So I've been busy and haven't wrote anything here in awhile and since I felt I haven't posted enough like Minus I wanted to post this and it probably contains information you already know about... BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT OK!?
Anyway, I was pretty disappointed that Sega ruined PSP2's online mode right off the bat. Yes that's right the code for online that came with the game was useless! Oh, but don't worry Ruby said they are working on a fix! I have no idea if they got it working yet but the damage is already done. This is probably the fastest I've seen an online Phantasy Star game get ruined. Sure it was bound to happen but at least the online code could have helped kept off pirated copies of the game.
Next the game seems to have a few glitches. The UMD version of the game seems to have the install "corrupt." I use the word "corrupt" loosely because from my experience it seems that the game randomly shuts off the install data in a mission and once you complete it you are able to just turn it on again. It's pretty annoying and should be fixed. Also there seems to be a freezing issue with the mission Awoken Serpent once you enter the boss warp. This should have never been and definitely must be fix.
Also it looks like the game has no DLC, free and paid (I didn't care about the paid stuff anyway). It seems the English version of the game changed the way some items were obtained so it's looking very unlikely that this content will be released. I have no idea why they took this route. The DLC missions are FREE for the Japanese version of the game so why not just put it on the disc and leave it at that?
There is a way to use the Japanese DLC on the English version of the game though. Besides the mission text being in Japanese for the new content it seems it also updates a few English quests into Japanese, also there are issues playing online with people who do not have the DLC. I haven't tried using this so if you try it do so at your own risk.
And lastly, the nice folks over at PSUPedia released the full list of passwords for PSP2. I thought this was pretty nice, and much better than Sega's slow release of them (PSU updates anyone?). Although Clumsy wasn't too thrilled about this, and compared to them a cheat site (although he later changed his wording on the matter). Lastly he said "hacking out content is killing the game, killing the community, and hurting the franchise." I agree with the first and last statement but in all fairness I'm pretty sure the community is killing the community. Also in this case the "hack" didn't hurt anyone so I don't see what the big deal is compared to some of the stuff that went on in PSO and PSU.
