More Character Transfer + Bonus Item Information

[Mike]

http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psp/information/pspthebest/

New info (?) on what can be transferred and what can't be transfered. The bonus items are also explained.

The bonus items are a saber called the "Exam" (イグザム) that is equipable by all races and classes and a random effect unit. I assume this would be something like the extra units that give you an aura. I was hoping the bonus item wouldn't be the saber we saw in the video yesterday but it is. Bleh.

And for the nitty-gritty of the transfers, this is what transfers over:

# Race
# Sex
# Underwear color
# Eye color
# Lip color
# Skin color
# Body shape
# PM name
# PM type
# The parts/clothes you are wearing (they go in to your inventory apparently)

This is what doesn't:

# Level
# Voice type
# Voice pitch
# Anything besides body type, skin color, and lip color that is appearance related
# Accesories (ie hair?)
# Items in your inventory
# Meseta
# Type levels
# Photon arts
# Stored items
# Titles
# Item collection

And while I don't think this affects most of us, only characters from the retail version of PSP1 and not the demo/trial can be transferred.

At least the important stuff like underwear color transfers. The feature would be a complete waste without that.

And I thought I could make a new char in PSP1 and level up to 100...It's useless now.

Btw. isn't that saber called "Exam" and not "Igzam"? (it's a bit confusing how they write english words in katakana x_x)

You, sir, are correct.

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

So our new sword is called Exam? I wonder where they got the name from?

So no face shape/head type, eye shape, ears, eyebrow shape and hair stile... Why are they removing all the hair and ears instead of adding more? what a waste...

Pretty cool!

Copypasta UMD video mentioned at the bottom.

Phantasy Star Portable [PSP: The Best]” will include a 63 minute movie UMD disc. The movie title “Phantasy Star Universe Chronicle” will sum up the Phantasy Star Universe series starting with Chapter 1: The SEED invasion!, Chapter 2: Ambition of Illuminus, and ends with the Chapter 3: Seal of Rykros. It will feature narration from Ethan, Laia, and Lumia, and voice work for Episode 3. Episode 3 is a must see because it features excellent voice work from familiar voice actors. This is an indispensable fan item and they urge you to watch it before enjoying Phantasy Star Portable 2

Igzam.
It's exam, really.

Who said they were removing any? You just have to pick it all out again.

I kind of wish they'd sell the UMD video seperately. I don't need an extra copy of PSP hanging around.

I read "iguzamu" here.
