further, dunno which got unlocked when. :/
2) Trial should be the demo version I think.

New question:

I've checked the jp wiki as well as our own, and haven't found any guides on this yet. Weapon badges, PA (fragments, I'm assuming?), and all Photon items (drops, etc), are used where, and for what? I'm assuming they're for clothes and weapons, and my only guess would be Bruce's Trade Mission. Anyways, is there a guide for this sort of thing anywhere?

[Lyra]

On story mission 8:1 how do you get past the floor buttons? They turn off again after you step off them. I'm illiterate so I don't know if there were some instructions in this mission that I couldn't read that would have explained it.

[Deragonite]

Try all the combinations.

All I remember is Green first for both of them. The 1st puzzle is just moving around the perimeter of the square. The 2nd one is not a square. That eliminates well over 3/4's of the possibilities.

In regards to beast rangers:

There's actually some interesting benefits to this set up:
-Braver like Evasion
-Can effectively use weapons beast hunters might be a bit afraid of due to accuracy, such as whips
-Due to level 30 bullets, can compensate for accuracy issues with the accuracy shot
-Has like... 200ish more TP then any hunter, including newman
-Has newman hunter like ATP
-Although slight, their high ATP does help damage a tiny bit on most ranged weapons


Handgun/mechgun+whip combo is fierce. They also make good use of double sabers.

Also... they can use cards with 3 shots, which is an excellent ranged combo builder. The right hand can use a weapon like saber and use PAs...

If I'm going to use Ranger, I'd be using the two hand guns, such as shotgun and laser cannon. I doubt I'd EVER use techs on a beast ranger. And a CAST could do the rest better than a beast, for the most part. They'd have higher ATA and do much more damage on the cards. And don't beasts have like the 2nd lowest PP? They'd run out way too quick, with how fast guns burn PP.

Well the thing is, beast rangers have the same ATA roughly as newman bravers, who would be able to justify the use of two handed weapons such as the laser.

As for techs resta helps.

Cast would do better then beast, yes but obviously less melee.

As for cards, you'd be using them to build combos over actually worrying about the damage done during build up process, I suppose.

Yes, they'd run out of PP, but you'd be using melee alot more...also there are PP saving bullets too that help to a degree.

Not saying any of this makes for a "great idea" but they aren't completely pointless... they're basically HUcasts....with a bit more love for guns with the higher level of bullets. Look at it this way, a hucast with level 15 bullets will have 15% less "effect" (like power bullets) compared to a ranger with level 30 bullets...granted, the beast gets fewer PA....

But yeah...It's kind of great that there are so many left handed guns, you can juggle melee and gunning effortlessly with this class.

The only completely pointless class are newman hunters (Compare beast bravers to newman hunters stats... if I recall, the only thing the hunter beats the braver in is defense...but then compare evasion and forget about any advantage period)

[Lyra]

first is Green, red, blue yellow

2nd: Green, blue yellow red

Hmm this is weird but even the green one won't stay lit.
This is in the first area where there is a pile of rubble that you get research percent for checking.

EDIT - oh finally figured out you can order the magical transformation girl to stand in a certain place--like on the button.

[Pillan]

The only completely pointless class are newman hunters (Compare beast bravers to newman hunters stats... if I recall, the only thing the hunter beats the braver in is defense...but then compare evasion and forget about any advantage period)

If you think Newman Hunter is pointless because of Beast Braver, you should compare Beast Ranger to Cast Braver. The Cast is insignificantly worse off or better at every stat. Of course, that doesn't take the PA distribution into account, which you may wish to note in either case.

[THOTH]

The newman hunter is only pointless because no hunter has enough TP to make it useful...beast braver has pretty similar stats, plus the option to actually use techs (especially females, who have the same teching skills/pp as human male bravers)

As far as a beast ranger to cast braver, yeah they are roughly the sameish. I wouldn't say there's a huge gap in quality though, in contrast to the aforementioned HUnew vs BRbeast.

