With many great PSP Exclusive games out there such as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and The Monster Hunter Games, a great gem was left in the dust while you were all fighting your sephiroths or killing dragons, and that gem was none-other then Phantasy Star Portable... clarity of thought, it was a game that was merely a port from the original PS2, X360 and PC Versions with a tweaked exclusive story and some exclusive content to boot, thats all fine and dandy, but it did well for what it was, so well infact that a full official sequel was annouced earlier this year of 2009, well middle anyway...and guess what? its exclusive to our beloved Sony Portable system the PSP. 
With that said and done i take credit for making this god-forsaken thread i say that because i was almost done with it once but my browser crashed and i lost up to 2 hours worth of info from various sites and my own input on the game so im not gonna make the same mistake twice i'll update as i go along and posting this thread now because im far to lazy and my er... nvm is high enough as it is... -.\\ seraphic out for now...

{-Plot-}
Phantasy Star Portable 2 takes place three years after the events of Phantasy Star Universe, all four races defeated and sealed off the SEED. However a new issue takes center stage, the resources in Gurhal are quickly diminishing. Due to this, a “Sub-space sailing theory” was set in place, where Gurhalians migrate to outer space. The player will participate in a private military group known as “Little Wing” on Clad 6, a space colony resort.
{-GamePlay-}
The Player starts by designing and customizing his or her own character by choosing facial features, gender, body and vocal features. Though much of the gameplay features will be similar to its predecessor, there will be some notable differences. Photon Points are no longer attached to weapons but characters instead, Photon Charges have also been removed from the game.
{-Connectivity with Phantasy Star Portable 1-}
Players will be able to transfer over their character from Phantasy Star Portable to the game however not all data will be carried over. Data that will be transferred over includes the character's name and parts of the character's original appearance, however the character's level and items will not be transferred over. Once a new game is started with this character data, NPCs will mention at times that the player is a former GUARDIAN.
