Finally, more information on Phantasy Star Portable has surfaced. The biggest reveal involves the ability to import characters from Phantasy Star Universe -- the console game that PSP is based on. Players of the PS2 and PC versions of Phantasy Star Universe may import their characters and carry over their character's name and personal data as well as currently equipped cloths and parts. Level, however, will be capped at level 20 and spare equipment, special items, etc. will not be carried over. Those with a 360 PSU will not be able to import any data at all.

Also, the game has an all-new story mode with new missions. A four player co-op mode through an ad hoc connection will also be included. Phantasy Star Portable is currently set for release in Japan on July 31. A North American release has yet to be announced.

I use ad-hoc. In fact, I never use infrastructure.

Still waiting for actual gameplay videos... I can't imagine this game playing any better then PSU unless they've completely revamped the battle system and exploration. PSU was pretty mediocre at best... with less graphical power and fewer buttons, this sound like an uphill battle to me.

How will that technically work with a PS2?!
Can you connect the PSP to the PS2's USB-port?