Let's also factor in that beasts get another slot unit not spent on SUV/Mirage meaning they can boost their stats without having to compromise a special ability. An additional ATA unit on a female beast would definitely make them more competitive in the world of gunning.

I haven't been able to figure out what exactly the light and dark Mirage Blasts do, the dark one gave me some sort of aura, but I didn't really notice what it did, the light one left me equally perplexed.

I don't know enough to know entirely what it's saying but I was guessing it meant the server is down. This is also the first time I've tried to get into online infrastructure in the first place, I input my code in the Playstation Network and all - is there anything else I need to do, and does it take a bit for it to be validated or anything?

Dark boosts attack speed temporarily,Light has something to do with boosting other peoples nano/suv/mirage or something.It's useless in offline.

[THOTH]

How long does the dark mirage attack boost last any way at S rank? To my understanding it also only works on melee, not gunning/teching.

[pso123hrf]

Does anyone want me to make a video of any other thing in PS:P2? (no TA's, because that's not my thing).

Seeing as you are already making a video of techniques... Could you make a video of the attack variations between the males and females? I've noticed that males have a really strange attack pattern with single sabers. You're the guy that uses the HD PVR, right?

Any who, I have a series of questions to ask.

1. Are there any units (for armor slots) that increase technique speed (like the A/B unit in PSPo1)?

2. How useful are the skills that decrease technique casting time? Ex.: debuffs, healing, fire, etc

3. How would a female newman force fair with a card/crossbow setup? Using the card/crossbow for gaining combo, then a tech for damage, would that work? Do all ranged guns deal elemental effects? (Freeze, paralyze, etc)

4. How is the casting time with rods, canes, and TCSMs?

5. Would a support braver be useful in PSPo2? Like going for buffs/debuffs, and building combos? Would using the skill to cut casting time with buffs/debuffs/heal work well?

[Pillan]

1. No.

2. It's not worth it for buffs/debuffs since those cast fast enough on a rod even at 21+. But everything else has slower techs that make it worthwhile.

3. You'll be much better off with cards, since those use TP. You'll also have to be careful since both ranged and casting weapons drain PP. Ranged weapon effects vary depending on the weapon. Some have a different status with each element, others have a set status regardless, and others have none.

4. It's the same as PSU. Rods are slowest, canes are faster, and madoogs are fastest. However, the third move of a rod or cane combo has nearly no cast time. Madoogs can't combo, so they don't benefit from this.

5. Not any more than a support Hunter or Ranger, really. They can do better Resta, but the buffs are the same and everyone's used to using mates or casting on themselves by now. Increasing Resta's speed is good but, as I said earlier, buff speed isn't worth it and requires Force 20 something anyway. If you want to heal, buff, and debuff, I'd stick to Force.

You may also want to note that Resta is a lot weaker in this game. So equipping a high TP weapon with a natural Resta boost works great for support. The best way to do this is to keep Emilia in your party as she gives away B to S versions of her rod, all of which boost Resta.

I keep reading that techs can combo. My question is, how? Do you have to exact attack like with melee weapons, or do you have to use 1 tech, than the other tech for an alternation-like combo?

[irukandjisyndrome]

And now I don't have the most faith in my ability to read that Japanese, so:

Is PSPo2 infrastructure down for anyone else or just me?

What's the name of the rare SEED dragon boss? Also, can it spawn at the end of every mission, or just ones without a boss?

[Weeaboolits]

The kana reads "oruga diran", I think I remember seeing it transcribed as Orga Dillan (Or at least something similar) before, but I don't know if that's at all official or not.

Also, I have yet to encounter him on a mission with a boss, having to fight him right after another boss would be pretty obnoxious, though.

[irukandjisyndrome]

Thank you ♥

To anyone who may be playing for the first time reading this and encountering sg4001 errors when they connect to infra, you need to update your game before you can connect. Press the triangle button when the UMD is selected in the main menu, a bar should come up on the right and one of the options should say "Update". Select it and it will update the game for you.

