Phantasy Star Portable 2 is the as-yet unannounced sequel to Phantasy Star Portable. Its existence became known through information on a bonus UMD to be included with a best-seller's rerelease of the original game, which states that the opening movie for Phantasy Star Portable 2 will be included. Confirmation that it was SEGA's 'New RPG' to be revealed on August 20th appeared when magazine scans from Famitsu appeared on the internet.
It is due for release on December 3rd 2009 in Japan, selling for 5040 yen. No release details for other territories have been announced.
Plot
The story of the game takes place three years after the SEED incident. Instead of being a member of the GUARDIANS as with PSU and the original game, you instead work for a civilian outfit called Little Wings. Little Wings runs a space colony resort known as Clad-6.
Two NPCs are known - the human girl Amelia Percival (エミリア・パーシバル) and the beast boy Yoot (ユート). Although their exact roles are unknown it seems they will be major characters.
The story is said to contain twice the text and voice content that the original game had, in response to feedback that the original game's story didn't have enough volume and was too easy.
New content
The game is said to have more all-new monsters, and three times as many missions as the original game (according to the game's producer, Satoshi Sakai). Presumably it will include new items as well (similar to the original game). Also stated is that there are 'fully redone character designs' for the game's default classes, although the exact meaning of that is unclear.
Battle changes
New moves will be available in battle, some seemingly inspired by Phantasy Star Zero. Among these are an emergency dodge, charged shots for ranged weapons and shields similar to Phantasy Star Zero, but available as single handed weapons (since PS0 did not have the same dual wield system PSU and PSP have). Other details on these are currently unknown.
Network play
Unlike the original game, Phantasy Star Portable 2 will include infrastructure mode allowing for true internet play. According to Satoshi Sakai, players will be able to be matched up in a four-player party through a matching counter, but you can also search for other players and exchange partner cards so you can play with friends. In addition, there will be multiplayer-only missions that require more than just 'slaying monsters'.
