Phantasy Star Portable 2 rumored to make debut in budget re-release

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 3rd 2009 at 6:00PM }

Sega's competitor to Monster Hunter found moderate success in Japan, when it sold upwards of 600,000 copies. Phantasy Star Portable is being re-released in Japan as part of Sony's "The Best" budget collection, and the new release will include a bonus UMD filled with extras.

While the bonus UMD is confirmed, an image circulating Japanese blogs and message boards suggests the disc may contain an unexpected surprise: the opening movie for the currently unannounced Phantasy Star Portable 2, in addition to video summaries of the entire Phantasy Star Universe saga. Considering the success of the first game, it's more than likely Sega would be interested in creating a sequel. However, without any other concrete source, this rumor is far from confirmed.

this game needed minigames..... or some other different game mode than what it offers. at least in monster hunter there were a variety of missions and better interactions, like a guild hall...

I loved this game. Of course its not going to replace Monster hunters or others but still is a fun time waster. I would like to be easier to switch among races... I had a Level 70 Human Hunter and I had to start all over from Level 1 just to check what the SUV weapons of the CAST was about. I dont want to start all over again just to see what the Nanoblast of the Beast are about.