This is probably common knowledge but I didn't know and was encountering errors because of it OTL

Just to make sure the game is linked to your psn right? so if you use a a different psp you can still play online as long as you use same psn?

Correct. The game disc can be played on any PSN account on story and adhoc mode (as far as I know), but infrastructure mode is linked to the specific account that registered the access code.

The PSN account MUST a Japanese account, and be sure to write down your login info.

[Touka]

How long does the dark mirage attack boost last any way at S rank? To my understanding it also only works on melee, not gunning/teching.

No idea how long the S rank version lasts but you're incorrect about it only working on melee,my Force was able to cast MUCH faster with the dark mirage.

It plays more like a PSU - Monster Hunter hybrid than plain old PSU. It still has a lot of PSU related stuff in it though.

Online works similar to the way PSO, minus the visual lobby. You connect to the a server, join or create a party, and go. You don't have to fool around anything like friend codes either. You can play with anyone. If you exchange partner cards, you can even send simple mail to each other.

The Japanese version gets updates as long as you purchase it. Pirating the game will stop you from getting updates. If you mean download content, download missions can be downloaded by anyone but download items are only available in the Japanese PSN. Since you need a Japanese PSN account to play online, you are free to get the download items as well. Not all items are free though.

You can try it this way (http://blogs.ign.com/xheavenxsentx/2006/12/09/39684/) from a PS3. Or try it from a PSP (http://www.maxconsole.net/forums/showthread.php?t=132637). I would recomend using a real email address though as if you forget your information while switching between accounts, an email account is the only way to get your information back.

There are optional micro-transactions. You don't need to buy anything to complete the game 100%. The items you can buy are completely optional and don't break the game balance.

[StamiStar]

How do you combo techniques? Is it all about timing, or do you chain different techs?
For what I've done, (□)→(□)→(□) (pressing square on whatever technic is on like an attack.) It's probably timing though.

[Soahd]

1) Does attacking enemy in the back give 100% accuracy?
2) Do using a armor with with a element make it weak against that element weakness?
3) Can we play online with a 56k internet connection?
4) Is there anyway to get the 1.01 UPDATE without the UPDATE option in the EBOOT/UMD menu?

[Pillan]

How do you combo techniques? Is it all about timing, or do you chain different techs?

You can use any combination of square and triangle to combo techs, as long as you don't press R to switch selection on rods. There's no timing required and you can just keep tapping the button until the next one casts. Since there's no Just Attack equivalent with techs, there's no disadvantage to blindly tapping the button.


1) Does attacking enemy in the back give 100% accuracy?
2) Do using a armor with with a element make it weak against that element weakness?

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
Can't help with 3 and 4, but I'd assume no on both.

What abilities would you recommend a CAST Hunter to use?

- on Story Missions

- on Challenge Missions

- on Free Missions

- on Urgent Missions

[Pillan]

Abilities don't affect challenge mode, so it doesn't matter there. For everything else, you'll probably use the same thing regardless of mission type unless you find yourself having unusual difficulty on the mission. Here are some abilities I would recommend for a Cast Hunter. Note that these can be pretty useful regardless of class.

PP Boost: It's not really necessary as Hunter, but it does allow you to use guns and melee more easily together. You get it at Braver 2 and it costs 1 slot.

PP High Boost: This increases PP by 20 and increases PP regen by more than the PP Restore ability as a Cast. You get it at Braver 15 and it costs 2 slots.

HP Restore: It adds HP restore to your character, giving you some slow natural recovery and saving on -mates. You get it at Braver 3 and it costs 2 slots.

PP Escape Save: This is probably one of the best abilities in the game. It allows you to roll more often (it practically regens completely by the time you finish the roll), so use it if you prefer rolling away from attacks. Don't use Guard Save since Just Guard doesn't cost anything. Costs 1 slot and every class gets it at 3.

