Phantasy Star Portable (PSP)

Post by Damocles »

Clever name, eh?

It looks like the game will take place within the Universe timeline, so I'm not particularly excited...despite being a PS nut.

Nice

Buffed up characters and dragon hunting. No doubt will be a hit in japan.

I'm no reader of moonspeak but I hope that this is not a multiplayer game. I loved the series before they became a lack luster hack and slash multiplayer game.

No, this game is not Space Invaders.

If it doesn't have multiplayer like Monster Hunter does.. then I won't be buying it, plain and simple.

Surely, a game that will redefine "steaming pile". I hate PSU though.

I really enjoyed the first two on the Dreamcast. It's unfortunate that they aren't putting in some sort of online multiplayer option. If they had done that I would have wanted to buy the game more. Right now it's a toss up whether I'm going to buy it or not. Depends on if anything better is out at the time for the PSP or DS.

Hey an Erinu post.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I despise the series (but hey it's just me, others can find it awesome, good for them) so I won't buy it and that's a VERY GOOD THING since I'm totally in love with PSP RPGs and I wouldn't mind having another one.
Then again, if maybe I find it for under 10 euros and it's INCREDIBLY good, then...

Phantasy Star Portable 2.

Not a photoshop, apparently, they are testing new forms of in-game advertising.

they are adding a whole load of stuff and reworking a ton of facets of the game (no more grinding weapons (well, with Grinders! - you'll pay for the upgrades with meseta))

but absolutely worried stiff by talk of "story based episodes" because, well, PSU was SegaSatan curling one off into the mouths of PSO fans - PSO:Portable really was much better. But i fear we are about to get spunky spikey haired teen 'tude shite story inclusion cursed.

Zoinks! If that doesn't kill off the Phantasy Star name, nothing will! Sad considering what a classic series it was, and how great at least 3 of the 4 original titles were.

I liked the first PSP title pretty well, so it's guaranteed I'll get this upon US release (which is confirmed). Alfa System is the developer (not just porting this time*), so I'll be interested to see what they come up with.

*I'm assuming that the first Phantasy Star Portable was largely a port of something else, though I'm not so confident on this point.
