Old news: Last week the PSPo2 demo was released on the Playstation Store. It's pretty nice, and you can transfer your character from the first game and get a few bonuses. Although there are a few things translated that are inconsistent with the previous games like: Partner Machinery is now "MySynth" and Line Shields are now "Shield Weaves." It even has an online mode; although I didn't try it yet since I was distracted from the demo by Ys Seven (also an awesome game you guys should check it out).
In other PSPo2 related news it seems Japan is getting an expansion called "Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity." Looks like it will add a new story line, a new race called "dumans", bring back a few old PSO monsters (seems to be Garanz, Dark Bringer and Olga Flow so far), and the ability to take screenshots along with other changes. It sounds interesting, hopefully PSPo2 does well enough here so this gets an English release.
According to this topic we should be angry about this announcement because even though the Japanese version was out for a year already we haven't even played the game yet and will know that it is horribly outdated and therefore it sucks. While I normally enjoy complaining about things I'd have to disagree with this. Just from playing the demo I can tell PSPo2 is a huge upgrade over PSU/PSPo1. Yeah the new stuff for the expansion sounds great but I can easily wait for it while playing PSPo2.