Super Armor: Decreases flinching. It's really not necessary, but it might be useful to you if you find yourself getting thrown out of your combos. You get it at Hunter 8 and it costs 3 slots.

Full Charge Shot: Basically doubles the damage of a charged shot for 10 extra PP and a half-second longer charge. It's great if you think you'll combine melee and range. You get it at Ranger 2 and it costs 2 slots.

Damage Resist: Cuts all damage by 10%. You get it at Braver 2 and it costs 2 slots.

Wild Blast: Your blast gauge charges faster. You get it as any class at 5 and it costs 3 slots.

Full Custom Power: Increases all fully grinded weapons by about 3-4% damage. Every class gets it at 15 and costs 2 slots.

Element Hit: Status effects land more often. Requires Ranger 8 and costs 2 slots.

Recovery Item Boost: You get more HP from -mates. It's a nice bonus for hunters. You get it at Hunter 2 and it costs 1 slot.

EXP Boost: Boosts exp by 25%. You get it as any class at 20 and it costs 4 slots.

Rare Item Boost: Boosts rare item finding. You get it as any class at 30 and it costs 4 slots.

Jelis (Mushroom squid thing) from the Reol Badia mission drops double sabers rarely (always neutral). I got one when I played the demo but it took me more tries than I could count. Was well worth it though.

You mean the 290 w/e atp shield that looks like a gauntlet? I remember getting one in the demo while fighting in the first parum mission. I don't know from which monster but one of them dropped it for sure. There's also an S rank version with blue flames in the full game.

PMs don't have a "bst" as in PSU, but they (and all NPCs) do have a hidden counter for how much you've used them in a party. The more you play with a PM or an NPC, the more likely they are to drop items, photon arts, etc., and the higher their quality (such as GHxx4s or Emilia's S rank rod).

[W0LB0T]

How are hits calculated online. is it client side (PSO style) or server side (PSU style).

this is so weird. I started another save just to mess around with other races and abilities and while I haven't gotten the PM unit, I have the option available were I to HAVE said unit. but that character with the unit has it greyed out.. x_x

[Niloklives]

so i notice in the demo, the races when you first make your character have exclusive hairstyles and outfits (I.E. Human females with the "washu-ish" hair vs the female newman's floral hair) are these actually race specific styles in the full version or was that just something they did for the demo?

[Pandarino]

They are actually race-specific, as are the starting clothes.

Does anyone knows what do I have to do to make Vivienne "drop" (give me as a reward) her Vivienne?
It's my all time-favourite PSO weapon but even if I S-ranked a lot of missions with Vivienne in the party, she won't let it down >_< Just bad luck?

[Weeaboolits]

Just bad luck, I've gotten two or three off her, you just need to be persistent.

[Pandarino]

Ty, I'll keep trying...has it got to be a S mission?

Mission difficulty doesn't matter, but I would assume S ranking the mission adds more to the counter, as it did with B St. But, still, luck is another factor in determining the drop.

Do PA tiers work the same as in PSP1? If so, then it'd be a rather bad idea to use two handed weapons a Braver, since you won't be able to get the full combo, right?

[Pillan]

Do PA tiers work the same as in PSP1? If so, then it'd be a rather bad idea to use two handed weapons a Braver, since you won't be able to get the full combo, right?
All skills get their full combo by 11. Most 2 hand weapons start with 2 parts at 1 (unless they only have 1 or 2 parts, of course). Crossbows start out with 3 bullets (except for the save and special bullets, which fire 2) and cards get their third bullet at 21.

At class level 20 or higher, yes. You begin with 4 ability slots at level 1.

