SonicTeam held their first public demonstration of the upcoming PSP game Phantasy Star Portable at Jump Festa 2008 which will be running until Sunday. Courtesy of Shougai PSO, I present you guys with some new information on the game!
Oh, yeah. Disclaimer and all that. Keep in mind that the information presented here is pertinent to PSP ONLY and DOES NOT REFLECT IN ANY WAY ON PSU.
One more thing, think of PSP in the same way you would PSU's offline modes as far as weapons, EXP, stats, drops, etc.
Guardian types
Hunter, Ranger and Force are still around as the basic types. However, it seems that they all have access to A-rank weapons in their respective categories. There are five advanced types available: Fighmaster, Gunmaster, Masterforce, Acromaster and Protranser. The requirements for each type are:
- Fighmaster: Hunter LV7
- Gunmaster: Ranger LV7
- Masterforce: Force LV7
- Acromaster: Hunter LV4, Ranger LV2, Force LV4
- Protranser: Not listed, but possibly the same as it is now.
Weapon proficiencies
Fighmaster: S-rank swords, knuckles, spears, double sabers, axes, twin sabers, sabers, slicers
A-rank twin daggers, twin claws, daggers, claws, handguns, machineguns, RCSMs, TCSMs
Acromaster: S-rank twin sabers, twin daggers, twin claws, sabers, daggers, claws, whips, slicers, twin handguns, handguns, machineguns, RCSMs, wands, TCSMs
A-rank knuckles, double sabers, cards
Those are the only two listed, though hopefully more information will become available soon. Also, no photon art caps were listed.
New weapons
A few new weapons were revealed in the demo, including the first C-rank axe and the return of some more PSO weapons.
- Sacred Duster (knuckles)
- Soul Eater (A-rank sword)
- Nacon (TCSM)
- Bil De Horn Axe (C-rank axe)
- Final Impact (shotgun)
- Primera Fiole (slicer)
- Laser Pannon (laser cannon)
Can't wait to see the Laser Pannon!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I've created a PSUPedia article on this information. There's actually more there that what I've typed out here, for example the game's control setup. Check it out if you'd like.
