Phantasy Star Portable characters won't transfer into PSP2
Sega's upcoming Phantasy Star Portable 2 is one of the most exciting RPGs coming to PSP. Why? Infrastructure support! We're really intrigued to finally have a real online RPG experience on a handheld. Unfortunately, those of you expecting to import your level 60 characters from the first PSP game will be out of luck: to keep things fair, PSP2 will have you creating your characters from scratch.
There are bonuses to be had for players of the original, though. While you won't be able to export your XP or gear, you will gain access to an exclusive item: "exzam weapon," according to Siliconera. Hopefully, news of this bonus will be enough to forgive us for screencapping this horrifying shot from a Japanese promo video for the game. What's with that guy's outfit?!

I think using PSP2 in the post title wasn't the best choice... I thought you meant the next Sony PSP version at first...
How about:

Yo dawg we heard you like PSP so we put PSP on yo PSP so you can be confused while being confused when the sequel for PSP, PSP2, releases.

"PSP2" is incredibly misleading, Mr Yoon.
You rabble-rouser, you.

Personally I always try to refer to it as PS:P or PS:P2

I guess that's fair. Even tho I played the first one, I'd rather star with a fresh new character for PSP2.
And well, the japanese are kinda weird. But in a fun sense. So those clothes aren't really surprising at all...