Can anyone list the advantages of the long bow? I think it no longer ignores defense, so what makes it a viable choice compared to a rifle? Does it get any special pa or SE that rifles don't have? Thanks

[Pillan]

On Bows:

- They use TP rather than ATP to attack, making them ideal for forces. However, with the ATA multiplier on all gun damage, Cast often does damage on par with Newmans while using them.
- They still ignore DFP/MST. However, because they use an ATA multiplier like other guns, the damage will look significantly lower than the [total TP]/5 value.
- Rifles have more ATP, ATA, range, and speed than Bows. And the Ranger class has more ATP than TP, so it's rarely ever worth it here. Depending on your race, Braver may have more TP and Force will always have more. However, its hard to argue that the that Bows are worth it in any case.
- The Bow charge shot is an incredibly long range piercing bullet which no (non-SUV) gun can compare with.
- The unique bullet for Bows raises element (like most guns, so it's not really "unique"...) while the Rifle bullet adds knockdown.
- Rifles have instant death, Bows have charm.

Hey so.. do a lot of people play either AdHoc or on SGEA's servers more? I'm just curious of the population.

Theres a fair amount of people on everytime I log on but they are all mostly japanese, so the whole language barrier thing can be hard at times when playing with people, unless you plan to meet up with people ahead of time to set up a game.

[kongajinken]

So I'm getting really annoyed at the fact that it seems like half the stuff that hits me knocks me on my ass even if it only does 6 damage. So I was thinking about trying out super armor but I was wondering how it worked exactly. Does it prevent being flinched, being knocked over, or both?

Get PP Escape Save and dodge more often =)

I'd would prefer just to walk up to something and rape it instead of having to think about dodging.

In fact let me shoot lasers out of my eyes so all I have to do is look at stuff for it to die.

[Deragonite]

With traps, you don't even have to look at things for them to die :o!

[Koiwai_Keiji]

Does anyone have sangeyasha yet? The wiki says it has damage reflection (which considering the amount aoe type twin saber skills can do sounds awful) but when extended it gets hp drain at the same time? Does the hp drain just mitigate the damage reflection, or it drains more than it damages the player?

[kongajinken]

How much does shifta and deband raise your stats?

[Izuna]

How much does shifta and deband raise your stats?

Depends, n < 11 is Level 1, n < 21 & > 11 is Level 2, n > 20 is level 3

and it raises in a percentage as well, your ATP + w/e.

[kongajinken]

I know the level thing but how much does each level raise it percentage wise.

[Lunar_Furor]

I have a question about the save changes to us. If it comes out it has been said that you could convert the save file with a CFW psp. Well I have one w/ CFW and one with OFW, when it comes out... if... would it be possible to change the file and play on the legit psp without being banned, or do they check save files. I know being CFW online gets your account banned but I'm asking about the save file.

I doubt anyone has an answer to this, but just in case. Does anyone have an answer to this, I'm really wondering, since this 'i cant read katakana' is getting annoying, I didn't really try learning too much but a little. I just don't want to learn a new language to play a game, and know what I'm doing with out the brute force of check everything, decide later. Such as what's in my bank (just go with it), navigating the quests to find one I need to run, oh here's one. You guys say the name of a weapon, quest, tech, etc. I have no idea what that is, and even worse, my foreign text stuff doesn't work now that I formatted my compy... which was nice, it made playing easier. I've tried to get it back but It's not working... if anyone can help with anything here it'd be really nice... mostly the saves and foreign text problem.

I have a few questions anyone know which monsters have the highest chance of dropping Shidenji-kikami because I have been fighting Davagains for a month but no results.

Also I noticed Monsters with prismatic white auras have the best chance of dropping 13 star rares anyway to get them to appear easier?

[Anon_Fire]

What levels do you consider the "Boost Aura's" to be?

Not the monster lv itself

[Lucky 777]

I don't know much about the auras besides the fact that when monsters have them their stats seem like they went up by 3 to 10 levels depending on the aura and that they have much better meseta and drop rates and that the ones with a rainbow like white aura have the best chance of dropping 13 star weapons.

They also give you boosted experience =). Bring those traps just in case!

[Lucky 777]

Thanks for the tip but I have been searching literally months for Shidenji kikami but to no avail. I wonder which monster has the best chance of dropping I've been hunting those fat seacow seed and all I can say is they are quite stingy they barely drop trash rares

[Ami]

Okay, so I have two questions. Mostly because I cannot read the Japanese text and the picture translations don't have them so....

