There's a lot of reason to be excited for the upcoming Phantasy Star Portable 2. Well, there's at least one reason that stands out quite a bit: online Infrastructure support. The Sega-developed RPG was always meant to be played with friends, but the first game was relegated to local Ad-Hoc support. With the addition of Infrastructure, we can play PSP the way it was meant to be played.
The Japanese website for PSP2 has been updated with the intro movie to the game which features a theme song by Hideaki Kobayashi. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming along to the catchy, English language chorus. Phantasy Star Universe ...
Yeah, they said you can transfer your character but it seems none of your levels or equipment carry over. Instead it gives you some kind of unique reward, but they haven't said what that is yet.
Targeting system needs work, along with the cut-scenes but other than that, I really enjoyed the cut-scene. Don't like the song here at all though, what was wrong with the PSO theme?

No, can't really hum to this.

This new one doesn't even resemble the original Phantasy Star theme, do we need the cheesy anime singing?
