Phantasy star portable 2 : OMG AWESOME!!!!!

Alright, so the demo for this game is out right now on the PSnetwork, and IT BLEW MY FUCKING MIND! I've been a fan of Phantasy star since the first one (although the fourth really was the best one) and the MMO series. For those of you who played the very first version of universe should totally get the demo. Heres a few tweaks and stuff they did to the gameplay: -You can now dodge with "X". Theres an invulnerable frame during the dodge. -You can block now. 2-handers (rifles and such included) and shields can block -new weapon: shield (heh). You block with "R" (works like a secondary fire). -New gimmick: perfect blocks can proc special effects from shields. You also receive 0 dmg if successful. -New gimmick: Perfect counter can be executed after a perfect block. -Chain combos now exist The higher the chain, the higher the damage on the next photon art. You can chain as a group. -Online coop!! And if its like the demo, its also MOTHERFUKIN FREE! Also the offline coop is still there. -New monsters, new environements, although the game is YET AGAIN in the PSU universe. Which means theres still some old monsters and old levels in there. -More ways to customize your characters and your room -Classes can now be customized. For instance, I could trade the ability to use handguns to be able to use wands on my hunter. Those "expand points" can be acquired by leveling your class. -Theres now a "shared storage" -The ability to trade is now possible (wasnt in Phantasy star portable 1). Although it can only be done with people you share partner cards with. -Theres some new photon artes. -Graphics improved since PSP1 -The border of the screen flash red when youre low on hp, making it easier to realize youre dying -Theres a visual effect when you hit monster with its weak element (if you hit a fire monster with ice, you see chunks of ice flying off the monster when you hit) -The PP (photon points) system changed. Now artes (melee weapons), guns (bullets), Rods (technic) all use the same bar. It empties rather quickly for some things, but it refills quickly. Also, melee attacks refills the bar very quickly with each hit. No more empty clips on guns and such. -Refill points (before points) refill your health and such instantly, instead of healing you like 10-15%/3 second. Didnt test it that much, but it looks like it. -New music and old tracks in there (and the opening is awesome, youtube it) -You can now add ARMORS to the palette on a newly added 3rd bar. This is especially useful if you want specific armors for gunner or tecnic user, also for element protection against specific bosses. -Armors have more open slots now (didnt see a single armor without at least 2 open slots for upgrades) -You can now over upgrade your weapons and they can change after breaking the level 10 cap. Didnt test it yet though. -Humans and Newmans now have a mirage blast. Now, im not sure if that was already implemented in PSP1, but, well, its there. It works pretty much like a SUV for Casts or a Beast form for the Beasts. That about sums it up. Im in love with the demo, cant wait for the game to come out next month!!! Dunno if any of you guys/girls are gonna play this, but itd be awesome to exchange partner cards when it starts :) Also, there a few things that werent implemented in the demo, like the trading, so i dont exactly know how it works.

I grew up playing PSO on Dreamcast and then XBOX. Will I like this game and is it worth $40?

Many are saying this episode is one of the greatest so far, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

Btw is the online mode restricted or can we europeans join american players in a game?

The online is connected to PSN. I know JAP and NA isnt the same server, but im not sure about europe. It also has something to do with the game version. Im not that knowledgeable PSN wise, but if you connect to the same PSN as north america, then yes.

^ Should work fine then.

As for the codes. You can have Hatsune miku's outfit,Rei and Asuka's plug suit, but what's really awesome is...
Archer and Saber's outfit with the Excalibur sword(invisible version)! Damn that game just went higher in my esteem.

Now I'm pissed because I made a male character.

imo, dont bother with the cool looking items like the miku leeks, excalibur, archer swords, longinus, etc. until you have the extend codes to make them S rank weapons :\

I'm lvl 40 currently and these weapons are the best I can possibly get for my level. I don't know where I can get extend codes but isn't this like supah high level?

you get extend codes by doing multiplayer chalenge missions. I dont remember exactly if you have to do a bunch of them or whatever (i read it somewhere) but yeah... Basically you dont get extend codes until way later in the game, and you dont need them to get by, at all. But yeah, if you REALLY want to keep your miku weapons later on, thats the way to go :)

challenge mode nets you extend codes, and so do the JP DLC missions.

Is Phantasy Star 2 a squeal? Do I have to play the first game to understand story?
I might get the game regardless, but its nice to know.

Hmm after seeing the review many said this game's gameplay is very good however does the story is also as good as the gameplay?

I keep remembering the problem of playing Resonance of Fate which the gameplay is really good however i just couldnt understand it's story.