1. I've downloaded the clothing add-ons from PSN. Where do I find it in the game? Or is there a step missing between getting them from PSN and actually playing that I'm missing.

2. I want to make a party in Internet Multi. How do I go about that?

[Mike]

#1. You need to import them. See WBMike's blog (with pictures by Tyreek) here (http://bumped.org/psublog/christmas-09-dlc-in-phantasy-star-portable-2-and-universe/) on how to do it.

#2. After registering the code that came with your copy of PSP2 through the PSN Store and patch the game, you can go to internet mode, select a server, and pick the second option (I think), you can create a party. I don't have my PSP in front of me know so I can't say anything for certain. I might, if I have time tonight, take some screen shots and slap some basic translations on them but they won't look pretty :(

The damage reflect goes away. The Soul Eater and any other weapon that may have damage reflect works in the same way when you extend it. The reason is because each weapon only has 1 "slot" for an effects, benificial or detrimental. When you extend a weapon with a detrimental effect, you can overwrite it an effect that is more benificial. I'm not 100% positive as I think if you extend the Frozen Shooter it will still freeze you occasionally. At least for weapons like the Sange Yasha and Soul Eater, that's the way it works.

[Ami]

Of course it would be in my face :p

And I don't mind. As long as I can tell what goes to what.

[Mike]

Boy are these ugly. Also, pay no attention to that return in the upper corner.

Like custom match on Xbox LIVE -- you specify what type of game you want.

[kongajinken]

That half works. I keep joining lobbies where people are talking, but I don't want to talk to them I wanna go pillage monster villages.

[Izuna]

Make a game =). They'll follow you to monster land for sure. (Though, make sure you specify in the game info which sort of missions and the planet).

[kongajinken]

Where's a decently good spear to get that's easy to obtain? I want to get a good spear extended so I can do some good damage, but I don't want to use an extend code on one then find something better in a couple hours.

by decent I mean 12 stars+

[Mike]

Demonic Fork? All you have to do is trade badges for it. Or was that magic rocks? I don't remember.

[kongajinken]

The one I have is slightly better.

[Mike]

How about the Rep Nasl or whatever the 13 star spear from the MA exchange mission? Automatic 50% in the color of your choice.

[kongajinken]

The one with tickets?

[kongajinken]

So I got the death rifle for 25000 kills...
From what I have heard rifle's are the way to go and death is a really good status effect so I was wondering if this was the best type of gun I would get for my hunter and if it was worth using an extend code on or not.

I got some non-gameplay questions, some that have been bugging me for a long time.

1. I want a legit copy of PSP2 BUT will I be able to slip my memory card into a legit PSP and play online without any trouble or should I copy my info to another memory card with no CFW?

2. How long did it take for your copy to arrive (in the U.S.)?

3. Why can't I get Remote Joy to work with my PSP (latest version CFW installed)? After watching several videos on how to install it, I've noticed 1 big difference. Some videos showed PSP type B driver pop-up window installing itself (the type of pop-up that shows that you plugged in a USB device) after installing remote joy and turning on your PSP for the first time. I never get that little pop-up. :( If someone knows wtf I'm talking about, can you explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

[Dobbin]

Question: I am about to get PS:P this Wednesday, and I am about to get a PSP too. Hah.

But, I am also going to get a 4gig memory stick. Is it required to play games on the PSP?

It's required to save your games.

1. I think if you try going online they can detect you have CFW and ban your account.

2. Almost two weeks

3. No idea haven't used it before

[Izuna]

Not really, unless you're going to download games or keep a lot of music on the PSP then 2gb is more than enough.

Also, if you're going to get a PSP before Phantasy Star Portable, download the demo first. You can try Phantasy Star Portable 2's demo also =).

