Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of Illuminus - Scans and Game
Details!
Posted on Wednesday, February 28 @ 09:27 PST

Phantasy Star Universe Based on scans obtained from a recent issue of
Famitsu, Ambition of Illuminus has been confirmed as a sequel to
Phantasy Star Universe. It will be released on Playstation 2, XBox
360, and PC. This sequel will feature new weapons, enemies, and
locations. Here is an overview of the information that was gleaned
from the scans:

* Weapons Types - Three new weapon types including a Photon Whip,
Slicer, and the Madoog. The Madoog is a left-handed TECHNIC weapon
that resembles a Phantasy Star Online Mag. Known Madoogs include the
Soniti and Sato.
* Weapons - Several new weapons will be added, including several
classic Phantasy Star Online ones. Examples of the PSO-type weapons
include the Holy Ray and a Durandal replica.
* SUVs and Photon Arts - The scans show two new SUV attacks that
include a very large sword and another with a Heavens Punisher type
attack. Also, new Photon Arts will be introduced.
* Stages and Enemies - The scans state that one of the new fields will
be based in the remnants of Rozenom City. Also, there will be new
enemies, one of which looks like the Grass Assassin, and bosses. Based
on the pictures, it looks like one of them is based on Del Rol Le.
* Clothing - PSO-style clothing will be included in this game. On
various screens, you can see a character wearing an Ash-type Humar
outfit.
* Rappy-Themed Casino - One of the screens features a Rappy-themed
casino.

It is currently unknown whether Ambition of Illuminus will have an
offline story. Also, there was no apparent mention as to how/whether
existing online accounts will transfer over to this game. We will
undoubtedly learn more over the coming months.

There's one picture of the kid from the last game so there should be
some kind of offline.

If it's online only it would be nice if it were downloadable for
owners of the last game instead of a retail product.

So, why a PS2 version and not PS3?

Good call. Most likely because there are far more PS2s in circulation,
and most PS3s are still sitting on shelves at Target and other retailers. Wink

probably because

a.) the original Phantasy Star Universe was first designed around PS2,
then ported to PC and Xbox 360. so PSU: AoL is also being made with
PS2 in mind-- it's easier that way-- to make another last-generation
game, port it with higher resolution to Xbox 360 / PC, instead of
making a whole new game engine based around PS3 or Xbox 360, something
that would take a lot more time & money.

b.) as someone else mentioned, there are far more PS2s out there than
PS3s. 100+ million vs a few million.

there's no reason this game won't get touched up a little and released
on PS3 also (no announcement on that mind you) but it will be some
years before you see one made from the ground up for PS3 (or Xbox
360).