[Izuna]

1. I think if you try going online they can detect you have CFW and ban your account.


Absolutely wrong. Sonic Team doesn't detect anything, not even a cheated account. People have to report you.

[Lunar_Furor]

Are you sure? Every time it's brought up they say someone will be able to see you are using CFW and one account or another will get banned.

[Izuna]

Are you sure? Every time it's brought up they say someone will be able to see you are using CFW and one account or another will get banned.

You can't connect without the latest firmware installed.
Just because you played the game with CFW doesn't mean that your save file is somehow flagged.

Basically, save files created with CFW work online with OFW.
Cheating the game (increasing/changing rare drop rates, experience et cetera) is not detectable at all. The only record of what you do is on your partner card.

[kongajinken]

So in the event that you can change your JP psp2 save into US psp2 using CFW then I can go online and play with people like normal?

[Izuna]

We don't even know if that's possible -- it could corrupt the save or change all of your weapons. Wait and see.

[kongajinken]

Here's hoping its possible.

[Dobbin]

Ok, my friend gave me a 32mega bit memory card.
How lame is this?
How much do I need for ps:p?

[Lunar_Furor]

1 gig or less, 512 would even work.

@ Izuna. People have also said that the switching from JP to US is possible based on the fact that it was done on another game (PSP1 or Monster hunter, w/e it's called and such). But if what you say is true and the switch is possible, I have become one happy man.

[StaticWings19]

Does anyone know if the american version will have the DLC that the japanese version has?

I REALLY want to be able to get the evangelion plugsuits and lance of loginous.

does anyone know what the availability of these items will be in the american version???

Taking into account how SEGA handled these items in the past then not a single DLC item will be available in the US version. Also expect some of the code input items to be taken out as well.

[Lunar_Furor]

I have ranked my hopes!
1- PSP2 comes out in America...
2- It's possible to turn JP save into US save
3- DLC comes out

As you go down the list, the chances drop... massively from maybe 85% to... 0...

Whats the strongest scythe in game and where can I find it?

[Mike]

Soul Pheonix maybe? It's the third in the "Soul" weapon set. Soul Eater, Soul Banish, Soul Pheonix. You get it by getting an S-rank on the Jump mission on S difficulty. I believe it is 13 star.

There's also the Il Gil Testament but I have no idea what it is. I just assume that since it drops from Il Gils it looks like their weapons. I don't know for sure though.

[GeoSword]

It's their dark scythe. It's classified as an axe, and I got one of those on Ancient Invaders S.

The multiplayer download mission with Olga Dilan as the boss. You can get the Soul Pheonix or Black King Bar as a random reward by S-ranking the S-rank.

Ok, it seems after many many unsuccessful attempts in getting my PSP to take screenshots, I think I've given up. Since I've upgraded to the lastest version of CFW, my SNES9x stopped working and I don't feel like learning to install a newer version.

So my question is, how do I go legit. I want to change my PSP from CFW to official stuff? Also will my pandora battery affect anything or is that just some kind of software? I had a friend of a friend of a friend install all this crap a long time ago so I know nothing about it.

I expect my copy of PSP2 to arrive any day now and I want to play online when it does.

All you have to do is download and install the latest official firmware.

The pandora battery is unnecessary nowadays..

[kongajinken]

(Ancient Aggressor)太古からの侵略者 Do you mean that? I only found that mission not ancient Invaders on the psp2 wiki.

[GeoSword]

That's the mission. I translated it as Invaders. My fault.

[Mike]

I would say "invader" as well but as long as we all know what mission we're talking about it doesn't really matter as there's no official translation.

[Akuno Ayanokoji]

Okay um, guess I shall be posting questions here from now on. To the point.
What do the little pictures of weapons signify? (the ones that show up when you choose a mission and are selecting rank)

and then my second question for now would be...what mission(s) would be good for getting type points? Besides from story missions.

[kongajinken]

アドバーススピリット(Adverse Spirit)-Hugely boosts DFP and MST when remaining HP is under 35%.

How much is huge?
